I Am a Conservative

I am a conservative. I love my country, I like people who wave American flags, and yes, I do think America has done more good for the world than any other nation in history. That doesn’t mean we’re perfect, but it does mean we’re the primary reason the free world still exists after WW1, WW2, and the Cold War. We’ve also done the unpleasant, dirty work it took to keep the world free since then and all we’ve gotten in return is complaints, critics who never do anything saying they would have done it better, and billions of ungrateful people whining about us even as they enjoy our aid, protection and the security we provide at the cost of American blood and treasure.

I believe the Founding Fathers were ten times smarter than any politician we have today, and the Constitution was the greatest document created by humankind. If only everyone felt that way and insisted we stick to it, half the problems we have in our country wouldn’t exist, while most of the other ones would disappear if we shrunk our government and got our spending under control.

I don’t know everything, but I do know that if you don’t have a border, you don’t have a country, and if we ever lose our 2^nd Amendment rights, bad guys sent by the government will show up soon after and force us to do things at gunpoint we’d shoot them for if we still had our weapons.

You always hear liberals accusing people like me of hating everybody under the sun. Supposedly, people like me hate black people, Hispanics, Asians, Jews, Women, and gays. You name them and liberals say we hate them. The truth is that the last person I hated was Osama bin Laden, and he’s dead now, which I think is a good thing.

I don’t even hate liberals, but I do think it’s funny when they tell everyone to look out for tyranny and fascism because the only tyranny and fascism I see in America is them. People like me are tyrants? I’d like to get rid of half the government, balance the budget, and have DC leave us the hell alone. That isn’t tyranny. Tyranny is censorship, big government, high taxes, and a bunch of angry weirdos telling us men are women and that we don’t get to enforce the immigration laws on the books, even though we won the election.

I don’t think wanting an honest media, transparent elections, or requesting that people enter our country legally is a big ask. It also pisses me off to see people who weren’t even born in this country, coming here, getting citizenship, and then getting on welfare, waving foreign flags, or somehow being elected to office and explaining how we need to do things more like they did in the sh*tty countries they fled to come here. If our country is welcoming you as a citizen, the least you can do is show some respect to the country that took you in.

Speaking of respect, stop blocking the roads for your dumb protests, rioting in the streets, and calling it peaceful, or pretending like police and ICE agents that are just doing their jobs are the problem, instead of the people acting like lunatics around them. You don’t have the right to burn down cities, loot businesses, and attack people you don’t like. Peacefully protest all you like, but none of that is peacefully protesting, and a lot of us are disgusted by the people pretending that it is.

I like guns, pretty women, and I believe in God. I think soldiers, cops, and ICE agents do a hundred times more to make America work than political activists, protesters, and media personalities. While I also don’t have any beef with celebrities having political opinions just like everyone else, I’m not sure why I’m supposed to take their opinions seriously because they’re good at pretending to be other people on the big screen. That doesn’t give you any special insight into anything other than how to memorize scripts, whose ass to kiss in Hollywood, and the best places to hire illegal aliens to do your gardening.

Let me also add that whatever problems we have in America, very few of them are being caused by straight, white, law-abiding, tax-paying, Christian conservative men who just want to be left alone. If you’re blaming people like us for your problems, you should be looking in the mirror to find the real culprit. Along similar lines, I don’t want to hear what a victim you are, how oppressed you’ve been, or how hard you’ve got it if you live in America. If that’s you, you’re one of the luckiest people on earth, and despite all your whining, you know it because you’re not moving.

Last but not least, like a lot of conservatives, I’m tired. I’m tired of being lied about 24x7. I’m tired of the most hateful, vicious, nasty people in our society claiming that people like me secretly are just as horrible as they are openly. I’m tired of the endless, never-ending double standards that are applied to every situation, all day long, in politics in America. I’m tired of politicians with personal security releasing criminals, Democrats that have been mismanaging black communities for decades blaming us for problems we have nothing to do with, and I’m tired of being told we’re supposed to have endless compassion for perverted men who want to be in locker rooms with women, illegal aliens who willingly broke our laws knowing that the penalty was deportation, and disgusting Democrats who encourage violent nutcases to try to kill people like me and then pretend to not know exactly what they’re doing.

All I want to do is pay my own way, be left alone, and enjoy living in the greatest country that has ever existed in human history without having the government tax me into oblivion, censor me, or steal my freedoms. That shouldn’t be considered a lot to ask for.
