There have been no posts lately because most of the things that drive me to write have been the kind that makes you want to scream. I try not to use bad language in my posts so just did not write. Today an event made me change my mind and try to write my thoughts without swearing or cussing.
The left, liberals, or woke crowd has been with us for quite some time and lately it has become more evident that this group would destroy the America that I grew up in. They are doing it from the inside out and it took a pandemic to show this to us. The closing of schools with students doing their lessons on computers at home allowed parents to finally see the real content of what was being taught, It stirred many of them into action and we now see many school boards and state legislators being removed from office and new curriculums installed. There are more to come and hopefully this Fall's election will change many more to stop this scourge of socialism and child indoctrination. If a man were to take a child in the third or fourth grade and teach him how to masturbate he would be arrested and sent to jail as a child predator but New Jersey has announced that they are starting to teach gender identity and how to handle sexual stress during the second grade or when children are about 7 years old. It is enough to make a grown man sick and certainly must scare most parents. This is just the start of the left's intentions and I have had a hard time believing many of the news reports about it.
For the past few years we have heard about the left and their agendas but have not really felt it close to us. That changed today for me although it started to make me think last Fall when my minister took action against our Church janitor. I have many friends that are democrats and have a different political philosophy than me but we are able to discuss our differences and agree on many points and agree to disagree on the others. We either do not discuss politics and religion or simply have friendly discussions while remaining friends. These kind of discussions are a great way to learn and re-examine your own ideas and thoughts. Defund the police then blame the rising crime rate on the right or as New York State did changed the law to eliminate bail for felonies and release those captured back on the street immediately. One instance in NYC a bank robber was released and within a week he robbed another bank. They released him again and he robbed another bank. Even with this happening the state legislature has yet to reverse their bail law. Florida passed a law prohibiting the teaching of sexual related education to children in grades kindergarten to fourth. The law says nothing about gender identity or what the terms used are but the left has named it the gay law without reading it and condemned the Florida governor for its passage. Apparently they want their children treated to sex education at 5 to 8 years old by a total stranger. Again if a person did this outside of the school they could be arrested for child molestation.
Today was the day I met a real woke leftie and it quite caught me off guard because I had thought of her as a friend for a few years. We had tangled on political matters before but agreed to disagree and went on with our coffee hour as usual. This morning at a local coffee house and together with 8 to 12 friends enjoying sone of the pleasures of retirement I was sitting next to her and somehow she entered my conversation with another person and of course disagreed. As I tried to make my point she turned to me and said" you hate blacks, you hate Latinos" and mentioned a few other groups that she said I hated. She went on to say that she had been listening to me for a while and determined that I hated these people. When I offered one of my books that explain how I do feel about some of these groups she said very nastily that she would never read anything that I wrote ever, I'm not sure where she heard the things that made her say this but she has determined that anyone that disagrees with her is wrong and probably a lot of other things, I tried again to reason with her and asked her what I had said to make her feel that way; and she would not talk to me. I finally told her that since she refused the other side of a discussion her politics must be her religion. and ended the conversation. Tomorrow she will show up again and try to take over our conversation but I think that I will tell her to take he religion somewhere else since I am a Chrisian and there are no politics in my religion. This is the first time that I have ben confronted personally with the left that tells every one that they are included, that is, unless they disagree with them. Back to my minister who puts a statement with the rainbow flag on the screen in the front of my Church before the service telling us that everyone is included and is welcomed at our Church. Well that is except our former janitor whose wife wore an inappropriate tee shirt at a Saturday football parking event. Her shirt had become soiled and the only other shirt she had did have some bad political language on it but she was parking cars ant not attending Church. Instead of counselling her and her husband he fired her husband. She should have worn a rainbow shirt or had the shirt worded toward the minister's political bent. So, I guess our Church is not totally inclusive and if you disagree with the minister you will get thrown out. What a shame.
