MY TWO CENTS WORTH: December 2023

What's wrong with this picture?

Those who protested Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court in 2018 had their charges dropped, or were ordered to pay fines as small as $50. Two years later, the rioters who tried to burn down the federal courthouse in Portland, Ore. with federal agents inside were let off with no criminal record, in exchange for community service and avoiding trouble for a short time.

Yet hundreds of non-violent protesters associated with January 6th have been sent to prison.

Are you a "Liberal" or a "Conservative"?

If a conservative doesn't like guns, he doesn't buy one. If a liberal doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.

If a conservative is a vegetarian, he doesn't eat meat. If a liberal is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned.

If a conservative is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation. A liberal wonders who is going to take care of him.

If a conservative doesn't like a talk show host, he switches channels. Liberals demand that those they don't like be shut down.

If a conservative is a non-believer, he doesn't go to church. A liberal non-believer wants any mention of God and Jesus silenced.

If a conservative decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it. A liberal demands that the rest of us pay for his.
