We have Patriots or Communists at this point, no real in between.
The Communists are the lions born in the circus... caged, neglected, abused, but always fed and praised for doing their tricks for their masters. They fear the freedom of the open jungle, and cling to their cage... Or worse, genuinely like their cage, and think their masters benevolent.
Patriots are the lions who have seen beyond the cage bars and the circus tent, seen into the open jungle, and crave that freedom, doing everything possible to attain it.
Some of the caged lions may come to love the open jungle once freed.
Others may truly love their cage, demand to keep it, and demand the jungle of America remain caged.
America will be caged no more.
Those lions who despise America, which once freed, will return to being the sole open jungle in this entire world... Are always welcome to seek a new cage elsewhere. They have literally every other nation on God's green earth to choose from.
Describing the world as entirely black or white, good or evil, Us vs. Them is a common trope on this board. As if the universe is a simple action movie.
I don't know what your experience with life has been, but mine has been quite the opposite. The world is nuanced, complex, and intricate shades of grey. Some good people have done bad things, some bad people have done good things.
Although i agree with you, and i believe most people are about 5% left or right of center, i do not think that is what Cab93 was saying. 'Freedom' from RULERS/communists has nothing to do with religion. That is why the US. has the separation of church and state. "Us vs. Them" is exactly what the liberal/communists ARE doing Now so it is being forced on Us.
Ignore the religion example, I'll delete it.
My point still stands, I'm saying that is not as simple as "if they disagree with me, they are communists that are trying to oppress me".
There are plenty of things that I disagree with here, but I come to check things out because it's interesting to look at differing opinions.
I understand your point. What we have been through and seen over the last 2 years though make that point irrelevant. We have been forced into a black/white, good/evil, awake/woke....world. The agenda,evidence, names... are there and ignoring it does not make all that go away. We should be open to new information but from what we know now, we should be able to decide which side we are on.
Of course it is not simple, but it is also very obvious when 'They' are trying to destroy Rights and freedom and that Is black and white, not grey. I am never for censorship because i want to know what 'they' are thinking.
Good vs. evil has always been the struggle. Those two categories, with the addition of those that choose to remain neutral are the only sides to choose from. Any variance of that is strickly the observation and opinion of the person making the statement. No matter how complex anyone wants to make it, it simply is what it is.
