You watch the news today and see protesting in the streets. Protesting in front of houses of worship. Destroying statues of people that were participants in slavery…but wait; those against slavery too. The Founding Fathers were horrible and evil people and should be erased from history. And finally, a political party that supports masks for everyone unless you are protesting against the other party. It looks like our country is a mess right now. It’s a mad and crazy country Americans live in today! Where is common sense in all this? For a laugh, check this out ….. http://content.time.com/time/specials/packages/completelist/0,29569,1895156,00.html
Hidin’ With Biden
We have a political party that has a candidate that isn’t going out to campaign with his constituents. Doctor’s orders as he claims? Or that he will gaffe over and over again in public. His political team keeps him hunkered down in his basement and has promised “virtual” rallies. Unbelievable for an U.S. presidential candidate. I think it’s really so the public can’t see there are very few supporters there. Or we can see his supporters would rather pull down statues or protest churches. I saw that latest slogan for the Biden campaign….Ridin with Biden. I think Hidin with Biden is much more appropriate. It’s a complete mad and crazy country where a presidential candidate just campaigns from home, because they’re so incompetent to go out in public. I never thought this would happen in the U.S.
Protesting For BLM But Destroying Those They Are Representing
As we watch the protesting and rioting going on, I’m confused on what cause is being promoted. I understand the police brutality with the George Floyd tragedy, but it’s morphed into a movement for slavery retribution. Therefore, anything representing slavery is oppressive – slave owners, confederate flag, etc. But why would you destroy statues of Frederick Douglas, Ulysses Grant, and Abraham Lincoln? Didn’t they oppose slavery? As these riots and protests continued, why are they destroying black owned businesses? This makes no sense!!! Why attack both sides? Unless you are just out to cause chaos and get away with it. It seems to work. People seem to do it every day and walk away without any consequences. Mad and crazy, huh?
CHOP/CHAZ Zones
Speaking of no consequences, we have the CHOP or CHAZ areas. Take over city blocks and tell the police that you can’t come in. Huh? What? So you can get a group to go protest, set up barriers, and claim the property including businesses there as your own. And tell the police to go away? Of course, the city government supports it and shuts down the police from responding. Mad and crazy? You bet. What has happened to the sense of democracy in our country? We now allow citizens to basically be held hostage by protesters, and local government allows it. Those located in the zone are held hostage without any representation. So we just allow a socialist state to take over. Where is America?
Between an incompetent presidential candidate to a group that attacks everyone, I just hope that our country can keep it together. Peace is important, and we should work together. But it’s a mad and crazy country Americans live in today. Make sure that you go out and vote this November. We need some sanity to help keep our republic and freedoms we have.
