Dr. Paul Craig Roberts said that he may support Donald Trump because Donald Trump does not want to start a war with Russia and because it is not too big on NATO. This thing called NATO should have everyone up in our why do we have an alliance like NATO when Russia is not communist anymore and there is no major threat to the Western world? The reason we have NATO is because we use it to bully other nations around the world even members of the alliance.

Why does anyone believe that Hillary Clinton will follow any of the recommendations that are in the Democratic platform? Barack Obama didn't follow any of the Democratic platform when he was elected. The Democratic platform is just a campaign tool to make people feel better.

I almost forgot to mention that the United States wants to put the same missile system in South Korea and the Chinese government and the Russian government have officially protested this plan. You may say to yourself that someone's going to have to stop these people but the only people who can stop them are us. When all is said and done we let these people in office we allow them to break the law. We allow them steal elections. We allow them to enrich themselves as there is hardly a senator or congressman who is not a millionaire. The reason they get away with this is because we let them. we re not paying attention,and we need to start paying attention, and that's every one of us. One way we can make a difference is if we dig down deep in our pockets and contribute to Jill Stein or Gary Johnson and make sure that every incumbent that in Congress of the Senate is defeated. If we can't do it through the election process and we might have to do with our bodies.

This corporate take-over has got to stop. We are backing Putin into a corner and were giving him no way out, now are doing the same thing to the Chinese. We let these people still steal our money and give it to the banks and to the defense contractors. we spent 54% of our budget our military and we complain about things like Medicare or Medicaid that only take up 16% of the budget as a country is falling apart around our ears. I understand that many people out there are discontented, I'm discontented. We need to talk about this we need to tell a friend about this, and we need to make a lot of noise about. In real life terms it's a matter of life or death.
