Bernie Sander Speech

Improved Essays
Bernie Sanders supporters were shocked yesterday when Jesus Christ appeared on the O’reilly Factor to put an end to any comparisons between himself and the democratic candidate. “I like Bernie, but people have this misconception of me as a socialist” Jesus told O’Reilly , “and that couldn’t be farther from the truth” Indeed, Jesus - who sometimes puts out mixtapes under the nickname Me$$iah Money - points to all of the merchandise bearing his likeness as proof that he supports capitalism.
“Everytime someone buys a cross or a WWJD bracelet, I get a cut” said Jesus, “Anytime you slap one of those Jesus fish bumper stickers on your car you’re making me rich.The almighty father ain’t got nothin’ on the almighty dollar!”
Jesus was also quick to dispel the notion that he was big on charity “People send me prayers asking me to cure their Grandmother’s cancer or feed their starving children all the time” said Christ, “ and I’m always like ‘What do I look like Hershel the Handout Heeb? Get a job and buy your own daddamn cancer meds and food!’ l mean, I’m sorry but haven’t these people ever heard that God helps those who help themselves?”

    I ask my myself the same exact thing “ what would Jesus actually do?”. In this chapter, Jay Richards acknowledges the ” Piety Myth”, As a Christian I believe, I need to care for and help the poor. Etienne said: “Piety is no substitute for technique.” In the Piety Myth, we mistakenly focus on our good intentions rather than on the real and often unintended consequences of an act or policy. Richard introduces that we must practice “prudence”, good judgment, to recognize that actions have” unintended consequences” in order to be economically wise.…

    Bernie Sander's political ad fits the Aristotle's model of rhetoric and all three constituents are present. He used logic to explain why affordable education is vital for the betterment of our country. The problem(exigence) is the lack of affordable education for the poor who don't have the opportunity to attend college. Sanders used Aristotles artistic proof in order to talk about the issue and persuade the audience. The audience will be the one to help change by voting for Bernie Sanders so that free public colleges and universities can become a possibility.…

    In Glenn Loury’s speech, “Is He One of Us? Reflections on Identity and Authenticity” (pp. 489-493), he delivers the 245th Opening Convocation to the students of Brown University. Loury addresses diversity, what role it plays, and the advantages it can bring to people’s lives. His supporting statements are puzzling and his justification falls short of being a well thought-out speech, as one might expect at an Opening Convocation. As his speech progresses, his direction becomes unclear with each new point he brings up.…

    No one likes to be berated and lectured, or to be wrong or disrespected. When Bernie Sanders was preparing the speech he would eventually be giving to Liberty University, he had to have a clear understanding of the opinions and attitudes of his immediate audience, and knew that if he came across as doing any of these things, he would lose what small chance he had at gaining any support from them. It was because of this knowledge that Bernie Sanders decided that the best way to approach giving this speech would not be with a harsh argument intended to persuade his audience into seeing big social issues his way, he knew that they were beyond that in their Christian beliefs and their understanding of morals, and so he went with a different approach.…

    Cesar Chavez's Speech

    Martin Luther King, Jr. once said that “Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” In Cesar Chavez’s speech, he had the daunting task of simultaneously writing a eulogy in remembrance and love of Dr. King’s immensely influential life, and the job of delivering their shared message of promoting nonviolent action to oppose discrimination. Both Dr. King and Chavez had spent their lives fighting racial inequality, and both brought about major changes for Americans (and the world) due to their efforts. Throughout Chavez’s thought provoking speech, he attempts to persuade Americans that nonviolence is the only real way to solve our problems, through emotional and powerful language. Chavez is able to accomplish this through the repeated use of assertions, a specific point of view and his diction.…

There are people in your life who benefit you and others who just distract you from your mission to success. Every single day we are pushing our wagon uphill and we should only allow those on our wagons who benefit us and help us up the hill. I’m the one holding the rope and the people who I let are the ones that help me up the hill but not taking control of my rope.…

    Presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump spoke to a group of conservative activist Friday afternoon, giving a preview of his upcoming speech on Monday by going after Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton, as well as emphasizing the importance of social conservative values. "For the first time ever, the President of the United States endorsed somebody under criminal investigation," Trump told the crowd gathered at the Road To Majority conference hosted by the Faith & Freedom Coalition in Washington, D.C. " Hillary Clinton has jeopardized -- totally jeopardized national security by putting her emails on a private server all to hide her corrupt dealings." Introduced by Ralph Reed, founder and chairman of the Faith and Freedom Coalition, spoke highly of the GOP presumptive nominee, calling him a "good friend" and a person that social conservatives should unite behind, no matter of his imperfections.

    I am writing to you today to talk about the political Tea Party movement, a grassroots organization whose members are known to be highly conservative and strongly Republican. It is my understanding that you are less than fond of this group of people. Thus, the goal herein is to expound on the reasons behind the mentality and character of the Tea Party, and to assist you in understanding (and perhaps even scaling) emotional obstacles known as empathy walls. Most Tea Party members are white, Christian, lower-middle class Southerners over forty-five years old.…
