2,000 blogs, Wow!
Politics and Football, America needs to stand United
America's second Civil War is in full bloom.
The President's press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders recently went out to dine
at the Red Hen restaurant in Virginia with 7 family members and was asked to leave because she worked for Potus.
This incident created fallout on the Red Hen's Yelp page, where comments were so bad by Trump supporters, the page was shut down.
The immigration crisis is in dire need of repair, however all anybody wants to do is point fingers at one another and not work to fix anything.
Politics has become like a playoff football game, where if your team doesn't win, it seems like the end of the world.
I have friends if their team doesn't win the game they can't even go out to a planned dinner, instead they stay home and sulk. Others will curse and wish death and injury on opposing quarterbacks, calling opposing teams every 4 letter word in the book.
I have a favorite team and of course I always hope my team wins, however I am an NFL fan and can appreciate a great play even by the opposition.
Why is it in politics that if our President does something great that the opposition can't appreciate it for the good of the country? Just because he did something you didn't like in the past doesn't mean you have to hate on him for everything.
I am one of the few people that voted for Obama and Trump. Respect the office of the presidency, if you don't like whose president there is always another election. I have always respected the president even when my candidate was not elected. Politics has turned into a heated, hated football match where people believe there team is playing for a trophy and blood.
My musician friend in Alaska, 'Hobo Jim' says it best in a recent post.
"Hi Folks, I just received a post saying "if I was a Donald Trump supporter that they did not want to be my Friend and I could go to hell. "I should tell you that this post was not made to me personally but on my FB. I'm of the Dolly Parton school of entertainment I don't believe politics belong in your show. I know these are very turbulent times and people are packed full of emotion and misinformation. I'm sorry, but I don't want to know your politics, I don't want you to know mine,I keep mine to Myself. I have very firm convictions but I don't believe they belong in my show. I am here to entertain all of you. There are so many actors and musicians that I can't listen to or watch anymore Because I can't get by the things they say publicly."
" I have many friends who are master entertainers on both sides of the spectrum. Some of them have chosen to be activists in their music and I respect them highly for that, however, don't expect that of me. I'm here to entertain everyone of all sides. Those who wish to take a little break from all troubles they face everyday. We are one great Nation .
We Need desperately to find common ground .Please don't post this political stuff on my FB .I want to be the one you can come to and hear music.
Those of you that are fighting for your cause great.I hope you find it worth losing friends ,family and those that have held you dear.I don't want political replies, I just want to sing!"
It's time America stand united, no matter what side of the aisle your on, otherwise if we don't stop this hate, there won't be a United States much longer.

I was at my Psychiatrist's today and told him ever since I became a Trump supporter everyone hates me. He said, that's not true, everyone hasn't met you yet! ;-)

| Owners of the Red Hen restaurant wearing pussy hats at an anti Trump rally after he was elected president. Even before he was in office these people were protesting and wearing these obnoxious hats. The woman on the left is the one who 86'ed our secretary of state from her restaurant. This also needs to stop! P.S. The Garden Island news published on 06-28-18 one of the best letters to the editor ever on the current immigration crisis. It was penned by; Arthur Hernandez, Native American of the Cherokee Tribe, Lawai. A must read! http://www.thegardenisland.com/2018/06/28/opinion/letter-for-thursday-june-28-2018/ Read the comments-this guy almost gets beat up as bad as me, at least they don't call him a Nazi!) Rally standing for wrong thing in border battle I read your article on the protester group, “Families Belong Together” (Tuesday, TGI Forum). I disagree with what this group has stated. My wife and I lived in Mexico City for seven years as missionaries. We applied for our visas every six months in order to remain in their country. We obeyed their laws in order to stay in Mexico. This group, “Families Belong Together,” is forgetting to include that the Mexican parents who are crossing our borders are illegal and do not have visas to enter into our country. While living in Mexico City we had close friends who asked our opinion about crossing over to the United States (without papers). We told them that it is necessary to have proper papers in order to cross the border into the US. I never heard of parents who crossed the border with their children. Most of whom crossed over were men. When these men arrived they began sending money to their families. Mexican men aren’t stupid! They wouldn’t put their own children in danger. This group, “FBT,” is insinuating that the Mexican family unit is stupid by placing children in danger when they are protesting. There is a bigger picture here that is not being revealed. Someone, on the other side of the border, is paying these Mexican men money to cross children into our country in order to undermine our country. What parent would risk their own child’s life by putting them in this kind of danger? Would you or anyone from Kauai do such a thing? The group, FBT, is being played and is also playing our own people here on Kauai! Question, where is Margie Merryman from and when did she move here from the mainland? We will find out after Saturday what her agenda really is all about. The fact that this group is continuing to protest shows me they have little regard of their action, which was successful in changing a wrong. This shows only the hatefulness for our president. As a nation we need to move forward — as one nation. Arthur Hernandez, Native American of the Cherokee Tribe, Lawai |
