Election day is drawing closer and the founding fathers are rolling over in their graves. I don't think anyone will be too shocked to hear that they're not so pleased with the way this election season has progressed. Disbelief, outrage, flabbergast and pure disappointment are the ways they've described their feelings on election season this year.
Upon hearing about Trump's "small" loan of a million dollars from his father, Alexander Hamilton could be found furrowing his brow in confusion, wondering when such a sum became regarded as so admissible.
When Trump started spewing conspiracies about China creating global warming and then offered this golden quote to further demonstrate his lack of understand of the concept: "It's freezing and snowing in New York--we need global warming!" Sam Adams for one was very confused.
And, let's not forget the time he was so careless with his speech that Trump confused 7-eleven with 9/11.
Paul Revere was not impressed. He was even less impressed that time Trump said: “[John McCain’s] not a war hero. He’s a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren’t captured.”

And, let's not forget the debates. Starting as a country forged from the values of freedom and integrity, we've come quite a long way...by devolving, that is. It's no secret politics are quite corrupt, but for the presidential debates to be reduced to displays of 5th-grade-recess-esque bullying...seriously? This is what we've come to?
Those displays left GW looking like a dad saying, "What did I just say?" to two kids who immediately started bickering after he turned his back.
The times people are most patriotic are those when we recall the American Revolution or the brave, heroic work of our veterans. It all comes down to the values that this country has grown to foster: the facts that all are created equal and that we all have the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Granted, a lot of these things weren't upheld even in the time of our highly romanticized founding fathers. But as we move further forward, it is our job to ensure that these rights do apply to every single human being in this country. Not just males, not just whites, not just Muslims. At this point, no one should have to be telling us they're disappointed for us to know right from wrong. The fact is, both the republican and democratic presidential nominees are questionable. But only one is explicitly voicing his plans to violate human rights, completely disregarding the effect of his branding of our country.
