May each of you have the heart to conceive, the understanding to direct, and the hand to execute works that will leave the world a little better for your having been here. -- Ronald Reagan

My Big Problem with Pete Buttigieg


Leftist radical Pete Buttigieg, a minor political player from a minor town weighs in on the attack by Iran on the oil tankers. He said Trump lacks credibility, and there’s no real proof Iran did it. So he sides with Iran against the United States. Buttigieg is an anti-Christian bigot homosexual. Iran is a Muslim state, and Muslims murder homosexuals.

The US lets gays go about whatever they want. Won’t see any gays as mayor of any towns in Iran. Maybe enough murdered gays to populate a town.

Buttigieg lies about Christians, specifically Vice President Pence. Pence is super careful about even the perception of impropriety. Buttigieg attacked Pence, who has said only kind words about the untruthful mayor. He said, “That’s the thing that I wish the Mike Pence’s of the world would understand,”  (Pence opposes same-sex marriage). “That if you have a problem with who I am, your problem is not with me. Your quarrel, sir, is with my creator.”

Pence’s response was "I have my Christian values. My family and I have a view of marriage that's informed by our faith. And we stand by that. But that doesn't mean that we're critical of anyone else who has a different point of view." "I have my Christian values. My family and I have a view of marriage that's informed by our faith. And we stand by that. But that doesn't mean that we're critical of anyone else who has a different point of view." Pence has also said he’s had a great working relationship with Buttigieg and has worked very closely with him.  

Given the number of Christians in this country, well, probably not a good idea to attack them. This by a guy the claims he can unite people.

He is of course pro-abortion, pro-union, pro-LGBT, for the ‘green new deal’ though he’s done some back pedaling on that when it turned out to be so massively unpopular. He’s anti-second amendment, thinks climate change is a national security threat, wants every house in America to be a ‘net zero’ consumer of energy, and is for single payer health care. He is open borders, but its nuanced so people not paying close attention won’t think so.

He touts his overseas military service like it’s a brave thing he's done. He was there in Afghanistan, living a comfortable life, in the NATO coalition's Afghanistan Threat Finance Cell in Kabul. Mostly he was his bosses’ driver. He had to be armed doing that, so has a bunch of pictures of himself looking armed and manly. He spent seven months there (some say nine).  In ‘Nam we called these guys Rear Echelon Mother F**kers (REMF’s). He was an accountant and driver. Worthless in combat. A lot of  REMF’s were good at disrespecting those of us in the field.

So with him supporting the New Green Deal, single payer health care, being an anti-Christian bigot (while claiming to be a Christian no less) and using a bogus military profile, this guy is as phony as a three dollar bill. My disgust with him started when I found out he was misrepresenting himself at the beginning and changed to the truth once he got on the political map.

What Has America Become? Repost of Letter Circulating on the Internet

Editor,

Has America become the land of special interest and home of the double standard?

Lets see: if we lie to the Congress, it's a felony and if the Congress lies to us its just politics; if we dislike a black person, we're racist and if a black person dislikes whites, its their 1st Amendment right; the government spends millions to rehabilitate criminals and they do almost nothing for the victims; in public schools you can teach that homosexuality is OK, but you better not use the word God in the process; you can kill an unborn child, but it is wrong to execute a mass murderer; we don't burn books in America, we now rewrite them; we got rid of communist and socialist threats by renaming them progressive; we are unable to close our border with Mexico, but have no problem protecting the 38th parallel in Korea; if you protest against President Obama's policies you're a terrorist, but if you burned an American flag or George Bush in effigy it was your 1st Amendment right.

You can have pornography on TV or the internet, but you better not put a nativity scene in a public park during Christmas; we have eliminated all criminals in America, they are now called sick people; we can use a human fetus for medical research, but it is wrong to use an animal.

We take money from those who work hard for it and give it to those who don't want to work; we all support the Constitution, but only when it supports our political ideology; we still have freedom of speech, but only if we are being politically correct; parenting has been replaced with Ritalin and video games; the land of opportunity is now the land of hand outs; the similarity between Hurricane Katrina and the gulf oil spill is that neither president did anything to help.

And how do we handle a major crisis today? The government appoints a committee to determine who's at fault, then threatens them, passes a law, raises our taxes; tells us the problem is solved so they can get back to their reelection campaign.

What has happened to the land of the free and home of the brave?
