Republicans believe the U.S is headed for another Cold War

I have recently come across an editorial in The Washington Post written by Eugene Robinson , an opinion writer for The Post Partisan blog. In the post he describes that the Russian's seizure of the Crimean peninsula from neighboring Ukraine has lead to Republican's belief that this will lead to another Cold War. I don't find it surprising that the republican party is in opposition of President Obama's views. This seems to always be the case ever since Democratic President Obama started running for office! I did however find it interesting that in the editorial by Robinson, he mentions that Romney had said to President Obama that " Russia is the number-one geopolitical foe." This statement has been the reason why the republicans are now pointing the finger at President Obama and accusing him. By republicans I am referring to Senator McCain and Senator Ted Cruz , who both seem to be equally opinionated about the whole issue. I think that President Obama is doing a great job in maneuvering through this whole crisis. As Robinson states in his blog, President Obama has been "steady, firm and realistic". I think sometimes the Republicans need to step back and start viewing certain situations in an objective view, without placing their personal conceptions. Although this crisis is serious I do not think either side wants another cold war.

Blog Stage 4

On March 4, 2014 Media Matters for America posted an editorial blog titled " Bad Apple": Fox News Attacks business sustainability efforts by Shauna Theel (Climate and Energy Control Director of Media Matters). In the blog, Shauna argues that Fox Businesses attack on Apple, stating that they are using  "politics over profit" regarding Green Energy, is invalid. Shauna Theel's undertone in her editorial states that Apple has remained sustainable regarding a return on investments ( ROI). I would argue that this is true. Theel uses explainable logos in proving that energy investments are profitable. She writes that "A recent report by the investor group Ceres found that clean energy investments must reach $1 trillion a year (a "Clean Trillion") in order to have an 80 percent chance of avoiding global warming of more than two degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) -- a measure deemed necessary by international governments at the Copenhagen climate conference to avoid the most catastrophic impacts of climate change. However, without greater commitments to addressing climate change, we face the potential of 4 degrees Celsius (7.2 degrees Fahrenheit) warming, which would severely disrupt global supply chains including food stocks. That is one reason why companies such as Apple are recognizing the risks climate change poses to their businesses and turning toward cleaner sources of energy." This is the logos she uses to prove why Apple's decision to use energy investments is sustainable. I agree with this editorial because Shauna Theel is credible and she is soild facts in order to prove her argument.
