Government out of control

     When did we lose control of our lives?  It seems like the government controls every aspect of out lives to the foods we eat and the cars we drive. This election only confirms to me that maybe that is for the best.  We, the people on the right, had 16 candidates to chose from and we picked Donald Trump. Maybe we are not capable to make decisions for ourselves.  We had some great candidates too.  My favorites were Ted Cruz and Scott Walker but many of the others would have been a much better candidate.  At this point I would have been happier with Jeb Bush and that is saying a lot. 
      I think the thing that has made me the saddest and maddest about this election is how so many on the right and especially evangelical leaders are defending Donald Trump.  This is a man that has admitted to having affairs and has been accused of groping women but that just doesn't seem to matter to them.  He is said to be contrite and apologetic for his actions but I don't buy it.  All I hear is "We can't let Hillary win" but what are we giving up to get him elected?  Are we selling out our principles for the sake of an election? I fear the Christian churches and evangelicals in particular will reap the affects of supporting Donald Trump for years to come.  How is it possible to spread the word of God and support Donald Trump at the same time? How is it possible to condemn sin and condone it at the same time?

     I also hear people say that his language was just him being a man and that is the way guys talk. So the fact that he is a misogynistic jerk who thinks women are only good for one thing and thinks it is okay to insult and demean them every chance he gets is the guy you want in the White House? Is this is the example you want set for your sons? or the way you would want your daughters treated?

     So we have to pick between a womanizing jerk who has no concept of foreign policy and an incompetent liar who let our people die and lied to the faces of the families who can't even keep up with her emails but is expected to be able to keep our country safe while protecting national security......Geez this should end well.
