Do Your Homework




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!”



It seems as though much of America is clueless or simply apathetic regarding elections, in general.



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.
