Nobody will disagree that the 2016 political campaign was nasty and contentious; however, it is over, and Mr. T***p w*n. I am neither Democrat nor Republican but rather an Independent with conservative values that include:
1. Follow the Constitution of the United States of America;
2. Be fiscally responsible;
3. Limit government to the enumerated powers granted in the Constitution; and
4. Be a nation of laws.
I don't think any of these values are unreasonable, rather I mention them as a premise for what I am about to say: the last eight years, in my humble opinion,have been a horror. I know that is not what a Liberal wants to believe, but Obama over and over again signed Executive Orders that were unconstitutional, put into a play an expensive and unworkable health care plan, pissed off most of our partner countries (the UK, Israel, Australia, Germany, and I could go on and on), the middle east is a mess, he partnered with terrorist groups (Iran/Cuba/the Muslim Brotherhood), race relations in the US are as bad as I've seen them since the '60s, our police are being disrespected and murdered, and the rule of law only pertains to some groups of people. Our economy is a disaster and border security is a joke. Unvetted refugees are being funneled into the country right and left, and people are terrified that we are going to have another 911 type attack.
I don't think this is the kind of country we want to be and millions of other Americans feel the same, which is why Mr. T***p w*n. We gave the Obama policies a fair shake over the last eight years, and I would hope that liberals and progressives will give Mr. Trump and his administration a chance to turn this country around.
Let's take a deep breath, remember that we are all Americans, and get on with the business of putting this country back together.
Nobody will disagree that the 2016 political camp... (
