Women May Decide the 2016 Election ... For All the Wrong Reasons

The women vote has been a key factor in the last several presidential elections and is shaping to play an important role in the 2016. The recent "dust up" between Donald Trump and Megyn Kelly however demonstrates that their influence may be a deciding factor for all the wrong reasons. While it is understandable that women would be upset with Trump''s treatment of Kelly and his previous insensitive comments, the country isn't threatened by disrespectful treatment of women. If that were that case, Bill Clinton should have been completely unacceptable to women voters yet they supported him overwhelmingly. Similarly, Kelly's pressing of Republican candidates over their stance on abortion is emotionally charged but irrelevant. The next president will have little influence over the future of abortion rights in America. Since Roe v. Wade, any rollback of abortion rights in the U.S. would require an amendment to the U.S. Constitution which is very unlikely. Lastly, many women appear to be ready to support Hillary Clinton largely because many feel it is time for a women president of the United States. It may be true that it is time for a women president but Hillary would be a terrible choice. A huge percentage of those polled find her untrustworthy and dishonest - for good reason - she is untrustworthy and dishonest and despite her list of non-accomplishment "accomplishments" she is not qualified. We can't afford another unqualified "it's time for" president. If women feel compelled to vote for a women, they should take a serious look at Carly Fiorina, the former CEO of Hewlett Packard - a candidate who has real accomplishments to her name.

At a time when 90 million Americans have given up looking for work; 45 million Americans are on food stamps; 1 in 5 children in the U.S. are living below the poverty line; we are 17 trillion dollars in debt with 160 trillion in unfunded liabilities; ISIS is expanding unchecked in the Middle East and murdering Christians by the thousands; Iran is on the verge of getting nuclear weapons, and Russia and China are aggressively increasing their influence around the world, there are far more important issues than disrespectful language. American women need to vote with their heads in 2016 so that their hearts will be rewarded with a safer, more prosperous, and more just America for themselves and their families in the future.

Democrat Open Border Policy Pushes Black to Back of the Bus

I have never been able to understand why the overwhelming majority of African Americans support the Democrat Party. After all, this is the party of slavery, the KKK, Jim Crow laws, a welfare system that has systematically destroyed the black family and abortion on demand that has resulted in the alarming statistic that today 50% of black pregnancies end in abortion. These last two issues have been the most insidious.

In 1965 when President Johnson outlined his "Great Society", only about 24% of African American children were born out of wedlock. Today, that number is more than 70%. According to the US Census Bureau, the African American population was 10.5% of the US total in 1960. Today it is only 13%. During the same period, the birth rate for African Americans plummeted from 4.2 births per women to only 2 births per women. The high rate of abortion among black women is obviously a major contributing factor. In fact, the founder of Planned Parenthood, Margaret Sanger, often said in her writings that two of the main goals of birth control are weeding undesirables from the population and eradicating the Negro race. It is obvious that Democrat welfare and abortion policies have had a particularly deleterious effect on America's black citizens. Although not eradicated, the African American population in America has suffered under Democrat policies.

The Democrats' most recent scheme to keep African Americans at the bottom of the principle minority groups in the U.S. is their open borders policies and the attempt to legalize millions of illegal aliens. Since they take their African American constituents for granted, they are going to buy the Latino vote and American Blacks will be the ones who pay the bill. Blacks will still be 13% of our population and Hispanics will suddenly be more than 20%.

When I was in high school, I worked as a laborer in construction during the summer. There were a few other white high school kids and the rest African Americans.  Today, if you walk past a construction site, you won't see any white or black laborers. They have all been replaced by Hispanics. That would be fine if white youth and African American workers were finding other employment and the Latinos were working here legally. However, that simply isn't the case.

After the mid-term election, President Obama has vowed to grant amnesty to millions of illegals - the majority of them from Mexico and Central America. What the president will in essence be saying is, "Rosa get on to the back of the bus. Jose gets your seat!"
