GUESS WHO'S COMING TO DINNER

I have recently been wondering how it would be if I could invite a true, hard core liberal to dinner. Now mind you, this liberal would have to be brutally honest and deal with my questions truthfully. Already you can see my problem. What I would like to understand is just how any true American could believe the way they do. This column is speculation of what my questions would be.

Initially, I suspect the meal itself could be a problem. It would probably be fried chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy, and green beans cooked in bacon grease. Dessert would be banana pudding. That might be off-putting for some of the liberals I have seen on TV and out in public. Many of them appear a bit under-fed. Oh, and we may well say grace before our meal. That could create indigestion before a bite was taken.

So, on to the reason for the meeting. First, I wonder why do liberals hate America and her traditions? What is so wrong with patriotism? Why is the flag and our national anthem so offensive to them? One of our traditions is making certain that we have a strong, well equipped military. A military so strong as to discourage any attack from anybody. It is no accident that we are a free society. Our way of life has been earned by the blood and courage of our military. We remain free because of this country’s unfettered support of our military. Why is having a strong military so offensive to liberals? Very puzzling.

My next issue of inquiry has to do with responsibility. Why do liberals have a problem with individuals being responsible for themselves and their destiny? Oh, pass the gravy please. Traditional Americans believe if a person wants to live with another person of the same sex, they have every right to do so. Liberals seem to think that if that situation should exist, everyone should bless their choice and regard it as normal. Well, it’s not normal and no amount of whining is going to change that. That having been said, free Americans have the right to choose their own style of living. They do not have the right to expect me to bless their choice or bake them a cake for their wedding.

As Americans we have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. We have the right to travel as far as our legs, and talent will take us. We all have equal opportunity. We do not and have never had the right to an equal outcome. That is based on a number of factors, maybe even including luck. But regardless, our destiny is and should be in our own hands. There is no situation where all wealth is divided up and everyone is given an equal share. Even if that could happen, it would be just a matter of days before that wealth would return to the original holders anyway. Sorry, liberals, but success is based on initiative not government handout. So, how’s your chicken?

I would ask my dinner guest, why do you object to requiring voters to prove who they are before they vote? Traditional Americans like the idea. Is it because liberals know they could never win an honest election? Sure seems fishy that liberals are the only ones who find identity verification so offensive.

Before we tear into the banana pudding, there are just a few points that I want to make. Declaring yourself a sanctuary city, county, or state, is declaring that you refuse to obey the law. There is nothing noble about lawbreaking. And, California, there are only two genders of humans, male and female, and no amount of weenie whining is going to change that. And to the NFL. If you think traditional America is going to forgive you and look the other way, you are sadly mistaken. If you don’t like it here, see the last paragraph.

No, we are not perfect, but we are as close as I have seen. And one more great thing about being an American is, if you don’t like it, you can always leave. The door swings both ways.
