The Election Can't come Soon Enough.

I've always been a political junkie and enjoyed the peaceful transition of power that occurs in our wonderful country.  Not this year!!!!  I find myself downhearted and afraid of the consequences of this election.

 I will be delighted when this election is finally over next week.  It is so mean spirited and anti-democratic.  It is hard to realize people I know and respected would be so willing to undermine our country and the leadership just to elect one candidate or the other.  Is the concept of what's best for ALL Americans really dead?  Do we always have to think and solve problems on a partisan basis and only through our political affiliation? 

Thinking, logic and moral values are no longer real factors in decision-making it seems.  Bullying, harassment and name-calling seem to be the rule of the day.  Allowing stolen documentation, leaked from a foreign, enemy nation, to influence our citizens and dismissing it as inconsequential is unpardonable.  While the first amendment remains a stalwart element in our society, shouldn’t thorough discussion of issues matter as well?   Does the truth no longer count?  The way the 2016 election has been conducted is an anathema to the foundation and structural core of our country as set up by the founding fathers. 

It is also hard to accept a large segment of the citizenship that blames Barack Obama for everything from killing Christ, starting the American Civil War, looking the other way when Japan bombed pearl Harbor, the bombing of the World Trade Center and the Pentagon (what deplorable thing hasn't he done?).  Resistance by elected officials to legislate on every level, as well as common people who would themselves benefit from some of the laws being passed, vote against their own best interest, choosing to side against the Kenyan in the White House.  These are scary times, especially if you are an ethnic minority in this country.  I hesitate to think of the aftermath of the election.  The strategies and delegitimization of so many practices and people will leave a lasting legacy of growing distrust and hate.  I fear for God-fearing, law-abiding citizens, but most of all for the leaders of our country.  Violence has been introduced as an acceptable alternative to honest dialogue, and it is so surprising to see how many people grab onto that concept so eagerly.

Come on November 9^th!  Let end this chaos!!!  Hopefully, we will get back to improving our economy, infrastructure, schools, taking care of our vets, and defense so we can all be more secure.  Not because of the party I lean towards, but because it's the right thing to do!
