Numbers From the Presidential General Election

___After getting these numbers, it appears to me that the Founding Fathers, in creating the Electoral College, had more wisdom than they are being given credit by the Green Party Candidate, the Clinton Campaign and a group of washed-up Hollywood "celebrities" who have, in one way or another, tried to overturn the General Elections results.

___There are 3,141 counties in the United States. Trump won 3,084 of them; Clinton won 57.

___There are 62 counties in New York State. Trump won 46 of them; Clinton won 16.

___Clinton won the popular vote by about 1.5 million votes (the extra votes won by Trump after that recount not withstanding).

___In the five counties that encompass New York City (Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Richmond and Queens) Clinton received well over 2 million more votes than Trump. Clinton won four of the counties; Trump won Richmond. These four counties alone more than accounted for Clinton winning the popular vote of the entire country.

___These 5 counties comprise 319 square miles. The United States is comprised of 3,797,000 square miles. When you have a country that encompasses almost 4 million square miles of territory, in my opinion it would be ludicrous to even suggest that the vote of those who inhabit a mere 319 square miles should dictate the outcome of a national election.

___Large, densely populated cities (NYC, Chicago, LA, etc) don't and shouldn't speak for the rest of our country. Yes, these are Democrat-controlled cities - maybe the reason for all the efforts to overturn the General Election. However, I would feel the same way - the Electoral College made the election the real will of our citizens. Clinton did not win the popular vote of the United States - she won the popular vote of New York City.

___I took an oath to defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, both foreign and domestic, and to obey the lawful orders of the President of the United States. The candidate for whom I voted didn't always win; but, I supported the elected Commander-in-Chief always no matter who was elected. In recent years I have voted more against a candidate than for a candidate. This General Election as one of them - I voted against the corrupt one. In the local election all candidates were so bad for two offices that I wrote in Mickey Mouse and Snow White rather than cast a vote for either low-life, corrupt individual.

___I just heard that the Constitution was upheld. Trump won the Electoral College vote. Sorry, whiners. All of us must follow the law. If we don't like a law - or an aspect of our Constitution - there is a legal process for change. No whining is not that lawful process.

___I still am waiting for Streisand, Sharpton and others to fulfill their promises and move to Canada. Sorry Canada.

The United States Has Changed Dramatically in the Last 7+ Years

I used to think I was just a regular guy, but I was born white, which now, whether I like it or not, makes me a racist.

I am a fiscal and moral conservative, which by today’s standards, makes me a fascist.

I am heterosexual, which according to gay folks, now makes me a homophobe.

I am non-union, which makes me a traitor to the working class and an ally of big business.

I am a Christian, which now labels me as an infidel.

I believe in the 2nd Amendment, which now makes me a member of the vast gun lobby.

I am older than 70 and retired, which makes me a useless old man.

I think and I reason, therefore I doubt much that the main stream media tells me, which must make me a reactionary.

I am proud of my heritage and our inclusive American culture, which makes me a xenophobe.

I value my safety and that of my family and I appreciate the police and the legal system, which makes me a right-wing extremist.

I believe in hard work, fair play, and fair compensation according to each individual’s merits, which today makes me an anti-socialist.

I (and most people I know), acquired a fair education without student loans (it’s called work) and no debt at graduation, which makes me some kind of an odd underachiever.

I believe in the defense and protection of the homeland for and by all citizens and I honor those who served in the Armed Forces, which now makes me a militant.

American Citizenship Defined

___Whether you agree or not, you are not an American citizen just because you were born here. The definition in the 14th Amendment also requires allegiance (support the jurisdiction thereof) to the United States Constitution as our basis for and supreme law.

___That means that convicted felons are not citizens and may not vote. If they are allowed to vote, then those who allowed the illegal act are not citizens either. Leaders in "sanctuary cities" are also not citizens!

___We desire immigration of those with sole allegiance to the United States Constitution. The Congress should make constitutional laws controlling immigration, and these laws must be enforced. In that way, all American citizens benefit.
