Ron Paul’s new channel launched today! 
I am looking forward to what this channel has and will offer. So far there is not that much simply because it just started. It has updates from the channel’s latest tweet and Facebook post. You can subscribe and pay for exclusive material. The link can be seen here.
When I first saw this it was both a surprise and not a surprise. Christie, ever since Hurricane Sandy, has been hanging out with Obama. I’m not saying that in particular is bad, except Christie seemed a little too excited to be with Obama, especially as a Republican. With Hurricane Sandy I see no problem with people of being different political parties coming together and helping fellow Americans. But Christie has been getting heat from Rand Paul and heated exchanges continued between those two. I see that as one of the reasons Christie did this move because of the heat he got from certain Republicans. Another reason was because he spent time with Obama. I feel that the views Christie has about Libertarians brought fuel to the fire…and again with Rand Paul. It will be interesting when the results of the New Jersey Governor Election will be among the 2014 Midterm Elections. I feel that Christie will either win by a landslide or lose by a landslide. His support, or lack of support, from Republicans could either help him or work against him. And it must be noted that the end of the article, it says it is political satire.

As a huge Star Wars fan I am so excited about this mod! I’m quite surprised I haven’t heard about this until now. This will be very exciting to play. That’s a plus of Minecraft – there is practically a mod for anything if not, there is probably making it right now.
This is interesting about the polling numbers. One has to ask if there is a correlation between the recovery plan presented by Obama, the unemployment numbers, and the lack of significant gains of job growth since Obama was elected in office. Reasonable to say yes. I wonder if the numbers will stay that same (or near the same) while Obama is in office, assuming there is a correlatio. If the Oval Office is to be elected to the GOP in 2016, and how good or how bad the economy will be, will the numbers fluctuate according to the economy? Who’s to say? Only time will tell.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is on top of yet another poll today. But it’s not the result her team was hoping for. In a new Rasmussen Reports poll, Clinton tops five others as the one candidate voters don’t want to win in 2016.
This is an interesting result. I personally don’t want a person who lied and was caught and was fired during the Watergate Scandal yet refuses to do deep investigation for Benghazi, among other things. The link can be seen here.
Some of my peers and friends when they introduce me to other people they will say: Mitch, the Guatemalan.
They couldn’t be more wrong on this claim. Yes, I am from Guatemala. Yes, I immigrated to the United States. But what they cannot get through their (on this subject) dull minds is that I only have ONE citizenship. That citizenship is my American citizenship. For only two year I had a Guatemalan citizenship and since I immigrated to the US, that no longer exists. In its place was my American one. I don’t refer them to their family’s country of origin or by (racial) slurs. Then they state: You can’t be president. While that may be true, statistically we both have about the same chance of becoming president – little to none. I am an American. Latter on I will ramble one on how I am Mayan, not Guatemalan. Once I have that up, the link will be seen here.
It seems that Biden sees Ted Cruz and Rand Paul as a threat to the current establishment. I for one approve of Cruz and Paul. Makes me laugh when Biden says such obnoxious statements. The link can be seen here.
Michael Bloomberg, Joe Biden, and John Hickenlooper will not like this. Oh well. The link can be seen here.
This is not a surprise to me. When it comes to guns, lay off. The link to can be seen here.
According to isidewith.com, I am 67% Republican. The most issues I side with the GOP are on economic, social, immigration, and science issues. I was raised by parents who identified and are registered Republican so it is not a surprise as most children are the same political party as their parents. This number is both a surprise and not a surprise. My political views have been changing for some time (not the surprise) as several years ago I was, if I remember right, 85% Republican. The drop from 85% to 67% was the surprise because I never knew, according to isidewith.com, the drop was that much.
Second on the list was Libertarian at 56%. The most issues I side with the Libertarian Party (LP) are on economic and healthcare issues. Again, it was both a surprise and not a surprise. I discovered the Libertarian movement during the whole gun control hype. Curious, I did some more research about the LP and it appealed to me. Over time I read more and I agreed and it has only been about a month and a half that I would consider myself as a libertarian Republican. That is not the surprising part. The fact that the percentage was 56% shocked me. As I am typing this the question comes to mind: Am I going through a Libertarian phase? Who knows, maybe I am and when I take this test/survey again, it will be lower. Or I am not going through a LP phase and will actually increase. Only time will tell.
With 41% and third on the list was Democrat. The most issues I side with the Democratic Party (Dem) are on science issues. Again, all the results are both a surprise and not. I never knew that Dem views were creeping that much in my political thinking. It may be because of being in college as college will liberalize students. It just matters on the degree of how much or little it will do and if those views will change back to more conservative views once out of college. The exposure (both bad and good) will no longer be (in my opinion) shoved in your face. The last time I took this test I got, from my memory, around a 20% for Dem.
Fourth place was the Green Party at 7% and fifth place was the Socialist Party at 2%, both siding on no major issues. I personally take being a 2% socialist, or even a socialist at all, as an insult.
The full results can be views here. You can disagree or agree with me and comment below. As of now I only have one viewer so I don’t expect that much activity for now. Once I inform people of my blog, hopefully more comments will be posted. I plan on taking this test down the road and it will be fun to compare my result.
