Hi friends!
I have decided to put some new stuff on my blog.
I don't do well with basic journaling, even though I keep saying i will get better.
So...........I am posting about stuff that I want to make sure I put out there for all to know about myself and my beliefs.
I have been watching the campaigns of the various candidates for president this year. I have heard things come out of some of their mouths and the mouths of those they trust and are supported by, that have made me cringe!
Some of the sources of the things heard are Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Michelle Obama, Barach Obama, Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, Chelsie Clinton. I am sure there are things said by others that I am not thinking of, but for the purposes of this rant these will do.
When I hear these things that "make me cringe" it is because of the negative and fear mongering spirit that is prevalent in all of them. The speeches given that seem to say " Hey dummy you can't take care of yourself, so give me all your money and I will show you how to do it" are both insulting and scary. The idea that as an American people we don't and can't survive or prosper without one of these presidential hopefuls remaking America is ridiculous.
Yes, America isn't perfect and it has it's problems. However, this does not mean that someone needs to come in an remake or redo our constitution or what we believe as a nation!
The constitution is still the most liberating, just and detailed document that supports and outlines the rights of all people.
America is still the nation that scans the globe for injustice and works to make it better. The nation that other countries' people look to for aid and inspiration for their own rights and freedoms. That has an unending flow of immigration, legal and illegal, to obtain the rights and freedoms we have!
No matter what differences we have politically, religiously, racially, financially, etc. We all are Americans that benefit from the nation that we live in. No one should allow a politician or anyone else to tell them that American is broken and needs to be thrown away!
When you watch this electoral race and make decisions on who to vote for, remember that no matter what they promise, they should commit to uphold the constitution, pledge allegiance to our country and it's people, support and protect our current rights and freedoms, protect our country physically and economically and have a positive outlook on the future of America and its people... WHOM YOU ARE TRYING TO GET ELECTED TO LEAD AND SERVE!
I am a daughter of God, a wife and mother, a Christian, a woman and an AMERICAN! I want our country's way of life upheld, supported and CONTINUED! I also want lower taxes for all and the same percentage rate tax for all. I want a armed forces that protects us. I want decent educational system, where kids can learn. Higher education that gets better as you pay more. I want healthcare that gets better when I choose to pay more for it. I want to have an idea or skill that I can use (by the freedoms we have) to create wealth if I work hard and do it. I want a "democracy, free market, american dream-access" type of America. So.....
If you are running for president and don't want these things or want to "change" these things, then you do not understand what you have had access to in this country and do not need to be in charge of it.
GOD BLESS AMERICA AND KEEP IT SAFE FROM THOSE WHO DO NOT UNDERSTAND OR APPRECIATE IT!
If you agree with this or have a question, feel free to post and i will respond. God bless,
