My apologies for the sparse content since the election, it's been a busy few weeks digging out the backyard to construct a bunker, and scouring the interwebz for information on how to freeze dry my wife's green chili chicken enchiladas for long-term storage in the event that the apocalypse arrives sans Rapture...
I won't ramble too much, as the attached video is where the important stuff is, but here's the deal. I hereby renounce or deny my identity as a member of "The Right" or even as a Republican. I am a Constitutional Conservative with a strong Libertarian leaning with a dash of Christian social responsibility thrown in just to keep the haters hating... While the idiots who stormed the Capitol last week are no more representative of Conservatism than ANTIFA is representative of your garden-variety Democrat, the fact is that they are no better than ANTIFA.
We, as a Nation, are being lied to, manipulated and swindled by our government, on both sides of the aisle. In collusion with Big Tech, Big Business, Big Pharma, the Military Industrial Complex and countless other "Bigs", our leaders actively seek to divide us via identity politics. On the "right", the riots and chaos created by BLM and ANTIFA in 2020 played right into their hands, a super visible, high shock value display of the destructive and lawless nature of the left. On the left, Trump's refusal to accept the election results provided ample proof that he is a corrupt, arrogant leader who threatens the very fabric of this country's laws and processes, and his supporters storming the Capitol proved how dangerous the right really is.
At least that's the message you are being sold... The FACTS are much less exciting. A great majority of voting Democrats do NOT support the anarchy and violent rioting, looting and rhetoric that fueled the BLM/ANTIFA show last year. But the narrative provided to them by their "leadership" (Orange Man Bad, Black Genocide via Law Enforcement, etc) and their various legacy and digital media platforms ensured that plenty of these folks see the right as dangerous, power-mad, racist bible-hugging lunatics. A great majority of voting Republicans are disgusted with what happened at the Capitol, and strongly oppose racism and all of the other isms they are so commonly accused of. But the narrative provided to them by their leadership ensures that plenty of them see the left as straight-up morally bankrupt, criminal apologists who are trying to steal their money, ruin their neighborhoods and sell America down the socialist river.
Here's the real deal: The left does indeed want to change some things within the Constitutional foundation, the bedrock of our Nation. They have engaged in plenty of shady behavior and back-room deals to pull off stuff like Obamacare and are currently outright bragging about how they intend to stack the Supreme Court, to gut the 2nd Amendment while encouraging media platforms to interfere with the 1st Amendment. But let's not leave the right out of this. The right has always bragged about how they support Big Business, often with little regard for how that might impact the average man on the street, the environment or the best interests of the United States. Both sides use the demonization o0f the opposition as a way to divert attention from their own efforts to tighten their grip on power and control...
So while I do indeed strongly oppose progressive ideology in general, and firmly believe that it is in direct conflict with the Judeo-Christian values and morality that this Nation was founded upon, that it intentionally and vocally attacks and weakens the Constitutional framework that has provided us with nearly 250 years of freedom, growth and success, the reality is that much of the conservative ideology has been twisted and manipulated to the point that the good things that come from the middle ground are unattainable due to an arrogant belief that biblical truth, patriotism and strength are only found on the right. So I will take my Constitutional Conservative belief system, my faith in The Lord and Savior, and my love for my fellow man, and stand outside of the box our leaders have tried to put me in. I will welcome discussion and understanding with ANY person who I do not see eye to eye with, and I will do everything I can to let my actions and my heart be unmistakably Christian. Please check out my Youtube channel for a video about what pursuing your identity and how letting the world around you define it is a HUGE mistake.
Hang in there friends, we serve an Almighty God, and He is a much bigger deal than Donald Trump and Joe Biden... I assure you He is neither Republican or Democrat.
