Conservatives are lazy. Yup, that’s right.
We say liberals are lazy; they want everything handed to them on someone else’s (often a conservative’s) sweat. That’s often true but I’m not talking about the workforce.
Yes, in those terms conservatives may be more productive than liberals. But when it comes to actually putting our values into action we are as lazy and whiney as the day is long.
We sit around our tables and on our barstools commiserating about double standards but we do nothing. We complain in whispers to likeminded parents about Marxist school curriculums and activities but never speak up.
We hear sermons in Church (those who go) that are sometimes social justice messages rather then hard truths. Nobody says a word.
Many of us hold jobs which the left will try to take when they cannot properly silence us. We all have to make a living so by no means am I calling for anyone to put their careers on the line; this blog is anonymous for a reason.
But there are things we can do at least quietly to contribute to our cause. It doesn’t have to grab a headline.
It could be exercising your constitutional right to speak at your local town or school board meeting. It could be respectfully questioning a priest or preacher after service for his message; the Church is as much yours at it is his (if it’s a her find a new church).
It could be praying outside Planned Parenthood for God to crumble that concentration camp. It could be attending the March For Life.
You don’t have to carry a sign or chant. Just add your energy. If you get let go for these types of things, good chance there is some legal recourse.
That energy and just getting around likeminded people (not that we all have to agree on everything) or those at least open to your free speech creates a good feeling that both you and others are not alone.
In my last article (I know it’s been a while: illness and Christmas) I wrote about Mike Cernovich’s coming film, Hoaxed. Afterward he held a second New York A Night for Freedom event.
This one was more low key than last year. Last year I had a good time but attended with a date.
I spent the time talking almost exclusively to her rather than mingling. This year my current girlfriend had plans so I went alone.
Not always easy but I had a better time, not because my girlfriend wasn’t there but because I was forced to socialize.
Admittedly I have developed this cocky attitude over the years where I tend to think if I don’t know you, I don’t want to know you. That’s a recipe for stagnation and deep down a defense mechanism. Many others were in my exact shoes.
Mike and those who attended were very welcoming. I got to bounce ideas and have a few laughs with people I wouldn’t meet staring at Fox News and getting pissed.
The MSM will tell you that Cernovich and his audience are alt-right white boys. Fake news! It was a diverse group racially and gender-wise.
Various ages were in attendance. The majority were MAGA people but some were non-political.
The one thing everyone had in common was their love for free speech. And privacy is completely respected if you want/need it. It’s not a political rally.
So, if you feel like you want to get more involved in what’s going on today but can’t find an avenue, a Cernovich event is a great place to start.
You will leave more fulfilled than you will complaining on a bar stool in front of a football game. Talk soon.

PS: Mr. President, talking to your base has told me that you are in big trouble if you don’t stop surrounding yourself with Bush GOP people who hate you. Additionally, stop tweeting about being treated unfairly and do something about the abuse your supporters are subject to (from big tech, universities, ANTIFA, etc.). Most of all, keep those heels dug in on the wall no matter how long it takes or what the globalists and their media thugs say. Oh, and pardoning General Flynn would show that it actually pays to support you.
PPS: People, big pet peeve of mine: It’s Happy New Year, not Happy New Years. Also, after about a week knock that s**t off altogether. What the hell is so happy about the dead of winter unless you live in a warm climate?
