TexasFred

After reading Fred Witzell's blog post, "Rep. Pete Sessions and TexasFred Visit regarding the Obama Shutdown", my eyes were opened to the clear hatred this man had for Obamacare and Democrats. It was never something I really noticed before. I always knew the 'beef' between Democrats and Republicans but I always thought it was purely innocent, like they only had this 'beef' because of the difference in their opinions and literally being on the opposite sides of issues. Fred is clearly a strong conversative, and he states his issues with the democratic party very strongly and harshly. There was one statement in particular that really stood out to me, he quoted Representative Sessions, and said "We are now in the middle of a WAR for the heart and soul of this nation.” and also "Obama and the Dems want to HURT us, the American people." I obviously disagree with this man. If anyone wants to hurt the American people it's Republicans because they are so anti affordable health care apparently, and are so worried about saving their millions of dollars when we have people struggling throughout their lives to live here. If anything, separating people by social class and how much many they make and whether or not they have health insurance, does not bring a nation together. If anything Democrats, and the Obama administration are trying to include every kind of person in the benefits of the country. But although I believe Fred is very wrong, he has credible sources (a Texas Representative himself), he sounds very educated (although bias and ethnocentric) about his arguements and has data and facts to back up his opinions. His claim, evidence, and logic is clear. He backs up his claim (Obamacare is a bad idea) with his evidence, (negative effects of the government shut down, talking about the $80 billion dollar debt, the lack of resources for military families) and logic (anti-Obama because of the evidence). So therefore, his blog post in my eyes is very well written, detailed, organized and he backs up his statements with facts and answers from someone credible, therefore Fred is credible.
