I left the party, because it was taken over by a bunch of yahoos and their 'orange' God.
But don't worry so much wolf, for people who believe that their man is the best thing since the virgin birth you trumpsters have little confidence that your little orange god can pull it off. I have no doubt that he will beat 'hittlary', for one thing NO one since the fall of Rome knows more about bread and circuses than 'The Thumpster' does. After he wins American will get just what it deserves, that's the scary part, because it will be just what we deserve.
Whether the next President is Trump or Hillary, America will be getting what it deserves. We've all seen the moral, spiritual, and societal decay in our communities and in our governing institutions, and may I add, our armed forces.
I entered active duty in 1976, at the outset of the All Volunteer Force. I saw how standards were lowered to meet recruiting goals. Yet as a platoon leader my first 18 months in Germany, the majority of the soldiers and NCOs under my command were fine men that made it work. My favorite platoon was one where 3 of my 4 squad leaders were E-4's. They had an energy and thirst for learning that was not there in other platoons where I had E-6's as my squad leaders. Fortunately, I arrived at that platoon with a year's experience as a platoon leader. I was not surprised when we had the only platoon of the four in our battery to pass an ARTEP.
Apologies for straying, but we have reached the point of no return. I won't vote for Hillary, but destroying one half of the UniParty is a necessary step, and Trump unwittingly is doing it, and immolating himself in the process. Hillary will have no honeymoon, as I expect to see more damning info on her in the coming months.
Is there a John Galt out there? We all have to become John Galt. I start my 19th year of teaching Old Testament to 6th graders in my parish. There are so many great life lessons in our curriculum, arming these young men and women with tools they can use to survive and thrive. I borrow a bit from Francisco d'Anconia when I tell them, "I am giving you the words you will need for the time you will need them."
Of the hundreds of kids that have gone through our program, they know who I am, if only for my role as the Jewish High Priest during our Solomon's Temple lesson. Those who were in my class ask me to follow them into 7th and 8th grade, except for my own kids, naturally...lol, one year with Dad is enough for them. All three of my kids have been in my class, as well as a niece and nephew. Over the next six years, another nephew and my grandson will have to endure a year of my class.
I have learned this is where I need to be, and too many adults are intimidated by the thought of trying to teach 6th graders. It's up to us at the grass roots level to find those niches where we can be a force for good, not only in the here and now, but in the future as well.
