They should both become sterile too. Their progeny would be diseased.

“...I’d smugly listened while several other friends in heterosexual marriages...”


How about her friends in non-heterosexual “marriages”? Did they all vote for Warren too? It must be difficult to maintain political correctness 24/7. It can be so easy to slip up. It reminds me of the phase “pregnant people”.

The socialist elite want to prevent others from joining their ranks, ‘cause then they’d no longer BE elite!

My husband, I had thought, understood without me having to explain that Warren not only represented the promise of the country’s first female president, but also had a plan for all the issues that mattered to us, such as gun control and universal child care. “””

I am going to try & educate you on what you are willing to vote for...and to throttle other taxpayers with:

1. The first female President: IF you are only voting for Warren because of her gender-—SHAME on you.

Would you pick your dentist on the same standards?
The restaurant of your choice?
The salesperson of the new car you might buy?
A plumber?

2. Warren ‘has a plan”. That is the repetitive PLATITUDE she spouted for months. NO DETAILS-—Just parroting “I have a plan”. As an older person I want DETAILS. I am not going to vote for a ‘plan’ without more information. Best laid plans have a habit of not materializing after a Democrat gets elected. Also—her taxing plans were a disaster. Envy of a person with money isn’t a very nice trait. AND—’Taxing Accumulated Wealth’ is against the Constitution—and very specifically against.

3. She has a ‘plan’ for Gun control. Again-—details., please. I have guns. One for over 55 years. Never harmed a single person with it. Have friends & relatives who all have guns. Never harmed anyone, either. YOU may live where the cops can be there for assistance to you in a very short time-—but MANY of us live rural & don’t have that status. When you only have seconds to survive-—the cops are ONLY MINUTES AWAY. Talk to your local law enforcement persons about their estimated time of arrival at YOUR residence. It might surprise you. IF I got a deputy at my property in less than 20 minutes, I would throw them a Christmas party. Alot can happen when a person is being attacked—and 20 minutes or more puts us all in danger. My Dad & uncles all had guns-—NEVER hurt a single person & hunted every year. Classmates the same.

IF you are worried about kids in schools & people in malls getting shot up-—start SUPPORTING removing unstable persons from the general population. I NEVER heard of a gun shooting up people without an unstable person pulling the trigger & reloading. QUIT blaming the gun-—and start blaming yourself & your companions for NOT being willing to put unstable persons into places where they cannot cause trouble for ordinary persons. You are dancing on the head of a pin to say ‘they don’t deserve incarceration or mandatory controls.’ How many times after such an incident do we hear “He has had mental problems for years & he is fine, except when he DOES NOT take his medicine?” Put yourself at risk if you choose, but you DO NOT have the right to put me & others at risk over your Liberal views about guns & unstable persons.

4. UNIVERSAL CHILD CARE— This is a particular sore point with me. I DID not choose nor did I give you permission to have your kid-—why should I have to pay to hand you ‘Universal Child Care’???

MANY women in the USA NEVER had any kids. Why should they be forced to support YOUR child or children??? Should any of us be forced(taxed) to buy you a new car every 5 years? Buy you new curtains? Buy you a vacation in a nice resort? Pay for dental implants because that unstable person knocked all your teeth out?

Too many women have bought into the idea that ‘They CAN HAVE IT ALL’. Important & high powered job-—marriage—family—as many kids as they wish....and SUCCESS at all parts of this.

I have news for you-—YOU CANNOT HAVE IT ALL-—and you particularly cannot have others be taxed to pay for your UNIVERSAL CHILD CARE.

You can ‘feel abandonment’ all you want. I feel overwhelmed by the number of items that other persons want ME to pay for. STAY the Hell OUT of my bank account & tax bills. I already pay for schools I have never used.

I have owned 4 houses in my life—one was inherited. Property taxes on those homes add up to more years than I am alive & I am 80. Ownership of the homes overlapped, so I have paid property taxes for a total of 85 years, paying for 3 houses at one time.

Since most property taxes are about 50% towards school taxes & I have put NO kids into schools, I sure would like a refund of that 50% over 84 years of payments.

So quit trying to STEAL funds from others to pay for YOUR KID IN UNIVERSAL CHILD CARE. It is outright robbery.

You are part of the ‘entitlement’ attitude which isn’t doing this country a lick of good.

GROW THE HELL UP, please. It is overdue.

If the US Construction forbids tax on accumulated wealth, can’t property taxes be declared Unconstitutional??????

I love it when the left eats their own -— especially when they’re married to each other.

Regarding a refund for 50% of all those property taxes:

I GAVE THE RECORDS of every penny I paid. Have my tax records back to 1963. Bought first house in 1966. When I was 26. So-—not at 80, I have paid 85 years of taxes over 54 years.
