I make no apologies for loving my country more than I love unity. For 4 years the left had no interest in unity. They finally convinced me that there should be none. I'm on board with their desires. I have no interest in being polite, cordial, compassionate, empathetic, or understanding of the left as a whole. There are individuals and individual circumstances that may cause me to make an exception, such as an illness, family death, pet death, but in general, I have nothing to say to anyone left of center or a Biden voter. I'm ok if they have nothing to say to me either. If this sentiment means that it is best that I leave the barn, I'll be very sorry to have to do that, but I will.

I can’t just get along because I will always remember Kavanaugh and his family.

Along with MAGA, conservatives should also shout: “Remember Kavanaugh”

If I’m misinterpreting the subject, then it’s because I don’t play the race game. I’ll leave that to the democrats.

The answer to the question is yes. The question to the question is do we want to.

Discuss.

I spent 13 years in the USN believing our enemies are outside the US. Boy, was I wrong.

Can't get too upset with what is said or posted here, folks come and go. Usually posting on forums is basically a call for some attention by the poster, kind of a "look at me" or "look what I've done" thing. I'm certainly no stranger to that.

A lot of the posts are good natured with a bit of in-house (between two or several persons) banter going on that some don't understand, but that's OK, most don't care.

So, everybody have a nice day, politics be damned, because there isn't a soul here that can do anything about it.
