Dear Democratic Presidential candidates,
Where have our leaders gone? I pose this question to you following what unfolded on stage at the most recent Democratic Presidential debate. Ten candidates, all with the ability and opportunity to set themselves apart from the rest and what was put forth to we the people was a failed attempt by all. This was exemplified from the start. Dedicating your opening statement to your hate of the current President rather then explaining how you will help this country is the reason why none of you will ever call the White House home.
When an opportunity presented itself for a candidate to share an idea, instead of eloquently making a point, you chose to attack the current President with name calling and accusations. You know, the very thing that you condone him for doing. This was emphasized by the use of the words “racist", “bigot” and “white supremacist" when describing the current resident of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue….How very Presidential of you.
Your hostility towards the President was only matched by your disdain of the Second Amendment. Threats of confiscation and hostility towards a vast number of the voting population is not the best way to attract support. The founders of this great nation put checks and balances in place to prevent this or any other infringement on our Constitution. You see, one person is not greater then the whole. This applies to all who hold the highest office in the land.
The two words most presented to the viewing public were “free” and “crisis”. These media driven buzzwords can be inserted for a number of topics such as education, the border, race, climate, student loans and healthcare. It just depends in what content you are using them in.
What last night did accomplish was that it fortified that you are all out of touch with the American people. What was presented were broad strokes ideas, with no meaning or plan of action behind them. We as a nation are tired of the rhetoric on both sides. Leadership is not who yells the loudest, uses insults to get a point across or pushes agendas of your own. It is the ability to take a nation divided and make it whole. It’s standing up and doing what is right, even when others say it’s wrong. It is listening and respecting views other then your own. It’s facing adversity and knowing that we will triumph through all.
At the end of the day, the only thing that matters is the are four simple words…One flag, three colors. Find me someone who still believes in this and I will show you someone who is fit to lead this great nation. God Bless…
Ps. It has been a long while since I have sat down and put my thoughts into words for y’all and I am sorry about that. Life sometimes gets in the way of inspiration but am going to try and devote more to the latter and remember….. This wasn't a piece supporting the Donald but the majority of people commenting will make it that.
