In my English class today, we were tasked with responding to a picture of Barack Obama. Here’s my response!
Note: It’s not of the same professional quality as my initial post, so do bear with me, eh?
Come on, let him win! Man, this American election is like the world’s biggest soccer games. You know the one, from the Heinneken commercial where the entire world is watching one soccer game, and all the nationalities watching it comment on the play-by play. Judging from international opinion polls, I can guess what the entire world’s reaction will be if John McCain and Sarah God-put-the-bones-in-the-ground-to-fool-us Palin win. The streets of every major capital in the world will be rife with burning cars and writhing crowds. Minor republics in the Caribbean will declare war on the Americans just because of their choice of president. Families will be gathered, crying, holding and kissing mini-crucifixes, murmuring the praises of the Virgin Mary.
On a more serious note, the election of John McCain would be the worst thing to happen to the world since the invention of the nuclear bomb. Sarah Palin, john McCain’s running mate, seriously believes that God created the world, civilization and all, six thousand years ago, and that scientific evidence that proves otherwise was invented by God to fool us. Jesus Christ. She is an ardent supporter of abstinence-only education, a policy that didn’t work in her own family, let alone a policy that will work on the entire country. She believes in the right of every citizen to bear arms unrestrictedly and holds the profits of oil companies above the status of polar bears. The very fact that Sarah Palin was even a serious consideration of John McCain as a Vice Presidential Candidate shows how disturbing a place America truly is. The fact that she has such widespread support makes me want to move to New Zealand, because Marx knows what she’ll do to Canada if she gets into office. The McCainian side of the McCain-Palin ticket isn’t all too disturbing, what with the standard, expected Republican cuts of social programs, increased military spending, and further alienation of the rest of the world, but his choice of running mate is a true sign of the perverted times we live in.
Barack Obama, the first black man to be elected president, will counter the evil that is in America currently. Some accuse him of being a socialist, but I praise him for having those tendencies. Nationalized health insurance will reverse the capitalisticly evil trends prevalent in the US today. As I said earlier, I dearly hope Barack Obama wins this US election, for he will revolutionarily change the course of the US, and maybe, just maybe, I will stop thinking of the concept of evil imperialism whenever I see a US Marine or their flags.
Nice Tony
