 TulaneGOPWelcome to my blog!
I'm Jewelyn, and as you will discover, I'm a right-wing nut job. Self-proclaimed, of course, and I make no aims to hide it. Some issues get me more fired up than others, and sometimes I just like to write about whats on my mind. This is an exciting time in my life as I just received my degree from Tulane University in New Orleans, Louisiana. (Yes, Katrina Ravaged City that it is...) I love it down here but I have since moved to the Liberal Blue State of Michigan.
Anyway, I was always quite active on my campus in political activities. I was President of the College Republicans, with ambitions for more, of course. I was also the Vice-Chair for a grass-roots conservative action group which is just now starting across the country. I'm working closely with the founders to get it up on its feet, and things are looking up!
I've worked on eight different campaigns, starting at around age 15. I know my State Senator Norma Anderson, State Representative Don Lee, Governor Bill Owens, State Treasurer Mike Coffman, Congressman Tancredo, Senator Wayne Allard, former Senator Ben Nighthorse Campbell... and thats just in Colorado. In Louisiana, I helped Congressman Bobby Jindal and Senator David Vitter. Now, in Michigan, I am working hard the turn Michigan's economy around. Louisiana and Mississippi are on the bottom of the barrel, but after Hurricane Katrina, that's no surprise. Michigan shouldn't be that far down. So I'm working to bring it back to the RIGHT!=D
"Once upon a time we were proud of our strength, our military power. Now we seem ashamed of it... I am willing to be as 'modern' as anyone - as long as modernism does not constitute a debasing of our tradtional values. But if to be modern I must accede to policies that would turn the foreign affairs of the United States over to the United Nations, disarm our great military regime...give away our food and technical skills to the so-called neutralist nations and get nothing in return - if this is what is meant than indeed I am not modern and never want to be." - Barry Goldwater
Hopefully, you'll find what I have to say intriguing. If not, its ok, that's the beauty of a free country! You're welcome to respond with comments, questions, kudos (definitely partial to these!), or even criticisms. I do ask that you be respectful, refrain from using profanity, and of course realize that I am entitled to my own opinions just as you are. So have fun reading what goes on in my mind as I expand my own political knowledge and perfect my writing abilities. Enjoy!!!
I'm a fun loving college student dedicated to the proliferation of conservative ideals and thoughts on college campuses wherever I may step foot.
I love to have comments and love to have responses. I'm all about debating and sometimes sparking interesting conversations.
My Dad calls me a fireball.

For those who don't religiously check the news as I do:
ACLU sues Dallas suburb for refusing to rent to illegal immigrants..
Here's why this is innapropriate. According to the ACLU, a group that claims to stand for US Civil Rights (for example, they defended the NAMBLA - North American Man Boy Love Association, after a man raped and murdered a 10 year old boy), the landlords must act as immigration officers. However, if you read the ordinance itself, it says that the landlord is not to rent to the illegal immigrant and is to turn them over to local authorities. This means that the landlord doesn't have to deport or carry out any of the duties of a immigration officer... so really I don't see the similarities.
We can only stop illegal immigration if we attack it on all fronts. Businesses should be raided until the businesses get better at checking to see if the immigrant is here legally or not. Landlords should have every resource available to them to report illegal applicants. And that wall needs to be built, so the very mention that the new Congress will deny funding for building a fence that has ALREADY BEEN ARGUED, DEBATED, AGREED UPON, AND SIGNED IS absolutely and undeniably wrong. Going and erasing something that has already been passed by Congress and the Executive Branch is effectively dismantling democracy and SHAME on the Democrats for denying us our Democratic rights.
2. Not a big fan of Russia and Putin, even if Bush can "see his soul," but because Russia is denying space technology to China I think perhaps they recognize, as I do, that China isn't on the friendliest of paths. They will undeniably be the next world superpower as the Americans are eaten alive by the secular-progressive movement's hatred and shame of our own country. (i.e. We have no right to spread Democracy, or as they say, IMPOSE Democracy. We have no right to be the policman of the world, when OBVIOUSLY the UN can do it., etc.) What this shows is that, while China is quickly developing its own technologies, Russia is choosing not to give it's technology to another nation without some reciprocation. Even coming from a slowly declining Democracy, it's a smart move. And one the United States can learn from if we aren't to be surpassed as well.
3. Our new Secretary of Defense is making some waves with the consideration of recruiting immigrants into the military. This type of measure would put immigrants who sign up for military service on the fast track to citizenship. What I like about it is that it fills the critical void we need to support our military and our current obligations, as well as providing that "path to citizenship" everyone keeps wanting for illegal immigrants who broke our laws to begin with. Seems to me a valid reason for me to forgive them: you want to be here, you broke our laws and lied to your employers, neighbors, and authorities to do so, but we won't kick you out if you serve in our military. Otherwise, we do with you what we wanted to and send your ass home until you can follow the path to citizenship that already exists and you SHOULD have taken. What I don't like is that it underscores the unwillingness of some of our own citizens to serve (even though we have so many valient and brave men and women who do who I can only say I have the utmost pride and admiration for) and that it seems it also could put our national security at risk without the proper precautions.... we'll see what they say will assuage my concerns.
Anyway, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
