I was taught that you had a sacred duty to protect and help you neighbors. Trump stands to destroy everything that I was told was what our way of life demanded of every citizen. This was the American way; justice for all, duty, love and peace.

I remember what our parish priest said regarding elections. He said do you see the two flags, one on the left is the papal flag and it stands for our commitment to the teaching of Jesus and the flag on your right is the flag our nation that is committed to ensuring that the right to worship of people of all faiths must be protected. That is why it is just as solemn a duty to become informed and exercise the right to vote in order to protect the rights of every citizen of our nation. We are bless with rights that only a fraction of the people of this world enjoy. If you don't protect them, they can vanish and you will be living in desperation and your right to your beliefs vanish. How many of our congregation had father brothers, cousins give their life in order that we can enjoy the right to be here today? Let their sacrifice not be in vain. I am not telling you how to vote, but that it is just as demanded you live by and fulfill this duty as your Christian duties to your fellow mankind.

I can only provide a brief and inadequate account of this man's eloquence, sincerity and his ability for motivation. That fact was that our precinct, which was predominately Catholic, had the highest voter turnout year after year. It has amazed me just how powerful one person's voice can have on inspiring us. He was a good man and one I admire and miss. Someone who actually walk the walk.

But I don't promise to watch all of it, as I usually turn him off pretty quick. I have become lately fascinated with the depth of his depravity and indifference to ethical behavior. How that man can live with himself is a complete mystery to me. He has allowed himself to embrace evil and indifference to the suffering of others.

He was noted to be intractable when proven to be wrong, a child that stoned the neighbors baby in a play pen and whose parents feared the Trumps. A juvenile delinquent the was sent off to a military boarding school. A bully that attempted to shove a cadet out the second floor window of the dorm and only stopped by other cadets. A draft dodger whose father arranged with a bribe to get him out or service with a phony medical claims. A man that has been a dedicated racists his entire life and refused to rent to Blacks and was fined numerous times. He rode into the White House on his racist rants that Obama was a Muslin and not an American citizen endearing himself to the racists that dominate the mainstream of the Republican Party while his fellow Republicans gave his lies silent approval with the lone exception of McCain.

I mean, bless her dear heart. But I doubt the Orange Pig will resist mentioning her again - for the 1000th time.

Besides, using tragedies for cheap political points is right up his alley.

probably missed the recent ones, but when He was alive, I bought all their music. To me Brian May is still the best guitarist I have ever heard.

I first heard Queen in 1974. Keep Yourself Alive from the debut album was the first song I heard. We tried to play it live. Disaster.

we're plagued with. This guy is making the country fall apart and be angry at everybody.
I can't take the stress anymore.
I want to shut him out but we can't because we have to guard the hen house at this point.

This toddler needs to resign so we can prosecute him to the fullest.

I can take short sound bites, but only if the reporting is opposed to him. But I won’t willingly listen to him directly anymore. If he comes on I immediately mute him. My body and mind have reached their intolerance level with the sound of his voice.
