Food for Thought

[Uncle Nicky]

Not that I expect to change anyone's mind, or sway anyone's opinion ( I won't), but somebody took the time to put into words what I see happening in our country right now. Hope it hits home with you as well.

 

“This morning, I realized that everything is about to change. No matter how I vote, no matter what I say, lives are never going to be the same.

I have been confused by the hostility of family and friends. I look at people I have known all my life so hate-filled that they agree with opinions they would never express as their own. I think that I may well have entered the Twilight Zone.

You can't justify this insanity. We have become a nation that has lost its collective mind.

We see other countries going Socialist and collapsing, but it seems like a great plan to us.

Somehow it’s un-American for the census to count how many Americans are in America.

People who say there is no such thing as gender are demanding a female President.

Universities that advocate equality, discriminate against Asian-Americans in favor of African-Americans.

Some people are held responsible for things that happened before they were born, and other people are not held responsible for what they are doing right now.

Criminals are caught-and-released to hurt more people, but stopping them is bad because it's a violation of THEIR rights.

People who have never owned slaves should pay slavery reparations to people who have never been slaves.

After legislating gender, if a dude pretends to be a woman, you are required to pretend with him.

It was cool for Joe Biden to "blackmail" the President of Ukraine, but it’s an impeachable offense if Donald Trump inquiries about it.

People who have never been to college should pay the debts of college students who took out huge loans for their degrees.

Immigrants with tuberculosis and polio are welcome, but you’d better be able to prove your dog is vaccinated.

Irish doctors and German engineers who want to immigrate to the US must go through a rigorous vetting process, but any illiterate gang-bangers who jump the southern fence are welcomed.

$5 billion for border security is too expensive, but $1.5 trillion for “free” health care is not.

If you cheat to get into college you go to prison, but if you cheat to get into the country you go to college for free.

And, pointing out all this hypocrisy somehow makes us "racists"!

Nothing makes sense anymore, no values, no morals, no civility and people are dying of a Chinese virus, but it is racist to refer to it as Chinese even though it began in China.

We are clearly living in an upside-down world where right is wrong and wrong is right, where moral is immoral and immoral is moral, where good is evil and evil is good, where killing murderers is wrong, but killing innocent babies is right.

Wake up America. The great unsinkable ship Titanic America has hit an iceberg, is taking on water and sinking fast.

Copied and pasted. I suggest you do the same!

Can you point out some of the BS.I came into this new year with an open mind about the new president,but i'm really having a hardtime understanding it,put aside all the Trump and Biden non-sence and tell me what you see that i'm missing.

Just a little about me I'm nether a republican or democrat.I've voted for both in the past.I listen to what they have to offer to this country and vote appropriately.

[Grouse]

I don't expect you will get any sort of intelligent reply rachunter.  Leftists believe everything is what they are told it is by their leftist handlers.  They don't think for themselves or even question what they're told and certainly cannot support their inane beliefs.

Of course a commie would say that. But we are still a free country and you are entitled to your opinion, at least for now.

pointing out hypocrisy doesnt automatically make you racist

when did joe biden blackmail the ukraine and how? He was in no position to hold back aid.

[Grouse]

See rachunter.  Just as I predicted.

thank you.

Great Post! Pretty much the way I feel about those issues. I had it put onto my Facebook page.

A expression that I use is that "I feel like the old Confederate soldier, still loyal to a country that doesn't exist". Using "Confederate" in the sentence tends to "trigger" weak- kneed millenials and other liberals and obscures the underlying meaning to them.

There here and no one is doing anything to deport them,if they do get deported they come back over and over.

"People dont demand a female president,they are saying it shows what a male dominated cukture this is"

I'd vote for a women president if she had something good to offer for the country.I liked Tulsi gabbard she made a lot of good points but her party wouldn't give her a shot.

I'll add this about the gender crap, every time I meet a gender/gay/lesbian they feel the need to tell everyone why? I don't discuss my sexaul preferences with anyone unless the subject comes up.We can be talking hunting and fishing and they'll blurt out "by the way I'm a lesbian trapped in a mans body"??

"When did joe biden blackmail the ukraine and how? He was in no position to hold back aid"

He didn't have the power to hold it back,but by his own words he tried to take credit for it.

"Pointing out hypocrisy doesnt automatically make you racist"

It depends who's pointing 

I'm in no way trying to shit stir here. I honestly think i'm missing something hopfully I am i'd hate to see this great counrty sink any lower then it has already.

You understand that the people who entered the capitol are insane, right? I mean, there’s near consensus in the Republican Party that this election was the safest and best run ever in terms of authenticity and lack of fraud. This right wing anger and indignation is farcical, at best.

Apparently it helps to clear away the mace in the eyes. More tears I guess. 

That is a fascinating bit of video. She showed up to "storm the capitol" and start/participate in a "revolution" yet seems a little put off that she was maced. She's lucky she walked away.

Near consensus in the Republican Party that this past election was the best run ever ( I’m not sure what you mean by safest so I’ll leave that alone )?? Really ?? According to who?? Where did you read or hear that, MSDNC or Communist News ?? Come on , that’s not true , not even close !! Look , maybe they can’t prove there was enough fraud that went on in a court of law , idk, but I don’t think ANYONE would go so far to say this past election was the paragon of all elections in terms of integrity , no frickin way!! There was a lot of fraud that no one seemed to want to address IMHO. Was it enough to affect the outcome ? I don’t know ; maybe, maybe not but they’re Was DEFINITELY fraud . Gimme a break

The director of the Cyber Security and Infrastructure Security Agency, Christopher Krebs. 

[Northcountryman]

With all due respect , He’s talking exclusively about cyber security attacks - Interference like for example , from Russia , which was alleged by the left in 2016 from foreign entities-not the voter fraud originating from fake ballots , illegal voters and double voting That occurred . And, Consequently , considering his title , I’m  sure he has no idea whether THAT type of fraud actually happened or it didn’t . 
 

Look, I’m not saying I know for a fact that any of these irregularities Actually transpired because I don’t ; however , I do believe that they did and there’s substantial anecdotal evidence supporting that Contention.

Yes, by safest I meant secure. And mind you, Christopher Krebs has been a lifelong Republican and he was appointed by Trump. And no, he was most definitely not speaking exclusively about foreign threats.  Trump wouldn’t have fired him if that were the case.

Some people swallow whatever their handlers tell them to, in spite of all the evidence in opposition to what they're told.  

I don't care if a leftist or a Republican says it.  The truth is, we are all being played by an ever expanding government that seeks more and more power each day.  Your rights and liberties are under attack and your vote's integrity has been severely compromised.  But sleep well sheeple, you won't need to worry about the consequences to your progeny.

It’s funny how misfits need to believe that they have some particular insight to the order of things. Surely everyone else is blind and only they can see. 

[Grouse]

Misfits tend to follow the herd trying to fit in and are easily manipulated by those in power.

Try challenging the gist of the post with something credible instead of attacking the character of the person posting.  Maybe you wouldn't be considered a dullard if you did.

This is why I posted in this thread.I've been reading along trying to understand what i'm missing.For the last year i've been listening to both side and trying not to let the media influence me,but i'm definitely missing something here.I understand that there are people that vote republican/democrat no matter who it is.I have an uncle the would vote for the devil himself if he was running for his party.I never payed no mind to Trump until he announced that he was running for president,my first thought was WHAT this is a joke then i listen to what he had to say and felt if he can do half of what he said it would be great for this country.I personally felt Clinton had to much bad baggage from her past.I also understand there are a LOT of people that voted against Trump and not for Biden.

Anyway keep this in mind,I'm a 54 year old uneducated blue collar worker.

It's my understanding that this party wants to change America.Change it to what and why? This is there greatest country in the world or no one would be trying so hard to get into and other country's ether looking up too or trying to defeat.

Please excuse me i have a hard time putting my thoughts into words,but take a minute and try to explain what you see and i don't please
