No Choice 2016

-
A good friend from church sent me a forwarded email, one of those "Trump is bad but still have to vote against him to stop Hillary" things.

This was the reply I sent back to him:

(My friend's name), you have to vote how you think is best, but I believe that a vote for Trump is no better than a vote for Clinton. I believe that the two of them have been friends for years, and they have conspired to present us with this illusion of a choice. I have seen that their daughters remain "besties" even as Trump and Hillary fight it out for the cameras. Both have used the "charitable" foundations bearing their names to trade favors under the table. Both have claimed to be Christian, but when asked to actually describe any Christian point of view, can only either spout talking points or make a mockery of it. 
I will not vote for Hillary. And I will not vote for the con man that is Hillary's friend, even when he pretends otherwise.

The only thing Kemp had going for him was that he wasn’t Cagle. Other than that, his appeal is strictly "good old boy" Trumpian.  The only reason to vote for him is if you don't like Democr

I admit it: I’m a huge fan of sci-fi. From Mary Shelley and H.G. Wells, Ray Bradbury and Isaac Asimov, to Gene Roddenberry and every single superhero movie to come out in the last decade, I just can’t get enough. The imagination, the spectacle, the endless possibilities of hope… and, of course, utopias and dystopias that teach us about the best and worst of humanity.
