I Will not drink the Blue Kool-Aid or the Red Kool-Aid

Blue and Red Kool-Aid

I remember back in 1973, when I worked at Jewish Hospital as an orderly. Every patient had their television tuned to the Watergate hearings. Richard (I am not a crook) Nixon resigned the presidency before he could be impeached.

Nixon had a few great accomplishments; he was the first president to begin a working relationship with China. He set up the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks with Russia. He expanded the Environmental Protection Act. Most importantly, he signed the Paris Peace Accord that ended American involvement in the Vietnam War. Perhaps the one accomplishment that Nixon accomplished was to open the public’s collective eyes to the corruption, and lies that come out of Washington. He hired a team to break into offices in the Watergate Hotel and steal incriminating records. Despite his objection, Nixon was a crook.

Through the years we had to live through both Bush Presidencies, and the disastrous Clinton, and Obama years.

Aside from being a serial rapist, Clinton fudged the bond index figures to make the economy appear to be rosier then it really was.

Obama gave away our hold on Iran, the country who’s motto is Death to America. He also brought us the Obama phone, gave away money to the failing automobile industry, investment firms, that started the mess, and bolstered up failing banks by handing out cash.

Some of Obamas accomplishments were wonderful. Osama bin Laden was captured and killed during his days in office, he supposedly ended the Afghan War, but we are still maintaining a presence there.

But the world view United States was diminished during his presidency. Obama lied about his past.

In  2016 the United States held a presidential election. The Republicans has some great candidates, and so did the Democrats. But the choice came down to a couple of bullies.

Hillary Clinton pounded her little fists, and stamped her feet, then screamed, cursed and yelled until the Democratic National Committee gave into her demands, told Bernie Sanders to take a hike, and chose the wife of a lying bastard, and rapist, instead of doing the right thing and putting forth a worthy candidate.

The Republicans gave into Donald Trump, the guy with the money and the power, even though they had some good candidates. The American people spoke and elected Trump as president.

Now there is a a concerted effort to thwart Trump on everything he does. I believe we have not seen this type of effort since the Civil War.

Who is leading this, is a mystery. But there are two many coincidences to think the Democratic Party, or the promised "shadow government" Obama spoke about is not pulling the strings.

I am not pro-Trump. But I am impressed that he has brought to an end The Korean War, that started in 1950. He has improved the United States economy. He is trying to get people to work, and off of welfare, and he is trying to protect the borders from the fallout of illegal immigrants, some of whom have criminal records.

Because I am not pro-Trump, and I am fed up with the Democratic Party ideals. I will not drink the Blue Kool-Aid or the Red Kool-Aid.
