i did not pen this.....just sent it for discussion


It is a fact of life in our country today that there are people who
live to be offended. They're called Progressives. They are offended
by Confederate statues and the Confederate F**g, by monuments they say
celebrate w***e s*******y and colonialism, by Trump supporters, by
Trump himself, and by those who refuse to get on their knees and
grovel before Black L***s M****r.



Well, I am not one of them. Here are ten things for which I will
never apologize, and I don't give a sour owl’s waste if anyone's
offended by any of them.



1. I'm white - I was born white and I don't feel guilty about
s***ery, segregation, the Trail of Tears or the treatment of Chinese
railroad workers - because (now get this) I didn't have anything to
do with any of these. It is history and you can’t change it. I'm no
more responsible for these things than the Indian of today is
responsible for the Black Hole of Calcutta. The idea of racial guilt
is absurd. White privilege and w***e s*******y is a myth. Where is
the White Miss America Contest, White History Month and White
Entertainment Television? Where are the white-only colleges and
universities, white-only dating sites or white-only bars and
restaurants? Where are the quotas and set-asides for Caucasians? Do
we need to address these things? To some degree, yes, but not by
r**ting, tearing down statues, l**ting and destroying businesses,
changing names of sports teams and products. We can and should
address these things with civility and dialogue by all concerned.



2. I love America - I believe in American exceptionalism. America
pioneered representative government guided by a written constitution.
We fought a war with 620,000 dead to end s***ery. We defeated N**i
Germany and Imperial Japan and liberated the death camps. We saved
Europe from tyranny and then, with American investment, innovation,
resourcefulness and generosity, rebuilt the economies of 17 nations of
Europe and the nation of Japan. Our arms kept c*******m from
conquering the world. Our factories and workshops produced a flood of
inventions and products that benefitted humanity. We built the
greatest most respected medical system in the world and earned more
Nobel Prizes in Medicine than any other nation on earth by a factor of
ten! What country has done as much - especially in 244 years, a
relative hiccup in time?



3. I'm a Christian - I am proud of my faith, but I do not wear it on
my sleeve. I respect all religions. I also believe in the State of
Israel. Israel is a beleaguered outpost of civilization in a savage
region and a bulwark against the forces of darkness.



4. My heroes include George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Andrew
Jackson, Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt - Washington and Lincoln
were indispensable men. Washington defeated the greatest army on earth
and led our country for the first quarter-century of its existence.
Lincoln abolished s***ery and inspired generations with his rhetoric.
The Declaration of Independence flames with the eloquence of Thomas
Jefferson, arguably the most intelligent man to ever serve as
President of the United States. Andrew Jackson, the hero of the
Battle of New Orleans, represented the pioneer spirit. Teddy
Roosevelt led the charge into the 20th century, the American Century.
Together, they gave us a country so free that malcontents like Bernie
Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Talib and
Ayanna Pressley can criticize it without fear of reprisal. As
representatives of the American people they are a disgrace to our
nation. They instigate turmoil and division in our country. They are
most certainly Anti-American. Indeed, if you listen to all the
complaints voiced from liberal/progressive democrats and c*******ts
like NYC Mayor Bill De Blasio, you are hard pressed to understand why
there are so few people leaving our country! It is harder still to
understand why, with all of our so called "problems", millions of
people from around the world want to come here!



5. I support our Police, and I believe police officers are generally
decent/honorable men and women doing a difficult, dangerous, often
thankless job - You couldn't pay me enough today to do it. Besides
risking their lives every time they go to work, they bear the added
burden of listening to insults shouted at them by spoiled, ungrateful
people, many of whom are wet behind their ears and probably still
wearing diapers. Police today have become the punching bag for the
nation and, sadly, they receive little or no respect or support from
their superiors and the gaggle of incompetent democratic mayors around
the country. And, like our military, they are all that stands between
us and the abyss. When the Twin Towers were attacked in New York
City on 9/11, we were reminded by liberals to not judge all Muslims by
the actions of a few. Yet today, mobs are willing to judge all police
by the actions of a few police. Explain that one to me. Defunding
the police because of a few "bad apples" is just plain STUPID because
the end result will be more crime. If you find that difficult to
comprehend, just check the crime statistics for these liberal
democratic controlled cities: New York, Chicago, Philadelphia,
Minneapolis, Los Angeles, San Francisco, St. Louis, Newark, Trenton
and check out the number of shootings and stabbings on any given
weekend! You would think these are cities in a war zone.



6. I support the Second Amendment. It's one of the reasons Japan
thought long and hard about attacking us It's a major reason why we'll
never have a Holocaust here. Europe has had the divine right of kings,
religious persecution, C*******m and N**ism. We have the Second
Amendment. The anarchy in our streets, coupled with calls to defund
the police, only serve to underscore the right of citizen gun
ownership.



7. R********ns are racial plunder. The idea of racial guilt is an
obscenity from the dark recesses of 19th century European history -
There's no group in the world that hasn't been oppressed at some point
in time. Will Denmark pay r********ns to the English for the Danelaw?
Will Mongols and Manchus compensate the Chinese? Will Japan
compensate the Chinese for the Rape of Nanjing? How about the English
and the Irish, the Mongols and the Russians, the Cossacks and Jews?
Will bi-racial Barack Obama take money out of one pocket and put it in
another?



8. There are only two g****rs. Deal with it - G****r is determined at
birth by your DNA. Just as you can't change your DNA, you can't change
your sex. You can’t expect others to participate in your fantasy.
Reality isn't h**eful.



9. I support what President Trump advocated and accomplished during
his four years in office. The 45th president loves this country. He
had Israel's back. Who else was strong enough to stand up to China and
Iran? Unlike almost everyone else in Washington, as a businessman, he
understood finance and the market economy. He's gave us judges who
deliberate instead of legislate. And he had the guts not to be liked.
President Trump built the greatest most prosperous economy in the
world and he gave power back to the people. He understood we are a
people who happen to have a government, not the other way around, and
this fragile American experiment in which government derives its just
power from the consent of the governed is still the most unique,
treasured and progressive form of government in the history of
mankind. Trump may or may not be the best candidate in 2024, but his
policies should be followed by the Republican nominee, whoever that
might be.



10. You have a right to disagree with me, but you do not have a right
to try to silence me. Being offended doesn't cancel the First
Amendment. Attacking statues and assaulting those with different
values is the kind of thing we saw in N**i Germany and Stalin's
Russia. Generations of Americans died for freedom of speech, not
freedom to suppress speech. To say you're offended is merely an
attempt to prioritize your feelings above everyone and everything
else. It's not an argument, but a call to end discussion - an
admission of your intellectual impotence.



Being offended isn't a mark of virtue; it's a sign that you're a big,
blubbering baby who will throw a tantrum if you can't get your way.
Wagging fingers and shouting obscenities at me is disrespectful and
might get you a punch in the nose. Sadly, that is what we see today
with liberals and progressives. They do not maintain a dialogue,
they respond with insults and attacks, and that is fundamentally
because they have not done their homework, are superficially educated,
lack historical perspective, and context and have no inclination or
desire to reason. We have the right to disagree... but what I see
taking place in our country today is simply not right from any
reasonable perspective.

i did not pen this...just sent it it for the group discussion........

Many in politics have lost their sanity for political reasons. I have
heard AOC state that the R**ts and l**ting are taking place because of
the p******c. People don't have food, so they must r**t. Does anyone
believe this dribble? For what food were they looking at Macy’s,
Gucci, Louis Vuitton, etc.? I would bet the Reverend Martin Luther
King is looking down from Heaven at all the r**ting, l**ting and black
on black k*****g and saying to himself, "I can't believe I died for
this.”

I’m a Bible Believing follower of Christ believer.
I’m conservative not progressive.

I’m not easily offended if I am so be it.
As far as the Confederate f**g goes when the Jew get over the N**i F**g and the Holocaust
come see me.
R********ns well since Biden offered considered r********ns for i*****l i*******ts at a half mil per
a mil per house hold I darn sure want mine.
My ancestors labored 400 years for free, and they get rewarded for breaking the law.
Most everyone holds Dr King in the highest regard and most agree that he was a very
learned man here is his take on r********ns.
Refute his argument.

This is bog standard white grievance fodder. We've seen this screed many times before in this place. Indeed, it's the cornerstone of the Lazy Thug's demagogue brand.

Did you forget the 'affirmative action' black woman SCOTUS job?

Back in the day, MLK was constantly vilified as a c****e troublemaker by Mr Fancy Frocks ... J Edger Hoover

This is indeed an inspiring statement to all liberty loving Americans but what would you know about that?

Thanks to the OP for publishing that and I add,

It is embarrassing that these days we Americans have to look to Ukraine for freedom-loving inspiration. Patrick Henry told the First Continental Congress in 1775 “I know not what course others may take, but as for me: Give me liberty or give me death.”

So, also, when a Russian ship offered 13 Ukrainian soldiers defending Snake Island in the Black Sea the choice of surrendering or being k**led the Ukrainians replied: “ Russian ship: Go F_ _ _ yourself.” Seconds later all 13 were dead.

Lincoln once said that if America were to die it would have to be by suicide. And that's now happening as Biden and the Democrats are at the wheel.

Glad you provide the usual chin dribble, deserter. It becomes you.
