Well it's official! I'm not a very good American. In fact, by today's standards... I am a VERY bad American! And here's some of the reasons why...
I don't allow the media or Hollywood to sway my thinking. I don't listen to the media and politicians' smear campaigns. I do not go along with the status quo, majority rules or the mob mentality. Instead I really work through the freeze dried bullshit.
I research and really think things over before I decide for me and what's best for me. I decide how I feel or don't feel; which product to buy, what political standing I take and so on. Not the media, not social media, not the entertainment industry, not religion and certainly not politicians. I Choose! I Decide!
By today's Standards...that makes me a VERY bad American.

I don't give in to bullies of any kind. Especially those bullies who come in the guise of someone pretending to know what's best for me. And I certainly do not give in to political correctness because I know, and have always known, that political correctness is a corrosive acid eating away at society; protecting only a select few and oppressing any and everyone who disagrees.

I believe in clarity over agreement.

I love our law enforcement and our military... and their families. I greatly appreciate the sacrifices they make on our behalf.

I don't go out of my way to offend anyone, but if what I believe in and stand for offends someone...I will not apologize. I take responsibility for my own feelings and I insist that others do the same.

I despise ignorance and double-standards wherever they might show up.

I believe that 1 + 1 really does equal 2. And I don't believe you have to come up with some ridiculously abstract formula to arrive at that answer.

I believe in and encourage breast feeding. In public places and private spaces, over yon, over by a pond, in a parked car or in a park; in the light or in the dark. Market places, theater spaces, over there, over here, anywhere and everywhere it matters to me none. Breast feeding is natural and good for baby and mom.

While I believe that every person is loved equally by our Creators and we all have something we contribute for the betterment of our world; I don't believe we are all created equal. Some are smarter, some are stronger, some are short, some are tall, some can really sing, play an instrument very well and some can whip up a delicious full meal out of a few minor ingredients.
By today's Standards...that makes me a VERY bad American.
I believe that ALL Lives Matter. End of story. Period!

I believe in keeping it simple and keeping things real. I believe that while we all have a right to our opinions, we also have a right to remain silent. And I believe there are times when we should exercise the one before offering up the other. In other words, we should always consider the advice: better to be thought a fool than opening your mouth and removing all doubt!

I believe that each country, in particularly and most especially America, needs to take care of their own FIRST.

I believe the majority religions are a snare and racket and more dangerous and more sadistic than the mob or any gang in the world.

I want what is best for everyone--not just Americans. But I will not overlook and ignore the needs of homeless Americans in favor of the needs of homeless non-Americans. I will not ignore the plight of impoverished Americans to attend only to the plights of impoverished non-Americans.

I believe every able bodied man and woman must pull their own weight. And I believe in fair wages. A woman who works the same job as a man should be paid the same as that man. And vice versa.

I do not believe in career welfare recipients or career politicians; I do not believe in free college--free anything for that matter. I'm a realist and I know there is no such thing as FREE. At the same time I DO NOT believe food, water and shelter, healthcare; a good solid education and owning a few luxuries should be so outrageously expensive that it makes it nearly impossible for anyone to have.
