PART 2 REVIEWING THE FACTS

Part 2

I don't want to be a mouthy brat and say,"not my president!" But I will ask why is it that someone has to lose?  Why is it that in this administration does it seem that it is some kind of war? War with the press, war with anyone that has anything negative to say.   Some kind of Vendetta that came apparent right away after Barack Obama "supposedly"humiliated" Donald Trump at some dinner.  

Lets put the shoe the other foot for a minute.  Was it not for years Mr. Trump (his title at the time) had it out for Then President Obama? His birth place, his right to be an American due to his less than candid declaration of his time spent overseas when his mother was married to husband 2? At that time we all began to see the makings of a dilemma.  The conspiracy theorists began cutting apart pictures of Barack and his family claiming he was a plant. The bloodlines thing and so on. Our Now President elect fueling the flames.  If you want to be a purest wouldn't you say Mr. Trump had it coming?  Disrespecting the Incumbent president?  And this is what I wanted to address in part.  The lack of respect in our public offices.  The screaming and fighting of our wayward young people in the streets over the politics and then when questioned their opinions so off the wall and ignorant you as a thinking individual are in shock and awe, questioning the educational system . How did they get so stupid?  Yet once again we have to Segway to age,  Any of us could have been featured by high times magazine for on campus pot smoking and a lack of direction. Yet, I don't know anyone still smoking and partying,  my peers are for the most responsible tax payers, working and raising families.   However, I never personally tried to shout down a professor, stand in the commons and spew hateful words and get beat up by the police.    

it has to be some kind of vendetta.  I have lost confidence as I see  the fighting, yes we saw that Barack Obama belittled Donald Trump and did not apologize, but did he not have it coming?  he dragged Barack Obamas' personal life through the mud.  Publicly as if to stain him out of spite.   Isn't that what is really going on now?  Two warriors , still stabbing each other at the expense of the American people?  

Sure, Donald Trump can kill Obama care.  But why?  Just tweet it, fix what is wrong with it.  

Everyone knows how they got the numbers to feed to the fish, kill the advertising so no one knows they can still sign up.  Emphasize the penalty which was just to motivate the feet draggers. No one I know who did not sign up got fined really.  Incite to riot that the federal government is dictating to them.  Come on... are Americans not smarter than that?  https://youtu.be/UUlTnXKL-dQ

I am not defending the former Obama administration that hid unemployment figures by not counting the millions that had been unemployed so long they fell off the radar.  This not counted as unemployed any more.  Only those still receiving benefits were counted.  

Or the lack of common sense that Mr. Obama had when it came to foreign relations , making the G8 into a buddy club, pissing off Vladimir Putin to the extent that he left the meetings early. 

No one missed the fact that our greatest friend and ally Great Britains' Queen Elizabeth did not like him, as he missed the subtle clues necessary to observe pomp and circumstance that so dictates that culture. Or possibly everyone did miss the "get behind me David Cameron," attitude as their handsome, popular Prime Minster played second fiddle to his " Royal coolness." Costing him dignity in his own Parliament.

A CHANGING PERSPECTIVE

Google Images, June 2017.

     Having voted For a Democrat

for the first time in my life I rode the wave of Victory in an amazing, magical time.  I was there the day that Barack Obama put his hand on the Bible and swore to uphold the laws of our land as our President. I watched as the cameras panned  to the sea of people that clotted  the avenues as far as ones eye could see.  The first Black President! 

Then it began, the fighting that would leave our nation bewildered and angry enough to bring in someone that is insensitive to the needs of this country in his fulfillment of his promise to,"Make America Great Again."however, in my thinking I am beginning to wonder whose America is he speaking about?
 I am not some kid in my 20s' running out carrying a flag and screaming throwing punches.  I am  a University graduate with degrees and a certainty about life and faith and who I am that reaches far beyond my own estimation as well as my parents.  (Thats a joke, the part about my parents)  Being a pot smoker in high school and doing my share of soft drugs, ditching school and beer bonging rebellion was no stranger to me..  Then something happened, I grew up, got married had babies and raised a family. Just like everyone else, right?  

However, as time has progressed I have realized I was just a cross section of the population of this country.  As an adult I learned of the struggle people of color have had and it began long before I was even a thought in the family line.  Don't label me just yet, I am not a liberal.  I am very much pro life and do not believe that a woman should be able to make a decision to end her child's life because its her body.  I don't come at anything with merely my opinion.  I study everything. I take in account a persons situation, how they came to the conclusion they did and why they feel the way that they do.  What has been a primary factor in peoples decisions, I have found since I have been formulating my ideas, is that people in general are selfish and weak.  Its true, they do not want to take the responsibility for their own behavior.  Throughout history people have been behaving this way.   

Strength and integrity are human qualities that need to be developed.  
Throughout  our past people have needed  the strong and sensible to make decisions for the rest who do not possess those character qualities if not for any other reason we don't end up animating ourselves as a species   One can see it all around them right now. For example, Where have all the trees gone?  The logging industry rather than finally calling it quits is hanging in there considering wild  trees growing in the wilderness needing to be managed(in their minds), have still been making our hillsides bare and dangerous.  Recently where I live,  the town nearest  had a mudslide.  It moved the homes below a hillside, off their foundations. It turned out to be a logging operation. They logged the land above the houses leaving the hillside bare.   Anyone with common sense would have seen that the tress were holding up the hillside and should not have been touched. That by cutting the trees a situation was created that certainly caused the soil retention to be weakened, and the weight of the water swept that soil downward(gravity) onto the homes below, possibly killing people in their beds. 

 Despite public education, that is compulsory in this nation, there are those that don't seem to be able to benefit from it.  Or is it that what is taught in the schools not sufficient?  Or that it turns out persons who cannot understand that you mustn't risk the lives of others to put money in your own pocket? 

This is where we are at with our political scene.  Its all boiling down to money again.  Money is being put on par with human value.
