This was taken from a Freedom and Reason blog post. Many Anons posted ignorant comments, of which, Austin replied to. I also replied. See "Steve Indigo":

They wouldn't. You're not seriously trying to suggest that Obama is a socialist, are you? Because if you did this you would informing people about how ignorant you are of basic political philosophy, and surely you don't want to do that.

What these anons are posting is absurd, to say the least. AIM may be non-profit, but they are, without a doubt, cheerleaders for conservative establishment media.

Most importantly, it doesn't matter what was happening in that recent past, because this is the Obama that we see today: a half-black, anti-progressive candidate who, maybe, 150 years ago, would have made great speeches in attempts to justify slavery. He would be just as famous, if not more, if he was the Republican presidential candidate.

August is a very busy month. There’s my mom’s week camp I have to assist in (watching 8-10 kids, maybe even more…); a St. Pierre family reunion, and getting back and ready for school (consists of purchasing supplies and showing my brother around the school as he is entering Grade Nine). My dad’s birthday (turning the big 4-0!), and saying farewell to my cousins who are moving to Alberta.
This barely even leaves me any time for one last update on a first person… Errr… ‘Novel’, I suppose you could say. (Even though I have one last scene to go; I’ll have to take a Saturday off and finish it before the last week of August...)

But yes, curious about the title, are you? Guess what Emily got to do today!

I got to take part in assisting a big role in watching around ten kids today; for my mom’s camp. It happens every year, where kids register and participate in small crafts, games, songs, a (very) small movie split into parts (featuring a puppet chipmunk named Chadder). – And all this comes down to a very special theme that is featured everyday; and leads community kids closer, or to know God for the first time.

This year – was a science theme. All the ‘crew leaders’ (this is what I’m doing) get to wear LAB COATS! =D It’s so fun! (And I’m spiking my hair up with gel for the rest of the week JUST for the occasion…!)

We have around 125 kids signed up now, though – holy cow!

When we went to the story (basically, this is where the daily bible story is acted out) – today was when “Jesus heals ten people infected with Leprosy” ((hope I spelt that right)). So they stuck red stickers on our faces and told us we were ‘infected’. You know, young ‘uns these days – their imaginations can make something so easy seem so realistic.

Today’s theme of the day was “God has the power so we can be thankful” (AHA!)
“Aha!” – We have to say that whenever the “theme of the day is mentioned” – and that changes everyday. (You know, say it with enthusiasm! Like a scientist getting a sudden spark for a new invention!)

I’ll stop now – I’m just really excited, and really bushed and tired at the same time.

But… With kids so young; the best place to interact with and fiddle around with is their imagination. …Sooo…

“Okay; let’s all put our goggles on!” (Even though I never got a pair because we had SO MANY KIDS…) Two boys (around 10 and 11) just rolled their eyes at me; but I didn’t care about how ridiculous I acted. I just wanted the young ones to look forward to seeing me tomorrow.
“We’re going to go underwater and swim to the crafts!” (There’s a scene of Moses parting the Red Sea along the walls) – Most of them really liked the idea and participated; which made me happy.
(When we went outside to the games; I pretended we were in a desert – because it was warm and the sun was out).
Now, thanks to stuff like that – I have a young boy who’s seven who wants to be around me all the time.
Not that I don’t mind. =)

In other news… I beat the Elite Four in Pokemon Diamond on August 9th. I caught a level 18 Zangoose by inserting my Ruby Game Pak into the Gameboy slot and using the Poke Radar – and I also obtained the Eevee from Bebe (female on the SECOND TRY! =D). It took me about a half hour to decide what I wanted to evolve it into…

Jolteon – Pokemon XD
Flareon – Pokemon XD
Vaporeon – Pokemon FireRed
Umbreon – Pokemon Colosseum
Espeon – Pokemon Colosseum

I was left with Leafeon and Glaceon. I’ve never really raised a grass type before (and I rarely ever do), so I went for that… I levelled my Eevee up at the Moss Rock in Eterna Forest, boom, there’s the Leafeon (did I mention FEMALE?! =D) – it is now at level 9.
Now I have an empty slot in my team… I was thinking of raising a Shellos and evolving it into a Gastrodon?? I don't want my Empoleon - so I was thinking of raising that instead.

Meh, I’m tired – my legs feel like jelly, and I woke up at 8 AM this morning. I’m gonna go to bed for a while, catch up on some sleep, and get all refreshed.

I heard this guy speak a couple weeks ago and I just happened to be born in September. I'm thinking of doing this.

Yeah It Seems Like Less And Less Happened This Year
Or I Blogged Less...

On Halloween, Deborah Myers (Sheri Moon Zombie) is called into her son Michael's (Daeg Faerch) school after the principal becomes concerned with Michael's behavior, as well as the discovery of a series of Polaroids of dead animals Michael keeps in his locker. Present at the meeting is Dr. Samuel J. Loomis (Malcolm McDowell), a child psychologist, who informs Deborah that Michael displays the warning signs of a psychopath and urges her to allow him to further assess the boy. Earlier that day, Michael had been bullied in the bathroom over a flyer advertising Deborah's strip club, where she was a dancer. Michael followed one of the bullies into the woods and brutally beat him to death with a tree branch. That night, Michael goes home and murders his mother's boyfriend (William Forsythe), his sister Judith (Hanna R. Hall), and her boyfriend (Adam Weisman). Deborah returns home to find Michael bloodied and sitting on the porch with his baby sister. Michael is convicted of first degree murder and taken to Smith's Grove Sanitarium, where he is placed under the supervision of Dr. Loomis. For the first eleven months, Michael cooperates with Dr. Loomis, claiming no memory of killing anyone. Deborah visits him regularly, where he shows her the papier-mâché Halloween masks he has been constructing in his room and wearing all day. One night, Michael befriends orderly Ismael Cruz (Danny Trejo), an ex-con who teaches Michael to cope with incarceration by internalizing himself. Michael takes the advice literally, entering a state of semi-catatonia. Shortly thereafter, he kills a nurse (Sybil Danning); Deborah Myers, who saw the event, returns home that night and kills herself. For the next fifteen years, Michael (Tyler Mane) continues making his masks and not speaking to anyone. Dr. Loomis, wanting to move on with his life, retires, deeming his former charge a true psychopath and writing a book about his time working with Michael. Michael is scheduled to be transported to maximum security, but breaks free of his chains, murdering all of his guards, and escapes. He finds his way to a truck stop and murders a driver for his clothes. Michael returns to his childhood home and retrieves a kitchen knife and a Halloween mask he stole from his sister's boyfriend from underneath some floorboards.

The story shifts to Laurie Strode (Scout Taylor-Compton), and her friends Annie Brackett (Danielle Harris) and Lynda Van Der Klok (Kristina Klebe) on Halloween. Throughout the day, Laurie witnesses Michael watching her from a distance. That night, she heads to the Doyle residence to watch their son Tommy Doyle, who persistently asks her about the boogeyman. Meanwhile, Lynda meets with her boyfriend Bob (Nick Mennell) at Michael Myers' childhood home, where they drink beer and have sex. After they finish having sex, Michael appears, murders them, and then heads to the Strode home, where he murders Laurie's parents. Having been alerted to Michael's escape, Dr. Loomis comes to Haddonfield looking for Michael. After obtaining a .357 Magnum handgun, Loomis approaches Annie's father, the town sheriff, telling him that Michael has returned home and that people's lives are in danger. Sheriff Brackett (Brad Dourif) and Dr. Loomis head to the Strode home, Brackett explaining along the way that Laurie is actually Michael Myers' baby sister. He was the responding officer the night of Deborah Myers' suicide; not wanting the infant to grow up with the stigma of being related to Michael, he faked her disappearance and left her at a nearby hospital.

Meanwhile, Laurie gets a call from Annie, who is babysitting Lindsey Wallace across the street from the Doyle home; Annie convinces Laurie to watch Lindsey long enough so she can have sex with her boyfriend Paul. Annie and Paul return to the Wallace home; during sex, Michael murders Paul and beats Annie until she is unconscious. Bringing Lindsey home, Laurie finds Annie on the floor, bloodied, and calls 911. She is attacked by Michael, who chases her back to the Doyle home. Sheriff Brackett and Loomis hear the 911 call and head to the Wallace residence. Michael kidnaps Laurie, and takes her back to his home. At the Myers home, Michael approaches Laurie and tries to show her that she is his younger sister. Unable to understand, Laurie grabs Michael's knife and stabs him before escaping the house; Michael chases her, but is repeatedly shot by Dr. Loomis. Loomis and Laurie are just about to leave when Michael grabs Laurie and heads back to the house. Loomis intervenes, but Michael kills him by crushing his skull. Laurie takes Loomis' gun and runs upstairs; she is chased by Michael, who, after cornering her on a balcony, charges her head-on and knocks both of them over the railing. Laurie finds herself on top of a bleeding Michael. Aiming Loomis' gun at his face, she repeatedly pulls the trigger until the gun finally goes off just as Michael's hand grips Laurie's wrist.
