Moral compass is broken

Let me get this straight. Hillary Clinton has obstructed justice by allowing her team to destroy government property known as emails, yet she knows nothing about it. This is leadership? Donald Trump has proven himself to be rude and crude. Leadership by intimidation and/or harassment?

Both are byproducts of our society’s morally decaying culture via movies, music, television programs, sports and the regulations that the politicians have promoted and passed as laws. Both candidates are power-hungry, seeing themselves above the laws of our nation, not to mention the Bible’s. A comment comes to my mind: It only counts as cheating if you get caught.

We need the Electoral College to equalize the urban versus the rural communities. Don’t eliminate it. What needs to be eliminated is the lobbyists. Is Ted Cruz correct when he said, “Vote your conscience”?
