The Fish Stinks

There is an expression that the fish stinks from the head down. America is the fish and Obama is the head. This morning I woke up to find that 11 Dallas police officers were ambushed by snipers at a police protest. Five are dead and six are critical. The police pushed the protesters to safety as they were being shot at. This is an all too common event in a country that used to be in control of itself. When your leader is a racist there becomes a racial disparity. When you condone an atmosphere where only one "color" of lives matter, hate will grow. When you fault law enforcement for doing its job, chaos will appear. When you mourn for the predators and vilify the peacekeepers, you will open a Pandora's box that will be hard to close. Our "leader" made a speech saying that this act was despicable. He had no feeling as he spoke and the words felt empty. He does not care that children lost their fathers and parents lost their sons. Maybe he will give the snipers the Medal of Honor. How would he feel if his loved ones were assassinated? Would he defend the killers as misguided individuals only in need of a job? This November America has a choice. Elect a corrupt liar or a man who might be extreme but has the country's best interests in his heart. Maybe we need to go to the opposite end of the spectrum in order to eventually regain what an inept, inexperienced,anti American president has left as his legacy. I pray for the Dallas officers that were killed. May they all rest in peace.
