I will not address this to any one particular set of people, you know who you are.
I am truly fed up with being labeled and insulted by the various News services, Op-Ed writers and of course politicians in general. It is obvious that many of you have no idea what life is like outside of your own little circle.
So who's insulting you and how? You've pulled out a very broad brush and you don't really seem to care just who you paint with it. Are liberal Op Ed writers that much different than conservative one's? If you are tired of people who label you don't pay any attention to them--that what I do with you regressive's--ignore you. We all have our opinions and we all have a right to express them. What we don't have a right to do is force each other to listen.

Of course you go out and interview, take polls and the like but really, you have no idea. I’ve watched as you (speaking of labels) yes, you people have systematically torn my country apart. Education, Medicine, the very social fabric that holds us all together has been destroyed by you. Everything that has made this country great is under attack by you and your ilk.
Of course you are far more educated than we unwashed masses could ever hope to be. We could never understand the deep learning and knowledge that your kind has attained.
This is obvious because we can see the unbridled string of successes you have had in social engineering, diplomacy and all the other hot button issues. I need look no further than the payroll taxes taken from my weekly paycheck to become angry all over again.

Hey, if you don't like taxes then tell your politicians to eliminate them. You guys have the house, the senate, and the presidency. Don't blame progressives if you can't get them to do what you want. And just how have we torn "YOUR" country apart? Conservatives didn't start public education and if not for progressives you would still be educated in your out houses. As for "medicine" just what are you trying to blame on us? It would help if you could be a bit more specific. And just what "everything" that has made this country great are we progressives attacking?

So here are a few issues that perhaps you could explain your reasoning to me.
A gun is a tool period. I don’t have the free time or the inclination to hunt. If someone is so inclined, great!
If I am doing carpenter work on my farm I will likely use a hammer and a saw. Both are potentially lethal weapons and a danger to the user as well as any bystanders if used incorrectly.
If the Coyote is stealing my chickens or worse threatening my grandchildren I will use a gun to eliminate the threat. I’d rather hope the fence will keep him away, but sometimes they slip through. I hate to harm anything if there is no need.

And if saws and hammers are used in a manner that is a danger to others then they will be more heavily regulated. Is there a reason we can't expect the same for guns?

Domestic arguments and other disagreements will come and are usually best solved by walking away, cooling off and most of all by love and respect.
Of course we all disagree at times, but to harm or kill another person is beyond my understanding. Thanks to the moral breakdown that, really, you have helped to create, well bullets are flying!
And how are domestic arguments the fault of progressives? We aren't the ones who think everyone should have and carry a gun 24/7 you are. Put a gun in the hands of someone who has a temper and don't blame a liberal for the result.

You say we cling to our religion and guns? Until you can prove me wrong, I will trust in a divine creator, and a 12 gauge to guard my animals and my family. At times there may be no one else to call. This should not be an issue with you, since you tell me we are nothing more than a mass of cells evolved from a ____? Well whatever it was. Be sure to let me know when you come up with the answer to that question please, maybe I’m wrong on this one.
What question did you ask? You seem to be throwing around rhetoric in an effort to bitch but very few question are taking their place.

Meanwhile I will believe in my “fairytale” God.
You say we are unlearned, stupid? But then I see you seem to be a little short on answers yourself! It is said that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.
And what answers are we short of? You worship a god for which there is zero evidence for his/her existence. So worship your god--don't get pissed because we think worshiping something for which there is no evidence is a bit silly. You made the choice what to worship not us.

Was it Goebbles that said if you repeat a lie loud enough and long enough, it becomes the truth?
Yes Goebbels said something along that line. I'm not sure what you are getting at though. Simply because something is an "alternative" fact does not mean it's true. Affirmation can't make something true--you still need confirmation to do that...

Does it ever occur to you there is another life outside of your little world? Not everyone is really interested in all your ideas and theories.
Can you even understand the cycles of tides and moons, how do all the animals live? How do the plants grow? Where does your food come from? If the store and restaurant is closed – what will you eat? Can you fix things and solve problems? Again, I’m looking at your track record here. I see a big no here.
Cause and effect.
Cycles of Tides and Moons can be understood as well as the lives of animals and plants plus I have more than enough food in the house to make it through a day without going to the store. And if you aren't interested in progressive ideas then, once again, you guys have the majority so dazzle us with your efforts! The problem is, there is no razzle behind your dazzle. Don't blame us if the only thing you guys know how to do is stand around with your thumb up your ass.

Oh Yea and instead of trying to control animal our instincts you would tell me anything goes? You tell me things that are un-natural are perfectly normal? The lengths you will go to convince me of these things would be comical – if they weren’t so deadly serious to folks. Instead of setting boundaries you say follow our feelings. After all of that you come up with some really cockamamie excuses as to why these actions have undesirable consequences. Your teaching has destroyed our families and yes, in our ignorance or because maybe we got lazy, we have allowed you to train our children according to your wishes. Nice job!

Homosexuality has been with us since day one. So would you define something that has always been with us as natural or unnatural? As for "my" teachings destroying "our" families--I've been married to my wife going on 40 years and both of my children have grown into fine upstanding respectable adults. If you've failed with your family that's on you. Don't try to push onto us your own failings.

You would have us all live in a plastic world. A plastic ,make believe world that you have created and of course you must rule over. A world where everyone is a winner and no one gets hurt. Well, except for a few undesirables. We can’t make an omelet without cracking a few eggs now can we?
You're the one who worships a god that you have no proof for. Wouldn't that make you the one who live in a plastic world that you created yourself?

Your entertainment and pharmaceutical industries will keep us numb so we don’t ask too many questions. No need for us to think for ourselves, no need to take responsibility for our lives. Your desire is to make us weak servants to you, the rulers.
So don't partake in any form or liberal entertainment nor any pharmaceuticals. Problem solved...

Why have you given away our technology and our industries?
We haven't. You are the ones who pushed for free trade. Don't blame others because you got it...

Why would you expect me to accept another privileged ruling class in this country after my ancestors fought to overthrow a King?
You just elected a billionaire who set up a cabinet made up of more millionaires and billionaires. Wouldn't that make you the one who's accepted a privileged ruling class? You are blaming others for the life that you created.
