Making a Giant Leap
Today is Leap Day. It occurs every four years, but I feel that this year
is a very important Leap Year. This year America faces a decision that on
the surface seems easy, but is proving very difficult. This Presidential
Election is more important than any election in recent history. No, this
is not a political piece, I Feel the Bern but this isn't a giant campaign ad.
This year's election has lots of candidates who varying ideals and even
more varying ethics and morals. This year's election will be a battle for
the soul of America. We are going to make a decision as a nation about
how we want to be seen on a national stage.
Making America Great Again
If
you don't understand or are disillusioned about what this means I implore you
to look at the recent events that have transpired. Donald J. Trump has
received the endorsement of David Duke, former Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux
Klan. Let's take a moment and think about that. Notwithstanding
Trump's refusal to denounce the endorsement, the fact that David Duke believes
Donald Trump represents his interests is terrifying. If you are judged by the
company you keep, then we should take a close look at the company you attract.
Normally, I respect everyone's opinion whether or not I agree with it,
but in this case enough is enough. If
you support Donald Trump currently, you are seriously lacking perspective or
you are a person with hatred in your heart and that is something that is
between you and whatever deity you recognize, but you need Jesus. I normally try to keep my personal religious
views out, and present all the evidence to support my opinion, but this is an editorial
so you can just deal with it.
Making America Great Again means Making America White
Again. Personally, that is not in my
best interest. I refuse to be subjugated
and treated even more like a second class citizen. America is a long way from
equality, but electing Donald Trump as President feels reminiscent of Jim Crow.
It’s time for America to get off its ass and do something. #AnyonebutTrump is what’s going to get him
elected. We need to stand up with one
clear voice and shout down the voices of hatred, bigotry, misogyny, xenophobia, class-ism, color-ism, prejudice, cultural division, and every other negative
spirit that has possessed this country for too long. Donald Trump’s
presidential campaign seems to be the embodiment of all these spirits and
ideals and it’s time out for that.
This is a public denouncement of Donald Trump and his followers (at this point it’s akin to a
cult and we should treat it that way.)
America doesn’t need you or your archaic and ignorant ideals. America needs someone who will act in its
best interests and in the best interests of its people.
Take a Giant Leap Forward
