I'm a Chef and writer who has an immense passion for what I do. I tend to rant and ramble on a variety of subjects, hence the title of this blog. The "in-training" part of the title comes from my belief that no matter how experienced a chef may be, he or she should always be training him- or herself and constantly striving to become better.

Politics

So, obviously, I need to comment on the Presidential Election... Not only because it's my right as an American, but also because everybody else in the country is talking about it.

Right, so in case you couldn't figure it out, my support in the election was given to Obama... Here's my reasons:

Obama got us out if the recession and wants to implement economic policies that will help college students and the middle class. He also support equal rights for everybody and is an advocate for an affordable healthcare system.

Romney wanted to implement economic policies that would help the upper class and raise college tuitions so people from lower-income backgrounds wouldn't be able to go to college. He also supported shipping jobs overseas, reducing health insurance coverage, and does not support equal rights.



Personally, I don't see how any middle class person, homosexual, college student or woman would vote for Romney at all. In all honesty, the election was annoyingly close. It shouldn't have even been a question... Unfortunately, many American's fall for the bullshit that conspiracy theorists throw out there... You know what I'm talking about... No? Let me remind you.

"Obama is a Muslim."



"Obama is a Socialist."
"Obama is the anit-Christ."

Bullshit like that.

First of all, Obama is NOT a Muslim. If you claim he is, then show me a picture of him praying. At the same time, explain to me why a Muslim is a bad choice and a Mormon is a better choice? Even if Obama was a Muslim, that wouldn't make him a terrible person. If you think it would, you're an ignorant fucktard and you should go away.

As for the Socialist claim: FDR was a socialist too. The interstate highway, Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, Disability, Workers Comp, The USPS, all those benefits that 100% of American's enjoy DAILY are all Socialist ideas. So unless you've never driven on a highway, never received mail, don't have a social security number, and have never received any kind of government support IN YOUR LIFE, then you have no right to say that you're against socialism.

I have no proof for the final claim, but let's be honest... Only religious nut-jobs would believe that Obama is the anti-Christ, and that's only if they try really hard to find the nonexistent evidence. Hell, only a religious nut-job would believe that humanity will be destroyed in the End of Days... I'm not here to talk about religion though, so let's just leave it at that.

Now, many people are completely ignoring the great things that came from the election. First and foremost, Main, Maryland and Washington approved same-sex marriage. Secondly, Wisconsin elected an openly gay senator. Finally, Minnesota voted NO to discrimination. In addition to this, Colorado and Washington legalized Marijuana.

America ACTUALLY made progress yesterday. Therefore, I think America deserves a pat on the head, or a slap on the back... Hell, even a congratulatory hand-shake would be nice... We don't deserve a bro-fist or a high-five though... Why? Because people are COMPLAINING about the election results. They're saying that Obama is going to destroy this country.. Huh... that sounds familiar... Who else was supposed to destroy the country? OH YEAH! GEORGE W. BUSH... Guess what, if this country can survive 8 years of Bush throwing all of our money at a war that we never should have started in the first place, we can survive another 4 years of Obama throwing that same money at programs designed to improve this country.


And that's my political rant. If you have a comment about anything I said, leave a comment. HOWEVER, keep in mind that I will only respond to well-written, grammatically correct arguments. I will not respond to trolls or poorly written bullshit. If you feel the need to throw in an insult, feel free. I certainly threw a few out there, it's only fair. However, I want to see logic and reason, not just random insults.

Thank you
