Don’t take it personal?
A few days ago an old friend responded to my post about unfollowing friends that are far left leaning liberals because I am sick of all the left wing lies and bias. His response was that he would probably continue to follow me and just skip over my political posts and advised me not to take it personally. OK…I had to sit on that for a couple of days and let it sink in. I had to think it through, was he right? Do I take it too personally?
Well after giving it a lot of thought I now have an absolutely clear mind on how I feel about it. Yes, I do take it personal. Should I?
Left wing liberals and most Democrats will vote for Hillary in spite of the ample evidence of corruption, lies, deceit, etc. If I have a friend who is posting all those lies on their Facebook page and elsewhere then he or she is doing all they can to help get her elected. What does that mean to me and why should I take it personal?
You may be voting for her because of a single issue but what you are supporting is everything that the liberals believe in. I know a lot of Democrats who love to hunt but also just love guns in general. Whether it be for home defense, target shooting, hunting, whatever. Yet many of them are also union members so they will vote for Hillary because they think that the Democrats are the champions of the working class. Many of these people may also disagree on many other of the Democrat platform issues but will still vote for her just for their one single issue. Taking away the rights of responsible gun owners is a personal issue for me. If you are doing all you can to get her elected then yes, I take that personal.
Left wing liberals want to make all public restrooms gender neutral. All you have to do is say that you identify as the opposite gender and enter the restroom of your choice. Obama has already tried to force that mandate onto all public schools through his directive. If we let the liberals force this upon us then my grandkids will be forced to share what should be there privacy with any pervert that chooses to exploit this “right”. Liberals are not interested in compromise in any way. There is a school being sued now for refusing to allow this even though they sat aside ANOTHER restroom for this student. No, that is not good enough. They demand that the student be allowed to use any restroom he or she wants to. This is a personal issue to me. If you are doing all you can to get her elected then yes, I take that personal.
The left wing liberals have attacked Christians for years now. There have been multiple lawsuits brought against schools for allowing school prayer, prayers before athletic events, etc. There have young people expelled and put on academic probation for reading their bible during special reading times, recesses, etc. Yet we have public schools making special accommodations for Muslims sitting aside private areas for the prayer times throughout the day. If you are a Christian and feel that baking a cake for a gay or lesbian wedding goes against your beliefs and refuse, you will be sued and financially ruined for standing by your beliefs. If you are a restaurant in Maine that refuses to serve somebody who believes in gun ownership, EVEN if you aren’t actually carrying in their establishment, the left will support your right to refuse service. This is personal issue to me. If you are doing all you can to get her elected then yes, I take that personal.
If you are supporting Hillary and trying to help get her elected, you have to realize that you are getting everything that she stands for, not just a single issue that you may be in favor of. All the things that I have listed above and much more will be decided over the next couple of years by the Supreme Court. There does not have to be a change to the Constitution. Politicians are too spineless and corrupt to vote for something like that. It will be legislated from the bench. The Supreme Court will NOT change the law, they don’t have that power. They will simply “interpret” it in a way that guts the Second Amendment and anything else that the left wing liberals are in favor of. Hillary will change the balance of the court so that all of these things will come to be.
This is personal to me. If you are doing all you can to get her elected then yes, I take that personal.

Just a little note about my political posts. If you are devout Democrat or left wing liberal, my posts are not directed at you. I do not post my opinions for the sake of argument. One thing I have learned about the left is that their minds are entirely different than mine and they are as firm in their liberal opinions as I am in my conservative ones. I realize that I am not going to change how you think and you are certainly not going to change how I think. I think that this is a very important election for the direction that the United States heads over the next 20 – 30 years and maybe forever. Presidents come and go but the next one will likely shape the Supreme Court for at least the next two or three decades. Yes, the very future of our country lies in the balance of this election. I will continue to share my opinions and do all that I can to try and make people realize what is at stake here. The USA could very easily end up looking like Europe, much of which is falling apart, over the next few years. If you are a left leaning Democrat or liberal, that seems to be exactly what you want or at the very least your single issue such as your union, pro-choice/pro-life stance, etc. are more important to you than the big picture. So if that is where you are then it doesn’t matter what I post or say, I’m not going to change your mind. My hope is that there are still some undecideds that can perhaps be educated and understand what lies ahead of us if the liberals win this election. Those are the people that my posts are directed at. If you are on the other side of the political spectrum and want to use your blog to try and win them over to your side, you have every right to do that. Keep it off my page though.  I’ll do the same for you and ignore whatever you post on your own page. I probably won’t see it anyway because I don’t typically torture myself by reading the liberal talking points.  The point is, I won’t argue with you here.  I’ll probably delete your posts and ignore you. I’m tired of arguing and what it does to friendships. Use your blog how you wish and let me use mine how I wish.
