本人的观点和情感。Dear
Fellow Americans,
Our
nation has come to a critical moment. The November
8th
selection is so important that it is time
for every one of us to put
down our partisan
differences and reexamine our rationale for
our choices. This handout is intended to
inspire a thoughtful
reflection, and I hope
you will spend five minutes finishing
reading
it for the sake of our country.
First of all,
I want to caution everyone that feelings can be
deceptive, and basing our choices primarily on
feelings is
potentially risky, because
politicians are all great rhetoricians
artful
at manipulating people’s feelings and perceptions.
So we
MUST stay cool and focus on the real
political agendas of each
candidate and
understand their implications to us, our children
and our grandchildren.
Is Hillary’s
economic plan going to work?First, let’s talk
about
the debt. The debt increase during Obama
administration, which
is roughly 11
trillion dollars, is more than the debt
accumulated
during all the preceding 43
presidents combined. We
Americansneed to
understand how it was created. People
might
cite the 2008 financial crisis as the culprit.
However, U.S
was officially out of recession
by June 2009, but debt continued
to skyrocket
throughthat time till now. So what caused this?
With no major wars fought and nor major
infrastructures built
during this period, the
only possible reason is the dramatically
expanded social security programs, which
encourage the
laziness of quite a few and
penalize hardworking middle class,
and the
wasteful expenditures of this
Democratadministration,
which can be suggested
by the outrageous cost of ObamaCare
website.
The hallmark of American spirit is limited
government built on
the ideal of “check and
balance”, and faith in the marketand
entrepreneurship of American people. Now,
under the
Democrat’s ideals, morepeople are on
food stamps than ever,
and more people are
simply sitting at homeliving on social
security. Ironically, as more people are no
longer seeking
employment, the unemployment
rate goes down. Also going
down, as one can
easily understand, is the productivity of U.S.
as a nation. If this trend continues without
due changes, the debt
issue will simply
get worse, and our national productivity and
national competitiveness will keep declining,
and we are
doomed to the pitfalls of many
European countries like France,
Greece and
Spain. Graph showingtroubling
trends under the Obama Presidency
Therefore, it is a time for America tomake a
change in its
direction. Unfortunately,
Hillary Clinton’s economic plan is just
a
continuation of the one we had in the last eight
years, or it may
even get worse as she
aggressively attempts her free college
plan.
Increasing tax and debt ceiling will be the only
outcome.
Second, let’s talk about jobs.
Creating jobs is certainly
government’s
responsibility, but there are different approaches
to it. Hillary Clinton’splan is centered
around government
driven investments in clean
energy and high technology. But
history have
always shown that government driven investment is
inefficient and incapable of sustaining long-
term jobs. If you
have doubtsabout this claim,
just think about the nightmarish
bureaucracy
of VA and the 500 million spent on training 4 or 5
Syrian rebels.
On the other hand, the
unfair tradedeal US has with foreign
countries
are causing much harm to American jobs.
Forexample,
much of the Chinese goods can
enter the US market free of
custom
tariffs, but a US manufactured Cadillac CTS is
selling
50% more expensive in Chinabecause of
a non-tariff expenses.
A sense-making
businessman can easily identify this problem,
and he knows that jobs cannot be created in
sufficient numbers
without addressing the
unfair trade deals. Hillary Clinton,
however,
labelled as “isolationism” Donald Trump's attempt
to
renegotiate the trade deals.
IsHillary’s plan going to make America
safer?The threat of
Radical Islam
We need
to talk about ISIS. ISIS is apressing threat, but
just a
tiny tip of the gigantic iceberg of
radical Islamists who can turn
into terrorists
and launch strike at any time. The mass killing in
Orlando of Florida and San Bernardino of
California and the
recent NYC bombing all
testify to this pattern.
If we don’t want to
see in home the chaos in today’s Paris,
Brussel and Niece, we MUST face and address
the rise of
radical Islam honestly, and we
must act NOW. Hillary Clinton’s
policy on
radical Islam is extremely dangerous to our nation
because, due to her close ties with middle
east donors, she even
doesn’t want to mention
radical Islam. Unwillingness to call
enemy by
its name reflects the Democrat’s long standing
tradition of beautifying radical Islam,
pandering to the Muslim
voters and
catering to their middle-east foundation donors.
Under Hillary’s plan, the United Statesis
going to take in
hundreds of thousands of
Muslim refugees while intelligence
officials
publicly admit we cannot verify their backgrounds.
Playing moral saintsand admitting Muslim
refugees at the risk
of Americans’ safety and
security,that’s what Democrats are
doing for
this country. In this context, having her as
commander
in chief is unacceptable and
dangerous.
Supreme court and
2ndAmendmentSupreme court is the
ultimate
safeguardof our constitution. With the death of
the
conservative judge Antonin Scalia, the
Democrats are eager to
replace with a liberal
judge. If that indeed takes place, the
constitution will be peril. Only if Donald
Trump is elected will
the supreme court again
restore its conservative majority, which
will
help safeguard the integrity of our constitution.
So we have enough reasons to fear thatthe 2nd
Amendment will
be endangered if Hillary
becomes president. DonaldTrump, by
contrast,
is a strong defender of the constitution and
protect
American’s right to defend. So if we
want to live free, we cannot
elect apresident
who stands the possibility of depriving our
rights to defend ourselves.
Whosepresidency poses a bigger threat?It’s
obvious that neither
is nearly a good
choice, but many feel Hillary Clinton has the
better experience and temperament, while
Donald Trump
doesn’t seem to have the
temperament requiredto be president.
Whereas
election of either one posessome challenges to our
country, there are fundamental differences
between thetwo
scenarios.
First of all,
the threat of a Hillary presidency is mainly
policy-based, which means, even if she
executes herplan faithful
and diligently, she
will still bring great trouble to this
nationbecause her policy is not right. The
eight years of Obama
administration hasseen
many setbacks in key measures our
economy. The
following graphs show theObama administration
in red.
We simply cannot repeat the
mistakes ofmany Europeans
countries who are
stuck in the quagmire welfare and terrorism.
On the other hand, the threat of a Donald
Trump presidency is
mainly temperament-based.
Donald Trumpdid exhibit bluntness
rarely seen
in conventional politicians. But he has beena
businessman and an entertainment personality
for many years.
He is fighting the corrupted
and incompetent political
establishment alone.
He has very strong feelings about that fight.
All these factors made him outspoken and
sometimes
provocative and inflammatory.
But we’ve seen he has showed
change since the
beginning of hiscampaign, especially during
the first debate, where he even didn’t unleash
any personal
attacks against Hillary Clinton.
Second, Hillary Clinton is a proven corrupted
career politician
with very bad track records,
some of which amount tocrime. The
threat of a
Hillary presidency is just certain. Hillary
Clinton
recklessly mishandled classified
information and has caused
materia ldamage to
our national security, and she mishandled the
Benghazi crisis, which led to the tragic
deaths of the American
Ambassador Christopher
Stevens, the first US ambassador to be
killed
on duty since 1979. When she was Secretary of
State, her
Clinton foundation also received
massive amount of money
from many special
interests groups, and middle east countries,
some of which are sponsorsof terrorism. More
importantly,
Hillary Clinton lied time from
time over her fault. She has lost
the
credibility to be president of this country.
On the other hand, the threat of a Trump
presidency is
presumptive, and to a large
extent has been exaggerated by the
much biased
media. For example, the vast majority of media
covered Trump’scalling Mr. Universe “Miss
Piggy”, but none of
them cared about why FBI
director James Comey didn’t
recommend
prosecution for Hillary Clinton’s
mainstream
media even portrayed Mr. Trump as an irascible
person who will readily press the nuke button
once provoked.
However, even the whimsical and
capricious North Korea
dictator King Jong-un
didn’t do that, why do we fear that a
shrewd
businessman like Trump will do that?
ConclusionUnited States of America has been
led off its due
course for a long time. Laws
are replaced by political
correctnessand
constitution is at peril. History tells us that a
disaster always strikes hardest when people
are not aware of it.
Ask yourself, are you
aware of all those potential risks we
discussed above? Now, spread this message,
and tell your
friends that our country is at a
historic crossroad, and everyone
should think
carefully before casting their votes.
And we
hope you will vote for Donald Trump.
