Reject Kyrsten Sinema
Kyrsten Sinema is the proverbial fish-out-of-water.
She would be a perfect candidate for any political position in the state of
California, but she is unqualified to represent Arizona in the U.S. Senate. She
is an advocate for sanctuary cities and sanctuary states, which is perfect for
the anarchist environment of California, but is dead wrong for Arizona. She is
opposed to protecting our southern border, insisting instead that criminals,
illegal drugs, human trafficking, MS13 gang members, and illegal aliens all
crossing into Arizona really is not a problem. Apparently, her goal is to have
Arizona experience the “California effect” of city streets being used as open
sewers and used drug syringes lying around on the sidewalks. She expresses the
total disdain of our military and our policemen that is so prevalent in current
“liberal” attitudes. She even supports enlisting with the Taliban to wage war
against and kill American soldiers. She has mocked Arizona residents in the
past, and it is ludicrous to pretend that she shares any kinship with the
majority of Arizona residents. It is time for the “fish out of water” to be
mercifully placed in a nice socialistic society such as Venezuela where her
ideas can die a natural death.

An ideal senator
I don't know if you watched the news broadcast which gave the entire speech by Susan Collins in which she painstakingly outlined her reasons for voting for the confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh. It was a beautiful example of the use of logic and meticulous ethical dedication to determine the right and proper conclusion. I had never heard of her before the speech, but I am grateful to have been privileged to witness such an example of dedication to truth and moral standards. I came across the link below, and I highly recommend it. Just click on the link to read the article.

Why I vote.
Get
out and vote! Be sure to vote in this extremely important upcoming election! We
need your vote! This message is repeated over and over. Voting is important.
Elections have consequences, and other similar statements. But I feel the need
to illuminate why I personally desire to vote.
I hear some people make statements like, “I am a
democrat, so I vote for the democrat”, or conversely “I am a republican.”, or “I
vote for the best candidate”. However, these statements have little meaning to
me. Instead, I want to vote for the candidates that I think support my beliefs,
and in my opinion will do what is best for this country. Instead, our political
system wants to present me with a choice of supporting a political agenda, and I
have to search beyond the simpleton stereotypes being expounded by most of the
candidates.
Today, I want to talk about the innocent-appearing
concept of political correctness. It is a little difficult to define exactly,
but a famous quote helps. The author of the quote was speaking about
pornography, and he said that writing a legal definition of pornography was
very difficult, but he could certainly identify it when he saw it. In my
opinion, political correctness is a tool used to force others to behave or
think a certain way based on the use of public shaming. It has little or
nothing to do with the moral or logical results of the thought or action. The central
theme is to control other people. It is the forerunner of developing a
dictatorial society where individual thinking or freedom of speech are
outlawed. I believe in the values expressed in our constitution, which includes
freedom of speech. Attempting to curtail freedom of thought and freedom of
speech therefore violates my beliefs, and I think it also undermines the
welfare and health of our nation. I am compelled to oppose political
correctness.
What are the consequences of political correctness? What
should you expect to happen when a group of people have succeeded in implementing
political correctness? In my opinion, one offshoot is intolerance of divergent
opinions. Additionally, another is the grouping of people with non-complying
opinions into the general class of “enemies”. This leads to a society based on divisiveness
where there are no mutual goals for the common good expounded. Instead, an aura
of suspicion and hatred develops fueled by the group expounding political
correctness. This is further exacerbated by the smugness and self-proclaimed
moral superiority of the “PC” enforcers. They then claim that the “enemies” can
be subjected to any kind of treatment because their dissent must be destroyed
at any cost. At that point, you have the emergence of the “Maxine Watters” type
of individual and the Antifa-type organizations who claim that assaulting the “enemies”
with violence, threats and any manner of insults is permissible. All of this is
thoroughly distasteful and extremely destructive to keeping a free society. It violates
the very foundation of my principles, and I vehemently oppose it.
Therefore, I am opposed to any group or organization who
advocates or supports the concept of political correctness. How does this
relate to why I vote? Obviously, if I vote for candidates who advocate or
support this, then I am undermining my core values. Political correctness, the
current undercurrent of hatred by the democratic leaders, the endorsement of
assaulting GOP leaders in public, the destruction of free speech, and the
corrosive win-at-any-cost attitude of the democratic leaders all are abhorrent to
me. I have heard the leaders of the Democratic Party repeatedly advocate or
endorse some or all of these “PC” concepts. The most prevalent of the “PC”
attitudes is “you must hate everything and everyone related to Trump”. I cannot
and will not hate anyone based on “orders” from anyone. Why do I vote? I vote
to defeat the current destructive agenda of the Democratic Party!

Political slander
For me, the actions and attitudes of the democratic
senators before and during the confirmation process for Brett Kavanaugh can only
be described as worse than reprehensible and it seriously discredits their
position as senators. The confirmation process is not supposed to be comprised
of a multitude of unsupported allegations directly from the sewer. The
confirmation process is not supposed to be a hateful attempt to destroy the
nominee’s reputation and his life. The democrats stated that they intended to
stop the confirmation of any nominee proposed by President Trump even before
the nominee’s name was known. When they were unable to discredit him in their
initial attempt, they organized a slime ball campaign of lies and proceeded to
transform the entire process into a disgusting travesty for the sole purpose of
destroying Brett Kavanaugh. As an aside, Diane Feinstein should be referred to
the ethics committee for hiding information from the confirmation process. This
was definitely unethical behavior.
This is not the first time that the democrats have
used gutter tactics to attempt to derail a Supreme Court nominee’s
confirmation. This needs to be stopped. First of all, the purposeful
disruptions of paid agitators in the gallery should not be permitted in the
future. There is really only one way to stop it. There should only be senators
of the committee and the nominee present in the hearings. In addition, the
obvious posturing by the democratic senators for the cameras only provides a means
for the democrats to corrupt the process. The news media should not be allowed
to film the hearing, but should be provided a written transcript of the
proceedings instead. However, the written transcript should be available for
the general public in an easily accessed format to ensure that the biased
reporting by the media can be discerned by the public. These changes should help
to diminish the corruption of the process.
However, the slanderous allegations must be stopped,
and the only way to accomplish this is to provide for severe punishment for
politically based slander. Politically based slander should incur an aggravated
sentence at least 5 times as severe as regular slander charges. In addition, politically
based slander should also incur criminal felony perjury charges based on the
attempt to lie to or mislead the senate. To prove politically based slander,
one should have to prove the slander as in current slander cases plus one more
fact. That fact should be that the allegation was made public after the person
was nominated as a Supreme Court justice. The alleged date of the incident
should not be considered in determining if the slander is politically based,
only the date that the allegation was made public. Once the offender is
convicted in civil court of politically based slander, then the case should
automatically be referred to the proper law enforcement agency for the criminal
prosecution.
