The Soul of America.

The Soul of America

     Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders, Michael Bloomberg and the rest of the Democrats have all used the phrase they are fighting for the soul of America.  True words.  The problem is they seem to have forgotten  what the soul of America is. 

     They are quick to judge and say that Republicans and Trump supporter are Deplorable, less Educated, ignorant, dont have college educations.  Just their very statements should be example enough of why we should be afraid of electing them.  We elect them.  They work for us. They are not there to impose their ideas and beliefs on us.  They are their with the express responsibility to govern as we see fit.  They have forgotten what the soul of America is.

Republicans and Trump supporters may very well be less educated than their Democratic counterparts.  So be it.  If believing in the American Dream, that America supplies the opportunity for you to live your best life.  To Work hard enough to find your American dream.  To live in a country where you can own a gun, either for protection or to hunt or as a private collector.  To live in a country where we can earn enough money to pay a reasonable amount for health care and insurance and be able to purchase a home.  To live in a country where we can enjoy hobbies, camping, racing, horses, hiking, etc.  To live in a country where we can have Choices on how we live our lives. 

The American dream does not include making enough money to pay for others to recieve free health care. It does not include making enough money to pay for other people to attend college and make bad life choices.  It does not include letting the government take our hard earned money and give it to those who refuse to be responsible for their own bad decisions.  The American dream does allow for us to make enough money to donate to causes that are near and dear to our hearts.  Which will all come to an end when the government takes that money and makes those choices for us.  Free health care due to catastrophic illness due to cancer or disease is one thing.  Free health care due to ones bad life choices is something entiely different altogether.  I already have to pay a premium due to other peoples poor life choices while I was growing up, I dont intend to spend more money for others peoples poor life choices now. 

According to the World Giving Index the United States ranks Second in the most benevolent countries in the world.  Seems to me that we do a pretty good job of giving money to the less fortunate already. 

When the Democrats talk about being in a fight to save the soul of America they are most definitely correct.   The problem is they are the ones that are trying to steal the soul of America and turn us into a welfare country.  They would be perfectly happy iif the U.S. turned into one giant slum filled with happy yet ignorant individuals educated by a system with lower standards, giving no time to cover the history of this country so that we can continue to evolve by looking back on our past mistakes. 

This is probably the most important election of my lifetime.  Win or lose I do not intend to let the government and racist, bigoted, single minded individuals take my civil rights away from me.
