I remember freedom. It was cool. I also remember when ridiculous people weren’t protected, coddled and rewarded for their stupid ideas. I remember when success was something people sought to achieve, and the consequences of mistakes were a POWERFUL teacher.
I also remember when hypocrisy was a REALLY bad thing. Hypocrites were viewed as clowns who couldn’t be trusted. I remember when deals were made over a handshake. When a reputation was something that you fought to protect.
Your word was your bond, and if you were found to be untrustworthy, your life was hard. “There goes that guy. Never do business with him. He can’t be trusted.” I remember people moving to different towns just because their reputation was ruined.
I remember when men were the protectors of women. If they saw a woman being assaulted, they would literally beat the shit out of the scumbag doing it. But now? Now men want to see how fast they can get their cell phone out to record a woman being beaten up.
I remember when children were brought up with a sense of purpose. “What are you going to be when you grow up?” they would ask. “A non-binary, gender studies major” was never the answer. I want to be a cowboy, doctor, firefighter, or even the president of the greatest county ever.
Society now is pure dog sh^t. Leftists have purposefully weakened America to the breaking point. And they did it while promising that it was for the greater good. Ensuring us that the “evil communism” people talk about is a result of right-wing disinformation.
Communism is “normal, natural, healthy, and beneficial to the human condition.” No. Communism/socialism is the same shit people have been warning us about for decades. Nothing has changed.
When we say that we want to “take back our country,” we are accused of being white nationalists. Nazis. Uh… No. That ain’t it. We want duty, honor, and courage. We want truth. Justice. We want corrupt politicians, regardless of party affiliation, to go home.
We want the maximum amount of freedom for people who understand what freedom, and a lack thereof, really means. But we also want people to have the kind of integrity and sense of personal responsibility that it takes to wield that kind of freedom.
How leftists have turned these fundamentally good things into the supposed traits of racists, liars, traitors, insurrectionists, homophobes (and so on) is the greatest propaganda coup in the history of history. I utterly reject these shameful and dangerous liars.
The governments of the world have caused more pain and misery by trying to rescue morons from themselves than anything else I can think of. And when success is punished at every turn, the outcome is as you would expect.

“Every conservative policy, however, is fated from the start to fail; after all, its essence is to stop something unstoppable, to resist a development that cannot be impeded.” —Ludwig von Mises

From Nation, State, and Economy”
@MattWalshBlog, I have known @PolitiBunny for years. For the sake of her children and her country, she had dedicated herself to advancing the conservative causes. I’m not talking about blogging, either. She’s been in the trenches. Volunteering, campaigning, school board meetings.
Talking of jettisoning her, and calling her a “clown,” is a bridge too far. The movement is FAR stronger with her, and turning your back on her hard work is insulting to those who she has positively impacted. Please stop this.

“You know education, if you make the most of it, you study hard, you do your homework, and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. If you don’t, you get stuck in Iraq.” —John Kerry

Can we cancel Kerry for saying the troops are dumb? #TuckerCarlsonHatesOurTroops @USAA
Jane Fonda is a hero of the political left, which I find odd since she betrayed and disparaged the troops. #TuckerCarlsonHatesOurTroops @USAA
Hillary Clinton had the support of Democratic Party as she ran for president. Millions of Democrats voted for her. I find this very difficult to understand as she disparaged a top US generation on behalf of MoveOn.

This is @travisakers.
He is pressuring @USAA to cancel @TuckerCarlson because Carlson “disparaged” a former member of the United States military.
Let’s have a look at the kind of exchanges that occur in @travisakers timeline. Specifically, let’s look at some of the things that have been said about @DanCrenshawTX.

Tracy Stone-Manning Joe Biden’s nominee to serve as director of the Bureau of Land Management.
She has made shocking statements regarding population control. Likening babies to “environmental hazards.” h/t @DailyCaller
In May, Stone-Manning told the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee that she had never been the target of a federal criminal investigation. That’s a lie. She lied to the committee, yet her nomination still stands.
