Is this about Republicans or about Democrats?
Republicans continue to block the solutions to the problems we face and the other half of the time republicans are the problem we face. Replace republican with democrat so these statements make sense.
A friend from the Air Force Academy sent me a copy of a post entitled, “About Republicans”. Click the link to read the entire post. Be apart of the conversation by adding your voice to the survey below.
I’m not sure where to being with this.
Let me start with if you write something called “ About Republicans” you probably should write it in a way it cannot be used against your party as I intend to do.
Mr. Bill runs a spice shop called Penzeys. In his post he says, “We live in a time calling out for change and for solutions to the very real problems our country and planet face.” He wants to use his “unique positions spices hold in his life “to try to help promote the solutions to these problems.” At no time in his post does he promote any solutions.
What are these “very real problems facing our country and our planet? He mentions a few later in the post. Bill has watched the “slow decline of the republican party over the last half century and the steep decline/bottom falling out over the last decade.”
I wonder if he watched the rapid decline of the democrat party. Has he watched how they have embraced programs such as DEI, gender affirming care for children, calling people of color every name under the sun if they dare disagree with the democrat party line? Has he watched as our southern border is being overrun by illegal immigrants, who take away benefits that should be used on American citizens and veterans? Has he watched the steep decline/bottom falling out of our education system, the increased rates of crime in many cities controlled by democrats? Has he watched cities burn while democrat governors ignore the destruction for 3 days before acting?
Apparently not since he continues by saying these problems were created by republicans who have no desire to fix them.
Continuing, he writes, “The republican departure from conservative values and embrace of what,… looks a whole lot like insanity didn’t happen by chance.” Apparently republicans “profit from inhumanity that is at the roots of pretty much every problem we are facing.” The problems he wants to pin on republicans are a disregard for clean water and air, of course all of us are racist and are always looking for a way to discriminate against someone. Republicans are responsible for our abysmal healthcare system, and we are the reason why our democracy must be saved, although no one ever says what we’re saving it from. If Bill is really concerned about our Republic, perhaps he should ask how he and his supporters have been presented with a nominee for president, they did not vote for. This was the work of the democrat party. “Republicans continue to block the solutions to the problems we face and the other half of the time republicans are the problem we face.”
Replace republican with democrat so these statements make sense. Mr. Bill has no respect for the nonsense the republicans are promoting.
Earlier I listed a few of the problems we are facing. They are insane problems created by the nonsense of the democrat party.
Bill continues by saying that propaganda is at the heart of how republican voters have been steered away from conservative values. Of course he doesn’t state which conservative values we have been steered away from through propaganda. He also implies that much of the propaganda we hear leads to “nothing more than HATE!!!” I’m guessing he wasn’t in the country during the summer of love 2020, when the left leaning media manipulators stood in front of burning businesses and said with a straight face, “these are mostly peaceful protest.” Bill missed the recording of Maxine Waters telling citizens to get in the face of republicans and let them know they’re not welcome. Most recently the democrats, who are so full of love and joy, piled on the wife of Robert F. Kennedy for basically not divorcing him when he endorsed Trump for president.
I’ve mentioned the name calling that flows so easily from the mouths of white and black liberals directed at black conservative because they think for themselves and have decided the democrat party is not for them. I personally was called a “self-loathing none representing black man, by a black man because we see things differently. More recently, I was called an Uncle Ruckus, again because I believe something other than the democrat narrative.
Bill states “But we really have no hate for Republican voters. None at all.”
Bill goes back to the racism issue, stating “there are a growing number that are there for the racism,”. He must be referring to those folks that call me and others names meaning he’s referring to his own party.
Mr. Bill believes the problem is what we are now voting to support. Speaking for myself, I support secure borders, open and honest elections, no unnecessary wars, low inflation, low interest rates, respect for law enforcement officers, smaller federal government with less regulations and lower taxes, respect for our veterans and current military service men and women, schools that actually teach children how to read, write and do basic math. I support the Constitution. I am pro life and I support traditional families and school choice. I believe every American citizen has the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. I support faith, families and freedom. I do not support hate towards any group of people; however, there are certain groups of people who’s lifestyle I disagree with. I have that right, so don’t approach me with anger and hate, or expect me to affirm your lifestyle.
I still have a deep-rooted belief in paying my debts, respecting marriage, raising children willing to serve, honoring your word and living out our faith. Bill suggests that these values caused me to vote for Trump (they can never talk about the issues without mentioning Trump)
“Biden’s son having a computer” didn’t cause me to vote for Trump. The manipulation media did their best to suppress that information until it was proven to be accurate. Bill writes, we didn’t vote for Hillary because she was over prepared and used emails. What?!
Mr. Bill states we are consistently voting for people who are the exact opposite of the values we hold dear. Those whom I vote for support the values I listed above.
He then goes on to say you’re welcome to buy his products; however, “we’re done pretending the Republican Party’s embrace of cruelty, racism, Covid lies, climate change denial, and threats to democracy are anything other than the risks they legitimately are. If you need us to pretend you are not creating the hurt you are creating in order for you to continue to be our customer, I’m sad to say you might be happier elsewhere.”
Again, the norm of the democrat party is they are right about everything, you are wrong, and they will not have an intellectual discussion about the issues. Bill closes by implying republicans don’t support equality, the environment and democracy.
Bill, I hope you run your business better than you write. Your post was nonsensical and easily discredited. At the end of the day, it seems you’re speaking about your own party.
Let me know if I’m wrong about that.
His mindset is quite scary... completely devoid of reality. Apparently white is actually black (note: not a reference to skin color).
Bill might be a nice individual but he actually suspends reality to position himself to criticize. I read his piece and it’s an emotional essay with no substance. Here are some objective realities, 12 of last 16 years the country has had a Democrat president. In 2019 (3 years no Democrat) prior to Covid we had higher household purchasing power parity than we had experienced in over 30 years, real GDP wage growth across all races and genders, and we had a 4 year stretch where hadn’t entered or been involved in a new foreign occupation or war. I’m sorry Bill I vote this way because my priority is to Liberty and my family. That is my job as a father, husband, and citizen, if you call that hate then so be it.
