School voucher is a tricky matter that has two parts. Bush administration wants all schools to meet a higher standard through vigorous testing, a good idea but rejected by some democrats. However, if a public school fails to meet the standard, students may transfer to a private school at the expense of the problematic school. Sadly, most of the private schools are a type of Christian madrassas and it’s a way of siphoning public money to religious cause.  

Kerry surely lost a big bottle of Ketchup because the winning President will have the luxury to appoint at least three Supreme Court Judges. It’s expected that Bush will choose conservative judges even though he promised to appoint only those who will reinforce the constitution. Obviously, liberals did not feel comfortable but there is a hope for Ex-Muslims and those who understand Islam with honesty. Banning Quran is a secret wish of many people and only conservative judges can make this dream true with a little help from legislatures.  

All of the above issues are important to many liberals, yet they voted for Bush. They are not a bunch of ignorant, god fearing, redneck idiots, as claimed by many foreign and domestic intellectuals. Interestingly, 51% college graduates voted for Bush compared to 47% for Kerry. Also, 49% of Bush voters did not finish their high school whereas 50% of Kerry voters are in the same class.   

I am not an intellectual neither I understand all these complicated stuffs. So as to vote for the right person I used a simple philosophy that I discovered from an old story. There was a king who was scared of his wife and so were his ministers. One day, the king called his countrymen to assemble in a large field. Upon arriving, he asked the people to separate themselves in two groups, those who are afraid of wife should go to the north of the field and the brave people will stay where they are. Within a second everyone ran towards the north, leaving one skinny guy in the middle of the field. When the king asked the guy about his bravery, he replied, “Your honor, I have no idea of what’s going on here but my wife told me to stay away from the crowd and I am only following her order.”  

No, I was not afraid of Bush. As a matter of fact, he will do a fine job in his second term. Kerry wanted to reach out to the Muslims and whole Islamic world including Omaha Bean Lingerie responded with overwhelming support, I was scared. When each and every Muslim that I know ran after Kerry, I stood in the middle of the field and voted for Bush.  

Election is over and now it’s time to unite. Democrats and republicans will have to work together for a prosperous and a stronger America . I admire Kerry for his prudent action.  He fought bravely but conceded smartly, glorifying the beauty of democracy. When Edward, the trial lawyer made a short speech on election night, many worried of lawsuits. After all, trial lawyers have teeth like vampires and they bite.  

Bush is surely doing a great job in poking Islamic sentiment. Most of the Islamic countries are not feeling comfortable and giving a second thought on their idea of “taking over the world”. To accelerate this process, Islamic countries should be disinfected from Islam. Middle east countries are constantly blackmailing the westerns with their oil. Balancing the budget and a good energy plan are the best ways to go but there are obstacles. America needs to find alternatives to solve the energy problem. Hybrid cars are coming but we still need oil.  

Reducing the deficit is an important factor for growth. When government and the people compete to borrow money, interest rate goes up. Rising interest rate impedes the growth. Bush has declared to cut the deficit in half; hopefully he has a concrete plan. Greenspan yelled at senators for spending liberally and they should listen to him like good students.  A few million here and a few million there add up to a high amount. There is no reason for spending on a shrimp project that John McCain rightly called, “No shrimp left behind” project. Hopefully, President Bush will go through the budget, page-by-page if not line-by-line.  

Unquestionably, Energy plan, the most crucial factor of America ’s survival should take top priority. Kerry is a dedicated environmentalist, who would never think of hurting the environment for the sake of energy. Everyone has an obligation to save the earth but this issue may take a secondary position depending on the circumstance. Imagine a couple, standing by some daffodil flowers and appreciating the beauty of nature. In a normal situation, they would not destroy those flowers. Now what if an eight feet tall grizzly bear sneaks behind them? They would be running for their life, without caring for those flowers, possibly smashing those beautiful flowers if they have no way out.       

Bush’s energy plan includes easing rules for oil and gas drilling on federal land in the Rocky Mountain and Alaska ; expand clean-coal technology, more nuclear plants and improving the reliability of the electric grid. Republicans have gained a few seats in the senate but not enough. They needed 60 votes to avoid democrat’s filibuster, the use of obstructionist tactics, especially prolonged speechmaking, for the purpose of delaying legislative action.  

Democrats and the environmentalists overlook the importance of becoming self-sufficient in energy. To save the mankind, Islam needs to go; to eradicate Islam; supply of easy oil money to Middle Eastern countries should be discontinued. Now it’s for the prudent senators to decide, whether they will save a few polar bears or the mankind!
