If Hillary Wins, Then What?

   First of all, let's not fool ourselves. Intuitively, for every white, male, Hillary supporter there are probably 100 white, young and middle aged female supporters.
   Hillary in the White House she will hang a big sign out front that says, "ACCESS TO THE PRESIDENT AND TAXPAYER SUPPORT FOR YOUR INTERESTS SOLD HERE. BRING YOUR CHECKBOOK!"  Why should she be any different as President than she was as Secretary of State?  You have to be pretty  naive  to believe that the foreign countries and corporations which contributed to Hillary's and Bill's expensive speeches and charitable foundations weren't paying for access to her.
   How's that going to work out for promoting employment in this country? You don't have to look further than the massive Green Energy giveaways. Half a billion for Solyndra? They just went bankrupt and walked away with taxpayer money.
   She'll be pining away for $15 an hour minimum wage for hamburger flippers and  Walmart people who are on the bottom rung. How is that going to effect the Emergency Medical Technician or Secretary who works for $14 an hour?  Their pay will have to rise, too, as will everyone else's in that income group. Increasing the minimum wage to $15 will definitely trigger inflation, it will definitely cause many small businesses to close or reduce activity and reduce numbers of employees, it will cause prices of most items and services to increase, and it could push us over a precipice where the slippery slope of inflation brings us to our knees as has happened in many other countries over the millennium. Once inflation starts it's roll the government doesn't have any means to stop it. It's like a dog trying to herd a bunch of elephants. Liberals think everything will be fine. They don't respect anything. Truthfulness, tradition, history, current world events...they all fall into the mix and from it Liberals draw whatever the flavor of the month is. They lack rhyme and reason, lacking appreciation for the consequences of their policies. They have no common sense. Liberals are the children of this relationship. Conservatives see that herd of elephants barely contained. Conservatives are the parents in this relationship. Conservatives appreciate the destructive consequences of liberal policies.
   It's the world in which we live. The struggle has been going on since time began and continues today. Civilizations have fallen and arisen based on conservative building and destructive, liberal mistakes. Think on it.

Maybe We Should Stop Stereotyping Liberals

   Maybe we should stop stereotyping certain types of people as Liberals and call them what they are...the mentally lazy. Being right is not an issue with them as long as they have someone else to attribute their "opinion" to. That's how they supposedly gain their notoriety, their power, their voice. Our President and John Kerry, our Secretary of State are parroting the "97%" nonsense as if it is true and many mentally lazy people just take that as "it must be true because he said it".
NONE of these politicians KNOW anything about climate change. They are not scientists. They only repeat things that they are told...and only what pushes their agendas.
   The good part is that there are people who actually look at the data and are willing to review contrary opinions and then draw our own conclusions. And THAT will be the bottom line for us until our own research produces a different conclusion. President Obama and John Kerry be damned. They have a  responsibility to be as accurate as possible and they are both abrogating these responsibilities,  spreading  unlikely conclusions and  consequences every day in every way to the world.
   I think that following the money serves us well to explain why. Listening to ALL of the scientists is what we ought to be doing and not buying the "97%" nonsense of our misleaders.
   Following is an article worth reading.  http://www.nationalreview.com/article/425232/climate-change-no-its-not-97-percent-consensus-ian-tuttle

There Are Effective Ways of Preventing Gun Violence

I didn't hear anything from Obama that would have prevented any of the mass murders we have had in the past few years. And I didn't hear any of the media people mention that.
They conducted background checks on me every time I purchased a gun at the gunshow in Ladson, SC. We are right about requiring background checks. Stupid not to.
A problem is that unstable people may not have any kind of criminal record. Is it right to put the responsibility on doctors? That's a hard sell. They are vulnerable. Though it probably won't work for particularly ignorant people, family service messages about keeping guns away from mentally ill and unstable people may work better than we think. Police can be encouraged to be proactive about collecting and storing guns from homes where those people live. When Mom has Junior's guns removed, he can file a complaint and a judge can decide if he's cool enough to have them. He'll have a hearing. I don't think there are many instances where this will happen. Not that many. But, all it takes is one unstable person to open fire every three or four months to keep the issue right on top. So, create a plan, get it out through public service modes...TV, Bill boards, churches, the news... get people talking about it. This would work for domestic abuse situations, too. We have reached a point where we really need to do something about it. Something effective. Meanwhile, Obama is gathering applause instead of doing something that will work. Where are the truly smart leaders?
