Tend the Garden of Freedom

Let's get something straight.
The 2016 presidential election isn't about choosing between two candidates. Not really.
Forget about the who-done-its, the who-didn't-do-its, the who's-gonna-do-its and all the theatrics.

The 2016 presidential  election is really a choice between;

• rescuing our indivisible, Constitutional, beacon-of-the-free-world America OR 
• wrapping the broken Obama "legacy" with an Ace bandage and limping on, to include more;  
• class warfare
• imploding entitlements
• secrecy and deception
• unmanaged immigration
• refusal to label and eradicate Islamic terrorism
• jobs relocated overseas
• crippling debt
• devastating foreign policies
• erosion of the military
• and much more talk from a woman who has spent 30+ years amassing a fortune at it.

The evidence of failures from Obama's "lead from behind" crew could not be more clear.
We preview seeds of division, anarchy and terror as they germinate daily on tv and social media.
Those seeds are now sprouting everywhere in our land, maybe in your neighborhood or mine.
We've had Quite Enough of Obama's "fundamental transformation of America."

Now is the time to replace talk with action. Now is the time to tend the garden of freedom.

As an English Italian German White LDS Female Republican Heterosexual American

I am continually frustrated as American citizens are divided into "baskets" by skin color, religion, ethnicity, gender, sexual preference . . . you name it!
Can't we just STOP THIS!!!
Why can't we all just be Americans?

Vote for Liberty

November 8, 2016, I will vote for The Constitution and for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

• The Constitution, where politically incorrect phrases like "Islamic terrorists" can be spoken;
• Life, where human body parts will never be marketed in the name of women's rights;
• Liberty, where "the content of one's character"* can be measured as race and religion cannot;
• The pursuit of happiness, where jobs, safety, and education flourish "of the people, by the people, and for the people" rather than "of Washington, by Washington, and for Washington."

*I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character." Martin Luther King, Jr.

Memo to Hillary

Memo to Hillary in response to her "basket of deplorables"* speech:

Dear Hillary,

Please refer to The Declaration of Independence, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men (women and children) are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

People are "created equal" and are not deplorable.
Only ideas, words and actions can be deplorable.

Ideas like selling human body parts while labelling those who are against this practice as sexist.

Words like "at this point, what difference does it make?" when responding to the deaths of four American patriots in Benghazi and then labelling those who question these words as Islamaphobes.

Actions like accepting millions of dollars from countries who are proven enemies of freedom and labelling those who question the motives of this action as xenophobes.

Hillary, 'to just be grossly generalistic,' the foundation of lies that your political dynasty totters on is inexhaustible.

You may be the First Lady for which some Americans cast their presidential vote.
But you are not my first lady and never will be.

*"You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump's supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right? The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic -- you name it. And unfortunately there are people like that . . . Now, some of those folks -- they are irredeemable, but thankfully they are not America." Hillary Clinton, Sept, 2016

As a Former Military Wife

I recognize how important it is for the United States to "provide for the common defense" as stated in the Preamble to the Constitution.*

A strong military is critical to America and to world stability. We must rebuild our military. 

Obama's self-styled "leading from behind" policies have proven disastrous. 
Hillary Clinton plans to continue them. 

Donald Trump will rebuild the military and work with its seasoned leaders toward stability and peace.

*Preamble to the Constitution:
"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

As a Patriot

I will vote for a patriot who will keep the oath of office to defend and uphold The Constitution of the United States, which includes;

•  freedom of religion
•  freedom of speech, and 
•  freedom to bear arms.

Hillary Clinton's record documents that she is invested in destroying all three . . . other than preserving them to protect herself and her "friends," that is.

Donald Trump has challenged the mask of religion when used as a shield to commit atrocities, the double standard of political correctness, and the voodoo that inanimate objects are killers.

The Constitution of the United States must prevail . . November 8, 2016.

*Patriot: a person who vigorously supports their country and is prepared to defend it against enemies or detractors.

As a Law-Abiding Citizen

I am a law-abiding citizen and expect all those who come to America for any purpose to be law-abiding as well, including immigrants.

Donald Trump outlined yesterday  a 10-point plan for lawful immigration.
Hillary Clinton wants to put a bandaid on the heart failure called illegal immigration and call it healed.

As a Retired Teacher

I object to the federal government making education decisions that should be made by states, local school districts and citizens whose children are most impacted by them.

Donald Trump is determined to return these decisions to the people who are most invested in them.
Hillary Clinton -- not so much.
