Oh NO! I thought you were well versed on politics. Third party? Total waste of a vote. THAT has zero to do with what is, for the good of the country. Those votes are to make YOU feel 'good". Forget about saving the country. 'If Hillary had won, I was prepared to go to war". = big head Fred
Just vote TRUMP and no need for war. People need to think of country...not their own little feelings.
@LegalAmerican Please allow me to offer a little friendly education on how we do things in America re: voting. The right to vote was, and still is, secured for us through the blood of men who fought for it. That’s why it’s considered sacred. We don’t instruct others how to vote and we don’t accept instruction. That’s how they do things in socialist countries and other tyrannical regimes.
My father was a battle veteran; he didn’t fight so that someone could tell me “just vote this way†and have me comply like a mindless drone. He fought to keep us a free people who understand that
a sacred right is determined by conscience—-not by party, not by fear, and not by misguided loyalty to politicians.
If your civic education didn’t teach you that American principles were developed long before Donald Trump, then it’s grievously lacking. It’s not apparent that you have any knowledge at all of the founding fathers, the men who really DID suffer sacrifice in order to birth this nation, and I don’t mean criticism from the press. It’s your responsibility as a naturalized American to make yourself familiar with these great men, the greatest of whom is George Washington, and their founding principles.
“...It becomes necessary to every [citizen] then, to be in some degree a statesman, and to examine and judge for himself of the tendency of political principles and measures. Let us examine, then, with a sober, a manly . . . and a Christian spirit; let us neglect all party [loyalty] and advert to facts; let us believe no man to be infallible or impeccable in government any more than in religion; take no man’s word against evidence, nor implicitly adopt the sentiments of others who may be deceived themselves, or may be interested in deceiving us.†—- John Adams
“Let each citizen remember at the moment he is offering his vote that he is not making a present or a compliment to please an individual – or at least that he ought not so to do; but that he is executing one of the most solemn trusts in human society for which he is accountable to God and his country.†—- Samuel Adams
“In selecting men for office, let principle be your guide. Regard not the particular sect or denomination of the candidate – look to his character. . . . When a citizen gives his suffrage to a man of known immorality he abuses his trust; he sacrifices not only his own interest, but that of his neighbor, he betrays the interest of his country.†—- Noah Webster
“The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism. The disorders and miseries, which result, gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual; and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction, more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of Public Liberty.“ —- George Washington
“There is nothing which I dread so much as a division of the republic into two great parties, each arranged under its leader, and concerting measures in opposition to each other. This, in my humble apprehension, is to be dreaded as the greatest political evil under our Constitution.†—- John Adams
