Meet the Chicken Hawks
VERY interesting link. You would be AMAZED (or maybe you wouldn't) how many of those Republicans who sound the drum beat of war, love war, support war AS LONG AS THEY do not serve. Click here (or on the link below) if you want to see who has served and who has not. I think I am correct when I say more -- many more -- Republicans hid from the draft, got deferments or did not serve while they did and still do their damnedest to make sure other less powerful people's children fight and die on the battlefield. It is scandalous to say the least.
Contemplating the Alternative
Make NO mistake about it electing racist Know
Nothing religious extremist irrational science deniers will mean a country will
be reduced to near third world status where the rights of women, minorities,
the disabled and the poor are reactionarily eviscerated. It will mean the
steady decline and obliteration of the environment. It will mean a right wing extremist Supreme
Court the likes of which our country has not seen since the 1857 Justice Taney Dred Scott Supreme Court decision ruling
the black man was property and not a person.
This time the court will overturn a woman’s right to choose. It will keep corporations as people and will
ensure the oligarchy that exists today will remain in place for God knows how
many generations. It will mean the 99%
will not overcome the economic forces of the richest 1% evil that smother them
by keeping a larger and larger piece of the economic pie through nefarious,
illegal and immoral means while the majority eat cake, develop diseases we
cannot afford with no health care to treat them and no one TO care. Only
death will await.
This is the most important election I have ever witnessed in my decades of witnessing many. Defeat of the president is NOT an option. The Republican opposition MUST be defeated by all means necessary for you, for me, for your children and for their children! There is, indeed, too much at stake to even contemplate the alternative.
