The
fundamental question of this election is do we really want Obama’s third
term? Do we really want a President who
will push Obama’s agenda even further to the left?
In
2008, America was facing a terrible economic downturn. Does anyone really believe that Obama’s
trillion dollar “shovel ready” public works, gave America anything close to a
real recovery? Does anyone really think
the unemployment numbers are more relevant than the record number of Americans
no longer in the workforce? Does anyone
really believe that America’s anemic recovery is the new normal? Hillary supporters are people who think they
and their fellow citizens are economically better off today than 2008. Trump’s
message is that America must end the regulations and taxes that have crushed
its economy.
In
2008, Americans enjoyed one of the best healthcare systems in the world. Does anyone really like their current health
plan? Do Americans like paying ever
higher premiums and higher deductibles?
Are Americans ready for a completely national healthcare system like
Canada or England?
In
2008, America was the world leader. Do
Americans like the fact that Russia is challenging the U.S., and poses more of
a threat, now than at any time since the USSR fell in 1991? Are Americans willing to watch China
consolidate its hegemony in Asia? Are
Americans willing to remain silent as China peels away U.S. allies, like the
Philippines, while extending its reach throughout Africa and Central America?
In
2008, the Middle East was dangerous, but at least the major extremist forces
were contained. Are Americans willing to
overlook Obama’s refusal to help liberal democratic forces in Iran (the Green
Revolution) in 2009 in order to promote Iranian ascendancy ever since? Are Americans passively accepting that the
“Arab Spring” brought peace and freedom to the region? Are Americans willing to applaud Hillary for
her tearing apart Libya, Syria, and Iraq during her time as Secretary of State?
Are Jewish Americans really willing to let Hillary continue undermining Israel,
the only true democracy in the region?
In
2016, America is facing a world that is slipping back into 17th and
18th Century trade wars. The
promise of a “flat earth” without policy, technology, or logistical barriers to
moving goods, services, and resources has been exploited by China and other
state run economies. America is adrift
in how to compete in this “back to the future” trade environment. Americans are grappling with how to earn a
living when robots at home and sweat shop labor abroad obliterate opportunities.
In
2016, Americans are facing dual invasions that will ultimately destroy our
culture and country. One is illegal
immigrants who increase crime and burden social services. The media has been
highly successful in deleting “illegal” from any discussion of immigration in
order to cast Trump and his supporters as racists or 19th Century
“know nothings”. The other invasion is Islamic militants who want to supplant
America’s Constitutional freedoms with Sharia law.
Finally,
in 2016, Americans are fed-up with the arrogant unaccountable political elite
whose only agenda is to line its own pockets and those of its cronies. Americans want a real revolution that ends
the reign of those who thumb their noses at the law.
Trump
asserts that immigration is a privilege not a right. Those who America welcomes should be people
who will enthusiastically embrace our hard won civic values and bring skills
that will revitalize America’s economy.
Trump
will drain Washington, DC’s swamp and usher in ethical and accountable
government.
