Don't Let the SOBs Get You Down
American Thinker ^ | 21 Nov, 2021 | J.B. Shurk

Posted on 11/21/2021 4:08:30 AM PST by MtnClimber

Finding happiness in struggle is the most important struggle in life.

As with anybody who has ever shared an opinion not sanctioned by our leftist ruling class, I often come across some mind-controlled foot soldier for Marxism online, trashing something I've written and using the same limited vocabulary of vulgarities to tell me why I should do something profane to myself. Oh, well! Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.

Sometimes I get called a "damn hillbilly," and I think, "Well, thank you." If Americans — wherever they now live — could reach deep down inside themselves to find a little leftover hillbilly from a previous generation, then America as a country would find the self-resilience, tenacity, and grit to survive with gusto any bad times that might be ahead.

Unlike the political left, I choose free speech over the government's ever-expanding war on "hate speech" and the inevitable mental slavery such criminalization of thoughts and words always brings. That's how tyranny thrives. First, certain language is labeled blasphemous and forbidden by polite society because it "triggers" listeners. Then censorship is justified in order to banish potentially harmful "triggering." Then the list of "triggering" offenses expands until every utterance is circumscribed. And finally, only one government-enforced belief system remains because there are no longer contrary yet permissible points of view.

Just remember, they want you to be miserable. It is better to have faith in God and don’t comply.

The Left's primary strategy is to demoralize you into giving up against them. Let their depravity only impassion your resolve.

I'd think it's "default mode" that most conservatives completely disregard @ssholes.

Hence our immediate dismissal of leftists and their ideology.

Your comment brings to mind .... Psalm 71

1 Alleluia
Praise the Lord, O my soul;
2 I will praise the Lord all my life;
I will sing praise to my God while I live.
3 Put not your trust in princes,
in man, in whom there is no salvation.
4 When his spirit departs he returns to his earth;
on that day his plans perish.

Yep, don’t worry... be happy. Just ignore it and it will go away.

Yep, don’t worry... be happy. Just ignore it and it will go away. I did not say ignore it, just don't be miserable and take pride in the side we are on in this battle between good and evil. I would offer this:

“In the end, you shall lose everything you hold of value in this world, your wealth, your possessions, your freedoms, your friends, your family, your youth, even your life itself. But before you surrender them, make those who try to take them from you pay an extreme price for every little scrap they grasp for.” – Source not known

“I did not say ignore it, just don’t be miserable and take pride in the side we are on in this battle between good and evil.”

And I was not directly pointing my comment at you personally for posting the article, just the concept in general coming from the author. Far too many being passive in wait for someone else to come save them rather than being assertive and proactive themselves. The best defense is a good offense.

We need to let it bother us and upset us, we need the drive to get off our butts and take assertive counteractive measures. While this concept of “Don’t let it bother you or get you down” sounds good, it is exactly what they want and take advantage of. They have been for years now and why we are in this situation to begin with.

I convey that message to friends and family from time to time, but often get the feeling I’m wasting my breath.
