Critique of Rick Perry vs. The World Blog

Rick Perry vs. The World is a Texas Politics blog created in December 2004. The purpose of this Blog  was for people to come and read what was going on in the Debate with Rick Perry and who would challenge him. The author of the Blog has decided to keep private because he doesn't want employers to see the Blog when they Google his name, but you can tell he has a passion for his writing and as he states you can figure out who really cares.  The Blog tracks the Gubernatorial race, and other Texas Politics, his aim is to simply record the events that are happening around and in our Texas. I fell like he is trying to reach towards Republicans, he speaks about a variety of different topics, topics that people want to read, since it is relevant to what is trending. His argument in the past months have been over the presidential debates, focusing primarily on if Cruz supports Trump. I like his points of attack and how he usually backs up what he is talking about. His last post was in September 2016, his aim at recording the events that were unfolding were truly successful, he reached the audience he was aiming for, this posts were thoughtful, with evidence to back up the topic he was pointing out. And I completely agree with his last post that where he speaks that Deace is fierce fully defending Cruz, where Deace states that if people would be able to go back and do the GOP all over again, would we vote for the same people we voted for knowing what we know now? NOPE! #NeverTrump

Critique of Making the Case Against Banishing Sex Offenders

On Thursday, October 6, 2016 Maurice Chammah  posted the article "Making the Case Against Banishing Sex Offenders" on the Texas Observer. He addresses how Mary Sue Molnar estimates that she receives about five calls a week from Texan sex offenders who can not find a place to live. Since numerous towns around the state of Texas have passed an ordinance prohibiting registered sex offenders to be in certain distance (anywhere from 500 to 3,500 feet) from a school, daycare, park facility or playground. They are in a crisis since in most towns there is a school, daycare, park facility or playground everywhere! Molnar who runs the sex-offender-rights group Texas Voices for reason and Justice, created a small army of parents and siblings of sex offenders to try and ban these ordinances, since she expresses how most sex offenders have had to "stay in extended stay motels" or go homeless, providing the example of "Taylor Rice who as a 20 year old had sex with a 14 year old he met online and now after his conviction for sexual assault, was legally barred from living with his parents because their house was too close to a baseball field." Over the last years "Molnar and her counterparts in other states have come to the same conclusion: Politicians aren't going to help them. "Who wants to risk being called a pedophile-lover?"

The article summarized above, was I feel a piece in providing information to Texans of how sex offenders feel in our state and to maybe try and help them out by partnering with Molnar since most of them do not have a place to live in, considering that the law they have to follow prohibits them to be close to and or work in a certain distance of children. Chammah the author for this article created excellent information over this issue, with enough evidence from both his main source of information Mary Sue Molnar and her counterparts. He made it clear for the reader to know that legislators and politicians are not willing to twist their arms over what Molnar is trying to do for sex offenders, and in my opinion I would also have to disagree with Molnar in trying to ban the ordinances toward sex offenders. Although the case she brought up of Taylor Rice is very unfortunate since he is still young and mistakes happen, there are worst cases out there of pedophiles and to allow them to be next to our children would be like giving them a free ticket to do whatever they wish to do. This is still an ongoing case and you are able to read more of it on Texas Observer.
