What can I say about what happened this weekend in Orlando
that has not been said many times over?
I’m not sure but I can tell you that my feelings are my own. I think for myself and will proudly stand up
for things I feel strongly about and one of those things is that we are letting
the political correctness robots systematically tell us what to think and not
think, what to say and not say and how to act and not act and the results are
tragic.
People are afraid to speak up about things they see/hear
that are not right and sometimes downright evil. Why? They fear upsetting the PC robots and being
called racist or hate monger or other ridiculous name simply for speaking up to
protect themselves, their family and others.
I cannot be quiet about this. I
will not be quiet about this.
There is a war happening right now. Are you aware? Are you willing to acknowledge that there are
people out there who hate our country and hate us as Americans? I am not willing to sit quietly and have more
Americans die, especially on American soil, due to fear of being politically
incorrect.
People were ruthlessly targeted and killed by an animal
simply because of their choice of whom to love and during a time of
celebration. Celebration of love, not
hate. By quietly sitting back and
doing/saying nothing, you are accepting these events. I cannot accept them or sit by and
do nothing.
A person consciously chose to take the lives of as many
people as possible in a place where they had little to no chance to protect
themselves much less come out alive. I
will not call this person a man or a human because he is neither. I will
not use the name of the animal because I will not contribute to giving him any
press.
Humans do not hunt other humans this way. They do not take the lives of people simply
because they do not agree with how they live and/or who they love. Animals act this way. Gutless, ruthless, disgusting, animals. You cannot reason with rabid animals and you
cannot reason with radical, fanatical zealots.
You destroy them. You prevent
them from taking any more lives and take measures to keep them out of our great
nation and away from our people – ALL of our people. It is no secret that there are groups of people
out there who want to destroy us and everything that makes America great. It is not a “phobia”, it is a fact.
Why was the shooter investigated more than once by the FBI
and on a watch list but he was still walking around free in our country hating
us, plotting and planning to kill Americans as he worked with, lived near and
perhaps accepted warm greetings from them while he enjoyed the freedom and life
here in America? This is not ok. If you think having some criteria to accept
or deny people into the US is “hate” or “racism”, how do you feel about that
stance today? If you think this is a gun
issue, it is not. It is about protecting our country, our people
– family, friends, loved ones.
There are people who should not be allowed into our country
because they are a danger to all of us and the American way of life. Again, this is not a matter of hate or racism
or any other ridiculous ‘label’ – it is a matter of fact. It is a matter of safety and security. It is an act of love for our country and each
other to want to keep ourselves and our lives safe and secure.
What can you do? You
can think about what you value more – not offending anyone or keeping our nation
safe. You can think for yourself, do
your own research and determine how to use your vote in the upcoming election
to put the US on the best path to keep our country great and make it a place
where anyone looking to take us down knows we will not be bullied, attacked or
tormented in our own country. You can be
alert and aware of your surroundings and speak up if you see something or
someone that could pose danger to you and others.
We have a president who when faced with a mountain of
evidence that what happened in Orlando was another act of TERRORISM committed
by a radicalized person who communes with other radicalized people with the
same deep, dark hatred of us, will not acknowledge any part of the ugly
truth. Ignoring it does not mean it is
not true. Ignoring it has not really
worked out well for him or us, has it? I
would put some stats here about the amount of mass shootings during the past 8
years in comparison to the total in US history but go do the research yourself.
And to the LGBT community – I love you. I love, admire and respect your courage to celebrate
love and life without conditions or apologies.
No government or entity should ever think they have the right to tell
another human who they can or cannot love, marry, divorce and/or create family
with because it is not anyone’s business or place to do so. Life is short. Be happy and encourage strength in our
communities and in our families because at the end of the day, we are all
Americans. We should stand
together. You know, the whole united we
stand thing? Yeah, that.
Plot twist – I am a Republican - a southern mama, gun
owning, Christian, Republican. Did you
see that coming? No, I bet you did
not. I’m supposed to be homophobic,
racist and basically beating people to death with bibles… but I’m not any of
those things. I judge people based on
their actions, character and treatment of others --- and sometimes their shoes but
hello? ;-)
All for now, folks.
