as one who grew up with a profound hearing loss, I had to learn useful tools, that's tools, not fools....
In order to participate in life.
Now understand, or HEAR me correct, I didn't know any difference, I was in this condition from birth, so I didn't overcome this deficient by shear smartness, no, I just adapted to circumstance
Anyway, let me tell you what the candidates running slogan means, and how people might "hear" it.
Let's make America great again....
Yes, if you didn't experience that greatness, or felt not included, it could mean a return to those times.
Granted, we are a nation built on immigration, but I know firsthand, that the first part of the 20th century was NOT what it seems to be, or remembered.
My wife grew up with a Spanish speaking family, as that was her race. However, her generation, her mother, would not allow it in the house, or teach her children their native tongue.
Yeah, I get the argument, but that does not discount the fact that she felt she needed to assimilate at 100%, or be denied opportunity based on her heritage. She just didn't imagine this on her own, it had to be rooted upon life experiences, and is not making America great again....
I'm with her......
Hillary is using her gender as a means to get votes, the historical significance of that accomplishment, and yes, it is, no argument can be made otherwise....
Many were denied opportunity at greatness based on gender, period. They did not have the same opportunities afforded them because of their sex.
That goes against the pursuit of happiness, I am afraid.
However, if I say I won't vote for her merely because she is a poor representative of her gender, based upon character, then I am a sexist, even tho I am only saying her gender gives me not enough reason to vote for her....
I bought the historical black vote with Obama in the first election, and I feel I made a bad mistake.
I don't say this because of his race, no, but based on his leadership abilities, or lack thereof.
What did you say, sorry, I didn't hear you....???
I ain't typing this in my mini keypad again
