The Democrats Real Plan

Branding, front face, media exposure, popularity, well known, recognizable, are all part of a good media campaign. Is that why Hillary Clinton is the DNC party nomination for United States President?

Under normal circumstances, a person with a lot of bad publicity, and I mean a lot as with Hillary Clinton, this would not be an idea person to be the front face of a campaign. So why did the DNC really make her their nomination? Is it because she is a woman and that will bring in votes? Is it her history in politics (which is not the best according to both Dems and Reps)?

The candidate.

Hillary Clinton has the branding, well known, easily recognizable both by name and by picture, has had a lot of media exposure (good and bad) for over a decade. These reasons alone make her a good choice. Plus she has political experience, good and bad, but she has the experience at some of the highest levels of government offices. Again, these add up to a good reason for her to be a candidate.

Sell the candidate to the voters.  Get the public/voters behind the candidate, rile them up, pump them up, get them to the point the candidate can do no wrong.  Then, because of health issues the candidate, Hillary Clinton, has to back out at the last minute.  The ideal and best democrat for the position of president is…. Mr. Kaine but because he is virtually unheard of through most of the United States, on his own, he would not stand a chance to win a DNC nomination for president. But if Hillary was to back out, the DNC has the option/responsibility to choose her replacement.

Mr. Kaine has already been endorsed as Hillary’s running mate, a good reason to pick him.  Now add an endorsement by Hillary herself, all of her voters would gladly follow her lead and vote for Mr. Kaine.

Wait…

It’s to late, it’s to close to voting time because in some states absentee ballots are already mailed, in other cases ballots are already printed and about to be mailed. Now what? It’s to late to put Mr. Kaine’s name on the ballots and remove Mrs. Clinton’s. Electoral votes. That’s right, the voters themselves would not be able to vote because Mrs. Clinton’s name is on the ballot. So the voting for president is done by the electoral college which would take all of the voting for our next president out of the public’s hands. What does this mean? Politicians would elect our next president.

Scared?

Does this scare you? It should. Although the electoral votes are suppose to represent the people, if the people have not had a chance to “tell” – vote who they want, how is the electoral college suppose to know? They don’t. They vote as they please. Could they go by the last few public poles done by survey? Yes they could, but which one do they use? Not all the public poles offer the same results. As of now, depending on the pole you are quoted, Hillary Clinton is ahead or in others Donald Trump is ahead.

In essence, the politicians decide who they want for president. And we, have to live with the results. So where is the “people’s” choice? There isn’t a “we the people” choice, it would rely solely on the electoral college.

Is this the plan?

So is this the plan? Does the democrat party feel they would have a better chance of getting another democrat president into office in this manner?

By all rights, in my opinion, Mr. Kaine is a better choice for president than Mrs. Clinton. Mr. Kaine’s political views are not governed by the democrats “by laws” or rules. As a governor and senator, Mr. Kaine’s political career has show he does not follow all of the ideals laid out as a far left democrat. His ideals and past political record shows he falls somewhere in the middle and at times even agreeing with some republican views. Is he a democrat? Oh most definitely, but he tends to side with and fight for the people and what is right for the majority not for himself or for the powers above him.

Or…

Maybe it’s none of the above and Mrs. Clinton is not going to drop out of the race.  Maybe the idea behind this whole election is to position Mr. Kaine in the public’s eye for president in 2020.

ISIS, US Border, Americans

Let’s go back in time shall we?  Build a wall on the southern border of the United States.  People were up in arms.  Most of the people against the building the wall were not and are not now, living in a border state let alone right on the US – Mexico border.

Yet with their infinite wisdom, ill informed “facts”, and mightier than thou attitudes, these people and all their stopped closing down the border.  No one ever intended for the border to be complete closed, incurring self isolation.  Closing the border was to help eliminate, curtail the entrance of unauthorized crossings not at stationed border crossings. 

My opinion then and is the same today, we have Air Force, Army, Marines, Navy and National Guard to protect us; put them on the border.  Protect us.

With all the side stepping, false information, twisted facts and partial truths, there has not been a push or urgency to provide adequate  protection or enforcement stopping people from crossing the border illegally.  Now time is of the urgency.  ISIS has communicate via social networks, it is a good time to use the southwest border of the US to enter the country unnoticed.

It’s not to late to push a plan and execute the plan to protect our country!

Be informed, know the facts, tell Congress to act now!

Whoopi, Just The Facts Mama’

Why is it when someone has nothing to support their opinion and are NOT willing to listen to facts, they make up “facts” by saying only half truths or taking a subject and modifying to fit their opinion?
I am so tired of hearing just the half truths or only enough of the “facts” so that someone can use them to insinuate the facts stand for something they really don’t. It’s annoying, it’s the same as lying because the people knowingly do this and try to pass it off as “true fact”.
Are you really that insecure of your opinion and lack of knowledge that you have to lie? Some politicians do it all the time.  Especially when the concerns an incumbent. Are they really that afraid of their challenger?
Worse, are the people these lies are being spoke to really that ignorant they can not read between the lines or at the very least can not look up the facts so they can be educated on a particular topic?
Worse yet, people in the public eye or in a position to reach millions of viewers/listeners knowingly twist the facts to make it appear that the person in questions is or was up to no good.
Mr. Romney used his religion as a reason not to be drafted, yet he supports a strong military.  Sounds bad right?  Mr. Romney was doing his 2 – 2 1/2 years of mission service required by his religion.  What he was doing was providing assistance to people in France at a time of high turmoil.  These people were not just French but also Americans and people from other countries that got caught in the middle of all the unrest.
Why are these politicians not being held accountable? I’m not saying it’s every politician or that politicians are the only ones’ that do this, because they are not.
Dear ole, sweet Whoopi is a perfect example.  What is her secret agenda? Why would she purposely ask Mrs. Romney questions that she, Whoopi knew were incorrect?  Is this JUST the way some people are so they can twist known facts to fit their mold?  Is this so they can convince people the opposition is not fit for whatever position they are running for?  This is not the first time Whoopi has done this.  This is not the first time it has been heard of.  What is so bad, (and they know people will bite on to it), people fall for this as fact.  All Whoopi is did was to try to start a teenage drama she said, he said, immature, disrespectful, face slapping lies.
Grow up Whoopi!  Stop telling have truths.  Stop using your position to spread rumors, innuendos, and twisted facts.  For once, tell the facts, all of the facts.  Then give your opinion.  The question should have been, “Was it right for Mr. Romney to stay in France preforming his religious requirements or should he have come home and served in the military?” Mr. Romney did the same as many Americans did…. they helped the world be a better place.
Now, what about the people that joined the Peace Corps or other government recognized foundations to avoid the draft?  What about the people that joined the Peace Corps before the draft and were excused from serving because they were already serving the global community?  Should they have been forced to leave the Peace Corps to serve in the military?  Why is Whoopi not making issue with these people?  Some of these people did/have become politicians.

Usama Bin Laden, Hate Me

So the world is whirling with the news concerning the death of Usama Bin Laden.  Dancing in the streets, singing the National Anthem, yelling and chanting “USA,USA”.  But is it right?

Should we the people have killed him?  “WE”  Yes, I mean we, for we all have had at the very least a minute or two of joy and relief in our hearts upon hearing the news this tyrant was put down.  We have supported, at one time or another, for one reason or another, the extreme solution to a extreme problem.

But as Christians is it right?  I will not jump for joy or dance in the streets over the death of a person… any person no matter how evil, corrupt out to kill us… Christians, Catholics, or any other religious believers or non-believers.  Us meaning Americans, British, Africans, Spaniards, or any other nationality or countries citizens.

Am I glad that Bin Laden is dead?  God forgive me, yes I am.  But I will not jump for joy or dance in the streets.

Am I proud of our military, intelligence agencies and all of the other people that support, pray for and assist these people? Yes I am.  But I will not rejoice with songs for the death of this man.

Did our President finally step up and take action? Yes and I am proud that he did.  What President Obama authorized was what a real president of the USA would do in this case.  President Obama stood up and did what was right even if it meant bad feelings with Arab countries.

The killing of Osama Bin Laden was a necessary evil.  This does not finish the problem, but it does solve a portion of it.  This solution does show that the USA will not give up or stand down with there is a threat against US or our FRIENDS.

President Obama, there is a terrorist threat.  There is terrorism and it is nice to see that your administration is using that word again.  The killing of Osama Bin Laden is just the beginning of solving a problem, so keep solving the problem, don’t stop and don’t slow down.  Don’t pretend “terrorism or terrorist” is not a word or does not relate to a problem our country has and has had for many years.

And people, do not dance in the street celebrating the death of a person.

Critical Thinking…Just Think

Part of the problem with todays society is that fact that younger generations are being taught not to think for themselves or to take everything they see and hear as fact.

This problem is increased with the inclusion of the opinions of teachers; instead of teaching the facts, they are allowed to include or teach what is really the teacher’s opinion, not fact, but their interpretation or political view.

With this mentality also comes the mind set of those thinking everyone and everything is owed to them; there is no reason for them to do anything themselves even rely on themselves. Taking responsibility is definitely out of the question, it is always someone else’s fault, but that’s okay, the non-thinking generations are thinking less and less each day. These non-thinkers will be taken care of, that’s what has happened to them in the past and will happen to them in the future…or so they think.

The non-thinkers will always get their way and if they don’t it is the other person’s fault. Non-thinkers are always an easy target for slight of hand speeches, the speak around, and double talk. If they are promised the world, they are all for it, especially if they don’t have to do anything for.

“I’m voting for Obama, he’s going to pay my rent”. This is a prime example of what the non-thinkers think of and wait for in life. Someone else will take care of me. These are also the same people that believe they should have the same thing you have. You get up each morning and go to work… five days a week. At some point you are able to buy that vehicle you always wanted. You work hard for everything you have in your life.

Non-thinkers would believe that since you have one, it’s not fair they don’t and they should get yours or have other buy one for them.

Non-thinkers are a socialist dream come true. Rhetoric will spew from their mouths and the non-thinkers will lap it up as if it was truth, fact and gospel. If it benefits them, the non-thinkers know for a fact that is the way it is.

Stop being a non-thinker and start thinking for yourself. Once you have accomplished the thinking aspect of this, start being a critical thinker, analyze everything, research everything, look for the documented proof. Then think some more as you open your eyes and mind to the real world around you.

The Fall of Egypt

The fall of Egypt is not the end of the trend for countries to turn against current government. People around the world are standing up for what they believe is their rights. Poor government is not an excuse for citizens to suffer. Poor government is the reason to stand up and demand changes.

We are fortunate here in the USA that if our government is not providing appropriate services for the citizens there is a way to change government. In 2010 we saw a drastic change in government by our voters. Now it is up to the new Congress to make changes "we the people" have asked for, demand and declared "ENOUGH!".

Not all countries, in fact most countries can not vote/demand change and force the government to attempt change.  In most countries demanding change often results in violence and uprising most commonly squashed by their current government.

By demanding change and requesting a say in government offices and government actions, isn't this part of what democracy is about?

Demand change!  Get active, vote for who you believe will do best, not based on political party.  Make your vote count.
