Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) See? There is still justice in America. – If you were as outraged last year by the absurdly-light 30-day sentence handed down to the attacker of Senator Rand Paul, well, take heart: That case was remanded back to the federal district court that issued it yesterday by the 6th Circuit Court of appeals. The 6th Circuit ruled that the district judge lacked a “compelling justification” for the light sentence for the commission of an assault on a member of congress so brutal that Sen. Paul is still trying to recover fully from it.
This is what real America – as opposed to social media/conventional media perpetual outrage America – really looks like:
Those of us who pay close attention to the news and are active on social media tend to forget that. The merchants of perpetual outrage at places like CNN, the New York Times, Facebook and Twitter want you all to believe that America is this horrible place where everyone hates everyone else and where every day in every city is just another confrontation between Antifa terrorists and the Proud Boys agitators. Conventional media and social media outlets want you to believe that that is the world you all live in because that belief generates traffic to their websites and viewers to their TV channels.
That’s the America they’re all trying to create.
But real America is different, and the real America perseveres.
The real America is a place in which my wife and I could take our entire three-generation family to spend a week in New York City last December and never experience anything but lovely, pleasant interactions with people of all races, colors, religions and creeds in crowded places all over the city.
The real America is the place where you go to your grandkids’ elementary school for Grandparents’ Lunch day, and spend an hour watching hundreds of children of all races, economic standing and upbringings and dozens of teachers and school administrators do nothing but smile, laugh and dine with one another.
The real America is the place where you go to the local Wal-Mart or Target or grocery store and don’t for a moment notice or care what the race or political leanings of the people shopping and working there happens to be.
The real America is the place where tens of millions of people get up every morning and go to work and engage in all manner of collaborative efforts with people from all manner of backgrounds and ages and get real stuff done that generates economic growth and improves our society. And then they get a group of those same people together to go grab a beer when they’re done working.
The real America is the place where tens of millions of people still get up on the Sabbath and go to churches, synagogues and mosques in thousands of cities in all 50 states.
The real America is the place where millions of little kids like the two in that video run up and hug each other and express real, genuine love because that is their natural behavior. The people at ABC who posted that video on Twitter yesterday want you to think that is a rare thing, but it’s something you can see everywhere in America every day if you just pay attention.
The perpetual outrage and hate thrown at us every day by the conventional media and social media mobs are learned behaviors, not our natural state.
The real America is the place in which tens of millions of ordinary, every day people of all religions, all races, all colors, all social standings and all backgrounds refuse to learn those behaviors.
That real America drives the perpetual outrage mob nuts. Keep it up.
That is all.
All I get is an infomercial to become a billionaire
I would like to become a billionaire. Is it painful?
Too many people are making just enough money to get by. The will respond positively to the siren call of socialism when Bill Clinton or the Kenyan are packaged properly.
Just imagine if the piece of Obama had attacked a Rat senator....
A millionaire seems to be easy to attain these days.
All you have to do is be a good racist, vote Democrat and badmouth our President.
I like the line about Walmart and Kmart social interactions. There was actually a sociological paper done on the real America as seen by social interactions at Wawa’s. Everyone was nice to each other, held the doors open for various social and economic groups, no one was being a jerk or intentionally offensive.
Which really mirrors pretty much every single time I have ever been in a Wawa’s. 7-11s, not so much.
Thanks, I needed that.
The media certainly preaches a different view of America, and for many of us it’s tiring to hear the constant funeral dirge of doom and gloom. I’m not sucked into that point of view (it’s not my reality) but it gets tiring to hear.
Quite different from what I see online.... here. d;^)
This is the 10-point creed of what this article refers to as “Proud Boys agitators”, as though they are on a moral par with Antifa:
Minimal Government
Maximum Freedom
Anti-Political Correctness
Anti-Drug War
Closed Borders
Anti-Racial Guilt
Anti-Racism
Pro-Free Speech (1st Amendment)
Pro-Gun Rights (2nd Amendment)
Glorifying the Entrepreneur
Venerating the Housewife
Reinstating a Spirit of Western Chauvinism
Which point or points makes them “agitators”?
Not really. First, get a billion dollars...
Proud Boys are “agitators” just like I am an “agitator” for wearing an American flag shirt.
Proud Boys are “agitators” just like I am an “agitator” for standing up for the flag at a ball game.
Proud Boys are “agitators” just like I am an “agitator” for wearing my Rush Limbaugh “Stand Up For Betsy Ross” flag shirt.
Proud Boys are “agitators” just like I am an “agitator” for expecting not to be pummeled to a pulp when I attend a conservative rally of any kind....
….and if you think the “Real America” has to be devoid of “agitators” like the Proud Boys, you are a fool. A damned fool.
The real America sounds like
The real uk, Singapore, Argenina, Russia, Indonesia
Etc
Want to know what the real America is, just wait until they count the Votes on Election Day.
Apparently the real America is a place where half the Voting Population thinks the other half owes them a living.
“I was at my local favorite gun store last weekend and it was like a multi racial family reunion.”
Same thing here. The local range is one of the most multi cultural places I know. Even had a gay couple in one CCW class.
This is frequently the case. But who should we believe, the media/politicians or our lying eyes?
FWIW, I would estimate that 40% of the people shooting at my local ranges nowadays are female. Forty years ago, it was rare to see any woman - other than a wife or girlfriend who obviously wished to be elsewhere - in a gun store or on a range.
