I was a Kennedy democrat since his election in 1960 because I helped my mom stump the party line during the campaign. I was in the Navy stationed on board a cruiser in Japan when JFK was assassinated. That kind of cemented the liberal into me until 1. I had made something for myself in the 90s and early 2000s and 2. my best friend of 30 years convinced me that in order to protect what I had built for myself, I had to bolster it all by adopting a conservative POV.
The differences are stark: before, I relied on the state, after, I relied on myself; now, I rely on the Heavenly Father and his son, Jesus Christ.
Being a Kennedy democrat was okay, as he was trying to take down the bad guys. He was also very smart. If you haven't already, you need to read a book called "A Day in the Life of President Kennedy" by Jim Thorpe. Kennedy would read three huge newspapers front to back before breakfast, and he could remember all of it if you wanted to discuss an article.
Trump was that type of democrat and only put the R after his name so he would have a chance against Hillary.
There's the craziest part about people like Kennedy they can read through 3 newspapers And answer any questions about any article. They're not even reading the entire article or the entire newspaper. These are extremely smart people that are on the spectrum before they even knew there were such a thing as the spectrum. I have a daughter that's the same way She can take a book that takes most people 3 weeks to read and do it in 25 minutes And get an a plus on the essay Because of how smart they are in her case she can read the 1st sentence in every paragraph and the last sentence in every paragraph I and understand exactly what's in the middle of the paragraph. Kennedy, trump, Cruz Have those kind of smarts.
A lot of times there's actually nothing in the middle.
I have Asperger's, so I'm "on the spectrum."
In 12th grade English class, we had reading comprehension tests. I never got to a speed level where I got less than 100% on the test, so I don't know how fast I can read. I do know that it's pretty fast and that I don't have to read every word. Some people look at each letter to recognize a word and then at each word to recognize a phrase. I take in big chunks all at once. I do slow way down when reading classic fiction because every word there has a purpose. Newer books are literally page-turners for me.
I didn't have to read aloud much, if any, as far as I can remember. I don't know that I had any trouble or would have had any trouble reading aloud. It would probably be a monotone and boring, just as it was for most of the other boys.
I did translate Caesar orally on the fly in Latin class in high school. The teacher loved my "loose translations." Actually, I didn't know all the words and was filling in from context.
I had a grade school classmate with Asperger's and he went on to write the program for defibrillators by studying the EKGs of 35 patients dying of a heart attack.. When his mentor/professor was close to death, he told my classmate to give everything to the world; he sent everything to MIT and there ya go, he saved millions of lives before he passed away this year and will continue saving lives as a legacy.
But I did rewrite docketing software for a major law firm in 1999 that was absolutely going to quit working entirely on 1-1-2000 and make the firm go out of business. I didn't even get a raise that year. Bummer. I went Galt not long after that. They don't deserve me.
So I sit here listening to old records and researching genealogy. Computers make both so much easier.
I hope the books I've written will endure and be my own legacy.
Indeed- I had questions while in the Navy about the Gulf of Tonkin "incident" as it almost drew the ship I was on back to Japan when it occurred-we were on the way back stateside for refit- a few months later, when I was in the radio room, we got a radioman 3rd from the USS Maddox and he looked really apprehensive and hollow eyed. I later deduced he was given the riot act in the form of signing the NDA secrets act.. From that time on, every crisis involving Naval vessels I looked at with a skeptical mind.. from that, ANY crisis...
Unfortunately, my best friend passed away Jan 24th 2020, but before he died, he gifted me with items of some intrinsic value to make certain I would be in good financial shape. It helped immensely.
That’s super interesting. They’ve done a lot of twin studies on things like that. My family, grandpa was democrat because he was a teacher. And grandma was a republican so they fought like crazy over it. My dad is a liberal hippie, his brothers are Trump supporters. I guess I just want everyone to get along because none of them are better than the other, they’re all fantastic people with many flaws. They still fight just like their parents did. Total shitshow. 😭
LOL I hear you. My father was also a Kennedy Democrat and mom was a Republican. They would joke that they cancelled each others vote out. Half my family are Dem/liberals and the rest of us are Trump supporters and more on the conservative. During my father's later years in life, he slowly became Republican. Guess he woke up. They rarely talked politics, but I did learn a lot from my father's POV on politics and how he evolved.
Being a democrat appeals to the younger generation. That until you actually make enough to have to pay taxes for people who did jack shit their whole lives and are used by democrats to get votes.
I’m just me. I think how I do and didn’t need a label to keep my thoughts in line. There’s a lot of pressure in calling oneself a democrat or republican. So do a little thought experiment: cultures change over time. If you were born in 1830 in the South, would you have been a slave owner? What if you were born a slave? What if you were born in 420 AD in Rome, which political caste would you be in? It would have nothing to do with the concepts around now. There are good people born into liberal families and bad people born into republican ones vice versa.
Truth is you would be molded by whatever culture you grew up in.
So I try to remove my cultural influences and be supportive to the people around me because my basic beliefs are that God has a plan for me. I’m here for a reason. If I was anything, I should live up to the expectations of whoever created me and that source of power is myriad of complexity.
There will one day be the last person alive, if you were alone, reflecting back on humanity, all of us, what would be your final thought?
Thats how I try to live my life. If I was the last person who owned the final thought I would show humility and gratitude for my experiences, without judgement on myself or anyone that lived before me. I do my best to honor the creative force behind God.
I actually feel the best when I’m in that zone so I try to foster coherence between us with respect that someone made you with love and great care. When people fight we definitely aren’t living up to God’s standards he clearly commanded us to do.
I was a California Democrat. I was asked why I didn’t like trump. As I tried to prepare to deliver verbal destruction I could not find any hard data to support my conclusions. Nobody wants to look like an idiot on a forum. I could not come up with anything that would hold up if I was trying to destroy someone. That is why when you see the left in interviews get angry and stomp off. They could not just like I could not. Watch any video when someone on the left is asked their faces go blank and they get even angrier. It’s easier for them to take away your first amendment rights than to do critical thinking about themselves.
The nail in the left for me was watching comey stand in front of the world and Say we did not charge her because she did not mean to anything wrong. Classified information cases are open and shut. Throw in lynch on the tarmac.
If an overweight black woman says she was talking about golf, that is the dog whistle for I am lying to you.
Found the donald and have been here ever since. Almost every day for the last 4.5 years
So my father in law had Fox News on yesterday and not only did they cover this story, but they actually played the clip of Jim Jordan saying “Your memo, Mr. Attorney General, is the last straw. I think it is the catalyst for a Great Awakening that is just getting started.” I was shocked!
Jim Jordan is one of several reasons I'm proud to be an Ohioan. I got to see him in person at the Trump rally this past summer at the Lorain County Fairgrounds, he was walking in by the fence where we were sitting, and I got a picture of him. Fuck hollywood, HE'S a celebrity to me, and I was starstruck when I saw him - I "woo"ed real loud and shouted, "We love you, Jim!" :) If only we had a few hundred more of him in the House.
The people in Hollywood definitely do not live good lives. They all abuse each other. Get close enough to that and it’s not hard to realize how utterly corrupted the arts scene is. I’ve spent real time with a lot of these people and met a few people involved. I met an artist with a Grammy, I went to an acting school that’s known to spit out a few famous people. I wouldn’t say anything good about it.
In fact the dude I know with a Grammy said if he could do it all over again, he’d play his guitar in church (like he was doing when I met him).
It’s a bit incestuous, Hollywood. A cesspool of abuse.
Hello, fellow Ohioan! Someone tell me if Trump holds a rally here any time soon, I've never been to one (I used to be a hater, until I grew up & opened my damn eyes) and would love to try and go!!
So glad to have you on board! You just missed one this past July/August, so it will probably be a while, but I have no doubt that if/when he returns to Ohio, you'll probably see it posted all over this board, so just keep your eyes open. :)
The last rally he held was near the Cleveland area, which was the wrong end of the state for me. I'm hoping that next time he picks somewhere closer to the Columbus area.
Actually we've got a pretty good legislature. I think it's literally just DeWine we need to get rid of. He'll be primaried for sure. I'm hoping Joe Blystone gets more traction in the big blue counties. I volunteered for his campaign and right now I've got a request in with my pastor to hopefully have him speak at our church. It's pretty big so I'm thinking that would be great exposure.
Since you are being critical. Its worth pointing out that typos and grammatical errors is not appropriately referred to as "badly written". The correct terminology would be "poorly or insufficiently edited"
Well, maybe both... Trump has been saying it for the last year at the end of each rally. I think he knows how this is gonna end. And I think it's gonna be a win for the good guys!
I agree. One by one. If they ever come for me before we prevail, those commie bastards will quickly find out i was the wrong one. Im tired of allthis shit. My finger's getting mighty itchy.
That’s absolutely crazy he used that verbiage. Also

I need to know this. When you read aloud in grade school was it slow and painful? Difficulty pronouncing maybe?
That's me for sure. My brain is already processing words well beyond the ones my mouth want to speak

I grew up in a foster family. was the Alex P. Keaton in my Democrat family. They supported Roosevelt, Truman and Kennedy.
Then I meet my biological parents. Meet my siblings.
Conservatives…All of us.

What you describe is exactly what happened to me. 11 years for me.
So my father in law had Fox News on yesterday and not only did they cover this story, but they actually played the clip of Jim Jordan saying “Your memo, Mr. Attorney General, is the last straw. I think it is the catalyst for a Great Awakening that is just getting started.” I was shocked!
Apologies for hijacking, Mr Turtle, but this needed to be said.
Jim Jordan is bought and paid for by Google.
https://youtu.be/pgzE1UBBs8Q
I think he is using the GAW reference to get reelected.
What happened to "No outside comms?" Jim saying this is no different from you or me saying it. Use your heads, good people!
Uh...

I was there too. I didnt see him. I met Joe Blystone there. Praying the people elect him.
We just need to get rid of the dewine regime.

exactly^ the true Patriots are inspiring. love going to the rallies to see them in person🇺🇸
Hollywood can f*ck off.
Obligatory "He Said It" meme.
Keep at it Jim! We are winning!
In Case You Missed It: Rep. Jim Jordan DESTROYS AG Garland at House Hearing: “Tyranny Is When The People Fear The Government” https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/10/case-missed-rep-jim-jordan-destroys-ag-garland-house-hearing-tyranny-people-fear-government/
Interesting article but badly written. I see three typos and a grammatical error and I wasn't even looking.
Gateway Pundit has tons of typos all the time. I'd still rather read them than MSM with perfectly-written lies.
Since you are being critical. Its worth pointing out that typos and grammatical errors is not appropriately referred to as "badly written". The correct terminology would be "poorly or insufficiently edited"
ha ha ha ha that's awesome.
And the best is yet to come!
Is it hopium or just a winning attitude? : )
Well, maybe both... Trump has been saying it for the last year at the end of each rally. I think he knows how this is gonna end. And I think it's gonna be a win for the good guys!
What memo was Jordan referencing?? Thank you.
The one warning about parents at school board meetings being domestic terrorists
Here is a good summary of Jordan's statements about the "memo": https://nypost.com/2021/10/21/ag-merrick-garland-to-testify-before-house-judiciary-committee/
How did the corporate media complex spin Jordan's comment?
I'd imagine like: Jim Jordan openly calling rebellion against government.
Probably
Thank God for real representatives like Jim Jordan. He is working for us all.
How about, hey garland, we've got a rope for people like you.
Interesting.
I watched that, and smiled when Jordan said that. More and more truth comes out!
Gym Jordan....LMFAO
I LOVE Jim Jordan!
I agree. One by one. If they ever come for me before we prevail, those commie bastards will quickly find out i was the wrong one. Im tired of allthis shit. My finger's getting mighty itchy.
