I honestly believe Cannon loves our country….that is to say our founding fathers and our founding documents.
Unlike that Russo-*** Sumela who wants it all destroyed.
I will be plain about this: I love humanity. I absolutely love humanity. And I love white people first, because I am one. Next is your northern Asians and after that your middle easterners.
I don't love "freedom," because I don't believe its a thing. I love DECENCY - which actually IS a thing.
I STAND for rights - because rights are a thing. But I also recognize what the Framers of this nation recognized: rights often must yield. For example: Your great great grand daddy settled a patch of ground in 1866 that was passed down to you. And now, that ground is needed for a hospital, or a freeway, or a sewer system, or a reservoir. For some important public use.
In my mind, as in the Framers' codified intentions, you can be made to part with your land against your will - fairly compensated, but not given a choice. So there goes freedom, right there. The Framers themselves anticipated taking it away in a crunch. I do not believe in a draft - but those who do certainly do not believe in freedom, either.
A man alone in the woods is not free. He is at the mercy of nature. Freedom can only be had in the context of a society, and society must be able to encroach upon freedom from time to time. It's a paradox.
Another example is ***. The libertardian insists a fellow has a right not only to duck dicks, but to brag about it - to flaunt it openly. But this country was better when we persecuted gays. This DID encroach on their freedoms - undeniably. But the manner in WHICH it encroached was practiced by the Founding generation itself, and all subsequent generations right up until the current Age of Degeneracy. And we were a better polity for it.
I love America ONLY to the degree that it protects my rights and the rights of my fellows, and hate it to the degree that it tramples them. My current feelings are on the down slope.
When you complain, ur friends roll their eyes and ur enemies rejoice
"Because I SAY I am" is a todler's tantrum, not "science"
You cannot betray me - only yourself, to me.

If gender is not sex, why should a gender claim change what sex you shower with?
