The Election

It has been over a week since the election and I would like to express some of my thoughts. It was a hard fought election with some dirty campaign ads from both sides. Most of the vicious ads came from the so called super pacs. Some of them were entertaining but some of them were just outright lies. I will have to say that I thought that Biden ran a more upbeat campaign than Trump. Both candidates’ super pacs were very negative. The problem with Trump is he gave too much cannon fodder for organizations like the Lincoln Project. Another problem with Trump was that there were too many tweets and recordings that supported what organizations like the Lincoln Project stated. He really is not a very nice man but that does mean he couldn’t have been a good President. Biden is a very nice man but that does not mean he will be a good President. We need both the right and the left to walk a straight line. We have been pulled to the right for a while and may need to be pulled a little left to compensate but we need to get to the middle of the road so we can go straight.

One of the main problems that I had with the Trump presidency is the fact that he made our fellow Americans, namely the Democrats the enemy. I am sorry but my next door neighbor is not the enemy. They are just my next door neighbor with a different view. We need a two party system for country to survive. Do you know examples of one party system? How about the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany. The two party system has worked for over 200 years and I hope it works for another 200. The last four years has been a big eye opener for me but that probably should be a whole other blog.

I do think that Trump would have been reelected except for the virus. His lack of leadership and his dishonesty to the American people will probably define his presidency in history. Calling something a Democratic hoax when you knew how bad it was is just not acceptable to me and I do not understand how it can be to anyone. At a time when we needed real leadership he told us that it would be magically be gone by April when he knew different. I know this fall after Woodward’s book came out that he said those things because he didn’t want people to panic. I believe that that was another lie. What he didn’t want to do was hurt the strength of the economy which was the platform he was running on. His greatest economy of all time and it cost people’s lives. We have a right to know the truth all the time from our President. Lying to the American people even if is not under oath should not acceptable. I know he is that the first and he won’t be the last. But I will call out any politician who lies to the people and it causes deaths. He lied and people died and I wonder how so many people can find that acceptable.

This is my continued search on whether Trump has the Character to be President. A person I know stated “His character matters bc it is in the character I believe he has the leadership, knowledge, wisdom, experience, compassion, integrity that will lead us on the path towards a more safe, secure, healthy, prosperous, free world than the direction we are headed.” My last blog looked at his character as integrity from a legal standpoint before he even was elected President. From a legal standpoint there is no way I would have thought he had the integrity to be President. Now I will look at some of his Moral Integrity and Compassion that should be there from the man that sits in the White House.  I have to say something about Donald Trump, he sure is a believer in the institution of marriage. He likes marriage so much that he has said “I do” three times. What his problem with marriage is the actual vow that he has to take. You know that love, honor, and cherish until death do us part. ...

  I will tell you that I am no Christian, but I will tell you that I was raised in a Christian household. I was baptized, went to Sunday School, was Confirmed, and attended church into adulthood. Because of that upbringing, I still think about the morals I learned from that religious upbringing. To this day, I judge right and wrong by what I learned in that church. There has been a little bit of a dispute between The Pope of the Catholic Church, the Trump administration, the deportations, and Catholic convert Vance and his use of the concept from the medieval Catholic theology known in Latin as “Ordo Amoris”. I guess Vance has said the concept delineates a hierarchy of care – to family first, followed by neighbor, community, fellow citizen, and lastly those elsewhere. Being raised a Protestant I had never heard of it but then the Lutheran Church has no medieval saint.   I searched on the web and asked if “Ordo Amoris” was in the Bible and the short answer would be “no”. It i...

  MAGA called Biden a dictator, a Tyrant, a Nazi, a Communist, and the head of the Biden Crime Family. Biden was, of course, none of those things. Biden was a good Christian man who believed in God and the American system. When Biden said “God Bless America”, he meant it, whereas many politicians say, “God Bless America” only because they want your vote. Many people will say that Biden was weak. I don’t say that he was weak but I understand why some would say that. He believed in the system and he believed in the American people. It was our voice that was supposed to be important. It was not just his responsibility for our Democratic Republic to survive and flourish it was our responsibility too. Have we, as a country, lost our faith in our Democratic Republic? Have we lost the vision that was our Forefathers? Do today's Americans even understand what their vision was? What is a government by the People, of the People for the People?   Is that even close to what we have toda...
