So Donald Trump wants Muslims to register ...

As the saying goes, "Those that don't remember history are doomed to repeat it."

Well, I for one, will not repeat the hatred, bigotry and cruelty that countries, including America, have shown in the past.

Since a picture is worth a thousand words, I'll let these speak for me.

Thank you.

Walmart, Thanksgiving and their employees - and you.

It seems sad to me that Walmart is plastering our televisions and cell phones with ads about how YOU can have a happy Thanksgiving when they are making nearly 1 million of their employees work, and for below living wages I might add. Nearly 1 Million Walmart Workers Will Have To Work On Thanksgiving Day

Their TV ads shows a family gathered around a food-decked dining table as mom brings in the turkey. The tag line is "all it takes to become part of the family is to sit down, give thanks and share a beautiful meal together," (Walmart TV Ad).

It's sad that nearly 1 Million Walmart employees and their families won't be able to take those words to heart.

Walmart is one of the largest grossing corporations in this country and yet most of their staff has to rely on food stamps because they are not paid a minimum wage. Walmart tends to hire the handicapped and that is terrific, but it seems they may do it because they are most likely ones that will not stand up for their rights because jobs are extra hard to come by. But to take advantage of anyone that is trying to earn a living wage is beyond disgusting.

If you shop at Walmart, take a moment and look at the employees that work there and see if you can, in good conscience, continue to support this mega conglomerate. One of the things that is bringing our country down is the amount of greed going on. All criminals are not in prisons and many don't even break the law. But they sure do know how to bend them to their advantage.

I stopped shopping at Walmart a little over a year and no temptation will make me ever shop their again. I hope you'll join me!

Two Days Ago, on Facebook ...

... someone told me they were going to vote Republican to "take back our country."

I'm sorry but just when, exactly, did we lose our country? Do we have a foreign militia walking our streets? No. Did we have a coo that now occupies our Whitehouse (or any government buildings, for that matter)? No. Do we have air strikes on our homes and stores daily? No. Do we have curfews because being out at certain times we're likely to be gunned down by snipers or abducted? No. Are our boys being stolen from their beds or their mother's arms and forced to fight for the enemy, with the fear of knowing that if they refuse they will be killed and so will their family? No.

This is not America. We have not lost our country. Those that tell you it's been lost are liars and schemers wanting to put the same fear in you that's in them.

So, if you want to see a people that have lost their country, visit Iran, Syria, and other Middle Eastern countries ... where people are fleeing for their LIVES. THOSE people have lost their countries.

Americans saying we've lost OUR country are liars, cowards and terrorist of the mind.

YOU SHOULD ALL BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES!
