Welcome

Welcome to my inner sanctum. I am, as my cousin LuAnn so nicely put it, a "born again, founding fathers, conservative." I am opinionated and you are apt to find anything on this page.

I would like to hear from you: hendroni@earthlink.net

My viewpoint!

I recently “unfriended” a person on Facebook who I never should have “friended” in the first place.  I thought, after so many years, this person might have changed but I was wrong.  In the aftermath of this “unfriending” I was set upon by several people (all liberals) in his defense, and accused of not wanting to listen to anyone who has a different viewpoint.  I was told that I needed to “agree to disagree.”  First of all, I will never “agree to disagree.”  That is a solution dreamed up by liberals who have run out of viable arguments.  When you can’t defend your position any longer, agree to disagree.  What a joke!

There are at least, two problems with the argument that I don’t like to hear differing viewpoints.  Firstly, the person who was “unfriended” never had a viewpoint, he was just a criticizer.  He never, to my knowledge, ever posted a viewpoint of his own, just negatively commented on the postings of others.  Secondly, and more importantly, these liberal “thinkers,” and I use the term loosely, have overlooked what their mindset has constantly overlooked for more years than I like to think about, and that is the law of reciprocal treatment.  If they have the right of “Free Speech” then I have the right of “Free Listening.”

This might seem comical at first, but it is the same liberal attitude that jumps to the defense of criminals but does not consider the rights of the victim.  It is this one-sided viewpoint that has confiscated the rights of citizens in the defense of endangered animals, the rights of property owners against abusive tenants, and the rights of ordinary citizens against the injustice of “minority quotas”;  The list goes on and on.

While we are at it, lets call a spade a spade.  Lets call liberalism what it really is, Communism at its finest.  In case you liberals out there haven’t heard, Communism died several years ago in the Soviet Union and if you don’t open your eyes soon, it will be reincarnated right here in the United States of America.  Do you really want to try it again?  There’s a “viewpoint” for ya.
