The Progressive Millennial

The Progressive Millennial apparently goes to Ivy Tech.  He is about 20, years old and has a condescending tone.  When I was asked by this student if I worship Reagan I was apparently stunned by the question.  I was stunned by the question because I knew the answer in my head.  NO.  I do not worship Reagan.  I was five when he became President.  I only know a few sound bites about the man.  I know he had a friendship with Gorbachev, his wife had a "Just say no" program that I had to sit through during school assemblies and he bombed Libya and after that I had not heard anything since the attack on Benghazi.  All things I respected about President Reagan.  I am a conservative.  I do not worship anyone other than God. 

     I explained my stance of who I was as a conservative.  I am a conservative.  I am 41, years old, a mom, husband, daughter and friend.  I believe in Jesus.  I am for smaller government and I am pro-life.  I do not buy into the idea of because you do not want the baby that it is something of a burden.  There are people out there that would be proud to give a child a home. I have a friend of mine that is also a fellow blogger who went clear across the world because God was calling her to adopt a child from Serbia.  This is love.  Love is obeying what the Holy Spirit is telling you to do.  Yes its a feeling but it is more of an action and a show of faith.  These are my beliefs as a conservative.  My faith does not make me perfect it makes me forgiven.  I am forgiven, but I am not perfect. 

     This young man had a perception of me that I honestly didn't help to dismantle by my use of language.  Yes, I am angry.  I am angry because when I debate someone who is 20 years my junior felt the need to compare me with the Trump supporters that are over the top because of their anger.  I really hate to say it, but I get the anger.  When the Progressive Millennial who is not an American and wants to leave lecturing me about my conservatism with anger and hate then I become defensive and angry as well.  There will never be a moment that I forget the looks that I see when people look at me with disgust because of my NRA MOM bumper sticker.  I do not forget the moments when my children were brought into a conversation online with malice towards me.  I do not forget reading how Dana Loesch and children were threatened.  The hate will end this country.  The Progressive Millennial will be the down fall of this country because their inability to get along in this world without a handout or a feel good government policy to get them through life has been manifested into the Bernie or Trump supporter.  I get the Trump supporter.  There is a better way to channel the angry of the country's downfall.

Dear Donald Trump

Dear Mr. Donald J. Trump,

     I am surprised  that you have made it this far in order to become a viable contender.  I guess that anyone who has announced their candidacy for the highest office in the land is a viable contender.  Mr. Trump you are something special.  Its amazing that you are still around after cursing on the campaign trail, implying that Megyn Kelly is a bimbo, Ted Cruz is a P@%$* and demeaning Rubio by calling him "little Rubio".  It is amazing that people still support you.  It is what you said to a reporter that really turned me off from the start.  The below link is from TheYoungTurks.

     As a Christian my right to worship is very important to me.  This is extended to all persons of faith.  It is part of my of faith and a citizen of this country to support others right to worship as they please.  There is never any point in this country where a certain group should be on any kind of registry or data base.  This happened in World War II after Pearl Harbor to the Japanese.  This is not who we are and we should never repeat the past.  Americans as well as yourself Mr. Trump seem to have forgotten our nations past and the world's past (Hitler's registry of the Jewish people). 
     Yes I will pray for your safety and the safety of your family if you should become our President.  I have done so for all Presidents even though I may disagree with a particular President.  The campaign is about showing people that you can be presidential not a showman or that you pay attention to sound bites.  This is what you are a walking Fox News sound bite.  I like Fox News.  Congrats.  Hillary Clinton will probably be President.  I can not imagine the overwhelming evil that will be brought to this country during a Donald J. Trump Administration.

Thank you for your time.  The actual probability that you will read this is a million to one. 

Good Luck

Tuesdays in 2016

     It is another Tuesday in America.  This year in 2016, we Americans are being bombarded by debates.  On this particular Tuesday is yet another group of primaries.  There seems to be a small minority who may care about this process.  I guess I can't say a small minority because Trump supporters seem to be just following instead of actually looking long and hard at the candidate of their dreams. 
     Although, I disagree with them I understand the anger that persist in America today.  The choice of who they are calling a conservative seems odd.  Trump brings to the table years of financially supporting Democrats such as, Hillary Clinton for his own gain.  He supports single payer healthcare and is a big supporter of the healthcare mandate.  The same mandate that says if you don't have healthcare you have to pay for it at tax time.  Barry and I had to pay $500, so we have felt this burden.  We are not fans. There has to be a better candidate.  In my eyes there is in the name of Ted Cruz. 
     Ted Cruz is my guy because he has been consistent since his Senate race in Texas.  I love his 10% across the board tax rate.  All of this being said if Ted Cruz is not nominated I will not support Trump.  I will vote Libertarian.  Does this mean a Hillary Presidency?  Yes, I can't vote for someone I don't believe in and I will as I did with Obama in 2012,  I wish her well.  I will pray for her safety and the safety of her family.  Cruz has my support until such a scenario takes place.

Praying for Sanity

     We are at a milestone on Super Tuesday. This is because today a good number of states in the union will be voting in primaries and caucuses. These states have a choice between the Constitution and a fascist and two socialist. Donald Trump has called women names, said that he is going to register Muslims, cursed and here lately will not disavow David Duke who was a leader of the KKK. The idea of this man saying he is a Christian is laughable to me. Then I leave that last bit to God to take control. All of this is in God’s control. 
     What can we do as a people who love our country and as Christian? It is pretty simple. We can pray. In one of Paul’s letters he writes to pray in everything and to never quit praying. I am not a Bible scholar, so I am paraphrasing. Today’s Super Tuesday and we can leave it up to God’s will. If it doesn’t go our way regardless pray again and praise God. There is a lesson here. We are giving what is God’s to man. We are giving our rights and even our relationship with God is going to man. Think about what you are willing or not willing to give up. My life is not for sell. #ChooseCruz if that doesn’t work out #FeeltheJohnson
