It won’t be long now before we
return to the polls to vote for the person to lead our country for the next
four years.
Of course there are some readers
who are now shouting at their electronic devices about how Saint Hillary
Clinton was deprived of her rightful place in history by the Electoral College
in 2016.
In fact, she wasn’t. All she needed to do was ask her racially
divisive buddy, Barack Hussein Obama. He bragged about being a Constitutional
attorney who taught Constitutional Law classes at the University of Chicago Law
School, so I’m sure he is very good at, well, Constitutional law.
If that were the case he could
have helped Saint Hillary understand the purpose, and role, the Electoral
College rightfully played in the 2016 election decision. Alas, he didn’t.
And we, as a nation, have been
saddled with countless whining tours and bad-mouthing sessions, interspersed
with book tours, directed at President Donald J. Trump and the people who voted
for him.
Speaking of which, it’s just
about time when the political charlatans running for office and Leftist
rabble-rousers begin crawling out from under their rocks for their annual pre-election
campaign to “Get out the vote!”
But it’s the federal elections
that generate the most hubbubs.
Organizations spring up like mushrooms in a damp forest encouraging the
clueless among us to “just get out and vote!”
They tell the weak-minded to
exercise their right to vote because it’s important.
Unfortunately, they stop short of
explaining the part of voting in which potential voters educate themselves on
candidates and the issues at hand.
Too often we hear from the
slanted media that someone is a racist, bigot, homophobe, hater, or
stupid. And those buzz words are
supposed provide enough background to fabricate an informed decision about the
person you want to lead the nation for four years.
As an aside, people hopefully select social dates more carefully than
they choose their elected officials.
However, the people of America have
evolved from a caring, united populace into a largely selfish, gimme-mine mob
who put their own feelings and wants ahead of the nation’s needs.
It must be borne in mind that not
only are the people selfish about the greed they desire, but the politicians
are guilty, too.
They get votes to “do the will of
the people.” Whether it’s from a poor
memory or some insidious disease upon taking the oath-of-office, they
immediately forget what they said on the campaign trail.
Suddenly they find religion and
vote contrary to the will of the people because the people are too stupid to
know what they want.
And so it goes for the remainder
of their terms with constituents writing and calling the elected official’s
offices, to no avail.
Arrogantly, that “just vote!”
message was simply a ruse to get these weasels into positions of power, only to
be disappointed by their governing – business as usual.
So rather than just getting out
and voting for the person with the broadest smile, cleanest haircut, longest
term as bridesmaid, least accomplished as a Constitutional law professor, best
fake Southern accent, accomplished time as a military pilot, most idle tenure
spent in the U.S. Senate, or the sole homosexual in the race, do some homework
about all the candidates.
You may discover they, too, are
racist, bigot, homophobe, hater, or stupid.
It’s just that the media won’t say so BEFORE the election.
