Don’t silence conservatives: I just found out DirectTV, which I have, is going to stop broadcasting NewsMax channel. Not too long ago they also cancelled OAN (One American News) channel. Both are important to conservatives as they give opposing conservative views instead of just liberal ones. If anyone reading this is opposed, please contact Direct TV, AT&T or NewsMax to sign a petition to keep the channel. Our country is changing and it is scary as our freedoms are being taken away as our conservative voices are silenced!
Look the other way: This is in response to the new gun laws. I say we just make our weapons “undocumented” and we’ll be fine. Once something is no longer labeled illegal, it becomes acceptable and we can look the other way.
More equals more: Many gun owners appear to have the opinion that owning an assault weapon is a right. Do they feel the same way if this same type of gun was in the hands of a dangerous individual. After all, they are the most often weapon used in mass killings. Just like as when the number of automobiles increases, so do accidents. Why would any gun owner actually have a need for such a weapon?
Mass shooting diversity: With the mass shootings in California last week, you can now add the elderly as well as men of Asian ethnicity to the growing list of assault weapon assassins. For those who demand more diversity in the American way of life, are you happy now?
Gore’s a hypocrite: Here’s an inconvenient truth for the climate change hypocrite Al Gore as he flies to Davos, Switzerland, on his carbon-spewing private jet. Your globalist climate fanaticism that you have shown for decades is a bunch of hot air. Maybe you want to check on the wind turbines on the East Coast causing death to a number of humpback whales washed onto the shores. By the way, at the world economic forum, did Gore bother to confront the world’s biggest polluting country, China? Of course not, he’s compromised and gutless.
Meat will kill you: Our food is engineered to kill us before our time. There is a dark side to eating meat. Animals are fed corn when for millenniums before they ate grass. Their stomachs cannot tolerate that. They are ill when they go to slaughter and they kill us in time as well. Not to mention the cruelty they undergo before slaughter.
Beware of DeSantis: Christian conservative Republican Ron DeSantis is campaigning for president on a platform that disdains diversity, eliminates equality and ignores inclusion. He deplores public education, learning and knowledge, unless it fits nicely into his world perspective. Reality and truth are anathema to him. His strategy is to attack, exploit and divide. His goal is to build power and win elections. Let’s not allow this zealot to take us back to the Dark Ages. We’ve got to keep him as far from the Oval Office as possible!
