I think we all need to look to history as we were taught in school to decide how to vote. Whether I agree with what you have to say or not, I will defend your right to say it. It seems that “hate speech” (an insidious form of mind control), the ability to vote without identification, the ability to vote after death, open borders to any and all immigrants (a form of slavery), and gun control are all the brainchild of one party. Anyone who fell for “we have to vote on it before we read it” must have had a poor attendance record in middle school.

Do I trust Republicans with the environment? I don’t think so. Do I know that every right to vote state (right to starve) in the United States is below the national average in income? Yes. Do I approve of Trump’s past history? No.

I must vote, and I do know that Hillary Clinton will see to the destruction of the First and Second amendments to our Constitution and, I fear, the Constitution itself. Her mentor and idol is Saul Alinsky. Anyone who would like to read his book “Rules for Radicals” is welcome to contact me and I’ll arrange it. Our present administration is following the book step by step. These people don’t build anything; they amass power and any means at all will justify that in their minds. Take a tip from Josef Stalin, “Once you control their health care, you control them”.

Please, don’t take my word for this. Buy a used history book, the older the better.
