I'm ready to smack the hell out of any of those people at this point.
You know, I've often suspected those "parades" were perpetrated by a tiny but very vocal and vile group who want to relish in the public displays of depravity.
Granted, I'd be disgusted if it were a bunch of straight people having an orgy or party showing off whatever they do in the privacy of their own bedrooms, so it's not directed any one particular group or another. It's just that I think the leftists feel they have a license to do anything they want.
Which, thinking over the rest of what you wrote, the disease we're facing is what the left has done to our society at large. It's disappointing to me that the gay/queer community largely shies away from the right (maybe because they fear we're "bigots?"), because the reality is that the left is quickly succumbing to authoritarian fetishism where they want total control of everything.
I'm hopeful this is changing given that Trump increased support among the "LGBTBBQ+3.141592653589" crowd (sorry, had to). He single-handedly illustrated that "big tent" constitutionalism[1] is open to anyone. We don't care who you are, just as long as you believe in liberty and the sanctity of the US constitutional authority.
It isn't much, but I'll pray for you and for those you know, that you will be given strength and courage to spread the message and the idea that America really is the greatest nation on Earth. We are a fortunate people to live here, at this point in time, where this American experiment has given us so much.
[1] I'm somewhat reluctant to identify it as conservatism, because conservatism has been largely derailed and subjugated by the neocons and GOPe interests.
asks me how I dealt with such a 'hard' life. Like excuse me?
lol... wow.
I admit that one of the things that annoys me with their sentiment is that we have it really damn easy here in the US. Doesn't really matter who we are. We take it for granted.
Look at other countries where they hang people for being gay. Or torture them to death. Or shoot up churches. Or abduct and torture people for their faith. Or... well... you get the idea.
We've got to be grateful for what we have. Sure, we could do better. Everyone could. But I think what's most disappointing from the left is their fixation on all of the negatives that have happened in US history.
Under Trump though I found solace. Love for my country and my people. It's lit a fire in me.
You and me both, my friend.
I've been a repub since I registered to vote at 18. I've been a conservative all my life. I don't identify as one anymore because the neocons have ruined anything the "conservative" ideology represented. The GOPe did the rest. Over the last 4 years, I've increasingly referred to myself as a Constitutionalist.
There's really no other option for us, and I honestly hope Trump creates a separate party. Let's cast aside the shackles of identity and finally identify as Americans, first and foremost, and give a big middle finger to anyone who wants to divide us or destroy us.
I used to hate this place. Not anymore. I've seen the error in my ways.
This gives me so much hope that if we can just open hearts and minds, many more will follow in your footsteps and realize that we're not evil on the right. Many of us just want to be left alone.
I'm thinking that the left having shown their hand as authoritarian fetishists has helped recently. I don't know if it's enough. I hope so.
I want to bond over our patriotism. And fight commies together. Lol. Conservatism has certainly been hijacked by RINOs with only themselves in mind, and that's awful.
EXACTLY. On all counts, I might add.
It's all the neocons too. The Bushes. The Roves. The long litany of idiot "conservatives" who spend their time in backroom deals with the left conspiring over how to ruin the country and line their pockets with riches robbed from the treasury.
Universities have long taught that patriotism is evil. It's high time we ended that!
I appreciate your prayers and kind thoughts. Thank you for being not only a really awesome pede and Patriot, but also just a kind human.
I thank you for your hospitality, kindness, and patience. I'm long-winded, so I appreciate that you took the time to reply to everything I wrote. I really do.
