Why You Should Come Out of the Closet
With Your Conservative Values

Original Article

Posted By: Imright, 12/7/2021 11:14:55 PM

I received a phone call on my radio show from a man who said, “Dennis, I’m a gay conservative actor in Hollywood, and it is far easier to come out of the closet as gay than as a conservative.”That call was in the 1980s.While the current cancel culture—the firing, humiliation, disparagement, and smearing—of conservatives is exponentially worse today than 30 years ago, it is not new.As a result, the great majority of Americans who are conservative—that is, about half the country—hide their true beliefs. They fear saying anything that differs with the Left. This would include such reprehensible sentiments as:With all its flaws, America is the finest country ever made.

This conservative does not hid her true beliefs. I don't cosign the craziness of the left even though almost everyone around me does. I constantly think of the scripture about the blind leading the blind; it simply doesn't work, and that's common sense wisdom. I am unapologetically conservative. I'm unapologetically God's. The left has nothing to offer me; I categorically reject their religion of self.

One of my best friends down in Iowa where we lived for 12 years asked what I thought about the trial. I told him and he was shocked to hear my view! I thought ugh oh…he’s in a left wing echo chamber and doesn’t know it! Oh well…

I haven't ever completely hidden by beliefs but I have been careful at times shutting the hell up while others spouted off leftist drivel in my presence under the assumption that everybody is on board. They didn't think they were around a conservative because they didn't see any of the behavior out of me or other conservatives they had been led to believe characterized us. They really don't know we're all around them and believe that if we were, they'd know it. I really do need to keep a list of all the articles written by lefties who dared venture behind the Carhart curtain and expressed their utter amazement that they weren't roasted on a spit and in fact were treated with kindness. I had for decades been tied to family needs that relied on my income, without taking the chance of a significant pay cut, that also eliminated my ability to get the hell out of looney land. I have been out of the big corporate world for about eight years now and it has been wonderful.

I am extremely comfortable with my conservative beliefs and I'm more than willing to share them when asked. I DO forewarn inquisitors they may not like what they're about to hear. My conservatism is pretty simple: less government or at least a minimum involvement of government in my life, faithful adherence to the Constitution, the right to self defense as presented by the 2nd Amendment. Federal involvement should only be at the level of national defense, safe control of the national airspace and interstate commerce. Everything else should be decided at the state level by the states. I'm blessed that my family and I happen to live in a fairly-conservative state (aside from the 'progressiveness' of the two major cities in the Bluegrass (Louisville and Lexington) and what is probably the most conservative and Republican of all 120 counties in Kentucky (Oldham.) I'm also blessed with who I think is the best Congressman representing my interests (Rep. Thomas Massie, an MIT electrical engineer.)

Conservatives today are marginalized by the same people who made their careers marginalizing other humans for 200 years. When you stand up to a Leftist, you're standing up against historic Slavers, Nazis and Racists. Be proud to not be one of them.

Mr Prager gave a list of spoken conservative values. He made a mistake on one. He said: "A person’s color is the least important thing about them." The particular sentence is either singular or plural. Considering that the word "person" is singular, the word "them" is out of place and should be "him." That's the way it reads in almost all languages on the planet.

People want to argue. I want to converse. Even in this salon, offer a different point or disagree with the orthodoxy by a degree or two, and you get namecalling, even calls for ostracization as a troll or such from those who have all the answers. I've never seen anyone consider another view in the midst of an argument. I've never seen namecalling work towards change, either. Conservatives "conserve", few lead.

I just want for America, as founded, to survive this ongoing political civil war. However, when out, shucking and jiving with folks on the topic of politics, I express how I see things. It's easy. All one has to do is speak up. It's why we have mouths.

“The Biden administration should be charged with murder,” Rep.

President Joe Biden is hardly meeting the press as his administration is beset by bad news, particularly as compared to his immediate predecessors.Even though the liberal corporate media is favorably inclined toward Biden and his party, the lack of access to what Instapundit’s Glenn Reynolds often describes as “Democrat operatives with bylines” gives even more credence to the perception that the POTUS is disproportionately stage-managed by his far-left handlers.“Reporters scored 18 media interviews with Biden by the start of the month, a small sliver of the 89 conducted by former President Donald Trump and the 141 by former President Barack Obama at the same point in their presidencies,

Former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton choked up in a video released Wednesday as she read portions of the speech she would have given had she won the 2016 election. The video of her speech comes from her new talk on the power of resilience for MasterClass, a streaming platform featuring stories from people sharing what they have learned with others. Clinton says in the video that she has never shared her speech with anyone or even read it out loud. However, she says her speech helps to encapsulate who she is and what she believes in, according to TODAY .

Does Justice Sonia Sotomayor even read the briefs in cases before the Supreme Court? I ask because the cases don't come any bigger than Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, which addresses Mississippi's limit on abortion after 15 weeks. The Court is being asked to overturn the 1973 decision in Roe v. Wade and 1992 decision in Planned Parenthood v. Casey. I joined two other female physicians (a neonatologist and an obstetrician) in an amicus brief detailing advances in fetal science that have happened since 1973. During oral arguments, Justice Sotomayor displayed abysmal ignorance of the most basic scientific and medical facts about developing human life.

With a massive build of Russian troops near Ukraine’s border, Russia’s Vladimir Putin is indicating a willingness to risk a military conflict, but analysts say while the threat is serious, an invasion is not certain. The threat of an invasion will be the central subject of President Biden’s video call with Putin on Tuesday. Biden is expected to warn of dire consequences should Russia follow through with a military offensive, while Putin is expected to reiterate his ultimatum that NATO should not allow Ukraine to join its military alliance. The outcome of the video call could have major implications as Putin weighs the potential costs of a full-fledged invasion of Ukraine.

Hillary Clinton lost, and now she needs to move on from the 2016 election. I’m not trying to be cruel or twist the knife. I mean this with all sincerity. She just needs to move on for her own good. The constant reliving of her failed campaign against former President Donald Trump is unhealthy. She’s clearly still upset about it. She’s clearly still angry. But she’ll never recover from her defeat so long as she continues to wallow in it, relentlessly poring over every excruciating detail. She’ll certainly never recover if she continues in both word and deed to define herself by her failed campaign.

Some of California's largest school districts are trying an unconventional tactic to help students re-engage in school after distance learning and boost their chances of acceptance into the state's public colleges: by dropping D and F grades. Los Angeles Unified [snip] and other districts are phasing out grades below a C for high school students. The idea is to encourage students to learn the course material and not be derailed by a low grade that could potentially disqualify them from admission to the University of California and California State University.

The poll, the first under the Journal's new polling operation led by Republican pollster Tony Fabrizio, who worked for the Trump campaign in 2020, and Democratic pollster John Anzalone, who worked for Biden, surveyed 1,500 registered voters on their views of Biden and the state of the country from November 16 to 22.
