Hiya, AB! Wow--another election snatched away as we watched.

The successful 2024 conservative candidates will need to stop attacking other conservatives, stop complaining about the past and start offering detailed solutions to fix the growing financial and societal decay crises.

Nancy Pelosi and a host of liberal clucks are making the rounds to gloat today.

In case anyone missed it yesterday, a Penske truck left the Maricopa County Election Office, and drove to Runbeck Election Services. Their stated mission is the Democrat's 2022 mantra heard nonstop last week:

To Defend Democracy

Runbeck Election Services boasts a spider web spanning 37% of voters. This company provides mail-in ballots nationwide. Pay attention.

I think us old folks have to make room for the youngins who are just different.

Us Boomers celebrated civil rights in the classic sense. Blacks should not be denied the same rights as whites. that simple. I remember talking to my grandpa about this issue. He was of the firm belief that whites were inherently superior to blacks. Most people of his generation either believed that or suspected that, as that was what they were told all their lives.

Our generation fixed this prejudiced and made us equal. ML King put the issue before us as Christians. Who is our brother? Well, Jesus explained that in the story about the Samaritan, no? A Christian has to defer to God. “Love thy neighbor.” Blacks, especially here in the South, unlike so much of the North and West, are neighbors.

Good credit for this goes to the Republican party, BTW, not the democrats. LBJ had his political reasons to support civil rights, but it wasn’t a philosophy of justice. This is why the Southern white democrat disappeared. LBJs party abandoned them. They did not become Republicans overnight. They simply died off. The vast majority of the new Southern Republican party were Boomers.

Now equal rights, a noble cause, has been supplanted with equity, which is socialism. No one is guaranteed a successful life. In fact, we all die in the end. We should fight equity on the grounds that it is unjust.

The younger kids see homosexuals in the same light. They do not understand our distaste for gays. The transgenders have picked up this mantle and whether we like it or not, they don’t support us politically on this issue. Are equal rights for homosexuals the same as celebrating homosexuality? No. We can support the first but not the latter. The democrats conflate the two.

Abortion. I think that it is the killing—murder—of a child. But the young kids want it legal. I don’t what else to say. How can we compromise on murder?

Other issues?

Student loan forgiveness. We should have appealed to young kids who are not upper class and have to buy tools and work the trades, from hairdresser to carpenter. We failed to focus on getting them out to vote, while the democrats did a good job getting the upper-class snots not only bailed out, but fired up to vote for it. Thing is, there are literally far more poorer kids then rich. How did they vote, or even did they?
