.........I hate to admit the fact that this country is quickly becoming polarized, with not much tolerance for the others opinion. I guess we just need to choose which side we are on?
It's not "becoming polarized".... it's being FORCED to be more honest.
Read history, we've always been polarized. Absolutely nothing has ever changed between the conservatives and the liberals here nor in England nor anywhere since the inception of our free society.
THIS is exactly why my tag line is "oft dis'd member"
This is why I warn folks up front, "I WILL soon make you mad"...... "I WILL "p!$$ you off soon, just warning you!"..... because life has taught me that most people absolutely REFUSE to take a stand, REFUSE to actually figure out who they are and what they want, instead waffling through life like a chameleon constantly changing colors to suit each situation..... constantly trying to "just get along with everybody" and lying to themselves and everyone around them......and I won't countenance it.
For the first time in my life I actually have a real hope that people are being forced to take sides.
Thanks to one thing.
Donald Trump.
Donald Trump is the single best thing this stupid populace has been exposed to in many, many years. He comes from a world where decisions must be and will be made.
I just pray that the stupid "conservatives" that work to advise him are actual conservatives not just typical selfish political animals. People laugh at The Donald for listening to Rush Limbaugh and Lars Larson but this is his way of staying in touch with the people, with what real people want and need.
I've said for 40yrs and I'll say it again more than ever..... I think we're too STUPID to keep our gun rights intact. We're too bloody STUPID as a people to take the time to actually understand why and for what and how carefully our Constitution was crafted. The Second Amendment is very simple, very solid and very clear for a reason. Because our founders were perfectly aware that "if this thing works, if America actually WORKS AS PLANNED..... life will become so good the STUPID PEOPLE, the losers, the "have nots" will wreck it."
And THIS is why we can't have good things
