The importance of the next presidential election

One thing that I have noticed over the last 35-40 years is the apathy of the voters in America. When growing up my father was adamant about me knowing current events and especially the good and bad things about the political candidates. He was an immigrant, legal by the way, and America was his new home. He was proud of that more than I can describe in words. He came from a place where socialism reigns supreme and that nation is now in chaos because it is broke, as all socialist countries will end up because socialism will never work, has never worked.

America is coming to a point in the road where we will have to either go down that road and end up on the trash heap of history the same as the USSR or we will take a stand and revert back to the nation our Founders designed and return to capitalism that is the only foundation for a prosperous and strong nation. This was proved beyond a doubt from the founding of America until even today. No nation has prospered like America and given more freedom to its people than America. But we are losing both at an exponential rate because we are allowing the philosophy of socialism and secular humanism.

The Democrats, ever since the Kennedy administration, have taken a road that is leading us to the same destination that the USSR ended up at, national bankruptcy. The Obama administration has accelerated this journey exponentially in the last seven years. As of January of 2015 we have seen a major downward trend in America’s economy and status in the world. It has all been because of the economic policies of the Democrats. Many say that we need to get back to Clintons economic policies, which he takes all the credit for, but what not many people know is those policies were not his, they were the policies of the Republican controlled Congress and he vetoed them twice before he finally signed them. Sadly to say the Democrats have not had anyone with common sense in economics since JFK.

Since Obama has taken office we have seen 6.5 million people quit the work force. This is how Obama claims the unemployment is down. These people still are not employed but they have given up looking for jobs any more so they are no longer counted as unemployed. The federal debt is up 55%! He said he would reduce it but he has spent more than all 43 Presidents before him. The cost of gas is up 79%. He claims that America’s oil production is up because of his policies but they are only up because of the private sector which he can’t control. Oil production on federal lands, which are resources that belong to the American people not the federal government, is down about 40% at the requirement of Obama. The number of Americans in poverty has risen 23% under Obama, food stamp recipients have increased an unbelievable 46%! These are not figures that show a strong economy nor do they show leadership. They are figures that point to an abject failure on this administration’s ability to understand the workings of a nation economy. This is what happens when we elect a person that has never had to work a day in his life, never ran a business, and never had to make a payroll. He only has 6% of his cabinet that have ever run a business. Reagan’s cabinet had 63% of successful businessmen.

I learned a long time ago that we have to vote person not Party but today there is no one running in the Democrat Party that has any sense about economics. Hillary Clinton has no more experience in economics than Obama. Bernie Sanders doesn’t even understand that even if he taxed every person and business at 100% he still couldn’t pay for what he is promising. Not many in the Republican field are any better but we do have a couple governors that have run the economies of States successfully and a businessman that knows all aspects of economics as well as dealing with foreign entities. This is more talent than most of the Democrats combined.

This is why this election is so important to America. One Party is offering to continue down the road we are on which will do nothing but turn America into a third world nation . The other Party at least has some competent people with good experience that can help slow down the bleeding that we are doing economically and the only hope we have to begin to turn this nation around. But it isn’t just economics that has been destroyed in the last seven years. The character of the man in the White House has degraded that office like no other in history. How long can we stand as a nation when we allow our children to be murdered in the womb? Granted he did not start that. It began with Richard Nixon but Obama has almost made it mandatory and is trying to force all people to pay for this ungodly genocide. Only a heartless fool would try to force a group of Catholic nuns like the Little Sisters of the Poor to pay for birth control and abortion drugs[1], but that is Obama. He rejects a Christians point of view on this subject but has exempted muslims from Obamacare and performing jobs they were hired to do based on their religious beliefs.[2] It seems that only islam is a protected religion in America today. Christian bakers have to violate their faith and provide goods and services for something Christians find abominable but muslims don’t have to deliver beer[3], handle bacon[4], alcohol[5], carry service dogs in cabs[6] and a list of other things because it is against their faith.

Obama has also destroyed our reputation around the world. We are seen as weak and spineless. Our allies don’t trust us and our enemies don’t fear us. Obama has decimated our military to the point that it is weaker than pre-WWII! We need a person that will return our military to its strength that Reagan built it up to and have the resolve to retaliate when a third world bully nation tries to do something we crush them with speed and force that no other nation would dare to mess with America.

This is what Reagan meant by ‘Peace through strength.’ Trump has eluded to bring America back to its once #1 place in the world for military power. If we don’t re-establish America as a world military power we will continue to see San Bernardino’s, 911’s and many other situations that will keep terror and fear in the hearts of Americans.

We need to pay close attention to who we place in places or authority. We must chose people who have enough experience to handle the position they being put into. Neither Obama nor Hillary Clinton have been qualified for the positions that they have held. Both have lied to the American people time and time again. Both have degraded their positions for their own political gain. As a nation we can’t continue to have unqualified people in leadership. It is going to take a lot of work to correct the disaster that Obama and this Congress has created. We have to remember that Congress has a 9-12% approval rating but we return 90+% of them back to DC hoping they’ll solve the problems that they created. That’s the definition of insanity. All the life long career politicians need to leave and get new people in. People who will actually solve the problems we have and return America to the greatness that the Founders gave us.
