For years now, these pages have called for the return of Superman, the proverbial American hero who fights for truth, justice, and the American way. Our new president seems to be the closest thing we've ever had to a Superman in real life. I wish my father were here to see all this, he would be so happy and proud that he made the hard and dangerous journey to America.
These pages DO NOT blindly champion Donald Trump or republicans or conservatism. If you have been reading along for over 6 years now, you know that these pages champion truth, reason, common sense and above all, the responsibility of every individual to do the best they can in this life for themselves (since that is the best way to help others as well). If you know me even just a little, you know me to be a "social liberal", as in I hold many "liberal" views about my private life. I am pro LGBT, pro choice, and happy to be toking whenever the chance arises. What I am not is a freeloader-I will not fight for your right to "free" anything. I payed for birth control out of pocket for decades (the price hasn't changed, by the way, so 30 bucks a month was a lot more money 30 years ago than it is now). Birth control, abortion, your special diet, gym membership, braces, cosmetic surgery, sex reassignment surgery....these are personal issues that are nobody's business but yours, and therefore should not be sponsored by anyone other than YOU. Now, if you insist on using (my money) tax dollars to pay for these things, then I insist that you let me have a say in your private life. Want free or subsidized birth control? Than I should have the right to tell you when and how many children you can have. Or pick your sex partners. Should I pay for your abortion? Then I should pay for your sterilization too....change your penis to a vagina? I hear it's getting more affordable all the time now, so start saving. Do you not want to control your own life? Are you so willing and ready to give it all away to float on other people's decisions and other people's money?
It seems you all forgot your world history classes and what happens with human nature when the incentives to take care of yourself are removed....well, I know they no longer teach that kind of stuff directly, but you could at least take a look around and see the cause and effect for yourself. I don't want to live by some of your personal rules any more than you want to live by mine, and I don't expect you to finance my lifestyle choices. It would be great if we could at least mutually agree on that.
