old man 76's JournalOn Trump, Conservatives and Muslims
For the last few days I have been hearing the comments from the conservative side on the Muslim situation. They range from the mild to not letting Muslims into the country, putting security on mosques, plus registering all Muslims. The extreme was a nice lady from South Carolina who thought we should bomb their homes and families. If we didn’t, they would only keep reproducing. Well bless her little heart. As an old man I have seen the U.S. meddle in foreign affairs a little too much in some cases. We have gone the route of regime change and nation building. Also the notion of taking the land and occupying it for the next hundred years, if necessary, also known as an endless war. Nothing has worked so far and we are not safer. It is hard for conservatives to grasp the notion that around fifty countries are predominantly Muslim and about twenty five percent of the world population is Muslim. It would be quite a job to subjugate that many people. I will leave the solution to better minds then mine. I just hope that it won’t be left to Trump and conservatives to decide a solution.
The state of the state of Maine
Last spring my wife went to the mid-west to attend a graduation . AT O'Hara she meet other people taking the same flight to Portland when they found she lived in Maine the first question was what's with your governor. She sort of slid by the subject and said I won't admit to being a native if I travel again. That was last spring. This morning the front page of the Waterville Sentinel had an article on the governor possibly being reprimanded or even impeached for misuse of power. This little tidbit was followed by a move to subpoena officials at the department of human services. Every day it seems like the governor or his staff has maybe over stepped the line some where. It is really sad when you must explain why your state government is in shambles. What is even harder is to justify why he was elected to a second term.
