California just made a huge positive step in Healthcare

Governor Jerry Brown made California the fourth state in the US on Monday to allow physician assisted dying. Yes, only the fourth, and it's disappointing that the numbers (or the lack of) overshadow the real achievement. Everyone has the right to live, and everyone should have the right to die. Of course life is sacred, but the opponents of this law must not seriously think that California's true intentions are to have a genocide. They simply just want to help those people who have no hope of a cure, and are suffering. That's it, there is no story here, Everyone is allowed to make their decisions about their life and body. If you can go and get an abortion from a professional, you should also be able to go to your doctor to die. They are there to help you and to lessen your pain. In any way possible. Of course we support that background checks must take place, and several doctors (including psychologists) should sign off before you are allowed to die. You sho...

HISTORY

On June 7th, 2016, Hillary Rodham Clinton became the presumptive nominee of the Democratic Party for the 2016 United States Presidential Election. In the primary process, we supported Senator Bernie Sanders over her, due to his energizing presence and progressive ideas. We believed in his political revolution, but it is now over as it relates to the Presidential campaign. Bernie will still compete in Washington D.C. next week, but most importantly the movement he started will always continue. We will always support his ideals, because we really do need a world that is ran by Bernie's system. The revolution shall continue! For now though, we full-heartedly endorse Hillary Clinton to be the next President of the United States. We need someone who will stand up to ISIS and other global challengers, and someone who will fight for equality and prosperity back at home in America, and throughout the world. She is not perfect. She has a questionable (at best) financial connection...

Cruz on Top

The First Republican Debate of the Year happened last night. It was all about Trump vs. Cruz, Rubio vs. Cruz and Cruz vs. everyone. Ted Cruz was the ultimate winner though. Cruz spoke the most and was the most talked about as well, together with Trump. Earlier this week Trump narrowly retook Iowa from Cruz, but now it really will be a 50/50 race in the first voting state. They used to be on pretty good terms, but as Iowa votes in just over two weeks time, on February 1st, gloves are off and it is all about blood now. Trump and Cruz had several big battles last night. Trump again attacked Cruz on him being born in Canada. It probably doesn't really matter, cause he does seem to be qualified, but some Cruz voters might stay away from him, and in a close race like this, that could decide everything. And by everything we don't only mean Iowa. If Trump wins in Iowa, and then in New Hampshire too, he could have enough of a momentum to go all the way. Yeah, it is scary. So someon...

Hillary: It's time to panic

Not everyone will agree, but it may be time for Hillary to finally seriously panic about this race. Months have passed since her email scandal began, and since the rise of Bernie Sanders, and she is still not handling it that well. And the future doesn't look all that great either. Hillary has got to stop the tide. And she is trying. She is giving more interviews and she is out there more, b ut Bernie is still the one that has the momentum. Some would argue that even Joe Biden has more momentum than Hillary's campaign. Hillary's campaign doesn't seem to be focused, it's like they are in denial. Let's look at polling closer. Hillary Clinton is losing to Jeb Bush in Michigan. In Michigan. If a Democrat can't take Michigan, there are some real problems here. Moreover, she is only barely beating Trump there. Hillary has clearly slipped in the polls. On a national scale too, she has got some major problems. In the latest poll, she got 33% of the vot...

Bernie for President!

Well there you go! We support Bernie Sanders to be the Democratic candidate in 2016! It's no surprise to anyone that Finchley 1959 is a conservative Republican blogging site at it's heart, but we still try to be objective and to be deeply involved with the Democrats too! Now, before praising Bernie for his successes, let's talk about Hillary. We like Hillary, and would love to support her bid, because she would be the first female President. But voters can't go down that path again. Obama's path. It is clear that Obama got elected in 2008 mostly due to the fact that he would have been the first African-American President. It's true. Senator McCain clearly had better policies and ideas, but Obama had the color advantage and was a better public speaker. Hillary is likeable, but she would get elected because she would be the first female to do! And we wouldn't have a problem with the first female President; Margaret Thatcher is our idol. We get it. B...
