Even after waiting, they may be rejected for discrepancies found in their homes, such as clothes not suiting for a single mother or a child at school when you are asking for food stamps for him. An example that Taibbi discussed was a couple working at a fast food restaurant that was expecting a child.

  • Analysis Of White House Red Scare By Maureen Dowd

    421 Words  | 2 Pages

    Précis Response In the article "White House Red Scare" (7 January 2017), columnist Maureen Dowd affirms her current political opinion that the United States government is overridden with anxiety and bewilderment due to the callous and perhaps "malleable" newly elected president, Donald Trump. Dowd justifies her stance of the cumbersome issue by the use of anecdotes (her own personal encounters with Donald Trump), past incidences of Trump's rapid stance-changes (being skeptical of the Russian leader Gorbachev, until Gorbachev's imposter glorified Trump Tower), as well as quotes from the reactions of various senators and congressional members. In order to persuade with this opinionated standpoint, Maureen uses an enthymeme--the election's

    Aziz Ansari said “...change doesn't come from presidents. Change comes from large groups of angry people” however I think he is wrong, but he is also right. To create change we need both. Presidents, a lot of the time do what the people want, especially if they're angry, however, they don't have to. The large groups of angry people can't change the law, but the president can.

  • Review Of Fear And Loathing On The Campaign Trail By Thompson

    673 Words  | 3 Pages

    Thompson’s exuberant drug use is another factor that marks the gonzo journalist as a liberal-minded person. Thompson didn’t only take an excessive amount of drugs to document his findings in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, but he also was an avid user of drugs and alcohol in everyday life. He never openly promoted drug use but when asked about drug use he said, “I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they’ve always worked for me.” It is safe to assume that most conservative thinkers do not condone drug use like Thompson did. Thompson held a perceptive open-mindedness for life’s pleasures, one that most conservative thinkers do not posses.

  • Rush Limbaugh: Ruining American Culture

    Rush Limbaugh discusses multiculturalism and its possible failings to America culture. Limbaugh believes teaching minorities about their roots hinder their “future as Americans.” He continues to say “If you want to prosper in America, if you want access to opportunity in America, you must be able to assimilate: to become part of the American culture.” This statement, personally, implies other cultures cannot have the same work ethic and values as “regular” Americans, which is a presumptuous statement to make. To a certain point, yes, incoming immigrants and generational immigrants do have to adapt to the American culture, but their roots do not discount their ability to succeed in American society.

  • William Domhoff's Who Rules America

    1109 Words  | 5 Pages

    William Domhoff’s investigation into America’s ruling class is an eye-opening and poignant reading experience, even for individuals enlightened on the intricacies of the US social class system. His book, Who Rules America, explains the fundamental failures in America’s governing bodies to provide adequate resources for class mobility and shared power amongst classes. He identifies history, corporate and social hierarchies, money-driven politics, a two-party system, and a policy-making process orchestrated by American elites as several causes leading to an ultimate effect of class-domination theory pervading American society. In articulating his thesis and supporting assertions, Domhoff appeals rhetorically toward an audience with prior knowledge
