Reflections on the Apocalypse

Everyone should know by now that neither Hillary Clinton nor Donald Trump should be president of the United States.  Hillary belongs in prison and Trump belongs in a mental institution.  Hillary's election will allow Democrats to rewrite the Constitution and transform the Supreme Court into a liberal rubber stamp, giving the Democrats a permanent dictatorship.  Obama started the process, Hillary would finish it.  On the other side, nobody has a clue about what Trump would do as president.

Unfortunately, most Americans seem to think they have only two choices to vote for.  After all, how would they know other candidates exist?  The Republicans and Democrats, who control the televised debates, won't let Gary Johnson on the stage and the media won't provide the coverage of his candidacy they are obligated to do.

Gary Johnson has more experience as the chief executive of a governmental organization than either Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton.  Both he and his VP candidate William Weld were elected and re-elected as governors in heavily Democratic states.  Gary Johnson has proven he can handle the job, and he isn't an arrogant elitist.  Most of all he isn't Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton, and he is on the ballot in all 50 states.

Gary Johnson and the Libertarians are economically and fiscally conservative and socially liberal, which happens to be the same philosophy of the majority of Americans.  Johnson and Weld believe in our Constitution and the separation of powers.  They believe in limited government interference in private enterprise and support equal rights, equal justice, and equal opportunity.  They most definitely do not support the globalist platform of elitist eggheads controlling our lives by mandating politically correct rules and regulations denying our individual rights.  They do not think America should become involved in foreign conflicts, but also do not advocate the unilateral disarmament and dismantling of our ability to defend ourselves from terrorism and foreign aggression currently underway in the Obama administration.  Doesn't it make more sense to vote for someone who represents the views of the people rather than the inflexible, misguided agenda of the Republicans and the Democrats?

America cannot restore its liberty, justice, prosperity or social harmony under either Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump.  Hillary Clinton has declared she will double down on the disastrous policies and authoritarian administration of Barack Obama.  Donald Trump is, well, just nuts.  Gary Johnson offers a refreshing alternative.  He is exceedingly worthy of strong consideration, particularly given the unworthy candidates the two major political parties are offering.  He is a much better choice than a slithering snake or a pompous peacock.

It is now nut-crunching time.  Does anybody really want to see Hillary or The Donald on the front page of the newspaper every day for the next 4 years?  The leadership of the two dominant parties is corrupt, unproductive, indifferent to everyone but their political benefactors, and intent on maintaining the status quo rather than doing what is right.  Neither of them represent the American people.  They are bought and paid for by wealthy benefactors and special interest groups.  They have controlled our government for far too long.  It is past time for a change.

I refuse to believe that the majority of Americans are greedily self-centered enough to vote based on how much they can extort from our government at the expense of others; possess a psyche that is so fragile they must be protected from the opinions of others; believe that law enforcement personnel and every white person is racist; or have just lost their sanity.  Unfortunately, I could be wrong on all counts.  Something is very wrong in a country where either Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump could be the next president.  We cannot survive the continuous polarization of our society.  It is time to get a grip.

I know that Gary Johnson has no chance of being elected president.  The fact that he doesn't is quite disturbing, and reflects the reality that we no longer have a functioning democracy.  So I understand the pressure to vote for Donald Trump in order to prevent Hillary from winning the election.  Hillary Clinton has been involved in criminally corrupt, diabolically dishonest, and deviously duplicitous activities throughout her more than three decades in the public arena.  Why would anyone vote for such a deplorable person who has never done anything favorable for the American people in any office she has held.

Personally, I am voting for Gary Johnson.  If Hillary wins the popular vote in Texas by one vote I will probably have to shoot myself.  Regardless, if anyone who reads this still feels compelled to vote for Hillary, it is vitally important to vote for Republicans in the congressional races.  If Hillary wins and the Democrats take either the Senate or the House of Representatives, this country is toast.  Even Democrats have to know that is true, at least the ones who haven't been totally brainwashed.
