So many issues, so little time!
Here is some food for thought with a little bit of common sense mixed in. (Common sense seems to be nonexistence today.)
As a nation we must get back to “In God we trust.” This is where it all began and will end.
A nation divided against its self cannot stand. (Thanks, Abe.)
We must have and respect law and order. Cold-blooded pre-medicated murder should be met with the death penalty.
Taxes cannot keep going up, either local or federal level, without negative consequences. Do not spend money we do not have on programs we do not need.
The unborn are entitled to basic rights.
Our military must be stronger. (Speak softly and carry a big stick. Thanks, Teddy.)
Surely, we as a nation can come up with a better health plan than Obamacare!
The Supreme Court should never be a lifetime appointment.
We must get back to practicing and protecting the Constitution of the United States.
Look up E.M.P. (electromagnetic pulse) and the relationship to war.
Simply put, open borders can’t continue without some type of restriction. (Things have changed!)
Do away with Common Core and get the federal government out of our schools. (I know they do not pay unless we play.)
Instead of more brick and mortar, pay the teachers more! Get rid of most of the testing from the government! Give curriculum design back to the local districts. I have faith in the teachers to teach what our kids need to know. Not all kids learn the same way.
Most everything in government boils down to power and money just like it has always been.
When the people can’t trust their government, the downfall of that nation begins.
Apathy and complacency has gotten our nation into deep trouble!
We’ve forgotten our veterans who fought for us! It is time to fight for them!
President Obama has signed 923 executive orders, more than any other president in all of history. If you think Halloween is scary, you should read the last 20 orders!
Always pleading the Fifth Amendment should not be allowed.
Russia - North Korea - Iran and China. Keep your friends close – keep your enemies closer!
Don’t believe everything you see and hear in the main news media. How gullible we have become!
If my son or daughter dies protecting their country, I sure do not want to hear, “What difference does it make?”
More people are dying on our roads because of texting then driving intoxicated. What a stupid thing to do!
These people need to step down today: FBI Director James Comey, Attorney General Loretta Lynch, House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, Senator Harry Reid and acting Democratic National Committee Chairman Donna Brazile.
The American people need to start standing up for what we believe in so that change can take place. The three most important words in the constitution are “We the people”. I ask you where are we?
