It's time we let people speak for themselves instead of listening to the self appointed attention seeking SJWs who have no real right to speak on the behalf of others.

What you will never find is your self worth in the approval of those who have no reason to give it. What you will find is that as your confidence increases with practice, your self worth increases because you are accomplishing your goal - and not because someone else happened to notice you.

We're the only nation on Earth with anything like the First Amendment that protects the rights of everyone to speak their own minds. If we don't live up to that standard, no one else will. The results will look a lot like what happens when nation-states become socialist - it's all fun and games until the economy craters and there's no way to bring it back. The empty toilet paper aisles are nothing in comparison to what a decade without American freedom will look like. Poverty, not prosperity, is sure to follow.

Politics are slow and messy - and that beats the heck out of fast and deadly. It takes time to straighten out a government that has lost its collective mind - but Americans were on that job from Day One. And we aren't going to stop until we have secured our rights and taken out the trash that would restrict our rights.

The Democrats are in a precarious position between an insane but influential wing of the party that has been allowed far too much leeway to be reined in now and an increasingly disgruntled base. That the Democrats even entertained, let alone tried to enact, a policy that attacks the union membership, is convincing proof that the leadership is not only out of touch, it's lost the whole plot.

Occasionally, one or both parties collapse - this is why none of us are Whigs. It's not a pleasant thing - especially if your party is collapsing - but it's far from the end of the world.

Like it or not, we are the new sheriff in town

That's the incredible value of the 'free marketplace of ideas'. It let's us take them for a test drive, see what works and what doesn't, tinker with them a bit and then either drive them home - or test out a newer model. Some, like the need for freedom and justice, we keep under the hood all the time. Others, like ducking under the covers every time other nation-states say boo, we have mostly discarded - well, we still keep our isolationist blanket in the closet in case of emergency.

. It's never easy to own a mistake - when that's a political mistake that cost hundreds of thousands of people their jobs NO ONE wants to admit to that. Ever. The media provided the hype to cover the lack of good research and the absolute trash of public health response; politicians doubled down on failed policies in order to look like they were getting something done.
