What I Am Voting For

By DR. BARRY ENGLAND, VMD

It is with a lot of question and concern as I wonder where all of you Never-Trumpers have been the last four years. Are you all so blind to all of the facts and are you so full of hate that you can not see what the political establishment and the Democratic Party have tried to do to our President Trump?

He has survived the completely false Russian collusion hoax, the Ukraine phone hoax, and the impeachment hoax. Now, in the last month or so, he has been accused of making disparaging remarks of the American military deceased in France and at Arlington National Cemetery.

John Bolton, who is not exactly a big supporter of the president at this time, has stated that the president never made the remarks credited to him. There was also a question of why the President did not go to a celebration of a World War II event. The weather was unflyable and it was too dangerous to drive to the event.

Both the French and the Arlington accusations were made by anonymous sources. It seems that anonymous sources thrive and grow in all the organic material that spews out of the occupants of our federal government.

And doesn’t it seem like such a strange coincidence that purported negative incidences from the past seem to pop up during the last month or so of an election campaign?

‘He is not perfect’

There is no doubt or argument that President Trump can be a real piece of work. His mouth at times runs faster than his thought process. He is not perfect, but we have never had a president that is perfect.

People, we are not voting for an individual or personality. Whether we like President Trump or not, we are voting for the policies and platform that he has already implemented or has proposed.

‘I am voting for ...’

I am voting for the Second Amendment (candidate Joe Biden said that he will appoint Beto O’Rourke as gun czar and he wants to take away our guns).

I am voting for the next Supreme Court justice. This maybe the most important reason to vote. We need justices that interpret the laws and not make the laws. Biden and running mate Kamala Harris won't say if they will pack the court with more justices, and in fact Biden has stated that it is not any of our business and he will not respond until after the election.

I am voting for the integrity of the electoral college. Democrats have already stated that they want to abolish the it.

I am voting for the First Amendment and my right to free speech and to practice my chosen religion.

I am voting for those who support Israel. Trump moved the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem and is a big supporter of Israel. Biden and former President Barack Obama were always very antagonistic toward Israel.

I am voting for a candidate that will not allow other world leaders to control him or set the tone for our international policies. An example is Trump insisting that our NATO partners pay their fair share for NATO expenses.

He also terminated NAFTA and signed the (USMCA) NSMCA trade agreement. This agreement will help to bring back manufacturing jobs to the U.S. and will help to open up more agricultural trade opportunities.

There are other numerous examples of Trump's policies that the Washington establishment does not agree with but these policies are working.

Pro-life and law and order

I am voting for our police and law and order. Biden and Harris did not even condemn all the riots that occurred the last six months or so until two to three months after they started to occur.

Biden, Harris, and other Democrats think that Antifa is just a figment of our imaginations and that it is not an organized group. Members of Harris's staff plus their Hollywood cronies actually established and donated funds to a fund that was set-up to bail out Antifa and Black Lives Matter (BLM) rioters from jail.

BLM was co-founded by a self-proclaimed Marxist, Patrisse Cullars, and she described herself and her fellow BLM co-founders as “trained Marxists.”

Biden and Harris are very slow to chastise these two terrorist groups because it would upset a portion of their supporters.

I am voting for our flag and the fact that it is being spit upon, burned, and dishonored by a bunch of lawless thugs. It may only be a flag, but it is a symbol of our great United States of America and of all the brave individuals who have served and fought and died to preserve our freedoms.

I am voting for every unborn soul that is at the risk of being aborted. Biden and Harris and most other Democrats believe that it is OK to terminate a life up to the time of birth and some even at birth.

No truly moral nation can continue to exist to exist that allows such heinous act to be performed. President Trump is no doubt the most pro-life president to ever occupy the White House.

I am voting to protect school children from the scourge of Leftist curricula. The “1619 Curricula” is being pushed for implementation in our schools. This curriculum basically changes the reasons for the establishment of the United States and takes away almost all the credit that our founding fathers have received down through our history.

It makes the assumptions that all Americans are racist. This works right into the Democratic narrative that if you do not agree with their policies, you are racist. Everyone should be cognizant what is being taught in our public schools and not allow this “1619 Curricula” to be added to our school history curricula.

Peace and veterans

I am voting for the continued peace process in the Middle East. Events are happening that Obama, Biden and Harris said were impossible. Biden is even trying to take credit for what has occurred so far in the peace process.

I am voting for someone that will work to bring our economy back to where it was before Wuhan, China, virus days. Trump’s economy was at a stage of success that the United States had possibly never seen. Unemployment was low, all wages were rising, and inflation was basically non-existent. Thankfully, at this time it seems to be coming back.

I am voting for the military and the veterans who have and are now fighting for our country. Obama and Biden basically left the military with underfunding and being under-equipped to meet our necessary needs and requirement for defense programs.

Defense is the number-one duty of our federal government. Trump has increased funding and has worked to update and develop better and more modern weaponry. He has worked to make the Veterans Administration more responsive to the needs and care of our veterans.

The veterans that I have talked to say they are being taken care of better now by the Trump Administration than before when Obama and Biden were in office.

Put aside concerns about personality

The biggest majority of active and retired military that I know are Trump supporters. I have read different articles written by military veterans and they will not vote for President Trump. I would like them and all other voters who say they will not vote for Trump to put aside any personality conflicts that they have with him and look at the alternative.

The Democratic ticket should be rightfully designated the Harris-Biden ticket. Biden will basically be president in name only. He is increasingly showing signs of memory loss and not being able to put together words in a sentence. I hope that I am wrong, but I do not think so.

Biden will be controlled by Harris, [Speaker of the House Nancy] Pelosi, [Senate Minority Leader Chuck] Schumer, AOC [U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez] and her squad of liberal leftists, and [Bernie] Sanders. You can be sure that BLM and Antifa will exert some influence. They all will instill their far-left and socialistic values into the highest echelon of our federal government and what a disaster that will be for our great country.

I cannot picture “President Harris,” not even in my worst nightmare. And as speaker of the house, Pelosi is next in line. What a disaster for our social, moral, and institutional values that would be.

Remember, these individuals have almost all espoused the values of socialism. Remember, there is very little difference, if any, between communism, Marxism, and socialism.

Remember, people, you are not voting for the person, but you are voting for their platform. Do you want a conservative platform or do you want a liberal socialistic platform? It is your choice. I hope that you make the right choice.

Allow me to give you a piece of advice. If you want the real news about what is going on in the swamp and the deep state, do not depend on CNN, MSNBC, CBS, NPR, or ABC to give you the whole story. Please tune into either Fox News or Newsmax and get the rest of the story completely unabridged and complete.
