Takes one to know one?

We’re an irredeemable country of racists and bigots. Or so we’re told by white liberals who have decided they’re racist. As we discover our supposed white privilege in this new era of found racism, those who’ve decided all whites are racist are really getting angry at those of us whites who are pushing back on the narrative. Those of us who’ve viewed, seen, considered, and treated everyone equally are simply confused and irritated by those whites who are now enlightened enough to see their own racism and privilege. And apparently, it’s lonely at the top. So they’re coming down…

Early voting for civics lessons

For all those who want to make voting easier: Early voting Mail-in ballots Registration kiosks everywhere Ballot harvesting Felons vote Voting age reduced to 16 I’ll trade you. You can have that if we can insert America-loving conservatives in every classroom in the country for kids 10-16 years of age to teach them about America, it’s founders, and the liberty and freedom it promises for all who want to pursue it. Deal?

Did the strategy work?

For the past four years, leftists in the media and in the Democrat Party have worked tirelessly and constantly to make sure every day of those four years has been a living hell for the entire country. Every day, they threw all of the venom, hatred, accusations, made-up charges, allegations, and vitriol they could dream up at President Trump, his supporters, and the entire country. Their goal was to make every pay for electing Trump and make everyone regret putting the country through this with a steady barrage of bitterness and by inserting politics into absolutely everything they could….

Fired for Trump support

It’s not too difficult to find examples of people who say they were fired for their support of President Trump. Whether they had a yard sign, were seen at a rally, posted something on their social media, or showed their support in other ways, many people claim this happened to them. Yet, you don’t ever hear of anyone being fired for supporting Democrat causes. But this makes perfect sense. It’s yet another illustration of one of the fundamental differences between conservatives and liberals. Conservatives value freedom of expression, freedom of thought, and varying opinions. You can see this within…

Arrogance of liberalism

I’ve lived in five different cities in the United States, and another in Europe. No matter where I’ve lived, I’ve noticed one thing about liberals: when they speak, they assume everyone agrees with them. A week before the election, the head of my company addressed the company, and everything he said was spoken from the point of view that obviously, everyone in the company can’t wait to vote against President Trump. In conversation, liberals are not only fearless about stating their positions and putting down people with opposing views. (And when they do put down others, they usually do…

Solving our media crisis

Make no mistake, no matter where your political loyalties lie, our media has become a Soviet-style, propaganda organization that no longer serves the public by sharing information so the people can decide. People who are looking at President Trump, Joe Biden, the two-party system, or political disagreement, in general, as the main problems causing our divided nation are wrong. We are a divided nation because we’re not all getting complete information, and we’re not all getting the same information. Our media has one purpose, to seek and provide the important information necessary to maintain an informed public, and they’re…

Overplaying their hand

Did the Democrats learn anything? For eight years, during George W. Bush’s presidency, they spent every waking moment, every possible news story, every media appearance, and every speech convincing us that President Bush was the most horrific, evil, stupid, ill-intentioned, meanest, lost, inarticulate, careless, and dangerous person on the earth. For the past four years, they’ve expended many times that energy on President Trump. They think their message is a warning. But in fact, the real message is that somehow, the majority of voting Americans are so stupid that they actually voted for the most evil human being on…

“Uncertain times”

I think people have this view of 2020 entirely backward. If we learned anything this year, it should be that times were always uncertain. There is never certainty. Nothing is ever predictable. No one ever knows exactly what’s going to happen next. Who new there would be coronavirus? Who knew England would vote to leave the European Union? Who knew Hillary was going to lose? Who knew Hillary was going to lose to Obama? Who knew the World Trade Center was going to fall? Who foresaw the fall of the Berlin Wall? Who could predict that every environmental prediction…

Context: the enemy of the sheep

When people want to believe something badly enough, they’ll be quick to believe something that is edited or presented to look the way they want it to look. Today’s example comes from President Trump’s rally in Prescott, AZ. During the rally, he talked about how he would go about fundraising if he had no dignity and wanted to raise money in big $25 million chunks instead of the grassroots support he’s currently getting. A short clip was taken from that 1.5 hour speech which shows Trump talking about a call to Exxon to raise money. Of course, as is…

Another emotion on the way

You never know when someone will say something seemingly simple that will change your whole outlook. I woke up in a really bad mood today. Mad at the world. Sick of all the discord and stress. Done with the politicization of everything. I was just angry. So, I called a member of my in-house staff, and we talked it through. But in the midst of our conversation, she happened to say, “emotions are like weather fronts, they’re always changing and there’s always another one coming to replace the current one.” It struck me because it’s absolutely true. If you’re…
