WE FORGET WHO WE ARE. OR ARE NOT.

• WE ARE NOT A COUNTRY WHO DOES NOT WELCOME PEOPLE TO OUR SHORES. IF WE ARE SUCH A COUNTRY, WE SHOULD SELL THE STATUE OF LIBERTY TO SOMEONE MORE WORTHY. NONE OF US WOULD BE HERE IF TRUMP WERE IN CHARGE. OUR GREAT-GREAT GRANDPARENTS WOULD HAVE BEEN TURNED AWAY. I GUESS TRUMP FORGETS WHERE WE ALL CAME FROM. NOT MUCH OF A HISTORY STUDENT. NOT MUCH OF A HUMAN BEING.
• BUILD A WALL. THERE'S A NOVEL APPROACH TO LIFE. USED UNSUCCESSFULLY BY HOW MANY COUNTRIES? WE SHOULD BE BUILDING BRIDGES, NOT WALLS. LET TRUMP BUILD IT WITH HIS MONEY. WE NEED TO STOP PAYING TAXES FOR SUCH STUPIDITY. THIS IS NOT WHO WE ARE.
• WE DESTROY THE EARTH FOR PROFIT. THIS HAS ALWAYS BEEN FASHIONABLE, BUT IS ACCELERATING AT AN UNPRECEDENTED PACE. THE REPUBLICANS DON'T BELIEVE WE ARE KILLING OURSELVES. I WONDER WHAT THEY TELL THEIR GRAND-KIDS?  "SORRY, MONEY OUTRANKS LIFE. WAVE THE FLAG AND SING THE SONG, CAUSE PRETTY SOON, YOU'RE GOING TO BE GONE."
• GUNS WILL MAKE US SAFE AND MORE SECURE. THE ONLY THING GUNS ARE GOING TO DO IS MAKE US DEAD. I WISH THESE GUN CRAZED, RIGHT-WING, CHRISTIAN, REPUBLICANS WOULD ONLY SHOOT EACH OTHER, BUT UNFORTUNATELY, THAT'S NOT HOW IT'S GOING TO WORK. WE WILL ALL PAY FOR THIS MADNESS. THAT'S NOT WHO WE ARE.
• POLICE DECK THEMSELVES OUT LIKE THEY ARE FROM THE INFANTRY. THIS WILL NOT WIN OVER OUR TRUST AND RESPECT. MAKES IT LOOK LIKE WE ARE HEADED FOR A POLICE STATE. THIS IS NOT US.
• KILLING BY REMOTE CONTROL IS NOT THE WAY IT SHOULD BE. IF YOU HAVE TO LOOK THE ENEMY IN THE EYE, HOPEFULLY YOU WOULD THINK TWICE BEFORE PULLING THE TRIGGER. THEY DON'T WANT YOU TO THINK THIS IS SOMEONE'S SON OR DAUGHTER, HUSBAND OR WIFE, MOTHER OR FATHER, AUNT OR UNCLE, FRIEND. BETTER TO THINK OF THEM AS GOOKS, OR KRAUTS, OR TOWEL HEADS, OR SLANT EYES. TODAY IT IS FASHIONABLE TO THINK OF THEM AS TERRORISTS. I WONDER WHAT THEY CALL US? 
• IN A DEMOCRACY, THOSE WHO GET THE MOST VOTES SHOULD WIN. THERE IS NO REASONABLE ARGUMENT AGAINST THAT.
• CAPITALISM IS NOT CONDUCIVE WITH DEMOCRACY. IT DOES NOT WORK. LOOK OUTSIDE. ALLOWING PEOPLE AND PEOPLE CORPORATIONS TO MAKE UNLIMITED AMOUNTS OF MONEY DOES NOT WORK. GET OVER IT BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE, WHICH IT MAY ALREADY BE. THE FEW WILL BUY THE GOVERNMENT. GREED IS TOO MUCH OF AN INCENTIVE TO WALK AWAY FROM. OUR POLITICIANS TURN BAD NOT BECAUSE THEY ARE BAD PEOPLE, BUT BECAUSE THEY CANNOT WITHSTAND THE TEMPTATION TO GET RICH. IN CAPITALISM, RICH IS GOOD. IN THE BIBLE, RICH IS BAD. THEY FORGET THEY CALL THEMSELVES CHRISTIANS. 
• WHEN YOU COMBINE RELIGION WITH POLITICS, ALL YOU GET IS STINK. YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT.
