Election Day 2004, + Tiesto in Concert II

Bush poster I got at school from a classmate who went to a rally last night

So. Election Day, 2004.

I do not like Kerry. To me, Kerry is one who promises things just to win votes for the power. He is a waffle– in other words, a flip-flopper. He voted for the war in Iraq. Now it’s election time, and he says he’s against it, criticizing it. Well, we can’t pull out now. Pull out now and we’ll have more chaos. It wasn’t even Bush’s “fault” for initiating the war; he acted on flawed intelligence. He did not make up in his mind the reasons he acted on to go to war in Iraq. And no, Bush did not start a war with Iraq; he started a war with a few Iraqi people in control of Iraq, not the people.

Okay, also, Kerry does not mean what he says. We have him, a flip-flopping waffle, also saying that he is Catholic. My name is Stephen, and I am a Catholic. Kerry supports abortion. Oh wait, he says he doesn’t support abortion, but he wants it to be legal. He says religion and politics should not interfere with each other.

However, there is no excuse in the case of abortion since if one is pro-life and Catholic, he must believe that from conception, babies have souls, which means that aborting the baby can be classified as a murder (from the point of view of a pro-life person) since all babies have souls, correct? Well, if Kerry is Catholic, and therefore if he is pro-life, how could he stand to not outlaw what he must believe as murder? Well, I’m Catholic. I don’t know about you, Mr. Kerry, but I don’t support what we both classify as murder.

Oh, and Kerry is liberal. More taxes and government unprivatizing things? No!

I don’t care if you vote for Bush or someone else, but don’t vote for Kerry.


Tiesto in Concert II, Day 1

More pictures here and here

Election Day rant over! No more of talking about this for a while (I think). LET’S TALK ABOUT TIESTO IN CONCERT II. Well, I watched a video stream of Tiesto in Concert II on both days, Friday and Saturday (of last week). Day two (Saturday’s Tiesto in Concert II) was brilliant. It was amazing! He played Re:Locate - Typhoon on that day, and played the classics in the last/extra/request hour that took place because of daylight savings time!

The MC said, “We were gonna wish you good night, God bless, and have a safe trip home… But the clocks went back.” This was followed by a huge applause from the audience filling the sold-out Gelredome in Arnhem in the Netherlands.

Here’s what was dropped in the last set.

Special Request Hour 67. Push - Universal Nation/ The Anthem 68. Gouryella - Gouryella 69. Paul Oakenfold - Southern Sun (Tiesto Remix) 70. Kamaya Painters - Endless Wave 71. Yahel & Eyal Barkan - Voyage 72. BT - Mercury & Solace (Original 12″ Master Mix) 73. Veracocha - Carte Blanche (Original Mix) 74. Delerium - Silence (DJ Tiesto’s In Search of Sunrise Remix)

The tracklist is amazing. I like all the tracks in it. The mixing was not top-notch but the tracklist was certainly amazing. Not only were the songs good, but playing old trance classics and anthems in a modern venue brought nostalgia to both those present and those watching the video feed and was simply a great phenomenon. There was no progressive trance or modern uplifting trance in the last hour. There were old anthems and epic tracks!

I go to dinner now.

  5. Ahem. “if Kerry is Catholic, and therefore if he is pro-life, how could he stand to not outlaw what he must believe as murder?” “He says religion and politics should not interfere with each other.”

    I think you answered your own question. Just because you (in general, not you, stephen) are pro-life and consider it murder, doesn’t mean everyone else in the country does. You can’t force your religious views on other people. It’s not only wrong, it’s unconstitutional.

    FYI: “Soul” isn’t a good term to use when discussing legality. The debate is on whether the child/fetus/etc is alive, in which I believe it is (obviously. For instance, siamese twins aren’t considered one person. A mother and an unborn baby have two minds and two systems.)

    So, I’m quasi-against abortion. I’ll lump myself into the extreme-circumstance category (rape,etc)

    More FYI: Being Catholic doesn’t automatically mean you’re pro-life. In fact, the majority of Catholics in the US think that the pope is not infallible (or is fallible)

    Comment by Dan, definitely yeah.

  6. My point is I don’t care that he says it’s “separation of church and state” because it’s impossible in this case. Think about it. If you truly believe this thing to be murder, then you can only outlaw the murder. If you believe it not to be murder, then you outlaw it. Otherwise, you do. It doesn’t matter whether it’s religiously influenced or not in this issue. And this is the United States. If people think you’re crazy to go so far as to outlaw (as a president) what you believe as murder, then you would be thrown out. The majority wins.
