An Appeal to Conservative Women

           Despite the stereotype of the pie making, stand by your man conservative woman, we all know you are not timid or insecure. Personally, I truly believe the heart of a conservative woman is solvent and virtuous. Using the perspective of the Mother Hen and a gut feeling, you are absolutely aware and forthcoming when it comes to the health and welfare of your family. Deep down inside you always know what’s best for your family. For this reason, I wanted to reach out to you to see if you’ve considered what it means to support conservative positions on the issues that actually affect the quality of life for you and your family. You may not know it, but you just might be the ‘voice of reason’ that decides the future of this country as well as the future your family will have to survive in. So, let’s look at what Conservatism currently supports and if it really represents the best possible life for you, your family situation and the lives of your children and grandchildren in the not too distant future.

First, in order for you to fully grasp the issues I intend to point out, I hope you understand that the information or “News” that is being fed to us all, liberal, conservative, independent alike, is carefully designed spin and propaganda and seldom the truth. The entire media is owned by just 6 mega wealthy corporations and the owners of those corporations try to deceive and manipulate all of us so we won’t focus on how they achieve such enormous profits at our expense. These same mega wealthy greedy bastards also own pieces of the oil industry, the insurance industry, the financial institutions, health care and big pharma, Wall Street and most importantly - The Military Industrial Complex. The common denominator with all of the above is that they love Power and Money! Certainly more than they love this Country or the people who inhabit it. What’s worse is they are never satisfied, they want even MORE! The bottom line is they are selfish sociopaths and have no conscience. They just want more and they don’t care at whose expense.

They are the ultra-wealthy and they use the power of the media they own to influence our judgement and thinking.  They want us to think about anything else other than why life for our families is so perilous and difficult. They don’t want us to pay attention to who is hording trillions of American dollars in off-shore accounts, avoiding taxes, money that otherwise would be circulating through our economy making everything better for all of us. That’s why they push issues on us that don’t really matter when it comes to the economic stature of our family’s existence. They just want us to be distracted from the truth. Because if we understood what really has happened to the former wealth of the American middle class and who has stolen it from us, most likely, we'd do something about it!

This is what’s happening to us right now in our beloved United States of America. This is why there is such a fervor of anxiety going on in this election. Why both sides are engaging in venomous vilification instead of focusing on the actual issues facing middle class America. We, as a whole, as Americans, simply cannot make a grave mistake at this time in our history! So please understand, we are all being deceived and manipulated and there are certain hypocrisies’ that prove this truth.

Below, please see if you agree with the positions conservative legislators take that are directly going to affect the future of our families and the future we leave for our children and grandchildren.

A.)  Global Warming – Climate Change; Whatever you want to call it. Republicans in the House and Senate and their conservative propaganda machine have convinced Republican constituents that global warming is a hoax. The over whelming majority of actual scientists worldwide agree it is real. Rejecting climate change doesn’t make sense unless Republican legislators are trying to protect the profits of the oil companies. Even if it is a hoax, wouldn’t it make sense for you and your family’s future to move toward clean energy in order to save our beautiful blue skies and stop relying on oil from the Middle East? The other absurd ignorance about this issue is the fact that moving towards renewable energies like wind and solar would create thousands of American jobs! Notice how they're trying to save a dying, heavily polluting coal industry owned by the mega-wealthy? How they put the word "Clean" in front of coal trying to convince you that 'Clean Coal' actually burns clean? It does not. It simply does not make any sense to deny the reality of climate change. It simply does not make any sense at all to continue polluting this beautiful planet by burning fossil fuels. Republican legislators continue to vote for policies supporting the oil and fossil fuel industries and denying climate change is one of them.

B.)   Guns, guns, guns and more guns! Is living in a gun laden society really what you want for your family? Is it a conservative ideal to make semi-automatic war rifles, designed to kill as many people as quickly and thoroughly as possible, a part of American life? Are you okay with ‘Open Carry’? The NRA and gun lobbyists have successfully convinced conservatives that they need to fear their government. That their government is going to declare Marshall Law and take their guns, their homes and do what to them? Kill them? Or that criminals and crime is so rampant, you need to be ready to protect yourself with high powered military style weapons? When in fact, crime is down overall across the U.S. - The NRA is the marketing tool for the gun manufacturers and they are very close to achieving their ultimate goal. The goal of scaring us so deeply that even Americans who normally would not have anything to do with guns, will now have to buy them to protect themselves and their families from the potentially crazy gun owners who have been told by the man on the radio that their country is being taken away from them. Right now, an American citizen that is a known ISIS sympathizer and on the U.S. no fly list can simply walk into a gun store or gun show and buy a made for war, high velocity killing weapon with no problem. Thank You NRA. Are you as a conservative okay with this? Is this what you want for you and your family? Any product sold to the public in these United States of America is open to law suits if that product harms a citizen in any way, yet Republicans have successfully passed legislation that holds gun manufacturers exempt from liability if one of their guns harms any citizen. Unbelievable! If Republicans get control you can count on even more legislation that makes assault weapons more available to anyone and everyone. Be prepared for more domestic mass shootings!

C.)   Immigration: This is one of those non-issues being pushed on the American public by Republicans. This is one of the issues Republicans use to cloud our minds so we won’t look deeper into where the real blame for our troubled society lies. Here are 5 facts about undocumented immigrant workers you won’t hear on Fox News or from Trump because it will show that undocumented migrant workers do not impact Americans in even a mildly significant way except that the fruits and vegetables we eat are affordable because of their inexpensive labor. (Source: The Pew Research Center, Department of Agriculture and the U.S Census)

Fact #1 - There were 11.3 million unauthorized immigrants in the U.S. in 2014 and currently makes up 3.5% of the nation’s population. This number is down from 4% - 12.2 million in 2007. Down, as in less illegal immigrants entering the U.S.

Fact #2 - Undocumented Mexicans make up about half of all unauthorized immigrants (49%), though their numbers have been declining in recent years. There were 5.6 million Mexican unauthorized immigrants living in the U.S. in 2014, down from 6.4 million in 2009. When Republicans use that figure of over 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the U.S. just over half of them are not Mexican. They are mostly Eastern Europeans, Asians, Africans and Middle Easterners. So, there is not a flood of Mexicans pouring across the border as Trump or the man on the radio would have you believe. The “Wall” is not necessary and realistically not even doable.

Fact #3 - Six states alone account for 60% of unauthorized immigrants - California, Texas, Florida, New York, New Jersey and Illinois.

Fact #4 - Unauthorized immigrants make up 5.1% of the U.S. labor force. There were 8.1 million unauthorized immigrants either working or looking for work in 2012 and the vast majority of the jobs they were occupying were jobs Americans were likely not capable of or just did not want to do. Illegal Mexicans make up less than 3% of the U.S. workforce. Less than 3%!

Fact #5 - Welfare and Taxes. According to 2013 data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which administers the SNAP program, 40.2 percent of SNAP recipients are white, 25.7 percent are black, 10.3 percent are Hispanic, 2.1 percent are Asian and 1.2 percent were Native American. Illegals do pay taxes. They pay taxes when purchasing goods and services like fuel, utilities, clothes, shoes, tools, equipment, materials, etc. They may not pay income taxes but neither do legal workers who work for a wage below the poverty level which is usually the case for undocumented workers.

Immigration is the foundation of Trump’s campaign and it is directed at Mexicans and the southern border. As you can see from the factual data above, immigration is a non-issue. It does not impact your family’s economic welfare at all, unless of course, you and/or your children plan to have a career picking fruits and vegetables.

D.)  Private money in our elections;  Republicans and the lopsided Supreme Court declared that a corporation is a person in the now infamous “Citizens United” ruling. This means large power hungry corporations can secretly fund a candidate that will be sympathetic to their interests with Millions of dollars. Foreign countries can also go through channels like “Super Pacs” to fund candidates they feel they can influence. A state’s legislature can be impacted by outside money. In short, the entirety of our election process can now be bought and influenced by secretive funding sources. This was brought to us by Republicans for the benefit of their true bosses, the mega wealthy. Having huge campaign budgets also leads to more nastiness and negative discourse instead of concentrating on the issues.

E.)  Equal Pay for Equal Work;  The Republican congress has repeatedly voted against legislation that would make it illegal for an employer to pay a woman less than her male counterpart for the same work. As a conservative woman are you okay with this? Do you have daughters or granddaughters? Don’t you want them to be treated fairly and with respect?

F.)   Pro Life/Pro Choice; This is a difficult issue. I think all of us can agree that abortion is an ugly human circumstance. But we are mankind and we Fuck! A lot! And most of the time with abandon. We cannot seem to grasp the concept of sex without procreation. In some cases we shoot ourselves in the foot by condemning both abortion AND the use of contraceptives! I often pose this question to stringent pro-life’ers,… “How many unwanted babies can you take care of from the time they are born to the time they are 18 years old? How many?”  I'm usually met with silent bewilderment.

Another interesting irony is this, conservatives are constantly screaming “Get the federal government out of my life!” and yet they want to pass tough laws punishing women who make the choice to abort a pregnancy. Why aren’t the men who impregnate women held accountable? Does abortion really impact the economic aspect of your family? No it does not. Abortion is an issue that those who are trying to mislead us love. They use it to keep our minds off of where the money went. Why don’t we just leave it up to the Lord as to how he/she will punish people who abort pregnancies?

G.)  Veterans Affairs; Republicans love war. It makes their bosses at the Military Industrial Complex a lot of money, billions in fact. In turn, Republicans running for re-election can count on their financial support, and the circle of corruption continues. They could care less whose Sons and Daughters they send over there to be maimed or killed. This was proven by Bush and his cronies who started the Iraq war based on lies about weapons of mass destruction and was supported by every single Republican in office and a lot of Democrats as well. Of course the other reason Bush needed a war was because his approval rating was very low and the election for his second term was coming up. He was well aware that no sitting president had ever lost an election when the country was at war. That war cost us dearly and the after effects will plaque the whole world for decades to come. Republicans are very vocal about praising our brave soldiers, they put on a great act, but when it comes to actual legislation that benefits military families, Republicans fall short.

Here’s a list of recent bills that were written to help veterans but were blocked by the Republican house and senate.

1.)   2010 – The Homeless Women Veterans and Homeless Veterans with Children Act

2.)   2012 – The Veterans Job Corps Act

3.)   2014 – The Veterans Health and Benefits and Military Pay Restoration Act

4.)   2014 – The Women Veterans and Health Services Act

5.)   2015 – The Veterans Affairs Funding Act

All blocked. They are eager to spend trillions of tax payers dollars on war and praise you as patriotic for sending your kids, but when it comes time to take care of our veterans after they come home,… They don’t want to spend a dime. They simply want to keep every dollar they can, ready for their next war,… which if Trump is elected will most likely be first in Syria and then Iran, and if all goes well, why not North Korea too! We’re fighting wars so that those mega-wealthy SOB’s who own a part of the Military Industrial Complex can tap into our tax dollars in order to get even wealthier. Period! Take the profit out of war and there most likely will not be any more wars.

So,

Above, I have outlined six conservative talking points and topics that are at the forefront of their bid for election in 2016. If you understand the data I have presented and do your own research so you know this isn’t just a bunch of made up hooey, it’s easy to see that deep down inside you really don’t agree with the mainstream positions being promoted by Republican legislators. They simply do not represent your family’s best interests.

Last, I would ask you to think about one more thing,... Reality! Yes,… Reality.

Consider the reality of either Trump or Hilary being elected and believe me when I say that the Human Political Party does not like either of them. Most analysts and pundits across the board agree; If Hilary is elected we can expect more of the same, and if your honest with yourself you know that over the past seven years, we the American people, along with the leadership of our President, have successfully revived our economy and overall wellness from the dismal condition we were in when Bush left office. So more of the same might not be such a bad thing for now, because If Trump is elected, it’s a crap shoot! We have no idea what kind of chaos he will get us into. Most agree the overall world economy will slow and most likely tank. Investors who were considering new ventures, companies around the world who were thinking of expanding and new businesses will all slow or stop. The housing market will eventually crash again and everyone including the general public whom are aware and informed are going to hold on to their money until they see what this crazy fool might do. The only ones who will be licking their chops in glorious anticipation will be those who own a piece of the military industrial complex. Trump is already setting the table by telling his followers our military is depleted and needs billions of our tax dollars to build it up again when in fact, the U.S military is larger and stronger than the next largest 13 countries combined! They know Trump will more than likely do what they want and send troops into Syria, followed by a massive and devastating war with Iran. Then, while America is weak and weary from these wars, Russia, China and North Korea will chew Trump up and spit on America. Do you really want to risk the future of your family on an unpredictable narcissist like Trump?
