Folks now that we have had a few days
to watch the Radicals lose their shit over a normal election in
America lets look at some facts. So for you radicals out there lets
look at a few things. . . .
Americans are basically good people.
No matter what the news tells you there is not popular support to
attack our fellow citizens who are gay or Muslim or black or yellow
or green or anything else. There is not popular support to end the
right to choose or to take away women's rights. There is no popular
support for police brutality on anyone and there is no popular
support for racism. There is no popular support for much of the crap
the news is talking about. They like to stir things up and it gets
attention. If this election has shown us anything it should be that
our news is not unbiased and it is not as interested in the facts as
much as it is interested in a good sound bit no matter where it came
from. It is in the news medias interest to push fear and hate, it
sells- stop playing their game.
The President of the USA (POTUS) can
say a lot, but our founders whom you like to crap on were much
smarter than you give them credit for. While the POTUS can talk all
he/she wants and they do every election they seldom can do all they
say they can. Why? It is called checks and balances and we have a
bunch.
First and foremost is the Congress.
And before you say the GOP got that too it is the House and the
Senate that is needed to pass a law, and the Senate is only held by 1
seat at this point. Almost every bill that comes through folks from
both sides cross the isle to do what is best for their state so they
can get reelected. These folks are also people, not evil machines or
demons and they will vote based on their morals and that prevents a
lot of crap from passing.
Second we have the courts and they are
rather neutral now (maybe a bit left of where they should be but. .
.) and use our Constitution to make the calls. Our Constitution was
well written and has served us well for over 200 years now. It is
because of this very document we now have gay marriage and and may
other things. The Constitution does not grant us rights folks, it is
a very limited document that tell the government what it has the
powers to do and no more. Our rights exist no matter what, every
single one of them listed in the Bill of Rights exists no matter what
DC says. DC did not grant them and DC does not have the power to
take them. We can let them stop us from using our rights but they
can't take them.
Lastly we have the people. Although
many of us don't want socialism and that is what Obama was selling we
also don't want the Government running our lives or yours.
You will find that when the people speak Congress listens (so they
can get reelected). There will not be enough support to overturn Roe
v. Wade in the courts or Congress. There will be no support to
deport Citizens (Illegals should not be here anyway), and you will
not find support to discriminate in any laws that make it through
Congress. Congress also controls the money folks and if enough of us
convince our rep not to back something - even if it is a law or one
of the regs from the numerous bureaucracies run by appointment in DC
it can still be stopped by the House. If they don't pay for it to
happen it will be very hard for them to do it. Cut off the money as
they say. . .
Then we have the fail safe, called the
Second Amendment. And it is still strong in most of the country and
growing. We the people will not let the Government move against
fellow citizen that would bring on one hell of a civil war and the
folks in power know that (good reason the radicals want gun control
to take this away from us).
For my few nut case friends who do want
that civil war over this please remember you are in the minority on
that one. I doubt most of the Hillary supporters (or any other sane
person) are ready to follow you into that one. Also please remember
that most of us Evil Conservatives are the ones with the guns, and
the training to stand up to you. Lets stop talking bullshit as we
know this option would not end well for anyone, but I do firmly
believe you would get the worst of it. You also need to understand
that most of us are center right not far right and we support many of
the same things you do – gay rights, equal rights, right to choose,
etc and we will stand with you and fight for these things. DC knows
that. We just want smaller government and for it to leave us in
peace. As long as you are not hurting anyone and you are an adult
you should pretty much be able to do what you want, love who you want
and smoke what you want. . . .. Just be responsible about how you do
it.
So as much as you hate it you need to
trust those old white guys who set up our country. They were a lot
smarter than you think. And they were a lot smarter than that
radical Professor you had in college that played armchair quarterback
on everything he would have done better than them. The world had not
ended, and Trump will not get anything very radial through to law.
Yes the Supreme Court of the US (SCOTUS) will probably go back to
center right and that is where it should be. Their job is to do a
strict interpretation of the laws against the powers granted by the
Constitution and see if it passes. They should be asking “what
would our founders have said” and there is plenty out there for
them to research on that. They are not there to make law or rewrite
them – Is it Constitutional Yes or No.
So please, hug your kids, be happy or
sad at the election results and go back to living. Protest if you
want it is your right but do it peacefully and treat other with
respect if you want to get respect yourself. If we all would
actually treat each other as we want to be treated we would have made
a big leap forward. Do what you can personally to make this country
better but please stop the riots and attacks on other citizens. You
are not helping anyone including your own cause by burning down a
store and putting folks out of work who have done nothing to hurt you
- and no that is not free speech.
