Some comforting thoughts

 

As our politicians continue with their ‘divide and conquer” strategies that seem to provoke fear anger and hate, I thought it would be useful to point out some simple truths the campaigns are ignoring. 

1.      Eliminating Roe V Wade will not stop abortions.  They’ve taken place for centuries and a change in law will only change how/where they are done.

2.       No one can take “all the guns away”.  There is no way to do this without issuing search warrants for every location in the country.

3.       Taxing, Spending, and Compromising are the most important functions of a politician. Any politician that says otherwise doesn’t understand the job.

4.       Only those who don’t believe in democracy will try to suppress the vote.

5.       Capitalism, Socialism, Communism and Fascism are all failed 19th century ideas that have been proven failures in their purest forms.  These words are only meant to provoke fear now.

6.       Our Country was founded on principals that were adopted by Christians, but established long before the birth of Christ.  Many of our founders had a profound dislike of Christianity.  Ethan Allen stated that money was much better spent on whiskey than on church.

One of our countries principal problems are the people that vote on only one issue that will not change no matter who is elected.  Please consider the whole candidate.
