Never have I seen the contrast so clear. Never have I seen such a choice between black and white. It is futile to claim you are an Independent, for the options are so diametrically opposed that there is no middle ground. This is an election between reason and commonsense or fantasy and lunacy. The polls indicate that sanity may be rising to the top.

Let’s take a look at some of the beliefs of the Left. I think you will see the views of the Right are the opposite.

1. This election is about abortion and reproductive rights. The ads have been quite clear and inaccurate. The Supreme Court DID NOT take away a woman’s choice to abort her unborn baby. The ruling took abortion out of the federal arena and turned it back to the states where it should have always been. The Left has taken abortion to the extreme, saying there should be no limits on when an abortion can be performed, including the time of birth. They also feel that a fetus that survives an abortion can be allowed to die. They have lost all sanctity of life.
2. We no longer need to be a sovereign country. A country is sovereign when it has defined borders. Many feel that is one of the primary jobs of the federal government. To the thrill of the Left, this Administration does not believe in a closed secure border at our southwestern quarter. At least four million illegals from over 150 countries have entered and stayed via our southwestern quarter. The Southern Border is now the most dangerous crossing in the world. Nearly 1,000 illegals have lost their lives attempting the crossing. The Border is a humanitarian disaster.
3. Defund the Police. They said it, and we watched the results in the summer of love in 2020. They deflect it to the Right and try to deny it, but there is far too much video for them to hide from their belief. Crime in every Democrat run city is on the rise, and homicide records are being crushed by the dead bodies. In New York, 4,000 officers have filed for retirement this year, and there are nowhere near the recruits to replace them. People are leaving these cities, and nobody is in a hurry to visit.
4. There are no longer only two genders. This thinking defies science but what is worse is the Left feels there should be no restrictions on when a child can undergo gender transformation surgery. Young children are having their bodies mutilated when they do not even understand what they are doing to themselves.
5. We face an existential threat from the damage we are doing to the environment. These people do not even understand the difference between weather and climate, yet they have been screaming the sky is falling for decades and that we should have been extinct years ago. We are still here, and our carbon emissions drop yearly as we become more efficient in using fossil fuels. Al Gore and Geta Thunberg have made tons of money from these false claims.

There are many more examples, but I hope you see the contrast. This election is a turning point. We can preserve the country we have loved and honored for over two centuries, or we can throw it all away and turn to a Socialist based country where morals are just a fading memory. Which direction do you want to travel?
