I haven't written in quite a while considering I was on a bit of a 'writing steak'.

Spring break is officially over for me and now I have exactly THREE weeks of school left. Thanks to God! This semester isn't really killing me or anything, but I am so excited about applying for nursing school I just can NOT wait for fall semester to get here. Once I get in, (whenever that may be), I will be so relieved and feel like I'm actually getting somewhere!

This week I'm going to be delivering my last speech in my communications class. That thrills me.
This speech is going to have to be a persuasive speech. After thinking of tons of things I could do that are really controversial and would probably make everyone hate me, (I even considered doing a 'Why Bush wasn't our worst president' speech), I finally settled on the argument that we need to utilize nuclear power. I will post that once I have the finished copy, with some well argued points that no person can disagree with, regardless of what party they associate themselves with.

However, I am not going to talk about that right now. I am going to explain my frustration with the idea that President Bush was this horrible president that completely ruined our country.

Now, was President Bush my favorite president? No.
Was he one of my favorites? No.
Was he one of my least favorites? No.
Was he better than both Al Gore and John Kerry? YES.

Just getting those statements out there.
What lit the fuse?
After commenting on a very well written article by a friend, I also pointed out that Bush didn't have the power that Obama has now. Not to be a jerk, because I knew that the writer knew that and she was trying to make a point. I pointed it out because president Bush was a scapegoat for things he was not responsible for.

Regardless, after I made that comment and a few others, this guy replied with the following:

I'll comment on Linnie's note to Linnie. I needn't toil with anyone who, with a clear conscience, can support our last president.

And Katelyn, don't flatter yourself so much. My faith is in an intelligent, articulate, cautious yet unyielding optimism unseen in this country in the last eight years.

Before I elaborate, can I point out the phrase 'I needn't toil'? Does this not sound like someone who is flattering their own self? How ridiculous can you get?

I, KATELYN GRACE, HAVE A CLEAR CONSCIENCE ABOUT SUPPORTING PRESIDENT BUSH.

How about you, reader?

I tell you who I wouldn't have a clear conscience about:
A president that supports not only abortion, but infanticide. Look it up.
It goes beyond wrong. It's sick, disgusting, and if that were the only thing I didn't like about Obama, it would keep me from voting for him.

DO NOT THINK for one second that God will not recognize that YOU VOTED for a man that wants to kill babies to advance his political agenda. How sick is that?
Any human argument that says that the woman will kill herself trying to kill the baby inside of her with clothes hangers and such, is just outright moronic.
Do the few idiots who kill themselves trying to snuff out the innocent life within themselves actually make it right to legalize killing babies?

Right, just right. So that alone is why I can say that I have a clear conscience to support our last president.

And, honestly, I was going to type more. I wasn't going to base this off of that one thing, because there are many other reasons. However, I do think that is a sufficient reason for liking president Bush.
