This guy needs to never say anything again if he wants to have a chance to be elected.

I chose to write my letter on the tea party, and my views on their "politics, or lack their of. I agree with some of their ideas, such as economy, because i don't believe that socialism works with large area. I think it works from community based ideas, but when you try and introduce it to say a country, it will and has on many accounts fail. But that's not what i will write about, i am here to discuss the tea parties negative media, really the racism that many of their candidates are showing. I've pulled up a few examples of such negative stories. Really what I'm going to be talking about is the Tea Party and how they will bring negative media and relations to the country if we elect any of them because of the choice idiots they seem to cohort with. So, its an anti Tea Party piece... original right?

O'Brien
Tim O'Brien's speech was amazing. He his upon the things that I tried to hit upon during my earlier writings in the class, about truth and how to truthfully tell your version of truth. That whole concept is actually pretty amazing to me. I remember when i first thought about it when i was reading. It was really exposed though after i read The Things They Carried and how it effected his writing. The way he writes using meta-fiction is amazing, it seems true yet it never really happened. O'Brien will always be one of my favorite writers just because of his exploration of truth, which he and i have in common. I believe this will be a trend, for many authors to recount their lives's tragic or mentally harmful experiences.

Persuasive?

Well, one is from a liberal source of median and the other is from a republican source, by reading both you get a general idea of whats going on, the Federal court is changing the gay in the military clause. Now other than it being a "Don't ask, Don't tell" policy its open towards gays. The recruiters are only required to tell their "gay" applicants that it may change in the future and that they were not certain that they would be able to stay in active service for long. These and the human element that they both used are about the only similarities. The authors then start showing subtle differences in their writing styles, Fox showed a more republican approach, which was more resistant to the idea than its more liberal counterpart CNN. Fox, was much less professional in thier writing than CNN, and it almost seemed like they were waiting for the Pentagon to change the order back, while CNN seemed to deem the whole thing as a good thing with its more professional and more extensive cover of the story.CNN also showed the people they interviewed in a more positive light, with comments that promoted their chosen branches, while Fox left these things out.
