March 3rd prayer

Thesis: that the responsible citizen should oppose school prayer
Premises:To permit school prayer is virtually the same as endorsing religion and It divides people by emphasizing their differences rather than their similarities

I think that the arguement is valid because I believe both of the premises are true. Especially that it divides people because of its example about Ireland. Since it is valid then that means this arguement is sound.

Wisconsin

I feel that governor Walkers point of view is a little off. It seems as if he is doing what is right for the republicans not necessarily his people. Giving out pink slips to workers is not going to help the problem. It will only make it worse and put him in greater debt. The workers want to keep their unions and their jobs. The protests are really helping their side of the dispute.  I thought that it was interesting that the police were also for the people. Usually when I see protest on the television, it’s always very violent. However, in this protest the people were very respectful and actually did chants that said “thank you” to the policemen.

            In the Rachel Maddow show, I agreed with what she said but you could tell she was very liberal. She was totally against the Governor and everything he would say she would go against it.  Such when he said that the protests were going away, she would prove him wrong. She also interviews a senator that talks bad about the Governor saying that he is lying. Glen Beck talks about how Obama is the Anti-Christ. He talks about how the protestors are causes chaos which will lead to the end of the world. He does not even talk about what is actually going on about the unions and their budgets. This is really odd because he does not even give the details of what is happening to the people in the Wisconsin.

            I have to say Democracy Now was my favorite to listen to just because it was not bias. I finally could just get the facts and form my own opinion about the matter.

Rachel Maddow

Thesis: Governor Walker is only taking his actions because he is in debt, and he is a republican.

Evidence and Reasons: The senator said the Governor Walker was lying about his debt and it was on a liberal show.

Conclusion: Even though they have better facts than the conservatives, they still are biased and skewed to just what they believe in.

Glen Beck

Thesis: The protestors are causing the end of the world because of their chaos and they are mainly democrats.

Evidence and Reasons: He brings in a man that talks about how the world is suppose to end in the Christians world.

Conclusion: He basically thinks that the protestors are the anti- Christ.

Protestors

Thesis: Governor Walker is against us because we are supposedly taking too much money.

Evidence and reasons: He wants to take away are jobs if we don’t stop protesting

Conclusion: They are not going to stop protesting because of the Governor.

Governor Walker

Thesis: I need to pass this bill to get rid of labor unions and get my money back.

Evidence and Reasons: He needs to pay his own debt so he needs more money but if they unions are taking it away he can’t pay it back.

Conclusion: He will do anything to make sure that he gets his money.

The only people that I think are valid in this argument are the protestors. If he governor takes away their jobs they will have no way to support their families. I think that is a pretty good reason to protest along with their wages. I did not really like any of the bias arguments, I liked democracy now!
