The upcoming presidential election. This decision is not as difficult as it may seem at first glance.

Yes. on the surface it may appear to be the decision from hell, a choice between two of the most despicable individuals ever to walk the face of the earth. On the one hand we have the congenital liar Hillary Clinton who is as crooked as a dog's hind leg and one of the most corrupt individuals ever to seek public office. On the other, we have the crud, boorish, ego-maniac Donald Trump. In a world that was not upside down, this clown could not be elected dog catcher. But, I would argue. we do live in an upside down world, and I believe we must look beyond the distasteful characters running for president and consider what will happen if one of them is actually elected president. Here, the options are clear, straight forward and indisputable. With Clinton, we will get at least four more years of the same feckless leadership of the Obama administration including a further weakening of our already porous borders; a continuation of our flagging economy; and further down-sizing of our military. There is a chance, although slim, that our country could whether this part of the impending storm. Unfortunately, these considerations will be small potatoes if crooked Hillary is elected president. The upcoming appointments to the Supreme Court are of far greater significance and, by far and away, the most important reason a liberal demorat like Hillary Clinton should not be elected president at this particular time in American history. As we all know, the present court is now divided four to four along liberal and conservative (constitutional) lines. The first priority of the next president will be to nominate a replacement for the recently deceased conservative jurist Anthony Scalia. This will be the most important appointment to the Supreme Court in the past 100 years, maybe ever! But it gets worse after that, a lot worse! The average age of the members now sitting on the court is now 140 years (only a slight exaggeration). Thus, over the next four years, it is likely that two or three additional members of the court will succumb to old age or totter off to retirement. Thus, a liberal president will have the opportunity to stack the court with like minded ant-constitutional, anti-gun, anti-military socialists that will bastardize the highest court in the land for at least the next 30 to 40 years. But this is just the beginning of the horrendous possibilities of a liberal presidency at this crucial point of time in American history. The next president will be in a position to nominate, and have confirmed, hundreds of federal court judges who will bring their liberal philosophy into every nook and cranny of American life. These liberal weasels will undermine and destroy every vestige of American life as we and our forefathers knew it. At a minimum, this would mean sticker gun laws, and possibly the confiscation of all privately owned firearms; the complete elimination of our borders; and a floundering socialist state unrecognizable by those of us who were born in the first half of the last century. Yes, the stacking of the Supreme Court and the federal courts with liberal minded jurists who believe the constitution is antiquated and no longer meaningful will be the end of the United States of America. Period! And, when all is said and done, that is why we should do everything possible to make sure Donald Trump is our next president, nothing else is of the slightest importance, especially since the alternative is crooked Hillary Clinton. One last thought on this critically important issue. If Trump becomes president Mike Pence will be our vice president. Now, God forbid, if something should happen to Trump, Mike Pence will be our president. That, should bring a smile to your face! Stranger things have happened.
