Although Donald Trump kicked off the myth that Obama was not born in the U.S. the Republican Party embraced it along with other fables such as Obama is a secret Muslim and he&#8217;s the wrong kind of Christian. \u00a0Now I must ask, how in the hell can anyone be the wrong kind of Christian and a Muslim at the same time? \u00a0The Republican Party believes that Americans are so stupid that they will actually believe such tales. And as far as Falso News (Fox News) it is nothing other than a Nazi party type of propaganda machine pretending to be a legitimate news channel. You can do your homework about Fox News and if you do you will have to conclude that it is a Republican tool used to elect republican candidates. Or you can simply watch it for a few days and then ask yourself, &#8220;What percent of the time is Fox News relentlessly hammering away at its audience the following message..&#8221;Obama bad. Democrats are bad&#8221;?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I am living in Thailand full time as an American expat. \u00a0But I&#8217;m just blown away by the fact that four out of\u00a0four of my American friends are not voting in this upcoming November election. \u00a0Their excuses run from &#8220;I&#8217;m no longer registered in the correct state&#8221; to &#8220;the lobbyists have so much power that my vote won&#8217;t count anyway&#8221; to &#8220;I don&#8217;t like the two choices the Democrats and Republicans are giving\u00a0me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Well, I&#8217;ve already voted and I&#8217;m damn proud of it. \u00a0Sure, I had to make\u00a0the effort of downloading the right application from the internet for my absentee ballot. \u00a0I even had to make sure that my printer&#8217;s ink cartridge had ink in it so I could print out the application. \u00a0 Then I had to actually spend a horrific fifteen more minutes of my life filling the application out. I had to find an envelope that was buried deep in a desk drawer. \u00a0Then I had to drive my motorcycle to a postal outlet a mile up the street so I could mail in my request for an\u00a0absentee \u00a0ballot. \u00a0I \u00a0had to wait two weeks for my absentee ballot to arrive by email. \u00a0 Finally I had to \u00a0fill in the ballot, and drive my motorbike to the post office to send my ballot in.<\/p>\n<p>But I don&#8217;t figure all that effort is too much of a hardship. \u00a0Not when I think of what our founding fathers had to go through to win American Independence from England. \u00a0Or the 600,000 Union and Confederate soldiers who died in the American Civil War fighting for what they believed in. \u00a0Or our fellow black citizens who used to have to sit in the back of the bus more than seventy-five years after the abolishment of slavery.<\/p>\n<p>Okay, so you don&#8217;t like either Trump or Clinton. \u00a0Suppose you believe that Clinton is a very corrupt human being. \u00a0 You think that Clinton is untrustworthy. \u00a0So you decide not to vote for her. \u00a0This leaves you with three choices. \u00a01. \u00a0You vote for Trump, 2. \u00a0You vote for a third party, or 3. \u00a0Or you don&#8217;t vote at all. \u00a0 If you choose 3, you are failing to exercise your right to vote. \u00a0By failing to do your duty, you have proven to be unworthy of all those patriots who sacrificed so much.<\/p>\n<p>By failing to exercise your right to vote, you are truly not\u00a0worthy of being called an American. \u00a0 They were American patriots. \u00a0You are a wuss. \u00a0A wanker. \u00a0By failing to perform your civic duty, you deserve being ruled by a Hitler or a king who would deny you all the civil rights you presently enjoy and the respect you think you deserve as a human being.<\/p>\n<p>Those who vote for a third party, will be\u00a0throwing their votes away. \u00a0 Either Trump or Clinton is going to win. \u00a0No third party candidate has a chance. \u00a0Not in this election. \u00a0Trump has alienated so many women, blacks and Hispanics , that there\u00a0is no way that he can win this election. \u00a0Unless enough of these people he&#8217;s alienated fail to show up.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve chosen to mention two very bad names that will \u00a0live forever in infamy. \u00a0Hitler and Nazi. \u00a0Now we all know that Hitler did a lot of lying to help him rise to the top. \u00a0But as a liar Hitler was half as bad as Trump who lies 75 % of the time. \u00a0And compared to Trump, Hitler at least appeared to be a pretty reasonable man for the first half of his political career.<\/p>\n<p>By 1933 and when he became chancellor and a few years afterwards,\u00a0\u00a0Hitler made a lot of sense, even to his future enemies. \u00a0 He got Germany out of the \u00a0Great Depression by the mid 1930&#8217;s while it took the United States half way through World War II \u00a0to emerge \u00a0from the economic abyss. \u00a0 He was able to reclaim nearly all the territory Germany lost after winding up on the losing side during World War I. \u00a0 Hitler also created the mightiest military machine in Europe from the paltry 100,000 Army Germany was allowed to keep by the victorious Allied powers under the Treaty of Versailles. \u00a0As for the later part of his political career, there&#8217;s no question that Hitler lost it. \u00a0As for Trump, I don&#8217;t think he&#8217;s got it in him to achieve a single month&#8217;s greatness on any meaningful level.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.alphapro.com\/junelooking12\/gopcartoon17.html\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.alphapro.com\/junelooking12\/images\/Republicans17.jpg?resize=474%2C474&#038;quality=60\" alt=\"not exercising your right to vote is a vote for Donald Trump\" width=\"474\" height=\"474\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Admittedly I am no cartoonist.

He then started writing for adult magazines while branching out into professional photography to augment his articles. He is perhaps best known for his Xtreme Weapons articles for Xtreme Magazine, his coverage of major adult entertainment events, and his interviews of famous feature entertainers. By the time he bought his beach front condo in Thailand, he had written over 100 articles for four adult magazines while shooting over 100,000 pictures of adult entertainers and key adult industry events. His experiences on his condo committee while dealing with a Second World culture provided the inspiration for \\\"Welcome to the Fun House\\\". Within a month after publishing \\\"Welcome to the Fun House, Jack published his 2nd edition of \\\"Death on the Wild Side\\\" which contains completely new pictures inside the novel along completely

clubs preparing his material. Soon after its publication he started up his alphapro web site and took the plunge into digital photography while when it was in its infancy. He then started writing for adult magazines while branching out into professional photography to augment his articles. He is perhaps best known for his Xtreme Weapons articles for Xtreme Magazine, his coverage of major adult entertainment events, and his interviews of famous feature entertainers. By the time he bought his beach front condo in Thailand, he had written over 100 articles for four adult magazines while shooting over 100,000 pictures of adult entertainers and key adult industry events. His experiences on his condo committee while dealing with a Second World culture provided the inspiration for \"Welcome to the Fun House\". Within a month after publishing \"Welcome to the Fun House, Jack published his 2nd edition of \"Death on the Wild Side\" which contains completely new pictures inside the novel along completely revamped front and back covers.","sameAs":["http:\/\/www.alphapro.com"]}]}},"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2dfXw-BL","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":1227,"url":"https:\/\/alphapro.com\/funhouse\/2014\/11\/04\/stop-koch-brothers\/","url_meta":{"origin":2341,"position":0},"title":"Stop Koch Brothers from stealing America.
