Making your own Rain

You are making your Raindrops this week....

Hate.  What is in the word Hate?  Where did this hate come from?  THE ELECTION!  Everyone wants to scream that it came from Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton, President Obama!  Wrong.  Hate exists.  It is a form of emotion.  It has been around for centuries and it is up to us to find a cure.  It is becoming an illness!  Look, look around you.  Look at what is going on. 

Social media is going crazy, newspapers and media outlets are on call waiting for President Elect Donald Trump to make his next mistake.  Now let me ask you, did you ever make a mistake?  Did George W. Bush ever make a mistake?  Wait a minute...  If I have this right, Bill Clinton made a lot of mistakes!  Where were those riots?  Hang on, did I just say riots?  RIOTS.  People are beating each other, throwing rocks through windows, burning American Flags, lighting cars on fire.  Why?  All because their candidate didn't win the election for POTUS.  Are you even kidding me right now?

What is happening to our world?  Our past Presidents are rolling in their graves.  What would John F. Kennedy think?  Abraham Lincoln worked to abolish slavery, and Reagan endorsed less Government involvement in people's lives and lower taxes to boost the economy.  Reagan was a Republican folks.  Each President has had their own ups and downs.  No one President is perfect.  No one person is perfect.

I am not here to make political statements, get you to like my candidate.  I am here to tell you all that Hate exists.  It has existed forever and it didn't start on November 8, 2016.  People need to calm down.  Remember that we are America.  We are a United States of America.  We are not all racists, we are not all homophobes, skinheads, rednecks, heck we may not even be a fan of our parties' candidate... but we are human.  We should respect one another and that should be above anything else. 

The things I have seen this week are horrendous and some quite laughable.  Memes of signs that say "Nebraska, Super Racist, But not to Your Face."  I have been called a Nazi Racist for not even saying a single racist remark.  I have been cursed at.  At the same time, I have seen articles about Trauma Counseling being set up for students at colleges because their candidate didn't win.  Are you even kidding me right now?  GROW UP AMERICA!  What is our Nation coming to?  You are making your Raindrops this week... 

Everyone, and I mean everyone needs to remember our Bill of Rights this week as they speak and walk around our beautiful community, State and Country. 

I'll leave this here for you to contemplate.  Please, think before you speak or react.  It will make your life a much happier one.  Don't create those Puddles in your life...  be Proud to Be an American.  No matter who is in "charge".  Stand up and thank those who have fought for our rights and freedom.  We are in the land of the free and home of the brave.

 "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."-First Amendment to the Constitution

Freedom of assembly has to be balanced with other people's rights if it disrupts public order, traffic flow, freedom to go about normal business or peace and quiet.

Stop the violence, it is not your right to disrupt our life... even though you think it may be.
