It has taken a long time for me to realize the power of hate.  Love is an emotion that has to be learned, nurtured and practiced while hate as well as fear is a trait or characteristic we are all born with and practice naturally.

Being a natural instinct there is great power with hate.  The power of hate has become evident in recent days as it shows its ugly face across our country.  Hate can and does overpower the strength of reason and compassion.  We have seen the tremendous hate for one person, our president, become so overwhelming that the love of our country and fellow countrymen has been relegated to the back recesses of our minds.

The hate for our president being displayed by some forces is undermining the economic wellbeing of our nation.  The most basic tenets of law and order are being cast aside due to the rampant feelings of hate.  Justice, which so many say they are seeking, can never be found or served with hate as the basis for the seeking.  We have parents teaching young children to fear authority and authorities rather than to respect these same figures of authority.

Unfortunately in today’s world it is an all too frequent occurrence of hearing about the police shooting and killing a young candidate for sainthood.  In truth this did not happen.  Rare is the instance when the person defying authority has no criminal record and is unarmed and not a threat to others.  Had the individual been taught, or if taught, acted in a way as to obey authorities and respect others and their property the event would never have taken place.  I have never heard of a similar situation being the first time the individual had a confrontation with the police.

I personally don’t care if someone hates another person or not.  I can only work on and control my feelings of love, hate or understanding.  The only way this nation can become united is to get over the hate being held for our president and learn to love our country just as strongly.  The rule of law and order must return.  If you are unhappy with our world, work to change it, but do it legally and calmly.

The approaching election is critical.  We cannot freely select a group of socialists to take control of our proud nation.  We must have conservative patriots running our country.  We must re-elect Donald Trump to the position of President. Freedom loving people have no other choice.  No matter the outcome of the pending election, accept the results and strive to make America greater than ever before.  We can each contribute to a strong proud America if we don’t use our power to demonstrate unbridled hate toward the President, no matter who it might be.

Become informed, become active, erase the hate and vote for conservative leadership for our country.  We need Donald Trump to lead for another four years.
