Opinion by Samuel Strait I've often wondered over the last couple of decades, what would it take for Americans to wake up and stop being so polite around the fools on the left. I would think that after decades of clear failure on the part of "Big Government" and socialist wannabe fantasies that ordinary people in the US would be more than tired of the stupid, deluded people that continue to serenade us with their malicious nonsense. Is it time to take off the gloves and misplaced kindness and call it what it is? We have smiled and tolerated it for far too long. Time to get real. The next time some idiot in a dress claiming to be "Clarrisa" comes looking for directions to the nearest gay bar, it is time to inform the weirdo that he cannot menstruate or give birth and he should perhaps be satisfied with being simply a "male". A woman generally cannot father a child nor has the strength of a male, that's science sorry to break the news to all the LGBQT whatevers out there. Time to face the unavoidable truth and I'm not sorry to be telling this basic fact of life to all those that live this nonsense. As we go down the list of Liberal/Progressive wishful thinking, race hustling, climate change, Covid mandates, open borders, free college tuition, defund the police, cancel culture, CRT, exploding levels of crime, and faux white supremacy, it is time to stop being polite to the weirdos, misfits, and losers who 's limp wristed pronouncements such as you are a racist, homophobic or islamophobic. "My body, My choice." "Black Lives Matter." "Defund the Police." "You are a climate change denier." Or any of a hundred other Lefty chants. Over the past several decades we have been too nice to those that are clueless robots whose garbage philosophies have taken the freest people that ever lived and converted them to a manipulated herd of sheep. Time to wake up America and do something about how badly America has deteriorated. What will it take for good men and women to stand up and reverse the division, fear, and propaganda that has become the daily diet of people in this Country. We have already seen the decline in faith for governments, the media, the medical profession, and the educational community over the past few years. Recently the citizens of this Country and others have begun the arduous process of finding its way back home. History has clearly shown that leftist policies are clearly doomed to fail over the course of time. We have countless examples of this failure, often with devastating results. Our own State of California is but the most recent example of this failure of the Progressive Left. Hard to Miss… We as a Country, a State, and even here at the local level have let politeness prevent constructive change. It is said that even "Good Men and Women" can be corrupted by power in a very short time. The last couple of years during the Corona Virus Pandemic have clearly shown this to be the case. Has the time come where, finally, ordinary citizens have had enough? Are there signs of an awakening populous that will not stand for any more of the authoritarian class of politicians, news media, and the arrogance of the wine soaked, limp wristed, and propagandized word hippos? Has common sense overtaken enough people in this Country that no longer hold bated breath over the lies of the "expert class" who wag their collective fingers in one too many faces to be believed any longer? I suppose time will tell. Fortunately Liberal/Progressive/Socialist thinking has a very short shelf life. Once the facade begins to crumble and reveal the rot within, those that promote this beast should pay a steep price for years of depredation in this Country….. I have had more than enough, have you as well?
