Gaddafi
Muammar Muhammad al-Gaddafi born 7 June 1942), has been the leader of Libya since a military coup on 1 September 1969 where he overthrew King Idris of Libya and established the Libyan Arab Republic. His 42 years in power made him one of the longest-serving rulers in history. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, Gaddafi's government was considered of doing acts of state-sponsored terrorism, assassination of expatriate opposition leaders, and crass nepotism which amassed a multi-billion dollar fortune for himself and his family. Gaddafi renamed the Libyan Arab Republic to Jamahiriya in 1977, based on his socialist and nationalist political philosophy published in Green Book. In 1979, he relinquished the title of prime minister, and was thereafter called "The Brother Leader" or "The Guide" in Libya's Socialist Revolution.Gaddafi was a firm supporter of OAPEC and led a Pan-African campaign for a United States of Africa. After the 1986 bombing of Libya and the 1993 imposition of UN sanctions, Gaddafi gradually sought more benign relations with the west, resulting in the lifting of UN sanctions in 2003.
I personally do not know what to think of Gaddafi. He does not seem pleasant to be around. Obama was said to have gone to Libya to see what was going on. Not to smart a choice. Michele Bachmann, Tea Partier, Congresswomen, and hopefully future president, said in Obama’s position, she would not go to Libya and try to take control. 20% of the people fighting him are only doing so because they think he is a Jew, which he is not. I hope to learn more about who Gaddafi is and write about it here.

Democrats w/ titles
Last night, I was watching a political debate with my Dad; it was between Robert Reich (a democrat) and another person who was a republican. Mr. Reich is an Ivy League college professor and a cabinet member for a prior president .He has some impressive titles. My point is, just because he has a big title and is on the news, doesn’t mean he is right, fair, or is telling the truth. The following are a couple examples of the point I am trying to make.
The first example is; say there was a town with 100 people in it, where 12 of those people might be working hard and making a lot of money. These people might be working for 11 hours a day. They might also be doing some extracurricular activity in addition to their regular work. Can you guess what would happen to these people next? They could become rich and successful. And they should be because they work hard!! Robert Reich doesn’t respect these people, he robin hoods them. Everyone knows Robin Hood, the robber who takes from the rich and successful and gives the money he steals to the poor and maybe people who don’t work as hard. That all sounds great but even if he gives to the poor he still is a robber.
The second example is that Democrats think they’re better than everyone else. They think they know more and want to decide everything for everyone else. They do this for their benefit mostly….. Democrats would literally control you if they had the chance. They are not better and they are not smarter. I would say they were the opposite. From the things he said it sounds like Mr. Reich is for all of this. HE wants government to decide things for you and control a lot of your life.
The above examples are examples are unfair and things that MR. Reich believes in. They show that just because a person is a professor and talks on TV, does not make this person right or fair.
