Geeze. I’m new to this forum and an outsider (damn Yankee) but immediately felt a connection with many on here.
Our move to NC has been a big change in our lives with a bit of the uncertainty of trying to figure out how things are different. There has been some tongue-in-cheek kidding on both sides but the guys are on the most part — great…
I came from the New Hampshire and had to deal with narrow minded liberals from Massachusetts daily that subtly turn a discussion into an attack when they run into an opinion that is different than theirs. They expect us are “to follow the party line” and if we don’t it is time to attack. Your echo chamber comment with closed mind inference is a typical untra-liberal approach.
liberalism is a mental disorder that is worse than the Covid pandemic. Something in the liberals brain is cross wired and usually shows up as hate that bubbles to the surface with Trump. (There I said it) I don’t like everything Trump did or stands for but he did more for this country in 4 years than others have done in their lifetimes.
Hate for Trump, cheating, and lying got Biden in office, not Biden’s ability or his political agenda. In fact his political agenda has trashed my IRAs, sent energy costs skyrocketing, contributed to empty shelves in grocery stores, put the world on the edge of another world war because he doesn’t have the balls to take a stand, and given China a place in our government. “Build Back Better” is nothing but bullshit… ”Make America Great Again” and “Keep America Great” is what we need.
So if you want to discuss things do it with facts. Don’t claim that people that disagree with you have closed minds.
To keep it simple, let’s start with energy costs…
How was shutting down the pipeline, limiting fracking, tightening up environmental guidelines, telling coal miners that they need to become computer programmers, supporting Europe getting natural gas/oil from Russia, going to “Build Back Better” when everything has gone the opposite way in the last year?
PS Fact — gasoline prices up about a dollar a gallon ($2.00 to $3.00) for a 50% increase.
this has contributed to empty shelves in the grocery stores and my IRAs dropping 25% but let’s just focus on the cost of energy for now….
