"You can't make this up. The LGBT crowd went wild."
OF COURSE YOU CAN MAKE THIS UP!
Trump makes stuff up all of the time. Clinton creates on the fly.
The REAL danger here is NOT the BS and nonsense spewed around by the politicians. Clinton is only beginning to become vocal and this is a far cry from how many envisioned the election process to go. These are distractions, in my mind.
The REAL DANGER is The Supreme Court of The United States of America and who will get in.
Let's all turn the clocks back 50 years, folks. Let's be so progressive that we take away the rights of ANY american who is anything other than heterosexual.
Pray away the gay. Reverse legality of marriages performed legally because fearful, hate mongers. Gold Stars on your coats if you are Jewish and head for the trains. PUNISH WOMEN for terminating a pregnancy; like THAT is anyone's business but the pregnant person. Would we prefer back alley hatchet jobs and dead daughters and grand daughters after having been butchered? Can everyone really turn a blind eye to the realities of life in all cases? Let's have Morality with a price tag of Mortality.
Many here and throughout this incredible nation, hoot and holler about the SHAME and IMMORALITY of it all, while fully aware that the abortions they detest happened in their own families. Life events. Broken hearts and promises.
I fear for my granddaughter, who at age three, does not know that her RIGHTS likely will be stripped away by the time she is 11 or 12. if necessary, I support her right and will walk her safely inside the very clinic some want to firebomb; despite LEGAL abortion. This is where I may break a law.
I fear for all of us that the very human and civil(?) rights many fought and died for will be stripped away in power hungry fashion.
I am proud to be living in this great country. I am sickened by the behaviors of these Adult Role Models.
We may all have strong feelings on varied topics however did we REALLY think that some person who incites us to violence has the best interest of this country in mind? I feel that Mr. Trump has the best interest of Mr. Trump in mind. so, too, Clinton.
I do feel that experience speaks volumes.
My dad once said "EMPTY BARRELS MAKE THE MOST NOISE."
Ain't it the truth?
Spin it any way you like, however, picking and choosing what doesn't meet the giddy needs of the hate mongers will soon diminish our nations fiber as a grand and solid representation of what is true and good about America.
For those who think that the "LGBT" folks CHOOSE to be hated, firebombed and threatened as a way of life; you might want to roll it around in your noodle awhile.
It is NOT a DECISION made hoping for hate and misery. Like EVERYONE, these are the cards folks were dealt at conception and we are supposedly evolved enough to recognize that. But, I suppose we could ask Ms. Parks, were she alive, if being an inferior black was fun for her and does her family miss slavery. Ask the Japanese AMERICANS who were locked in concentration camps in California after having been in OUR military, fighting the injustice of invasion and tyranny how they enjoyed the destruction of their lives based on race and eye roundness. Except for American Indians, we are ALL PRODUCTS OF IMMIGRATION.
We are heading toward opening the books of yesteryear to learn the scripts of hate, fear, superiority and entitlement so we can make WRONG the RIGHTS fought and died for by men, women and, inadvertently, children in a chorus of Make America Great Again.
America is great. America needs to think long and hard about sincerity and hypocrisy. Politicians stir the pot. We need to stay great and correct some things in time.
Are we being served?
Oh. Before the hate starts coming my way: I am hetero. I am married. I support my right to choose. I support YOUR right to choose. I may not agree with you, but I will listen and hear you. I will not JUDGE based on public opinion. I decide on my own. I have eyes and ears and, if that goes away, I can lipread and sign as well.
I live in the greatest country in the world at a fragile time in world history.
Please, 1) Don't push too many buttons and 2) THINK about our tomorrows, would be my request to any inhabitant of the The Oval Office at The White House.
I am an American who wants to wake up with my thoughts and beliefs knowing that when I go to bed, those thoughts and rights will still be intact.
God Bless America.
God Bless our rights to think and speak.
May we be in Heaven one half hour before the devil knows we're dead. (to coin a phrase from an Irish creed)
just sayin'.
Peace.
