Golden Rule Number One

I do know myself, others and I do understand people.

My words are truth and it is for that reason that I have posted what I have because it HAS set me free.

Thanks and ciao.

I get what your saying, for example; one thing that drives me up a wall is democratic catholics… it’s the upmost hypocritical oxymoron, you cannot faithfully be both.

However, if we follow your line of thinking to the end, it would seem quite dictatorial to say everyone but me is wrong, and everyone else should be fixed. Optimism and hope must always remain. You can’t give up on the human race because of a bunch of idiots. Nor can you just get rid of the idiots.
Keep your stance, use your voice, but we have to find common ground WITH EVERYONE AND KEEP AMERICA STANDING

I wasn’t responding to you or anyone else directly. It (my post) was a personal experience with a 28 year old I worked with (daily) for about a year.

Thanks Adam. I hear ya’

I also hear your agony with democrat (they are not democratic) Catholics. I am Roman Catholic and feel exactly the same.

They will find a microcosm of life in the soils of Mars and call it life and yet the moment of conception for them is not.

Hypocrisy drives me wild. Just absolutely wild.

When we converted to being Catholic from a very conservative Bible only, christian only faith I was mortified because I knew most Catholics don’t even know their own faith. That’s why so many non-Catholics accuse Catholic Church of so many untrue teachings.

We talk about this a lot with our children. The cradle Catholics seem dumbfounded and brainwashed with so many things that go against the teaching of Christ passed down through the Church as well as the written part in the Bible. It’s a long hard journey that I’ll save for another day. But with way too many heretics running the Church what can you do but pray.

You know I thought the COMMON GROUND I could find with my former coworker was gun ownership/2ND Amendment. Though he was a gun owner, I couldn’t understand how or why he voted for Biden & Harris. But, his stance was (& I despise this lie) “nobody’s coming for our guns man. You let the media & all these gun fanatics get you all riled up for no reason!”

So yeah no COMMON GROUND there… But I get what you’re saying though. I was his team leader & we had to put politics aside to accomplish the daily task before us & we did until he left last month.

I understand. It’s difficult to do what you did, but I do understand. I don’t like it, but I understand.

I just don’t like the ‘peace makers’. I’m sick of 'em; sick of their ‘excuses’. There is no peace until the hypocrisy ends. Period.

I do know myself, others and I do understand people.

There was no peace… Just 2 men with a job to do. Setting personal differences aside for 8 hours is reasonable in my opinion.

Then stop using the word that the Left has co-opted, Liberalism, and use the real term, Socialism. Liberals believe in our Constitution, limited government and Freedom.

The Democratic Party is now the party of Socialists, such as AOC, and use the term Liberal to confuse the ignorant. There are no true Democrats representing that party any longer. There may still be true Democrats that identify with that party, but one will not see one of those speak out against the Leftists that have come to power in their party as they are afraid of being ravaged by the hate-filled Leftists that permeate the politics, media, and social platforms. You can also see the terms the Socialists use in bills and laws. We speak of firearm laws, the Left, “gun control”. The Left (Socialists, et al), always re-define terms that have different meanings in reality, for the sole reason of confusing the ignorant and maligning those they hate. This is clear even in this USCCA community.

You’re entitled to your opinion, but I wish people would stop referring to everyone left of Reagan as a “liberal,” especially authoritarians. If conservatives believe that words matter, then it’s worth remembering that the Bill of Rights was written by liberals who believed in individual liberty. Modern authoritarians who seek to tear down the Bill of Rights because it restricts government power are not “liberals.” They’re something else entirely.

All I know is that if a very healthy number of 5 million votes were illegal, even that’s way over estimated, that still leaves 75 million morons that voted for this bumbling idiot and the whore and if THAT’S not stupidity, socialism, communism, democrat or whatever other label one wants to put on it, then WHAT name WOULD be subscribed to these village idiots, because it CERTAINLY CAN BE JUST ONE LABEL TO FIT THEM ALL. PERIOD.

Truth is seldom pleasant. You have to agree if liberal speaks of airstrikes or confiscating property of political opponents, he ceases to be a liberal. Being kind is more important than being right, but there are limits that should not be crossed, if we hope for civility

That’s pretty much my MO here at USCCA.

But frankly, once someone accepts authoritarianism over freedom, the “left” and “right” labels are meaningless to me.
