I'll be 66 next month and my only Son is 40. He and his wife are voting for Hillary, I, on the other hand always vote Republican. I find it safer doing so. I'm a Conservative. In my opinion, the Republican party today isn't conservative enough but, what can you do? The Dems are too liberal for me. I can't even imagine voting for any of them, ever. Anyway, I asked my Son, "Why are you voting for Hillary?" The answer is, there is no answer. I asked him, "What has Hillary accomplished?" Suddenly, I hear a "Cricket Choir." He doesn't know how to answer those two simple questions. It's not because he's not intelligent, after all, he's a College Graduate and has an excellent job. He received a Degree in College and received EXCELLENT grades.
My opinion is, the liberal Colleges today are "Politically brainwashing" the students. They go in one way and come out another? It's almost as if we as parents should be looking for "Giant seed Pods in the Closet." (Reference to the Sci-Fi movie: "Invasion of the Body Snatchers") Only the Baby Boomers will understand my, using that movie as a reference. My Son grew up in a Christian home. His Mom is Conservative, as well. The same thing happened to my Sisters Son. (He's 30) He graduated from College and is a smart kid. However, he can't hold down a job, he's a know-it-all, and he enjoys a Hippy lifestyle. Hair way down past his shoulders, long beard, he loves to go to the "Burning Man rituals", dancing, climbing up in trees and sitting there contemplating the Universe, a devout Athiest, and doesn't believe in bodily hygiene. Deodorant for him is like Kryptonite to Superman or Garlic Cloves to a Vampire.
Two kids, a decade apart yet, one is productive in society and the other isn't. Yet, they both hold to liberal views. The common denominator is, They both went to College and Graduated successfully. Also, they're both very intelligent. However, my Nephew, the 30-year-old lacks common sense and smells up a room.
My Sister, a few years younger than me, has difficulty dealing with her Son (My Nephew) they both fight like Cats and Dogs. He and I get along great because he really respects me. My Sister and her Husband are well off and basically have to "Carry their Son Along" financially. My Son and I get along great, however, if I try and talk about religion or politics, he clam's up. I bought him a Bible about a year ago and I don't even know if he has taken it out of the shrinkwrap? When he was a little guy, he RAN up to the podium in the Church and received Christ as his Savior. At least I think he did. His Mom and I have our doubts now.
His Mom and I are very close friends however, we divorced in 1985. I never remarried. So, there you have it, a little BIO of my life, thus far. I have two Grandkids, a boy, and a girl. I fear for them if Hillary gets into office and the liberals take control. It appears that War might be closer than we can even imagine. On one side we have the Russians and Red Chinese, on the other side, we have North Korea and Iran. All of these potential enemies have Nuclear capabilities. No one can guarantee that one or more of these "Enemies" will decide to use those weapons? All it would take is another Pearl Harbor attack on American soil or a few shot down Jet fighters, and it's ON. The likelihood of it turning into a Nuclear exchange is within the realm of possibilities today.
