Presidential Qualities
What do people want in a President? People want more than a good business person, more than a fearless leader, more than a patriotic and intelligent statesman, what they want is a person who embodies all theses qualifications, but in addition one who exemplifies in name, character, ambition, dedication, independence, a record (having one people can relate positively to), love of country, and purpose. This is the exact opposite of the current Administration. And the exact opposite of the values and history of the remnant from the current Administration vying for this prestigious and important office.
This Administration (Biden/Harris) has championed (my top 20):
- open borders,
- profligate inflationary spending,
- elections open to any wishing to vote (to include non-citizens),
- a weak military, questionable foreign policies demonstrating less than a firm hand on world issues and hotbeds of political strife that can explode into war without warning,
- a penchant for creating a dependent society,
- oppressive regulations,
- purchasing oil from foreign sources, when America can be (and was) totally energy independent
- financial support for illegals as an inducement for more to arrive,
- an orientation favoring millions of illegals over the needs of veterans, victims of disasters, and citizens in general,
- actively campaigning for amnesty (citizenship) for millions living here in violation of our laws,
- welcoming criminal elements without tracking their movements,
- ignorance of America’s homeless problems by using money and drugs as if that can provide a solution (actually making matters worse),
- hiring practices that do not employ the best and brightest for essential agencies and departments (DEI),
- an emotional, non-scientific, focus on climate control engendering regulations which alter the effectiveness and efficiency of everyday items and appliances while dramatically increasing their cost (this includes Electric Vehicles - EVs),
- soft on crime elements,
- a DOJ with an eye on political opponents and their supporters more than We The People,
- employing rhetoric to garner favorability without follow through,
- continued implementation and support for programs adverse to family values and unity,
- efforts to legislate immorality, with an emphasis on secularism over religious practices outside government,
- and a leadership with questionable abilities or dedication to tasks.
Do you want this to continue under Kamala, as you know it will. Even if Trump is not the person you like, is he the better choice? For me the answer is yes.
