Elect Any Democrat to White House, Be Less Safe and Less Private

We Americans are badly split along lines of belief. There is a large group of Americans who dislike, if not outright hate, this country. The 'others', which is where I put myself, recognize that our nation is not perfect, but also see clearly that it is still the best thing out there compared to all the others.

Now, these are my opinions about the inherent dangers of electing any Democrat to the presidency, basically ever since the Jimmy Carter disaster.
First, we as a nation  become less safe. Democrats cut defense spending and form international agreements or alliances or not based on some other criteria than providing for our mutual defense or even shared mutual interests. Then they skew internal security concerns to promote things that have nothing to do with security and that do not keep anyone safe. To the contrary, things sometimes happen as a result of their overt or inadvertent inaction that endangers people.
Examples: 
1 The Benghazi attack on September 11 of all days. That was a totally unnecessary sacrifice of Americans by an administration callously ignoring the realities of the situation there while pushing a hard campaign that the Republicans are the danger to America. 
2 Egypt is where they welcomed the Muslim Brotherhood takeover with president-for-life Morsi pushing Islamic theocracy and Sharia on an ancient nation that did not want it--not the executions that follow nor the horrible interpretations of criminality that are always there. Ask any rape victim, after she is lashed or imprisoned because she could not find four male witnesses to support her claim.

3 Syria is where the amateur nature of the Obama administration came to the fore in  the most forceful manner. Obama used the term "red line" (on video so watch for a sound bite near you) and then did absolutely nothing. Does not seem to have consulted his national security apparatchiks nor Pentagon types nor the CIA. Just threw out the remark and went golfing, probably.

One year later he denied ownership of his red line and said it was the world's red line. And something the world should do something about. As in something. There is no specificity or outline of what should happen or must happen and so on.

And privacy issues? They are using the Internal Revenue Service against citizens and citizen groups they want to punish. Think of it, use of government agencies for political ends. It is so chilling and un-American, or it used to be. 

Now they are in charge for the time being and the leashes have slipped on the workers in government who agree with them. And since government work is such a good fit for so many of them they have lined the agencies of government with similar thinkers, now becoming operatives to advance their favorite brand of governing. 

I call it the knows better than anyone else do-gooder type where they should be telling all of us just how to live and speak and act.

As if there were no First Amendment.

It's scary.

The Political Class Today

Pres. Obama said it yesterday-we can't have elites who have more rights than the rest of us.
Who is he kidding?
This is what politicians have been morphing into over the last fifty years.
Let's say a young motorist is stopped by police and is deemed under the influence. What happens to young person? The answer is, it depends on who his parent is, and of course the political affiliation of the officer or the interests of the police department and its superiors.
Literally.
Now is this a knock on Democrats? The answer is "sometimes." It can go either way. In places where this happens, it depends on who is in charge.
We are supposed to be a nation governed by law, not men, and "without fear or favor" but we have lost this.
It is gone.
We now have an entrenched ruling class with privileges apart from those of the rest of us.
Look at Congressional pensions and health care. It is something the rest of the US does not have and that they will NOT GIVE UP when they push "universal health care" on the rest of us.
We will be stuck in crowded waiting rooms with all the coughers while they go to their taxpayer-funded special facilities.
After all, their positions make them more important than the rest of us so they should get special treatment. Of course.
They have the laws they write to ensure their perpetual reelection, and they hold on until it is time to pass the position on to their heirs.
We will always have Senators named Kennedy and Biden, for these are dynasties now.
I think it is a terrible shame, too, that we have lost our way as a nation.
