Check the facts BEFORE you follow these lines

As I grow closer to 70, I have begun to see things in a different light. My life, relationships I have had, the world picture at present and our cultural trends. Lately, I do not like what I see. The upcoming presidential election is extremely scary. I really do not care for either candidate, but sometimes we are forced to choose the lesser of two evils, and I have chosen Hillary. You may not disagree with me for that, but it is my citizen right to choose who I wish. I do not like her, I did like her husband, but I cannot stand Donald Trump and what he is doing to our country. He has unleashed an anger in people who have held it in for a long time. And some of that anger is unwarranted. They want change and they THINK he will bring it. This anger that will rip this country apart and maybe put the world into another World War. His dislike for minorities, the handicap and other countries smacks of the person in Germany during the 30s and 40s called Hitler. He makes fun of disabled folks, he mocks Hispanic American judges, and he wants to deport all Mexicans and Muslims. What is next, sending Jews to gas chambers? Trump blames Obama for letting them all in this country. Did he not read what it says at the base of the Statue of Liberty? “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.” We are a country made of immigrates, a melting pot of many countries. We are ALL from somewhere else. And I do not mean Cleveland or Iowa. This country was settled on a search for freedom of individual rights and freedom of religion without considering the persons color, creed, sex or religious beliefs. I really do not care which party you may represent, you must see the light. It is not about the party, it is about what is right for the people, and not egos or party lines. The words were written, “FOR THE PEOPLE AND BY THE PEOPLE”. People say Hillary is a liar. Yeah, she probably is, and so are most politicians. But Trump is more than a liar. He is a bigot, a thief and a very bad business man. All of his millions were made by his father, not him. He just rents his dad’s name to the properties. What did Hillary do? Use an unsecured email source? Maybe she caused some people to get killed? How many soldiers were killed in Iran, Iraq and Afghanistan because, the president at the time, THOUGHT there was Weapons of Mass Destruction there? And what did they find? NOTHING!!! Wake up! Or was it a vendetta to complete the job his father president did not finish. The hate in the Middle East is because we have bullied our way through the Middle East as the self-proclaimed police. The terrorist did not crash into the World Trade Center because they wanted to take over the US. They did it because we came into their countries for no cause. We THINK they are a threat. Do you kill a bee because you THINK it may sting you? No. And Trump wants to make it worse by pissing off more people. Presidents can only do what the Congress and Senate allow them to do. If you REALLY care, limit terms on politicians and get rid of the rotten ones. Make them work for you. Cut the amount corporations can contribute and limit the monies campaigns have to promote their candidate. Millions and millions are spent campaigning for candidates, and much of that is contributed by really bias special interest entities and fake fronts. Quit blaming Obama for everything. He did get us into a recession; he got us out of it. He is the guy who got the Bin Laden killed for attacking the USA on 9-11. The Bush presidents got us into this mess with terrorists, not the Clintons and Obama. If anything, they have made things better for the middle class. I am not making this up, check the facts. We all must vote according to our beliefs. That is your citizen given right. All I ask is you to check the facts, do your homework; don’t vote for a candidate because your Dad or Mother voted only for the donkey or elephant. And don’t vote for someone who says they will build a wall or won’t liar. Look deeper than that. Check the facts. This election may change the world as we know it.
