What Kind of America Will You Choose?

Much of the media would have you believe that the upcoming elections are really just about personalities. Who’s more empathetic? Who’s more dignified? Who’s more likable?

The truth is, Americans won’t just be voting for a particular candidate Nov. 3, they will be choosing what kind of country they want to live in, work in, and raise their families in. They’ll be deciding what kind of America they believe in.

As you go to the polls, ask yourself these questions:

Which America do you want to live in? One that upholds your right to freedom of speech and religious beliefs? Or an America that says only certain views are acceptable in the public square, and shames, bullies, and cancels those who disagree?

What kind of America do you want to work in? One like we had before the pandemic hit, when more Americans than ever said they were better off financially than they were just a year ago? Or one that insists we return to more taxes, regulations, and mandates on both individuals and businesses.

What kind of America will you feel safest in? One that honors and respects our law enforcement officers for putting their lives on the line to keep our streets safe? Or an America that calls for defunding the police and permits lawlessness and chaos in our neighborhoods?

Do you want an America where parents are free to choose where their children are educated or one where ZIP codes determine a child’s only option and perhaps their future? Do you want an education system that empowers families and rewards schools that succeed or one that props up the status quo and continues to fund those that fail?

The same could be asked about health care—do you want more choices at better prices or do you prefer the government making more and more decisions about what coverage you can have, what doctor you can see, and what your plan will cost?

How about the role of the judiciary?

When you vote for president, you are also voting for what types of judges will sit on the Supreme Court and in courtrooms across the nation. Do you want jurists that will interpret the laws as written or ones that make laws from the bench? There is a big difference.

From the interpretation of the Second Amendment and whether one has a right to own a gun to defend themselves and their property to the meaning of the right to life, judges matter.

Do you want to live in an America where we control our own borders and where those seeking to come here obey our laws? Or do you prefer open borders where we have little say about who comes and who goes, rewarding those who jump the line, and also providing easy entry for those seeking to do us harm?

What about America’s economic and energy independence? When it comes to consumer goods, medical supplies, and critical resources such as oil and natural gas, do you want to live in a country that can and is producing those for itself or one beholden to regimes like China, Russia, and Saudi Arabia?

Do you prefer a country that upholds America’s values on the world stage or one that sells them out to garner approval from international elites at the United Nations or the World Health Organization?

Finally, do you want to live in an America where we honor our founding and our history while learning from our past, or one where monuments are defaced and destroyed and history books are rewritten?

These are the choices you face when you enter the voting booth in November. Don’t think for a moment that your vote doesn’t matter. Or that you can sit this one out. Or that this election is just a personality contest.

You will be deciding which America you want to live in, work in, and raise your family in. Which American you believe in. The question is, which America will you choose?

The question is: Do believe in the American constitution as it was written or do you want it changed? Liberty and freedom are on the ballot. The only way the USA will cease to exist is in the hands of the citizens, external forces will not defeat us, only the citizens within.

It is very disturbing to see how much the MSM is in the business of controlling the minds of our citizens. I spoke with an 85 year old yesterday about the choices we face in this election and she has bought into the President Trump negative spin and propaganda 100%. She is a very intelligent lady but has always watched CNN and never questioned whether they were sharing facts or political spin. It’s very scary actually they way technology in this case has become very harmful to our Nation.

I can not just stop where you stopped! Kamala Harris and Joe Biden remind me of the old story: The Farmer and the Viper –  A farmer finds a viper nearly freezing to death in the snow. Taking pity on it, he picks it up and places it within his coat. The viper, revived by the warmth, bites his rescuer, who dies realizing that it is his own fault. Moral: (1) The farmer dies reproaching himself “for pitying a scoundrel,” or (2) The snake bit his benefactor “to teach the lesson not to expect a reward from the wicked.” Now, all we have left to do is identify which is the farmer and which is the snake. What? You’re done already? Don’t forget come Election Day.

This isn’t a difficult decision. Vote smart for the America you want to pass down to your children and grandchildren. People will ALWAYS fail in their promises they say they’ll keep, but YOU will decide the face of the American dream for many generations to come. Don’t vote for a personality or a party, vote for the land of the free, and the home of the brave!

Trump has accomplished more in 47 mos than Biden did in 47 yrs of being a politician. He’s also for saving babies! The left believes in abortion up to due date and some like Northam believe they should be able to terminate after birth.

Expect violence no mater who wins, if Trump wins, the communist will do everything in their power to destroy the country, if Biden wins, it will be the absolute last chance to save the Republic and the Constitution and American Patriots WILL go to war. 155 years ago he democrats lost the first civil war and now we are facing a second because they were allowed to continue to exist, don’t make the same mistake twice so that our great, great grandkids have to fight a third!

I see our biggest problem is in our education system. Young people are not taught about our government as we were. Our schools have been hijacked by the liberals. Our children for many years have not learned our history and how our government works and so many young, 40 somethings, have been brainwashed to believe that socialism will be more fair than our republic. We need to take our schools and universities back!

I am voting not so much for personality but for a POTUS / Commander in Chief that that will stand up to the radicals of all stripes, brings jobs back to the US & maintains border control. He may not have many friends in the world but by God he stands up for America. He is not selling us down the river to the Chinese.

I am voting for President Trump. He is not the one who has started all this hatred, burning of cities etc… The Dems have initiated this and fueled by some of their richest. Donald Trump loves this country as do I and ran because of this. He is not taking a salary. He doesn’t need to. We should be proud of our country and live up to it instead of tearing it down. Satan is working his evil but we will overcome. We are one nation under God.

Very thought-provoking. Living here in Northern California, professional politicians have done a very poor job!! Wildlands management has been non-existent, and now, wildfires are not only destroying thousands of acres but also making the air almost unbreathable. At times, the sun seems to set at 4pm because the smoke is so thick (even triggering photo-switches). Compounding the problems, you can’t enter stores without a mask on threat of arrest, so that even those of us who don’t have respiratory problems really struggle to breathe.
I’d love to vote in person, but I am “permanent absentee”. Originally back in the early 2000’s, my health required it. But now, here in Mendocino county, they struggle to find both locations and volunteers, so everyone “registered” is permanent-absentee status.
We really need people in office who care about their country first. People who have actually held jobs in the business world. People who have faith in a higher power. People who understand that payments cannot exceed income. People who want to help others (recover and go forward, as opposed to permanent handouts). But most of all, people who have good-old-common sense!

We must all get out and vote and take any and everyone you know with you. Our very way of life depends on the outcome of this election more than at any time in my life and a young man I am not. I regard our Constitution and overall American way of life more than I can say and we must all vote together to maintain our very Americanism. The lefts ideals are despicable and perverse from forcing “self identified” male….females to compete with real biological females is despicable but allowing these perverts access to their “gender of choice” restrooms is…….something only an insane leftist could force upon normal people and these examples are nothing compared to the total destruction of our freedoms and way of life that the left is trying to ram down our throats and are even threatening to take violence to the streets should they not get the election results they desire.
Folks, do you really want to have the rule of law taken away along with police officers and then to also have our Second Amendment rights that enable us to protect ourselves from harm from both criminals and an out of control government? The left is literally out to kill our very way of life and to leave us helpless in the face of their tyranny.
Vote and honestly take friends, neighbors and associates along with you to vote as well and send a message to the perverse left they will never forget!

The largest number of votes are for Republican and Democrats–some people suggest third party. What are the chances that a third party could win. Voting for a third party is just taking votes away from the best party. The Republican party is the party of freedom–examples 1st and 2nd amendment, freedom to do with your money what you choose–sharing thru charities–better use of money–no middleman which is government. Democrats want to take your money and choose what to do with it thru a middleman–the government. Democrats want to take away your freedoms. If we want to stay free, we have to vote for the Republicans–that’s the bottom line.

I’m looking forward to seeing the Right win so we can continue to worship as we want; send our children to the best schools; have faith that those we elect will put our interests first and have safe streets again guarded by our Police departments. GOD BLESS PRESIDENT TRUMP and U.S.A.

We had enough broken promises with Obama that we should all have learned a hard lesson, never trust a smiling, smooth talking politician. ALWAYS look at their RECORD. Biden’s record is so old that it makes a 45 rpm record look like the latest tech device.

Please pray for Trump to recover from his COVID-19 infection and his symptoms stay on the mild side. I am sure V.P. Pence is more than able to follow through with what needs to be done while our President recuperates. I am very concerned with the timing of this exposure so close to the announcement of the Supreme Court Judge Amy Comey Barrett and the debate. Remember Nancy Pelosi has said that they will do anything to keep Trump from getting another term in office. Considering her age, it is very surprising that she hasn’t been exposed since the same people that she sees also see Trump. Someone exposed Hope knowingly.

Precisely because of the personalities and the media bias, I am extremely afraid this is being missed. I’m praying daily God moves us in the direction that preserves these very important aspects of our country. I’m especially troubled by the way our history, flaws and all, is being rewritten. When I heard the Cuban refugee talk at the Republican convention and say this was exactly what happened in Cuba, I shuddered with recognition.

I wish our country’s 2-party system didn’t encourage this conflict. I’ve voted 3d party at times, but can’t afford to have my vote not count this time. I also now understand the Electoral College’s importance preventing big cities and the U.S. coastal states from always treat the rest of the U.S. as unimportant, backward, “fly-over” territory.

Tim Scott, I am furious how he has been treated and how even fauxnews is showing thier true colors, and they ain’t RED WHITE AND BLUE, they are not allowing AMERICANS TO respond to these articles because we speak out against the hate and bigotry of the socialist/dems and msm does not like to hear from AMERICANS, they will hear us on Nvember three.

I just hope that ALL Americans realize that to choose Biden would be to have a war and a one party political system in the United States. The only safe vote is for President Trump. In my 80 years, he is the only president that has done what he said he would do. That speaks pretty loudly to me.

I’m voting for Trump/Pence with no hesitation. I do not want socialism/communism. One leads to the other. They do what our media is doing now… Try to destroy anyone who doesn’t go along with all their lies and hateful arrogant behavior. The government owns everything. Can’t own your own home. can’t own land, can’t defend yourself and your family…can’t raise your own children and on and on. Anyone who votes Democratic is out of their mind and has no idea what they now stand for. I hope and pray we have enough smart and awake real Americans.

We have two parties & one is going to get elected. We do not need one party controlling Senate & House, or any party badmouthing judicial system when they do not agree with rulings. We have three separate branches: Executive, Legislative, & Judicial and they should remain independent. Lastly, people that want Socialism need to read more about what it is & what it has done historically, and then decide if they want to give up the freedoms that Americans have today . There is no such thing as a free lunch.

I want the America of the 1950-60’s: The President that led America after WWII did all the right things when our troops came home– GI loans, GI bill, and Marshall Plan put Europe back together & put Japan back together. FDR realized that by rest of world being healthy/self sufficient makes the whole world better . Today, too many countries look at as “What’s in it for me”. Even Abraham Lincoln had a lot to say about building others up to help all.

I was born in the West and grew up in the Rockies. Loved the mountains, outdoors, where great conservation of our natural resources (Great forest management) gave us clean water, good air, and freedom to enjoy it. Then came the ‘tree-huggers’ and really dumb regulations that undercut proper resource management, and brought bad water and air quality, then global warming and the cooked science that put panic in the hearts of the people, and still is an issue as they blame everything and anything on Climate change and still with the cooked science. All of what has been happening has a big ‘red’ line connecting the issue dots. I don’t even accept the use of the noun Democrat Party, but instead Luciferian Socialist Party USA. So now in my twilight years, I will still show up at the polls to vote in person, and vote Conservative … Real Republican Red!.

I want an America where ADULTS lead instead of all the children we now have acting like 5 year old when they don’t get their way. I want an America where government respects the people instead of patronizing us and thinks themselves gods!

Just like in 2016, this election is all about: A. supporting the corrupt Washington establishment which the insider Biden typifies just as Clinton did or B. supporting the outsider, Trump, fighting that establishment and trying to drain he swamp. That “establishment” includes almost all Democratic politicians of course but also includes many federal government bureaucrats, some GOP politicians, and most of the Washington based media. They all feed at the same government pig trough. Compare Trump’s real accomplishments in just four years to Biden’s lack of same in 45 years. No contest. Trump gets my vote.
