LETTER: Clinton must not be elected

Hillary Clinton has to be defeated. Her life is a big bubble, a joke, a life of protection by the Secret Service since her “husband” was elected president in 1992.

Since then she has cost the U.S. many good lives. She has done it covertly with allowing the attack on Benghazi when she was secretary of state in 2012. Or she has done it covertly with her bumbling of situations in the Middle East and North Africa.

Obama lives in that same bubble, setting the black movement back about 60 years. He hates America and Montana in particular.

My parents came from the Netherlands in the early 1900s and settled in Manhattan, Montana. They both were naturalized upon entrance to these once-great United States.

My father John arrived here well before World War II and took up apiculture, or beekeeping, in Manhattan. In 1946, he traveled our state with two others in search of new honeybee pasture. Dad John wanted to settle here in Kalispell for obvious reasons; the others started operations east of the mountains. I’m glad he chose here.

So it should come as no great shock that I am a state’s rights advocate.

Instead of wanting bigger federal government, such as more EPA, more entitlements, shrinking armed services, shrinking small businesses, I would urge a vote for Donald Trump in November. He seems to be the clear choice to get our country, the United States of America, growing out of the doldrums it finds itself in for the last several years.

The press is decidedly on the side of the Democrats; I am not sure why. But I do know that I’m not as proud of my UM Journalism school diploma as I was 10 years ago.

If Hillary (leading in some polls) wins the elections, I can no longer live in the U.S. The Netherlands is my likely destination. I still have a few first cousins living there who would likely welcome me.

Besides, there are likely fewer Middle East refugees there, people who have screwed up such European countries as U.K., France, Germany, Belgium and others.

Then you can have Hillary and enjoy the U.S. becoming a Third World country instead of the proud world leader that my immigrant parents once knew.

And good luck to you all. —Gene R. Speelman, Evergreen
