Obama's policies and ideals

I accept your challenge and look forward to this debate. Where as we established no rules as what the rounds shall be for, I will only offer my case on the first round and save rebuttals for later. I would like to start by saying, I am not entirely in favor of Obama in fact in most ways I disagree with him. I will however play devils advocate in this debate and promote his policies, the ideology behind it(as worded in title), and how they have helped or ideologically could help our society. I will now establish my points. I would use more but I would run out of space so I will focus on 4 main points. I will ignore how these could actually effect us and merely show the ideology behind it, since per the title I am allowed. Let us define ideology. Also let me define the word IdeologyDefinition of Ideolgy1: visionary theorizing(1) Redistribution, (2) Obamacare and healthcare(slang word for reform), (3) Energy policy,(4) Immigration policy(1) Redistribution of wealth at its core, is the framework of socialism. While I openly acknowledge that this can not work in America, the ideals and hopes behind it are something that we can admire. Just from the title of this point we can see what it entails. It adopts this Robin-hood ideal of take from the rich and give to the more, but it does it in more of a modern day sense. This is accomplished by raising taxes on the rich, and lessening taxes on the poor. While this not may be practical or work in America, I think the ideology behind this is irrefutable. If we are looking at this from a perspective of hope and how it could work, it seems like the moral act to do. It helps the poor and is a way to get rid of poverty. As long as we ignore the practicality of it, it makes logical sense and appeals to our sense of morality. This could even stretch as far as raising minimum wage. People who work for hardly nothing and may not have the money to attend school have a shot at making a little more money. http://www.quick-facts.co.uk...(2)This is Universal healthcare and reform. Again I am going to ignore how this will affect us as a nation and argue ideology. Just a few thoughts on why this a moral ideology behind it. The main point is that it helps support and give care to people whom may not have been able to attain it previously. Companies can no longer turn down people with preexisting medical conditions. This goes as far as any type of terminal illness such as Leukemia. Prior to this companies could simply refuse coverage because it could be a possible loss of profit, and individuals were actually dying because they could not get coverage. It also allows kids to stay on their parents insurance longer. https://www.healthcare.gov...https://www.healthcare.gov...(3)His energy policy speaks for itself. Partially the reason the key stone pipeline has not been approved. It is a way to cut down on global warming, and provide clean energy. The basis behind this is that at some point either when prices in oil get to far out of hand, or we drain our resources and topple most of the oil, we need a viable alternative source on energy. He went with clean energy. This could extend to solar energy and electrical forms of gars that do not produce fumes. Since we all know or at least most know that global warming is a fact and major issue, this would help keep the planet safe. http://www.cleanenergyministerial.org...http://www.whitehouse.gov...(4)I could debate this from a practical or ideological but I will stay with ideology since that has been the foundation of my points. This entire policy makes it easier for immigrants to attain citizenship legally, and makes the process smoother. One of the central reasons behind this line of thought, is that we can not stop illegal immigration. They are using our government and attaining an education, and then taking that education back to their home country because they can not get citizenship. It states we should make citizenship easier for them to attain, so that they can help stimulate our economy instead of abusing the system and leaving. There is way more to it than this but since I am running out of room, I will just tackle pros rebuttals. This also helps children who were born over here because of illegal parents keep their citizenship. This is just morally ethical, unless you love the bible so much that you believe the sins of the father be passed to his children. We have children being born in this country by illegal parents, and could not call them citizen. The very children that have only knew this country as their home. They were born here, raised here, worked here, and went to school here. This is all they know and this is their country. This to me is moral ideology at its core. http://www.immigrationpolicy.org...I have established 4 main points and shown how Obama policies are ideologically sound and look forward to hearing my adversaries response.
