What is Presidents Day?

Presidents Day: Not Just a No School Day

Presidents Day is not just a day off from school or work. On Presidents Day became a national holiday in 1879.

First celebrated on Washington’s birthday it was later changed to the third Wednesday of February.

Today, we celebrate all Presidents that have led our nation. This holiday helps to reunite the people of the United States.

Presidents Day gives us some heroes. Heroes such as President Lincoln and President Washington who were both born in the month of February. George Washington on February 22, 1732 and Abraham Lincoln on February 12, 1809. Other Presidents with February birthdays included William Henry Harrison born on February 9, 1773 and President Ronald Reagan born on February 6, 1911.

Presidents Day Honors All Presidents

Presidents Day honors all of our Presidents regardless of the month they were born in and regardless of the political party they belonged to.

Since George Washington’s election in 1789, 45 men have served as President of the United States. Each of us is different and we may not agree with all or the policies of a President, we can still recognize the office of the President of the United States.

Happy Presidents Day to America from Kids Speak for America.

OoRah to all of our Presidents.

Bulls Eyes and Cross Hairs on Arizona

Guest Writers and Submissions 1 Comment

In the wake of the Arizona shooting some in the liberal and conservative media seem to be throwing gasoline on the flames. You hear Democrats and Republicans blaming each other for the terrible acts of an out of control individuals that had views that were unacceptable to most people in either party.

You hear people blaming the Republicans and Sarah Palin for her Cross Hair Map.

During the 2010 elections, on her Facebook Account Sarah Palin had posted a Cross-hair map of states and candidates to beat in the elections. And the Democrats have been using Bulls-eye maps to target states and candidates to beat in the elections.

You hear people blaming the Democrats for their Bulls Eye Maps.

The above map targeting Republicans was on the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) website.

This Bulls Eye Map appeared on the Democratic Leadership Committee website (dated 2004 during the Bush years).

You hear people blaming President Obama for his Speech such as those listed by Jim Hoft at Gateway Pundit in his short list of Obama’s “greatest hits”
** Obama: “They Bring a Knife…We Bring a Gun”
** Obama to His Followers: “Get in Their Faces!”
** Obama on ACORN Mobs: “I don’t want to quell anger. I think people are right to be angry! I’m angry!”
** Obama to His Mercenary Army: “Hit Back Twice As Hard”
** Obama on the private sector: “We talk to these folks… so I know whose ass to kick.“
** Obama to voters: Republican victory would mean “hand to hand combat”
** Obama to lib supporters: “It’s time to Fight for it.”
** Obama to Latino supporters: “Punish your enemies.”
** Obama to democrats: “I’m itching for a fight.”

As conservative or liberal kids there is only one map that we should honor and that map is the map of the United States. We cannot fall victim to the hatred being delivered by any politician, newscaster, columnist or blogger. As kids we must be able to recognize that there will always be hatred in one form or another. As kids we must be aware of what is going on around us but we must also understand that this tragic shooting in Arizona was not the fault of Sarah Palin, Barack Obama, the Democrats, Republicans, Conservatives or Liberals. This shooting was a violent act committed by one lunatic shooter a 22 year old whose name I will not even mention for he has already gotten too much press.

May God Bless America and tone down the Rhetoric.

Is The First Amendment an Excuse to be Rude?

Seth Leave a Comment

Why is it that people just love using the First Amendment freedom of speech as an excuse to be rude? The “I have freedom of speech or the right of giving my expression” for an excuse to be rude is getting very annoying because people are constantly using it.

For an example when conservative Candidate for Congress Art Robinson came to Lowell, Oregon. There was this very obvious liberal who kept yelling out at the candidate, “Let him talk,” as Robinson was explaining something to another person. Another obvious liberal kept interrupting Robinson instead of allowing the candidate to finish his explanation.

First Amendment freedom of speech excuse is getting on my nerves as it continues to be mis-used as an excuse to be rude. It seems like a lot of Democrats and Republicans are too often saying “I have the right to talk or show my expression.” A person may think they have a right but when a speech such as the candidate was giving is on private property they don’t always have that right.

This First Amendment freedom of speech excuse is one of the very things that will drive me to start making comments back to people. These people think they can use the excuse but when you do in return they get mad. It seems like these people get mad even though you or I don’t always use the excuse. When it makes us mad we too eventually start to always use “I have the right to talk” or ” I have the right to show my expression!”

You Should NEVER Vote In An Election

Guest Writers and Submissions Leave a Comment

Did you vote in the last local, state or federal election? If you did should you be voting in this election? Politics is confusing and can really get on ones nerves especially in the days leading up to Election Day. You receive phone call after phone call promoting candidates, you are bombarded with television and radio commercials. The newspaper are offering their views of the candidates and trying to tell you how to vote.

Do you like all of the dirty politics that is going on? Do you believe the ads that tell you how great one politician is while taking snippets out of a comment made by the opponent to show how bad they are? Before I convince you of the reasons you should never vote in an election let’s give you a few reasons why you should vote every chance you get.

You Agree With the Candidate
If the candidates’ views and opinions closely parallel yours this is usually a person that you will want to support. It really is not enough to just vote for the candidate because they are likeable. If you think likeable is enough to get your vote you might want to take a look at some of the people that we now have running the country.

You Disagree With the Candidate
You may want to vote against a particular candidate, instead of voting for your preferred candidate. This type of voter often feels that the candidate’s views and opinions should never, ever be allowed to influence local or federal politics. Emotions run intensely during elections, and some voters prefer to try to keep a certain candidate out of office, rather than using their single vote for the candidate they like.

Vote to Cancel Another Person’s Vote
This scenario in sometimes seen with couples that have diametrically opposing political views. The goal of such couples is solely to cancel out the vote of their spouse! Sometimes that means voting for someone other than their preferred candidate, but as long as their vote cancels their spouse’s vote, they are satisfied. The emotional factors come into play once again.

Vote to Take Votes Away From a Candidate
In a variation of “you disagree with the candidate,” While this can be a trap and result in the candidate that you would like to see winning end up losing, some people will vote for a relatively “harmless” candidate who has no chance of winning, rather than give their vote to the frontrunner. These fringe candidates try to win the votes of undecided, disenfranchised, or angry voters in an attempt to act as a “spoiler” for the more popular candidates. Sometimes these “take-away” votes are enough to swing the election in a particular direction, and sometimes they are not.

You Want to See Change
Wanting to see change is a strong reason to vote. Where you must be careful is that you are not voting for the wrong change. As an example, if you want less government and less debt that alone may be a good reason to vote Republican. If you want the government to control everything you do from birth until death that would be a good reason to vote Democrat.

The ONLY Reason You Should Never Vote In An Election

If you are old enough to vote there really is only one reason why you should never, ever vote in a political election. The only acceptable reason for not voting is if you are DEAD. In some locals even deceased persons have fraudulently voted, but that’s a discussion for another article.

If you live in the USA, it is your civic and patriotic duty to exercise the right to vote. Your ancestors and maybe even family members fought and died to earn this right for you, and you owe it to them to vote in every election. Some of them may be fighting right now and you need to honor them and protect their right to vote too. Do not disrespect our fighting men and women by telling them that their sacrifice is not good enough for you?

If you allow Election Day to roll around without voting or fail to mail in your absentee ballot on time don’t complain about the election outcome. You had a chance to change the results, but you passed. Remember that each and every election and each time a candidate comes up for re-election.
