2 years later

     Ok so it has been more than a few months since I took a break from this blog, but I am back!  I took the time off to pay attention to the world we are living in and watch the shift in the political spectrum.  Hopefully this is the first of my blogs I post this year.  

Now lets get into my thoughts and feelings about the past two years.  From 2019-2020 I posted a lot on Facebook and other social media about my view on many topics.  I also started this blog and shared similar positions and thoughts.  Back then the "left leaning" advocates were operating somewhat in the shadows, denying the agenda they were pushing for and working hard behind the scenes to change generations of children against the country and traditional values.  How did they do this?  It started in public schooling and the curriculum.  Until the lockdowns during Covid many parents were unaware of exactly what their children were being taught in school.  Often a kid's rebelliousness would be blamed on growing up, truth was they were being indoctrinated to a belief that forced that rebellion.  Parents began to see kids as young as kindergartners being exposed to sexual relationships, race relations, and general anti-family beliefs.  While children eventually need to have that exposure, it needs to be done at home, not the classroom.  A lot of the beliefs being taught run counter to families with strong religious or traditional values.  After the lockdowns ended, we saw a large number of children being taken out of public school and either homeschooled or placed in private schools which give parents more control over the curriculum.  At this point logic would state the public schools would move further from the fringe topics and get back to the basics.  Fact is they did the exact opposite.  We now see drag shows in school assemblies, activist flags and slogans posted in classrooms, and teachers fighting to keep control over "their kids."  The left chose to double down, strip off the masks and very publicly advocate for the ability to indoctrinate our kids.

And the schools are just the beginning.  We saw Row V Wade overturned and the abortion regulation turned back over to the state.  So what was the reaction from the left to this?  Mass protests, violence, and an immediate movement to tell women they now were being oppressed and prevented from having bodily autonomy and reproductive rights.  The idea that reproductive rights start after pregnancy is simply wrong.  Womens reproductive autonomy and freedom starts before the sexual act even occurs!  We tell women it is empowering to sleep around, get pregnant and dispose of their kids.  Women are truly empowered by being able to be selective in partners, prevent pregnancy, and most of all respect themselves enough to know they have more value than what is between their legs.  Men also have the same value and empowerment.  Being a player and having multiple children with multiple women isn't empowering, it is low down and shady.  Men have more value than what is between their legs too.  Yes sex is fun, pleasurable and something most adults enjoy, pregnancy is the direct risk of this action, protected or not.  We should be teaching our children self-respect, respect for human life and also their value in life not just the bedroom.

We have seen a rise in the LGBTQIA+ movement and the desire to sexualize and allow children to go through gender affirming care aka mutilating themselves for life for temporary feelings.  We need to let kids be kids.  Adults can choose that life or not but most humans brains are not fully developed until their mid 20's.  Why would anyone allow kids as young as 5 to dress in drag, take hormone replacement medication and even go through surgery to remove healthy body parts all in the name of "understanding." The studies show that a large percentage of young children that are not given those options choose to not do them later in life.  And those given those options have a high percentage who detransition later in life and regret those choices.  As parents it is our job to help out kids navigate the world and discover who they truly are.  Help them understand everyone at one point or another feels like they are in the wrong body and have no idea why they feel that way.  The wrong way to help is to agree with the confusion and push them to make life altering choices that may or may not be reversible.  The left is normalizing "family-friendly" all ages drag shows.  They are making tv shows highlighting young kids in drag or sexualized situations and telling the world the kids are "Brave" "Bold" and "revolutionary".  The reality is that it is grooming our kids to not understand "stranger danger" and make them feel like some of these people are threats.  I know not all of them are that way but any group of people who engage with young children there is a greater possibility of pedophiles wanting to be involved.

The left is manipulating language to make terms less "offensive."  Here is a not so finite list of the most obvious:

1. Pedophile.  Has been rebranded as a "minor attracted person".  We are told this is a sexuality similar to being attracted to the same sex.  Normalizing this behavior was the "slippery slope" argument right leaning people were accused of pushing and then actively told "that would never happen." But here we are.

2. Illegal Immigrant- The left now wants us to use the term non-documented migrant or asylum seekers.  So why does this matter?  Simple the act of illegally crossing the border is a crime.  These people are allowed to seek asylum from tyrannical governments, that is true.  But the rule is you can seek it from the closest country to your own.  Many of these people come from South America and travel through multiple countries to America when they should stop in one of the many countries they travel through.

3. Patriot- These people are now being called "white supremacists" and we are being told it is due to white people being racist and all patriots are white people.  Very flawed argument.  Reality is all Americans should be patriotic!  It is our country and laws that give us the freedoms these very same leftists are using to change things.

4. Racism- Is now being positioned and pushed as anything done by white people which negatively impacts minorities. Truth is racism is any race which does negative things to any other race simply because of the race.   Every single skin color can be racist.  We will never solve racism by enacting laws which are racist.  

Like I said just a starting list for my fight against the injustice I am seeing this year.  Next blog I will be tackling our election system and why I feel a change should be made!

Intellectual debate requires 2 intellectuals!

 

Throughout American history the intellectual minded people have gotten together, discussed the topics of the day and come up with solutions that both sides agreed were the best solution for the problems.  As Liberalism slowly took over the education system and colleges the idea of an intellectual debate became a thing of the past.  No longer could men and women, Democrats and Republicans, or Liberals and Conservatives sit down and discuss these things to help solve our problems.  The left raised multiple generations of students to debate with name calling and safe zones.  They are being taught if you disagree with someone that the best way to combat the other persons obvious lower IQ, since they most likely don't have a degree or any form of higher education, is to call them a racist, sexist, boomer, homophobe, transphobe, Nazi, or any other name they can think of.  Only then can you show how much more intellectual you are.  Only then can you show them how dumb they really are.  On the other side of the debate there are very intelligent people who may or may not have a degree from college.  The difference is those people want to learn, educate themselves, and discuss our times and problems to solve them, not just get handouts for being offended.  

I started my life in a fairly Conservative home.  I didn't care much for politics because I did not understand why I should.  I was never taught why the decisions politicians made really mattered.  It wasn't for lack of trying on my parents part, it was school scrubbing history and starting to make the common man feel as though Conservative values, faith and other things were not important and only a tool for the evil capitalists to control us.  That is where it ended while I was in school.  Now kids are being taught our founding fathers were all racists who infused our systems with racism and no matter what POC have no chance to overcome it without violence or rebellion.  They are being told all cops are out hunting black people daily.  That rich white politicians have gamed the system to hold them back.  They are being infused with an attitude of hate and non-patriotism.  They are being divided by everything and everything is being dubbed racist.  The only thing not being dubbed racist is actual racism!  

I see more and more white kids being told they are oppressors and need to beg forgiveness from their peers who are minorities.  The kids who are minorities are being told their white peers are the cause of all their problems.  White kids are being told if they do not accept and fight for the BLM movement, trans movement, or LGBTQIA+ movement then they are oppressing people and they should be met with violence.  To teachers, professors, and parents pushing these ideas I say YOU ARE THE PROBLEM!  5 year old kids don't need to know about trans genderism, sexuality, or any other adult topics.  They should be free to be kids and worry about playing and having fun.  I have found myself asking "what is the end game?"  The only way I can see it is history repeating itself.  

In all of history the rich and powerful push division as a form of subservience. A way to keep the Pleebs in order and not take the power back.  America was the one country in the world who has constantly pushed to evolve and create an equal playing field.  As slavery swept the globe we went to war with one another to end it.  As women around the globe have been made to feel inferior, we as a nation pushed for women's equality.  In no way have we been perfect but we have done more to create an equal playing field than any other nation worldwide.  We have the richest poor people anywhere in the world.  We have laws in place to protect against discrimination, sexism, and all forms of crime.  So why would the powerful in our country want to end that?  It is simple, to keep their power.  The modern push for socialism because "Other times it has been tried they didn't do it right" is leading us down a path that will lead to the destruction of life as we know it.  Unless we stand and fight now we will lose all we have created.  

Like I said we are far from perfect, racist people still exist although the entire country is not racist, the poor are made to feel as though they cannot or will not climb out without big daddy government handing them everything, the rich feel untouchable, and the left wants open borders and no police.  What point will it be too far gone?  At what point will fighting make no difference at all?  A quote often attributed to Thomas Jefferson but more commonly attributed to Gerald Ford states "A government big enough to give you everything you want is strong enough to take everything you have." Greater words could not be spoken.  As big daddy government takes the reigns, divides us as a people and uses our youth for their own means we must realize once they get total control the people who blindly followed will be discarded and left for dead.  Conservative values are not sexist, racist or any other -ist you can find.  They are patriotic, seek equality, and express love and support for our fellow Americans.  If you are more liberal please find sources which back your positions and stop calling people you disagree with names.  Let us unite as We the People before it is too late!

Unity and equality for all......No not you

 

In 8 days we will see a new President take the seat in the White House.  I didn't vote for him but I am willing to give him a chance to prove my concerns and fears wrong.  I have stated many times before I think he is simply a place holder for 5-6 months and then he will step down making Kamala Harris our first Black female President.  Why is that important?  Well the Democratic party has for years made their platform "The first..." They have pandered to minority groups for votes and then gotten into power and done nothing for those groups.

President elect Biden gave a speech the other day expressing how he is going to help small businesses recover from the Covid lockdowns.  The thing he did not address was that his party controls the cities and states which have had the worst response to Covid, imposed the most restrictions and cause the most deaths based on policies they have put in place.  The one thing he said that struck me the most was this "Our priority will be Black, Latino, Asian, and Native American owned small businesses, women-owned businesses, and finally having equal access to resources needed to reopen and rebuild."  I have no problem supporting those businesses, my problem is excluding other racial groups from the same aid opportunities.  The Democrats scream about racial injustice and equality but at every single turn exclude and put policy in place which places other racial groups at a disadvantage in order to benefit others.  This is systemic racism.  Putting systems in place for the benefit of one racial group over another is the definition of systemic racism.  So why are the same people who have screamed for equal justice now silent?  The answer is simple, it does not fit their idea of equality.

We have seen with the lockdowns the hypocrisy of these people.  The do as I say not as I do mentality.  The justice for me but not for you ideas have set us back to a time where nobody is equal.  Some of these equality advocates have petitioned for segregated dorms on college campuses, black only rec centers, and even supporting financial help through the crisis for minorities only.  Biden's campaign rhetoric was all about unity and healing the country but his actions are about dividing us further.  He and the far left are doing this to restrict our rights and squash the conservative viewpoint.  Just this week every social media platform banned the sitting President of the United States from their platforms, this is not right.  This is censorship.  Never in our history has one viewpoint been censored while others are allowed to continue.  Why is it people are not standing up and stopping this?

We saw people storm our capitol building in DC, which I covered in my last blog, and we saw lawless riots in the streets all summer.  These were cause by the division being sewed in the media and through our politics.  Only when we realize the government works for the people, the people don't subject to the government will we begin to stop this shift in our political system.  If we don't stand up soon I am truly afraid we will lose everything we know and all the freedoms we enjoy.  For now I will pray for the best and hope we eventually get to unity and equality for all not just some.

Nobody is born racist

 

    My entire life has been a lie.  Until recently I had been taught that everyone was striving to fight racism and create equality for all.  I did not realize that the entire time I myself had been racist.  Sure in my past a majority of my friends and all of my love interests have been white.  But more recently I married a black female and now have a bi-racial stepson.  It wasn't until I dove into their culture did I discover a system of oppression and racism that I had been blind to.  In the past two years I have learned that because I am a white male I am racist, sexist, and all the phobics you can list.  I was shocked to learn that although I have never looked down on a person of a different skin color than myself or tried to prevent them from success I had been secretly racist the whole time!  It wasn't until I started paying attention to the protests and riot that I found out racism was only a "white issue" and my silence had been violence toward people of color.  I was raised to not see a person for the color of their skin but see them for the content of their character, I guess the person that I learned that from forgot to tell me if I was white I would never be able to look past the color of someone's skin.  I never realized that by being white and working my ass off for the success I have I was holding someone else back.  So I guess it is time to just say Hello my name is Racist.

    As ludicrous as that paragraph sounds that is exactly what the educational system is teaching young people.  From K-12 kids are being told that white people are racist because the system they were born into makes them that way.  White kids are being taught to hate their own skin color and feel guilty for things they may or may not feel inside themselves.  They are being told if they don't think they are racist it is because they are lying to themselves and refuse to admit it.  If they admit it then well they are racist.  White kids are being told they need to ask for forgiveness from their classmates of color for acts their ancestors may or may not have committed.  When I was a kid I only asked my classmates to trade my Oreos for some fruit snacks, which I guess was racist because I was trying to ensure the black kid had Oreos so they would know on the inside they were white just like me!  I find it personally appalling that we are raising generations of people to feel less than so another race can be raised out of a false sense of inferiority.  

    So what can we do to avoid being racist?  If you are white, nothing.  You were born into it.  You were born with racist genes and nothing you can do will overcome that.  If you are a minority you can do nothing to overcome racism either because the system is rigged against you from the start because it was created by old racist white men who created this country on the backs of your people.  You are starting from a position of inferiority and for every step a white person takes you will need to take 10 just to make up ground, but don't think there is a chance you will ever get to the same level because all of the companies are racist too.  I guess when I look at it there is nothing anyone can do to avoid being or being held back by racism.  The only solution is to burn down the very foundation of our country and start over.  Racism can only be defeated by allowing the under represented to tear it all down and rebuild it so they can avoid the pitfalls of our past.  Only by building it their way can we avoid any sense of inequality.  Or maybe that would just create a system of inequality towards the very people they claim have oppressed them for so long.

    Until we fully embrace the ideal that all men and women are created equal and stop blaming another race for problems within our own cultures can we begin to overcome racism and all the baggage that comes with it.  MLK did not say judge a person by their skin color, he said judge them by the content of their character.  Yes there are racists in the word and America.  Yes Racist come in all shapes, sizes, and colors.  Yes a majority of us are not racist in any way shape or form.  In the end until we realize that last fact nothing is going to change.  For POC they need to stop being taught that white people are out to get them or hold them back.  White people need to stop being taught they are inherently racist.  And all of us need to remember we live in the most free country in the world.  There is nothing a person cannot do if they want to in America, that is why so many people immigrate here every year!  The American dream is there for anyone to reach out and grab if they want to.  Some people will have an easier road and some will struggle but every single person that wishes to succeed will.  Stop placing barriers on yourself and blaming everyone else for your problems.  

That's a bit racist

    The year 2020 has brought the terms racist and racism to the forefront of our minds.  Due to the exploitation of our police officers by the media we have seen violent riots all in the name of equal justice.  What exactly is equal justice?  Equal justice is defined as "The fair, equal and impartial treatment of all people."  What did the police officers do in the videos that sparked these riots that could be seen as unfair or unequal treatment?  From a vast majority of the videos they were called due to a situation that was violent and while trying to get the suspects in custody or disarm them they were attacked and responded with deadly force.  The problem with all of the videos which incited the violence is the suspect was African American.  We never saw video released of suspects of any other ethnic group, why is that?  My answer is simple, the people releasing these videos has an agenda that involves dividing us by race to further some sort of political agenda.  We regularly see the media and other "advocates" call the President racist and demand he condemn white supremacists, the KKK, and other racists groups.  On multiple occasions he has done just that and also passed an executive order calling the domestic terrorists, yet the very next day they are saying he never has done such things and are demanding he do it again.  I think he could get up every morning and hold a press conference denouncing these groups and these people would still not be content.  

    There have been actual instances of racism in our country this year but many do not even acknowledge these quotes and actions as racist.  Joe Biden has on more than one occasion said things that are downright racist.  Take for instance his appearance on  The Breakfast Club with Charlamagne Tha God.  In this interview he stated "If you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump, then you ain't black."  In other words if you are Black and do not vote for Biden then you are not the actual race you are.  Why is this racist?  Well it is simple, he thinks all black people should think alike and vote for Democrats.  He has also called them a monolith with little or no diversity.  Earlier this year he spoke at the funeral for one of the KKK's founding members.  In the Democratic primary Kamala Harris called him a racist and accused him of using black people to get votes.  She pointed out how his crime bill was slanted very unfairly to lock up more young black men than anyone else.  In 1977 he said integrating schools with bussing would have his children "growing up in a jungle, the jungle being a racial jungle with tensions having built so high that it is going to explode at some point." So why can he get away with statements that are obviously racist?  We have been told all along that President Trump is racist, xenophobic, and sexist but the facts don't back such allegations.  He did have some "locker room" talk that was brought out during the 2016 election and he was immediately labeled a sexist.  He never admitted to sexual assault but that is what he was labeled.  There were women that came out with accusations and ultimately when he won the election they just went away.  The double standard on sexism and racism is amazing.

    The last thing I wanted to touch on was this idea that racism is always directed at ethnic minorities from white people.  The truth is racism comes from all ethnicities and is toward all ethnicities.  Racism being a "white" problem places blame unfairly onto one group of people.  This is pushed along by schools and universities teaching "white privilege" and racial inequality.  Black people are being told the system is racist and they are starting from a position where they will have to work harder to get ahead than their white counterparts.  Imagine being told from the time you were young that no matter how hard you work you can never achieve success.  Imagine criminals gunned down by cops are heralded as heroes in their community and the cops are the villains.  Imagine seeing the only successful people that look like you gained success from illegal activities like drug dealing.  Imagine the "leaders" of your race that call themselves Reverend or pastors are some of the people who use your race to gain wealth and could care less if the less privileged in your community gain prosperity or not.  There is racism within the black community and it comes from other black people.  black citizens are made to feel like a constant victim of the system, cops, education, white people, or anything else that lines the pockets of those "leaders."  

    The solution to this problem will not come from white people, it will come from within every races own community.  Pulling another race back to advance your race is racism.  Putting laws and policies in place which place any race at a disadvantage to elevate another is racist.  Truth be told every single American can succeed based on their own desire to succeed.  Yes some people will encounter more challenges than others but only by overcoming those challenges can they succeed.  Don't wait for anyone else to elevate you as the people with the means to help you are the very same ones who are using their influence to gain more for themselves.  If you are making minimum wage and want to make more money figure out the path to get what you want and make it happen!  Don't demand the employers be forced to raise wages which will ultimately cause loss of hours or jobs, get better skills or education and get a better job!  In the end I am trying to say racism is not a white disease and that's a bit racist I guess.
