The thoughts and ideas expressed below are exclusively those of Jack Straley and www.justplaintalkwithjack.com  We may agree, and that’s fine, or we may disagree, that’s okay too.  My sole purpose is to encourage others to think, study, and become involved. Exercise your freedom and above all, when presented the opportunity, please vote.

In this great country one can get a roadmap, or GPS. And a reliable vehicle and go carefree to almost any point they would like to see.  Today we find ourselves traveling another path that many have no idea where it is leading.  We need more than a gadget to tell us the right turn to make and the best destination to look for.

I imagine myself in my car speeding along and in the distance I see I have to make a decision.  There is a “T” intersection and I must choose which road I will take.  On the sign there are two words of instruction.  One arrow points right and simply states FREEDOM, while the other choice has an arrow pointing left that states “CONTROL”  That is the intersection we all are at today, what direction will we choose.  Unfortunately we are to a large part uneducated and not qualified to make the correct choice.  We have many people that have diplomas, degrees, titles and honorariums yet remain uneducated in real life as a working people.  We have truck drivers, farmers, oil field workers and laborers that have a much more rounded education and are not shamed to act on the lessons they have learned.

Just suppose we were to choose to turn to the left and follow that track.  We have one political party that would promise us anything we ever wanted for free.  This party would offer free medical to every legal or illegal person living within our borders.  Free education and welfare would be pushed to everyone.  Free enterprise would be eliminated and corporations would be run by the government with price controls for every product.  If you are having trouble purchasing your first home, don’t worry, Uncle Sam will come to the rescue.  He will inflate the prices for cheap housing and give you money for a down payment whether you can afford the continuing payments are not.  Child care is not a problem, Uncle Sam will handle it.

Our environment and national population will be controlled by the governing body.  Green energy, no matter how senseless will work because we are told it will.  Some politicians say we can control inflation, pollution and social issues through abortion and limiting population growth.  Fairness will be insured by distributing wealth to all on a basis as seen fit by the ruling elite.  We will live in a world of control by the socialistas with no right to determine our own futures.

If we are fortunate enough to turn right our world would be completely different.  Capitalism would thrive, rewards for hard work would be realized, freedom of religion and assembly would remain intact.  The right to own and bear arms would be available to all.  Most importantly women’s rights would not be obstructed in any manner.  Their body, their choice would be the rule.  They only need to realize that when playing with loaded guns be prepared for the unexpected to occur and the answer is not murder.

If we continue down the road we most likely will encounter another intersection with a similar sign.  This time the arrow pointing left is paired with the words evil while the arrow pointing right simply states good.  This is the same choice we had earlier just with different descriptors.  I am looking for the one person that identifies as a Democrat while at the same time contradicts their leanings calling themselves Christians.  I long to find the Democrat that can explain their reasons for hating Trump as they do.

The forces of evil, controlled by Satan, never stop working to promote their life of sinful pleasures.  This is the road the Democrat Party would prefer we travel.  We could give all control to evil, power hungry sources or we strengthen our resolve to fight for Freedom, Good, and self determination.  Which will you choose.

It is not a crime to remain uneducated or stupid, but it is unfair to yourself.  Yes I am a Trump supporter.  I wear my Trump hat almost every time I go outside.  It’s not much of a statement, but is publicly declaring my support.  I am amazed how many people comment favorably on my cap but don’t wear one themselves.  Show your support it change someone else’s view of things, we can all do something.

Vote smart, vote early, vote often, vote by mail, vote in person and above all else vote for others when possible.
