I’ve been encouraged to see so many Americans who have spent the better part of their adult lives voting democrat announce that they’ve switched to republican. The #WalkAway movement feels like it is growing; which gives one hope that our country is veering back to the center with the right-hand blinker on.
The hateful Left would like the world to believe that those of us on the right are the hateful ones. They, (the Left) work very hard, day in and day out, to label us as racist, homophobes, polluters, and non-caring capitalists who are set out to destroy the world. We supposedly have no feelings for the poor, the sick, the children or anyone of color. We don’t care about clean water or clean air and if we had our way, states like California would fall off into the Pacific Ocean; never to be seen again. Because we defend law enforcement, we must be for wrongful deaths or imprisonment. Because we want our border to have a wall, to control who comes into our country, we are surely racist toward Hispanics and I guess terrorists. If we believe marriage is between a man and a woman, we then hate all those who live an alternate lifestyle. After all, don’t you forget, we are indeed the party of hate.
If you don’t believe me, I encourage you to pick up a newspaper, go online or turn on the television. Our make-believe hate is on full display to hammer this narrative into the population’s brains and it works. At least on the feeble minded anyway.
There are bad apples in every segment of society, speaking for myself and I honestly believe many others on the so-called Right, none of this propaganda is true. While we fight to get our word out, we are fighting an up-hill battle. To be perfectly honest, like so many on the Left, I almost fell out of bed when I learned that Trump had won the election. Like so many, I voted for him, but I didn’t think we had a prayer of winning. As far as I was concerned, Obama had moved the country so far to the Left that the thought of being able to win the election was beyond our reach. I can tell you, I was never so happy to be wrong in my life. There really is a silent majority in our country and oh thank God.
The truth is, the typical Trump voter and Trump himself are not any of these hateful labels placed upon us. We don’t care what damn color you are, where you came from or who you hold hands with. I can assure you there are more outdoorsmen on the Right than the Left and so trust me when I tell you we care deeply about clean water and fresh air. Isn’t it interesting that the vast majority of the folks on the Left live in the big cities where the cost of living is beyond the reach of most people? They pollute more than the rest of the country and if you don’t believe me, try driving anywhere during rush hour. Millions of cars sitting idle on the freeways hoping to move forward an inch at a time. The narrative of the Left is all contained on both coasts. Between California and the northern East Coast where taxes are out of control and housing costs are beyond the reach of today’s youth, we find the Left in full control. The very people who would have you believe that the evil hatful Right is going to throw granny off the cliff, spew this narrative 24/7 all while they protest, vandalize, and preach to us how unfair and hateful we are. They scream at the world pretending to care for the poor, while the poor have no opportunity to live down the street from them. They spend all their time on banning plastic straws and the size of soda you can buy instead of having any real concern for the very things they accuse us of. We make fun of these folks and accuse them of only caring about votes but what choice do they give us. If you take an honest look at every democrat stronghold in the country, you see the highest level of pollution, highest crime, the most debt, the largest population of poor, drugs, filth and murder. Turn off the television, keep your computer in sleep mode and just look.
They accuse the rest of the county’s population of hate. In reality; the rest of the country only wants to live their lives, work hard, raise their families, and have a strong America with a government that has as little impact on them as possible.
We believe in “to each his own” and yes, it’s true, we believe in “don’t tread on me.” This is not about who is right and who is wrong, Left or Right. It is about individual freedom. We want to live our lives and be happy. Black, brown, white, and all the colors of the rainbow have these same rights and beliefs. Don’t push yours on us nor should we push ours on you.
While the Left would have you believe that we, on the Right are the evil ones, who are out to destroy all things dear to you, remember and believe that the more productive, successful and happy you are, we all prosper. We don’t focus on who you are, what the color of your skin is nor who you sleep with. We focus on our families, our friends, our safety and our work. I encourage you do the same.
