When will U.S meet its challenge?
Sucking oxygen out of the room, a self-made billionaire masquerades as a legitimate presidential candidate with virtually no appreciation for our Constitution's three equal branches of government, seemingly lost in the pronoun, "I".
Presumptive nominee on the other side, former Secretary of State/U.S. Senator, displays abject contempt for the concept of transparency, squirming to deceive and divert attention from "lost" classified emails while enjoying clandestine, sleazy donations from a borderline criminal foundation.
Enter an extremely biased press, void any semblance of objectivity, thoroughly bent upon making news rather than simply reporting fact.
End result and truth be told, we elect the wrong people for the wrong reasons.
The year 2016 provides every American the unique opportunity to rise above the unbridled poison, yellow journalism of the mainstream press. Social media, technology-driven, eliminates any excuse for complacency or false claim of ignorance.
Domestically, an obscenely obese government threatens to smother individual liberty while across an increasingly dangerous globe people look to America to assume her leadership role after an eight-year, self-induced absence. We collectively possess ultimate power to limit, constrain our own government while setting an example for freedom-loving people everywhere through our vigilance and engagement. Will we finally accept this awesome challenge?
