We did the class test over Canada!
Third Party Discussion continued- The United States Pacifest Party. It was founded in 1983. They reject military force. They believe in peace and helping refugees. The American Conservation Party was founded in 2008. They believe in personal economic treatment. They want the abuse of power to be stopped. Unity Party of America started as a forum discussion online. It was formed in the November of 2004. Bill Hammons is the current chairman. We have a national debt over $18 trillion dollars. We were about $10 trillion dollars in debt when Bush left the office. We are adding $5 billion to the debt this year. Taxes are raised, jobs are cut, and you have to cut spending to lower the deficit. This is almost what needs to happen. We are still one of the richest countries in the world. The Christian Liberty Parted started in 1996. They believe the government should be run by conservative Christians. They focus on Christian principles. The Middle East doesn't separate church and state. Often times, they are the same thing. Religious freedom is not ensured. We have religious freedom here. We may not preach that we need to believe this over this, we cannot pray, or that one religion is better than another. Liberatarians believe in less government power. They believe in peoples freedom. The United States Pirate Party was founded in 2006. They don't support piracy laws, they think information should be free. They support open governments. They have about three thousand members as of 2011. They believe we shouldn't have to pay for online information and movies. Somalia and Asia have pirates. I am your captain now. Internet websites would try to make money using ads. Ad block plus kills companies that use digital advertising. The Constitution party started in 1992. They believe that government officials ignore the Constitution and act on their own. They want to end social security. They oppose illegal immigration. They don't believe in abortion. They also do not support gay marriage. They want state rights. If it's not in the Constitution it should not be done. Many parties want to restore ethics. CSU is only in one of the states in Germany. Germany has a total of 16 states. They were founded in 1945 after the second world war. It stands for low employment and social welfare. Germany's economy is very good. The SPD is the social democratic. It is Germany's oldest party in 1875. It has gained a lot of power with cities. They are more open-minded. CSU is very conservative. Germany has separation of church and state, although their main party is Christian. The political spectrum test might be Thursday.

Wednesday
We took a test over the Canada maps, and we filled out our Asian maps chart.
Thursday- We worked on our projects. We went over the Asia maps.
Ben Carson is gaining support, but Donald Trump is still ahead of the game. A very high percentage of African Americans voted for Barack Obama (90%). Ben Carson is African American and is a Republican. Jeb Bush is also running for President. Donald Trump could potentially be hurt by himself. He is very politically incorrect. Carly Fiorina was the former CEO of a company, but was judged off of her looks by Donald Trump. "Look at that face. Would anyone vote for that?" Women are held to a double standard- they have to be smart and modelesque. Ben Carson is very religious and religion is a major part of his life. Bernie Sanders closes the gap with Hillary Clinton in Iowa. Other Democratic candidates continue to rise steadily as Clinton's popularity declines. Clinton has dropped 12% since July. Around 1,000 people are called for polls. Sanders is in a dead heat with Clinton in Iowa. New Hampshire also has Sanders in front of Clinton. Clinton has dropped due to her email scandal. Trump could receive backlash for his political views.
-Stan means state and land.
Friday- We sang O Canada for extra credit. It was pretty bad. We went to war with Afghanistan after 9/11. This is the 14th anniversary of 9/11. We will start our presentations on Monday.
