Never be afraid to give voice to your political views

It is obvious to everyone that we live in a dangerously polarized political climate.  The left side of the political spectrum has demonstrated a remarkable hostility to anyone expressing political views that conflict with their Marxist ideologies.  All too often progressives. and other leftists, greet individuals espousing different political beliefs with anger, verbal abuse, and even threats of violence.

I have experienced this personally far too many times.  About ten years ago I came out of the closet politically as a Libertarian to my best friend of over twenty years, who is an ultra-liberal, in a public place.  My friend had no problem at that time with my confession.  Another person who overheard our conversation did take extreme offense.  After my friend left, that other person got in my face and berated me about my political views, going as far as to threaten me with violence.  My friendship with my best friend came crashing down several years later, months after we became Facebook friends, because he could not handle me posting my beliefs on social media.  He turned every post I made into an all-out war, full of ugly personal attacks. I never returned the favor because I had no problem with him sharing his political beliefs.

Since then, I have lost many close friends for the same reasons.  A startling number of friendships never got off the ground because they could not tolerate my right-wing beliefs.  This led me to be cautious when I comes to sharing my political beliefs, until I discern that that individual is a fellow right winger.  I have now realized that that was a major mistake.  I let these intolerant liberals intimidate me into silence.

Over the past weekend I was in the middle of a large group of individuals, with mixed political views, when the person behind started bad mouthing Biden.  Thus began a very boisterous political discussion between two outspoken right wingers.  I shared my Libertarian views with my new political comrade.  He agreed with my views because it turns out that he is a fellow Libertarian. 

A woman I knew to be a staunch progressive, who was sitting quite a distance away, approached me with a great many questions.  She really liked what I had said.  It had caused her to reexamine her political belief system.  It may take many more conversations, but she may end up becoming a fellow Libertarian.

I will never hesitate again when it comes to sharing my political beliefs with anyone.

Democrats are destroying the United States because they are true believers

It is self evident that modern Democrats live in a fantasy world.  A world where the most fundamental natural laws do not exist.  In order to exist in that world they must ignore reality.   Facts and evidence are meaningless.  All that matters is what they feel and believe.   The state of conscious they inhabit resembles that of mystics who belong to a primitive religion. 

Progressivism, and all other offshoots of Marxism, are primitive religions who worship a harsh and unforgiving god, the all powerful State.  Modern Democrats follow the same Marxist religious belief system.

Every individual is free to believe whatever they wish.  No one has a right to force their beliefs on anyone else.  Unfortunately leftists believe they have every right to force their religious beliefs on the rest of humanity.  They force others to follow their belief system.

If an individual follows a belief system that is completely devoid of reality, that individual alone suffers the consequences.  Because leftists force others to follow their belief system, others suffer the consequences. When Democrats gain power over a community they try to force their belief system on everyone in that community.  The entire community then suffers the negative consequences.

This is exactly what is happening here in the United States. Ever since the Democrats stole the presidential election from Donald Trump they have been forcing their Marxist belief system on the entire United States,  The entire United States is paying the price for the Democrats denial of reality.

Democrats believe that man made climate change is destroying the planet, with every fiber of their being.  Man made climate change only exists in deeply flawed computer models.  Because of the belief in man made climate change, Democrats are destroying the economy of the United States, by forcing us to abandon fossil fuels, in favor of deeply flawed wind and solar power.  Millions are suffering because of skyrocketing gas prices.  How many will die during extreme cold and heat because of brownouts caused by the abandonment of fossil fuels to generate electricity, in favor of wind and solar.

Democrats believe Marxism is superior to capitalism, despite the devastation caused Marxism, compared to the overwhelming prosperity brought about by capitalism.  Because they believe this Democrats are destroying the economy of the United States.

Because Democrats believe their Marxist philosophies are superior to the founding principles of the United States, they have indoctrinated countless children into this mistaken belief system, destroying our education system, and potentially our entire nation.

I am a Roman Catholic.  I believe my religion is the best religion.  I know I have no right to force my religion on any other individual.  I have never tried to.  The United States would still be the freest and most prosperous nation if Democrats did not force their Marxist religion on everyone else, in direct violation of the establishment clause of the First Amendment.

Of COURSE the Cops didn’t rush in, we’ve taught them not to.

So let me get this straight:

For two plus years the left and the media have been going after the police. You’ve had dem pols rushing to defunding then, attacks in media, academia, social media and in the various cultural bastions. You have them in a position where in some blue cities they won’t even answer calls for some serious crimes.

And after years of that you expect them, near the anniversary of the George Floyd incident to rush in guns blazing against a teen of color?

Like hell they are.!

That among other things, is why I have no respect for anything the left has to say about this business. This is exactly the police force they wanted. One that doesn’t go after criminals.

Unexpectedly of course

State Farm “Like a Creepy Neighbor” and 1970 League Opening Week Updates

Yesterday I concentrated on my team in the 1970 Draft league, if anyone is interested I managed to win game 3 as Mike Torrez pitched a complete game shutout and Ron Fairly added an insurance run with his first HR of the season for a 2-0 win, but Minnesota came to town and Willie Mays, Tony Perez, Cito Gaston and Duke Sims all homered against me which more than compensated for Pete Rose’s first blast of the year off Luis Tiant who remains a Pilot killer as Minnesota delivered a devastating 12-5 defeat in our first meeting.

However while that loss will have a minor effect on the standings of a 162 game season the State Farm “Like a Creepy Neighbor” story has had a stronger footprint as Don Surber notes:

when the week began, GenderCool had 23 corporate sponsors who funded the purchase of LGBT-friendly books and materials for kindergarteners and other kids in public schools. As of this afternoon, there are 13.

State Farm was the first. It was outed on Monday. An uproar ensued and forced the SJWs running the company to act like a good neighbor instead of the neighborhood pervert.

And what a difference a bit of sunlight makes:

After Wokenfreude hit State Farm, 9 other corporate sponsors either dropped GenderCool like a hot rock or asked that their sponsorship be placed on the QT.

The sponsors quietly distancing themselves are the USDA (Biden loves kids and in a sick way), General Mills, Adobe, Oracle, Capital One, Sprout Special, Bank of America, NBC Universal, Prudential and Indeed.

But it’s not all bad news for the groomers, The Allstate foundation has jined the groom crew and they managed some fundraising over the attention. Moreover the groom crew is getting some help from the Biden Administration:

K-12 schools must allow boys into girls’ private areas to obtain federal funds for lunches, breakfasts, and snacks, the Biden administration announced this month. A U.S. Department of Education spokesman told The Federalist the Biden administration’s press releases from several agencies announcing this policy will be followed by formal rulemaking in June.

So let boys into the girls bathroom in your kids school or no federal lunch programs for you!

I remember ten years ago when my co-host on the radio John Weston said this was the endgame of the Obama Years and people didn’t believe him. Events have proved him prophetic.
