Daniel’s Thought Spot

Here, we have a great video of Dr. Rand Paul expressing his concerns that universal healthcare will cause. It really is a great video that raises some questions on whether this is a good idea or not.

Well it has been quite a while since President Obama has done much of anything that has made the news in a big way. Sure he has been on vacations and he has made speeches regarding some of the world’s current events, but recently Obama made a public speech regarding the war in Iraq and how he is helping to bring the U.S. involvement in the country to a responsible end.

Some of the speeches highlights included how he a implemented a new strategy in Iraq, one that has helped to put more and more Iraqi nationals in control of security while pulling more and more American forces and equipment out of the war zone. That is a big deal to a lot of Americans who for a long time had wanted to leave the country for all sorts of reasons. In the eyes of many people, President Obama has done what many thought Former President Bush couldn’t due. Yes after all the missed deadlines, and broken promises, the United States will be leaving Iraq very soon, a truly memorable event that President Obama can check of on his list of things to do.

Well it is now official people; Justin Bieber is the world most popular kid, on the internet at least. Today it became official that Justin Bieber’s music video “baby” over took Lady Gaga’s video Bad Romance as most watched on YouTube. That is quite a feat considering how new the young artist is on the music scene and how quickly he achieved his fame.

Right now though, it looks like he will be holding the top spot for some time now as no other video is close to claiming the popularity that his currently has. And even though he isn’t even close to making my top ten popular artist list, here is his video.

If you are one of those people who happen to be living under a rock, then you probably have no idea what the tea party movement is and what it stands for. Well, if you recall the last great Tea Party movement way back during the revolutionary period of America, you are already half way there in understanding what this modern day protest group is standing for. Okay so by now you can grasp that the Tea party movement has a lot to do with current taxes in the United States, most importantly on the government raising taxes.

One of the big reasons why so many people are starting to hear more from the people involved with the Tea party movement is due to the massive amounts of government spending that was the result of the Banking crisis of 2007. Now while the government did save a lot of people’s homes and businesses, they also spend trillions of dollars in government funds to make it all happen.

Basically what the Tea Party movement is trying to do is keep the spending of the federal government down so the average people don’t have to pay for it later in the form of higher taxes. Honestly with the current plans that this administration has for the U.S, expect to see more from these people who want the government to spend less and conserve more.

If you just so happen to be one of those people who have no idea what the fair tax is then you are in luck. In this video, Mike Huckabee explains in detail how this new type of tax system would work and how it is a lot better then the one we are using now. Enjoy.

Okay, so the world cup might be over and won’t be returning for quite a while, but that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy the greatest moments out of the last world cup. Well, here is a complete video of every great goal that happened during the world cup. Enjoy.

You know, with this BP gulf oil disaster that has been going on for sometime now, a lot of us have begun to question whether we really should keep drilling offshore. Sure gas is somewhat cheap now despite everything else that is going on in the world, but it can’t stay their forever. That being the case, we Americans could go without our cars maybe one or two days out of the week right? Well, that maybe true, but doing that is like looking at only a corner of a very big and complex picture, one that many people aren’t ever aware of.

Okay, it’s fairly common knowledge that our cars rely on oil products like gasoline, motor oil, and other petroleum fluids to keep running, but gas and motor oil isn’t the only things that crude oil can turn into. In fact, out of the worlds average consumption of oil, a huge chunk of it goes to making plastic things such as bottles, parts, and just about every other item on the market.

That isn’t the only thing that we make from oil. One of the hidden products of petroleum that many do not know about is medicines in pill form. The way those pills work is essential to the lives of many people, and oil makes that possible. So if we were to cut down our oil consumption from our cars, we would still need it.

Hey, ever heard that phrase “zip your lips”? Well I found a photo that brings new meaning to that phrase. Granted it is a Photoshop, but it’s a pretty darn good one. Honestly, I have no idea how someone would start to make a picture like this. I guess that is what really makes it cool and interesting to look at.

Okay, so Halloween might be a long ways away, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t make something truly scary for others to enjoy. Here is a great and strange Photoshop that make some cringe in fear, but others laugh at it. Strange I know but then again, it is a strange picture. Take a look.

You know, the wonders of Photoshop are truly amazing to me. With the skill of some people spending a lot of time in front of your computer, you really have to ask yourself if every picture you see on the internet and even on T.V. Here is a great example of some true creativity.
