Can’t cure my U.S. is a-sliding, election blues

Think about how far we have regressed as a nation in just over a year. A year ago, Christians were allowed to voice opposition to homosexuality on Biblical (theological) grounds – not so now. A man wearing a dress and claiming to be a woman following a girl into a woman’s bathroom was a criminal – now I am a criminal if I stop him.

Speech deemed as being anti-transgender is verboten. A year ago, I could freely speak out if I believed that so-called “global warming” was bad science, now the Democratic Party platform is calling for the prosecution of all such skeptics.

Now we are faced with an election between a Democratic feminist harridan and member of the Clinton Crime Syndicate under investigation by the FBI; a GOP potty-mouthed, uncouth, unhinged, arrogant blowhard and grifter with a narcissistic personality disorder; a Libertarian who wants to legalize pot nationwide and who evidently is comfortable with millions of stoners aiming their cars at us; and the Green Party, which wants to criminalize my beliefs and deny me my First Amendment rights. Has it come to this?
