This is not my parents Democratic party. Yes, both my parents were die-hard Democrats their entire lives and if they were alive today to see what the “Party of FDR” has turned into, well, it would probably kill them. Everyday I see more evidence that at least some of these people are just plain crazy. It’s not just all the violence in the streets (yes, Antifa and BLM are far left-wing organizations) but also the rhetoric coming from some in their leadership around the country.

I think that at one time or another, everyone of us say something that is in the heat of the moment. It’s human nature. To come back later and say it wasn’t really meant, at least not in that way, is to me too little, too late because at the time, it was clearly meant exactly the way it was spoken. Although I try not to let emotion override reason, it happens – a little more rarely as I’ve gotten older – but it still occurs. I’m pretty sure that I’ve never disliked anyone to an extent where even in that moment, I’ve wished ill on that person – some harm to befall them.

I was just looking through my blog drafts. I have so many yet finished. Sometimes, I begin a post and then lose why I am even writing. Yes, it happens.

I could easily continue to write about the same old thing – atheism – but that really doesn’t interest me much nowadays. What is going on with atheism that hasn’t gone on for the past decades? Nothing. The names have changed, but that’s about it.
Why are we insistent in politicizing sports events? I’m a soccer fan and it annoys me to no end that these teams in the U.S. and around the world virtue signal by wearing warm-ups with “Black Lives Matter” emblazoned on them and then before the match begins, everyone, players, coaches, staff, kneel. It’s disgusting and fans don’t care for it.
Well, that didn’t take long. What mean is that the media blaming the riots on Minneapolis and other cities on “white supremacists”. No really. It seems be the go-to for media during the Trump Era because as everyone knows, Trump is a Nazi. All anyone as to do though is look at some of the video footage of those creating havoc, whether it’s in Minnesota, Georgia, Texas, California, or Colorado (among many). What do we see? People wearing black, with backpacks, wearing masks, carrying weaponry to destroy businesses. What profile does that fit? Oh, yeah, Antifa.
