When Janet He/She Napolitano proclaimed years ago that the biggest threat to the homeland was right-wing extremists, including returning veterans, I proudly admitted that I was an approved, right-wing extremist. Even got a card from the Liberty Counsel proclaiming me as such.
I have for years judged my position on issues and people with a not-so-formalized experiment with the media and politicians.
If the leading politicians and the Leftist media are on-board with something, then I know the opposite position or point of view is the acceptable one for me.
My rule: If everybody else is doing it, don't. If everybody else is saying it, say the opposite. It's worked just fine for my moral compass for years because the opposition doesn't even have a moral compass.
Vote for Trump/Pence 2016 and Make America Great Again.
Your take on life and its rules reminds of George C, Jerry’s friend. Do the opposite of what you’ve always done. This certainly changed his life around.
