This is all pretty basic, so it is not meant to inform, butis meant to start an exchange of ideas about how I made a decision on aPresidential candidate amid all of the craziness. Perhaps you found other issuesthat lead you to your choice. How does one make an intelligent decision here? Your ideas please …
I won’t vote for Donald Trump, but he will get my vote. Neither candidate has shown themselves to be Presidential so how to decide? The overriding choice that I see is whether one wants a Globalist (Hillary) or a Nationalist (Donald) as our next President. All other issues are secondary at best.
In Hillary’s vision, a Global One World Order would assume ultimate command over all elements of governance. Yes, all current levels of government could continue to exist, but the reality would be that the path our country (and the world) would eventually follow would be determined by the World Government. Decisions which are currently made in Washington would be subject to review and possible rejection by the new higher authority. Actually, this New World authority could even bypass Washington completely in their determinations as it saw fit.
In Donald’s Nationalist vision, another layer of government is not wanted or needed. Donald would consider the interests of our Nation as primary, and will fight for those national interests when necessary. Obviously our current system of government is much more compatible with the Nationalist approach. It has served us well through wars and depression. We understand this approach and support (if always whole heartedly) this approach.
However, as outlined in this country’s founding documents, the individual is the arbitrator of their own life. Why then is there a need to surrender more and more of our lives to Washington? Our government was purposely set up to do a few specific things and all else was to be left to the states and the individual. This is where the tug-of-war existed since the nation was founded.
Now, in the last 20 years or so, the Globalists have surfaced with the idea that Nationalism needs to be replaced by something that is more accepting of other people, other ideas, other religions, other traditions, and the list goes on, and on. But the reality that is feared by many is that all of these things would ultimately be controlled by the Globalists, so these things will not be able to flourish as they can now. The end result would be one-world-order (i.e. we would all be the same).
Now that you know how I arrived at my decision. What will beguiding your own decision?
