I think someone knows how crazy people on the right can be. They showed who they were on January sixth.
I have watched politicians on both sides fail to call out the lawlessness when r**ts, burning properties, l**ting businesses, attacking police stations and courthouses, and assualting people have occurred over the last year. Some of those same politicians have posted bail for the lawbreakers. Mayors and governors have told the police to stand down.
I have watched our politicians' name call people with opposing viewpoints. They suggested their own party's followers confront, make unwelcome, blacklist, jail people for daring to disagree with a prescribed perspective--in open Congress.
I have watched the politicians call for the expulsion of duly elected Congress members and the re-education of those who do not have the right political mindset.
I make no apology for believing God created male and female beings; scientific fact backs it up.
I resent our lawmakers reducing us to formless entities instead of celebrating our contributions to this nation as members of families with established familial identies.
I make no apology for believing men and women should go to restrooms, locker rooms that match their physical attributes.
I make no apology for believing we should live in the bodies God designed, instead of pretending a surgeon can alter our appearance and make us different sex than that which our DNA provides proof.
I believe life begins at conception, and a******n is k*****g that child. Every child, every baby, has a soul, even as every adult has a soul.
I don't believe in multiple g****rs. I believe God has given each one of us unique talents, life sk**ls, and strengths. We should use those sk**ls in the bodies he gave us.
I make no apology for thinking every v**er should have valid identification.
I make no apology for wanting legal immigrants.
I make no apology for wanting to protect our country's borders.
I don't believe material things are free. Someone, somewhere, must pay for it.
I have watched as persons on this forum vilified each other instead of having an open civil debate. I don't care which political party you blindly follow. I do care for you as an individual. I hope and pray that you think for yourself.
What are your beliefs, ideology? Can you articulate them? Or would you instead call others names, disrespect, or bully them?
I am horrified by the h**e spewed towards others on this forum. Closed minds are not open to learning, empathy, growth, or love toward one another. Hatred rots the host from within, leaving a warped perception of life.
The choice is and has always been our own. We can be the best person, the best role model for our family and community, or we can destroy our contributions to humanity by our rhetoric and our actions.
