Liberal recalcitrance

Back in the doldrums.  Got too optimistic about solving the great political divide problem .  Too manyu voices telling me can't be done.  Doesn't matter what you say, even if you prove to them they've been lied to about Trump they hate trump anyway and just don't care.  give it up.  That's what I've been hearing.  Maybe they're right.  Hard to believe that ALL libetals would be that stubborn and closed to the influence of actual facts but what do I know?  

I did remember one other exchange I wanted to report.  I get that they are unhappy about the Roe v Wade decision , of course.  The fact that it was an illegal law that was simplty removed from national status to be thrown back to the states ;isn't interetsing to them I guess.  Who cares if it was illegal, we awanted that law, or something like that.  Well sure, lots of laws that were created by the Supreme Court instead of by the legistlature which is supposed to be the cretor of laws, are what they want.  I guess they don't care if it's all done illegally as long as it's what they want.  Gay marriage for instanc3e.  

I'm surpirsed that they continue to use some pretty tired and false defenses of the supposed Pro Choice position.   Nboody just rushes into aboritnon they say, it's often an agonizing decision, something to be very careful about.  take your time, do it for the right reasons, not impuslsively etc.    But tehy know and I kow, many women know from personal experience of self and friends and acquaintances that that simply is not true.  Abortions are sought in the vast jamority of cases because the baby is unwanted , period.  Perfectly healthy mother, perfectly healthy baby, just inconvention at the time.  Even some marriaed peopl ego for abotrtion.  It's uised as a sort of birth control in the vast ajority of cases and that idea that anyone spends any time agonizing over it is just  a silly lie to make it sound nicer or something.  Good greif.    Besides, how would one agonize over such a decision anyway?  If it's a human being you are thinin g of killing, how much agonizing is really possible anyway?  The liefe of the mother , sure, burt that one is very rare and it's a doctor's decision rather than the woman's.    'm juxg xupfixdc ghzg znyhond soulc zllos hdfxdlv go mzkd xu h z xilly zfbumdng.\\


then I heard that a woman in texas aws denied an abortion under the new state's law although her life was indceed threatened, the idea being that Texas doesn't have a lwaw that protects the woman.  Well, Texas does.  There was some kind of medical qursyion about whether the woman's life really was in jeopardy.  It was not about the law at all, but a octor's call.  Maybe the doctor was wrong.  I don't know, but it wasn't about the law.   Why don't our liberal friends get these things sort ed out before they get all emotional about how pro lifers would even kill the mother in order to esave the baby.  Even liberal s who live in liberal states have some feverishly emotional worries, in liberal states where there will be the most liberal laws available for abotion for any purpose whatever.  Good grief.  

I have to suppose they really don't think it's a baby, haven't really faced the fact that from conception it has all the DNA to maeke a particular individual human being that will continue to grow into that human being if you let it be.  So that interfering with it's growht is to take the life of a human being.   I remember when I finally had to face that fact.  It broke my heart because I had had an bortion when I was twenty.   I was told it was just a piece of tissue.  Nosw I think of it as my child I hope to meet in the presence of Jesus.

We have too many laws these days that violate God's Law, and what theat means is that God's wrath abides on this nation.  It was a relief that WRoe v Wade was sent back to the states where it belongs because that took it out of its status of national abomination which was killing millions of babies every year, sixty mtwo million I think by now.  That's a lot of bmurdered human souls cring out to God.   gay marriage is also an affront to Goed.   We left out original Christian culture long ago.  We are now under God's wrath, have been for decades by now, which explains a lot of the destrution we are witnessing at the hands of the Mraxists.  they are the cause of our being under God's judgment, and now are being used as God's tool of judgment.  It would take a miracle to reverse this.  I guess we can pray and hope.  Pray as the prophet daniel prayed, confessing the nisins of the nation to God.  But in all probabiltiy we won'd be able to do enough before Jesus returns and brings it all to an end anyway.  I guess we have to keep trying nevertheless.

The Political Divide is Maintained With an Iron Grip by the Communication Blackout

The biggest political problem we have, it's seemed to me for a long time, is that it is just about impossible to communicate with the Left from the Right.  The mainstream media are all controlled by the Left, their news is all slanted Left, they even tuck rods into their news reports to load them with opinion although they are supposedly news.  So that just about anything repoted about Trump's views gets a word inserted into it to say something like "his FALSE idea that" or his "UNWARRANTED ivew that" whicdh as far as I know has never been done in news accounts until quite recently.  A feaw years perhaps.  Since Trump started running for President perspehaps.  maybe before, not sure, but definitely since Trump, their effort being constantly to trash whatever he says or does in the most ... well, in every way they can.  I wonder how many people even notice the insertion of those manipulative words into a news report?    Does anybody on the left see them or hear them?  Accept them as legitimate reporting if so?


That is more than I planned to say but it's aproppos.  The point is that there is no wa to get the conservative point of view across the great political divide to peopole on the left becaue all the avenues are blocked by the Left.  They own the media, that's the main thing.  If you want to hear a conservative opinion you have to go out of your way to find it.   or all the average Democrat in this country knows, he or she is getting normal news.  It wouldn't have to occur to them theyat they are getting opnly what the Leftist elites want them to get.   They believe it.  What else should they do?  


That is a huge frustration and to my mind it's THE reason for our slide into totalitarianism, that we can't have a dialogue with the other side.  It's not just that liberals blow us off, which they do, it's that heyh are physically deprivesd of hearing anything other thatn the liberal line on everything.   It frustrates me all the time that I hear such good analyses of the news from the conservative side every day but know that it will never get past ythe circle of consercvaatives who listen to conservative programming.  There maybe millions of us, well there ARE millions of us, but we're locked into our own sealed off compartment.  We have lots of talk show hosts who talk every day, dozens of them all over the country.  We have excellednt thinkers who have podcasts, we have excellent publications, all sorts of great resources.  But the liberals, the Demostracts, the rank and file on the left, can't get to them, don't even know they exist, and of course if they're told, they are so soaked in their own leftist propaganda they have no interest in finding out about any of it.


Matt Tyobi, sorry again about the spelling, mentioned on the Mark Levin show that he'd seen some old friends after his stint witht e twitter Files, andasked them about some newsworthy event or other.  I don't know if he named the event or  iddn't mention it, but I missed it so don't know what he asked them.  Anyway, he was distressed to discover that they'd never heard of it.  Tyobi is a Democrfat, or always was as far as I know so I gather the same is true of the friends he's talking about.  Liberals, Democrats.  They don't know all kinds of things becaue the media are so successful at keeping them from the information.   


So as I pointed out in the previous couple of posts, they never hear anything to change their minds about the lies against Trump.  We on the right know that Trump denounced the neoNazis, they on the left don't.  We on the right know that Trump didn't mock a man for his disability, they on the left don't.  We on the right know that Trump had nothing whatever to do with any insurrect5in but emphasized a peaceful protest, but they on the left don't, beause all they ever hear is the smear campaign against Trump.  It's endless, every speaker on the leftist media reiterates the smear against Trump and against Conservaives.  It's endless.  They state sas if it were fact that Trump is a fascist, etc etc etc.  It's probably the most diabolical situation that's every existed and I can believe that's lieteral.  The devil is smart.  To be able to pull that off, so effectively isolate half the country from the other half, takes some sort of genius.  I wrackmy mind for ways to overcome thie blackout.


Even Tyobi recognizes the problem.  Talking out the issues is difficult enough if you try it with any given liberal, it takes time, patience, much much careful effort, it can't be done in a short encounter or eve n a dozen short encounters, and this media blackout ujust about seals the deal.  Hermetically sealed off from each other.  


I'm sure that if liberalxs did hear other sides some wouldn't come over to our side, but I'm also sure that many would.  They'd have to see that they'vew been lied to.  Not all liberals would be happy to discover that no matter how committed they are to a particular point of view.  EWEven if they hate Trump with a passion could they really just shrufg off the knowledge that he's been so relecntlessly smeared they are believing lies about him?   Brandon Strat, I think I remembered his name right, discovered that Trump didn't mock the disabled man and went on a search for more ways he might have been lied to as a lifelong Democrat, found out that he'd been consistently lied to and founded the Walkway Movmenet of Democrats leavintg the Partly.  They may not become Republicans but they reject the Democrats.  Because they see how they've been manipulated.


But getting people to see this is the hard part.  I wrack my brains for a solution to this.  I think the country's welfare depends on solving this particular problem.  We have to find a way to get the liberals to hear us.

End Notes on the Political Divide, Maybe

 Liberal friend asks if I'd agree that both sides spin the news to suit our political position and that accounts for a lot of our insbility to agree on facts.  I'm not sure abourt the last part of that, I'm gusessing about that part, but she did seem to expect me to agree that both sides spin the facts to suit our political views.

Well, I don't agree but I can aoncede that since we view the news through our particular poitical lenses that our political opinion s are going to shape it and color it even to the point sometimes that it is hard to recognize eachothers' s poisition it's so different from our own .  Sometihing like that.  But no, if we're talking about spin no, the right does not spin in the sense of manipulating facts to create a particular impression such as I was trying to show in the examples I gave in the previous post.  That is not just the news freighted with a political viewpoint, it's the news altered by intention to make something apprear to be the case which is not the case.  In those examples , at leats the first two of them, the news was specifically manipulated to make Trump look bad, make him out to be sympathetic to neo Nazis, make him out to be the sort of crude person who would mock a man's disability.  that's not ordinarly political coloration, that's outright lying to destroy a person.

In the Gerlge Floyhd example, thebelief that he was killed by racist politic led to rioting that destroyed cities and nobody saw fit to try to stop it.  If anybody knew about the tony timpa case, a white man who was killed in eaxactly the same way as Floyd was, it was kept from the public.  It is still kept from the public.  You have to go out of your eway to find it.  he was treated to exactly the same police manuever, he also kept protesting that he couldn't breathe, and after eleven minutes you can hear on the audio as he exhales his last breath.  After which they frantically try to revive him but it's too late.

At least the public should be wmade aware of the Tony Timpa case but that isn't happening and I guess it won't because the media are in service to eh Left which doesn't want to have a democracy in whicdh all sides get heard and the truth is allowed to come out, they want a totalitarian regime in which we all bow to leftist policieeds and the media are servicing that aim.  even though there are lots of good conservatives tgalking on the radio and in podcasts and through good organizations and publicastions, their point of view is never allowed to spread to the public at large.  All they ever get is leftist spin, real spin, real lying manipulating spin.

the eorge Floyd case gets even more complicated as there is some good evidence that he didn't die of the police manuever at all, but of overdosing on some heavy drugs.  he was already complaining that he couldn't believe before he was put into that manuever.  Certainly we could regard the decidsion to treat him that way as a great error of judgment at least, but apparently he was hard to restrain and bad decisions were made.  I don't know the whole story but apparently it is now told in a fiolm titled The Fall of Minneapolis.  

In aycase Derek Chauvin is not guilty of murder or even manslaughter.  He was following police procedsures and mistakes don't get you imprisoned for murder or manslaughter in a normal functioning justice system.  Which we no longer have.

As often happenes I managed not to talk about what I started out to talk about but I guess I can start on that here.  I didn't know much about the E Jean Carroll case yesterday, and I'm very li.klely getting her name wrong beause I konly know it by how it sounds since I can't read it.  I still don't know the whole story but I now know that this defamation he was charged with , Trump I mean of course, was calling her a liar and insisting he isn't guilty of what she accused him of.  Now THAT is a miscarriage of justice.  Good grief if you can't protest that you're not guilgty and the accuser is lying there is nothing canyone can safely say in this country any more.  I'm sure this must be the only time in the history of the planet that chargeds of defamation were brought against someone for saying that, the whole thing should have been thrown out of court bwfore it got to the doorway.

I was also ruminating about my liberal friend's complaint that Trump was behving like a child in the courtroom.  Well, OK, that speaks to his personality and many people don't like his personality.  The Guy from Queens is one way that \\\\ he gets described, which I surmise describes a rather crude or impuslive personality or something like that?  I don't know.  But in any case it's personality and when you start talking about his personality you've left the topic of justice.  Well, is the complaint that he's flouting the law or that he is behaviorng like a child?  I guess you can object to both but rally not in the same breath if you want to make a point about what's going on with him.    

It's possible that quite a bit of Trump's personality is what epopel turn into a criminal mindset or something like that?  I can't fathom what they are doing with Trump.  He's no fascist but they insist he is.  Just the usual leftist following of the instruction manual which tells them to acuse the opposition of what they are guilty of?  That's how I tend to read it.  Because they are the ptotalitairans, not Trump.  They are the destroyers of democracy, not Trump.  they are the ones who have censored conservativeas who simply hold opinions they disagree with.  That's totalitarianism.  The right doesn't do that sort of thing.  Yell and scream and call the Left names sometimes, yes, but actually try to censor them, no, actually lie about them, no.  there's no need, they are objectionable enough just as they are.  Ha Ha.  

Mark Levin hade Matt Tyobe on his show this evening, and I'm sure I'm mangling that name for the same reason I mangled Carroll's, I'm just going by how it sounds.  Tyobe is the man who exposed the twitter fils about all the censorship of poolitical positions the Left doesn't like.   He's recently exposed a group who are plotting to bring down the next election by various means jut as they brought down the previous one.  As Trump keeps saying, 

THIS IS NO LONGER AMERICA.

I still ponder how it might be possible to have a real discussion with liberals.  I'm told it's not possible, give it up, they don't want to talk, they want to hold onto their opinions no matter what, partly because they reall y do believe you have nothing to say anyway.    But I go on daydreaming.  And I'm pretty sure I know how it should be done procedurally.

A bigproblem I fun into with liberal friends is getting rushed, trying to say too much, trying to say something when I'm not ready to say it and hevaveln't had time to think it all through.  The time has to be made to think it throutgh.  No more than one issue at a time should be brought up for discussion and it should be discussed in calm orgiving tones on both sides,k but at least on the conservative side.  Gerting frantic and anxious is an enemy to making any headway at all.  If it needs to take dayhs or weeks, then so be it, but maybe a few hours or less is all some issues would need.  but it woulde hve to be throughouthly pursued so that both sides know that what they think about it is ver y clear.  

Tha's pretty much what I said a couple posts down too.  

The way things are going, though, it's probabsly a lost cause.  We're coming down to the very end and the return of Christ and any victories at this late date would no doubt be very short lived.  But then, I don't know, we don't know when the EndTimes are going to unforld with an;y certainty and we have to keep busy at our calling in any case.

Railroading Trump

 So what I had thought was headway in a disussion with a liberla turned out not to be which got me the usual Wat did ou expect from a liberal?  meaning you might as well give up, he gave up long ago.  I an' t give up though.  I have to think it's possible tht if you really ahve some facts that cofrrect a liberal misinformation that the liberal has to be honest enough to recognize3 that fact and change course at least on that one issue.  I still think that.  But ome form of denial seems to reign for the moment at least.  Nevertheless I'm not giving up.  


All I have are a few incidents in which the facts are provable.  There are endless incidents that seem obviously enough to me to be falsely represented by the liberal media but I don't hav the incontgrovertible facts in those cases.  Ao all I have are a few incidents, rather old by now which my liberal friend treated as some kind of argument against them, but the facts are incontrovertible so I continue to depend on them.  I'm sure I've brought this up here before but things nieed to be represated from time to time.


First one is the Charlottesville speech in which Trump was mischaracterized as saying newNazies are good people.  What he said was that there are good bpoeople on both sides of this issue of whether historical monuments should be removed or left, and since there were neoNazis protested at the scene along with others he was taken to be tsaing that neoNazis are good peop,e.  And tht is still believed by a great many on the lieft.  I asked my liberal friend if that's what she sthought he said and she said yes.  So I said that she should listen to his speech through to the end as toward the end he clearly says that he is not talking about the neoNazis that they should be condemned.  He says that very specifically, but that was not included in the news reports at the time or ever.  That is how the leftist medial create fake news to make Trump look bad, or conservatives in general and so on.  Just leave out whatever would contradict the smear they want to make people believe about Trump.  Trump has also repudicated the neo Nazis since thern but that never gets int othe main sources of news that liberals follow eight.  You have to go out of your way to find such things.  Which is why it is importnat to bring these things up and point them toward the sources that would correct their false impression.


I would think it would be a slam dunk, that an honest liberal would simply see the truth and have to admit it.  And learn from it that if this incident was falsfied to make Trump look bad a lot of other things they believe about Trump are very likely the result of the same sort of smear campaign.  I would think that would be a slam dunk.  Apparently it isn't and I really don't get why not.  


The other incident I like to use is the account of Trump's supposedly mocking a disabled reporters disability with a hand flopping gesture he makes which I guess is meant to imitate a befuddled garbled disorderly behavior or some sort.  Such as perhaps a disabled person might do or something like that.  nd that is exactly the pimpression the leftist media wanted to create and cuccceded in creating in the mind so f a great number of liberals in this country.  And my liberal friend is no exception as she answered my question whether she believes that is what Trump did by saying yes she did belive it.  So Isaid that there are videos available that show him making that exact same getsture in repsonse to a number fof other people who are not disabled, making it clear that he was mocking their opinion, not their person.  Again that ought to be a slam dunk revelation of how the news sources create false impressions to smear Trump, but again somehow I gather it was brushed off.  Beyond my comprehension.


Then I also refer to the George Floyd case, asking if the person believes Floyd was killed by racist cops.  A huge number of people in this country still think that was the case.  My friend said no in this case so I asked if she belie verd it was police brutality instead and she said yes to that but she acknolwedged that it was donge according to police directives in their training manusl so that the problem was not the cops but the plice policy itself.  The problem is hat we didn't follow up on this.  If it was police policy that was correctly followed then drerk chauvin did not murder Geolrge Floyd.  It would have to have been a rogue misbehavior on his part to justify that conclusion.   Also my firend did not know about the incident in which a white man, Tony Timpa, was ,killed by aexactly the same police maneuver in another part of the  country around the same time.  That should definitely ively show that it was rnor tracism and even if she had rejected that conclusion she should acknowledge that a misimpression was given that justified weeks of rioting and destruction in cities.  But liberals don't let themselves object to such things no matter what I guess.  


So much for attempts to get liberals to see facts.  


I was told that Trump acted like a child in storming out of the coutnrtrrom in the case of defamation brought against him for his rejection of some woman named Carroll's claim that he assaulted her sexually years ago.  Childish of him.  Well, liberals think all these court cases are legitimate legal actions.  We on the right know they are rigged and examples of the corruption of our justice system for political reasons on the part of the Left.  Trump knows he's being unujustly treated as usual so storming out of the courtreem seems like an undrstandable reaction to me, but ieven if you'd rather see more dignity and decorum from the Guy from QAueens as he is sometimes referrred to, the act remaisns that this is dfefinitedly a case of miscarriage of justice, not at all a case of a legal proceeding which should be treated with respect.    The very fact that one woman's testimony is allowed to be used against a person is a miscarriage of justice.  The bible requires two or three witnesses in order to exstablish a person's guilt.  You commit an injustice when you take one person's word for it against anytother, and thoughat ought to be obvious to anyone.   Trump is bwing dragged through unjust attacks on him for political reasons. Well, it's produced the very positive outcome that Trump supporters know he is being unjustily treated and are rising up to make him the most strongly supported candidate for President in history.    good sign that there is something of American spirit left in this country.


There is also that ridiculous accusation of him as supposedly inciting insurrection on January sixth.  Does nobody ever listen to that speech he made?  Guess not.  The evil on the side of the left is so think you'd think even those ON the left might begin gto notice it.  Not yet I guess.


Allegations that women have been offered money to testify to sexual assault in ortder to entrap a man , say Donald Trumkp in particular, float around.  I/ve been trying to find some evidence of a particular allegation that I've been told about but I can't find it.  Working on it.  


But when all you have is one accuser, one witness, the legal case can't be just no matter what.  


I listened a bit to some discussion by leftists on MSNBC about the Trump case he walked out on yesterday Which by the way was perfectly within his right to do since he was there by choice just to hear the proceedings and not required to be there.    Anyway these liberals go on and on about how nobody is above the law but Trump acts as if he thinks he is.  I don't know how they think a person would act who knew he was being reailroaded and that the legal proceedings were all a politial game to hurt him.  In such a case maybe he would act in a way intended to register a protest in the the hminds of his audience?  Maybe that could be construed by enemies to be putting himself above the law when what it really is is a protest that the law is in this case corrupted and broken.   Again some call him a Guy from Queens.  Some of his personality quirks perhaps result from that background and are not to be interpreted as the left loves to interpret them.  A lovely young woman called Georgia H as I recall who did a podcast about her discovery that she was being lied to by liberals was on you tube a few years ago, and may still be for all I know, called him a guy from queens and seem ed to think that accounts for a lot of what people hold against him.


This is all very sickening stuff.  For one thing everything against trump is somebody's word against him, nothing else.  In the case of Biden we have a video of himtalking about bribing Ukrainian officials to protect his son from a prosecutor looking into Hunter biden's financial midsdeeds, and we have evidence from a lptop belonging to Hunter biden full of incriminating evidence .  but what is used as evidence against Trump has to be made to look like something it isn't.  A speech about peaceful protest has to be called a n incitement to insurrection and if it's called that over and over again they figure it will become a reality although all he ever did was describe people protesting peacefully.  In the ases above information crucial to understanding what he said and did is simply left out by the media.  But the lefties continue to go on and on with their hatred of the man, using words to smear him in a million ways.  Lies lies andmore lies.  And the average liberal seems to accept it as simple truthy.



They can sound plausible in their accusations and allegations against Trump.  But then I remember how flimsy their foundation for any of it really is.  We know that Hilary Clinton bought the Russian dossier to smear Trump during his first election campaign.  How manyu of average liberals know that?  The Mullier Report found nothing because there was nothing to find.  The two impeachmenets were a clear sham based on making ordinary actions into criminal actions, which is a lot of what the left is doing against trump.  With all that going on any actual charge he might be guilty of is impossible to ascertain.    Despite the endless accusations and allegations against him in the end it looks to me like absolutely nothing sticks, he's guilty of none of it.  None.  Yet they have piled up a mountain of crime

Amazing how willing these liberal pundits are to just blather on about Trump and conservaitives in general as if they could analyze everybody's personality off the top of their own partisian political heads.  .    

           How do they get away with that

Loneliness on a new level

 There are manty distresing things going on these days, and mnnot only in the world but in my own personal life, which makes it hard to arrive at conclusions and solutions about anything.  For me for sure but I think for many of us.  I continu to be distressed by the political situation in particular, meaning the fact that lfeft and right can't talk to each other specifically.


we hear different sets of facts.  Althoughn I can demonstrate in a few dcases that the media have been putting out false facts and that liberals still believe their fversion of those situations, I'm not up on the whole range of issues so I can't make the case for more than a few.  Not to mention the fact that liberals don't want to discuss uany of this anyway.  Even if I propose a discussion I get a no from them.  And other consrvatives say thesame thing.  


But surely there must be a way.  RTo To the expent that it is a matter ofof errors of fact on one side or the other such things ought to be resolvable.  If emotions run high it should be possible for us to learn to tone them donewn for the samekke of discussion.  I don't think of the average liberal as having any nefarious motives, I just think of them as believing false information.  To some extent I think they have the same view of us on the right, but I'm not entirely sure of that since what they think we are accepting is some pretty horrible stuff like white supremacy and fascism and that sort of thing, which are pretty personal things.  But that is something that it would be good to try and sort out.  How long can we go on with half the country believe ing one set of supposed facts and the anot other side a completely different set?


I can prove a few things about how the media have distorted the facts about Trump and about George Floyed and I think also about Black liives matter and that sort of thing.  It's etedious going even with those few things but I do think it worth it to try to get sdiscussions boing on any issue at all.  Even if it takes days or weeks to get through a particular minor issue to a point wehere we have a better understanding of the actual facts on both sides that should be worth it.  I don't know how to begin to try to bring this about because as I said I encounter a complete lack of openness to such discussions from my libedral friends and acquaintancxes.


An even tone, a willingness just to listen and not talk until the right moment if that ever arrives, brief comments to begin with and so on.  Why isn't this a possible mode of discussion for us these days?  I hear the conservative side of thing from many talk show hosts and they are pretty good at including lengthy sound bites of the opposition but I'm always frustrated that the conversation remains one sidesd and that we can't get liberals in on it with us.   What good does it do for a bunch of us to think even the truth about a situation if the truth stays only in our own group?  And yes it is possible that it's not always the truth and we do tneed the input of the other dside.  I very psessimistic about that of course but it has to be allowed as a possibility.  


I understand that there is a strong hatred of Trump by some people, not only on the left but even the right to some extent, and I have to admit to not really understanding it.  It's not that I think Trump is perfection by any means but he offers us a true vision that most conservatives do agree with, but the liberals I know think he's just a power mad fascistic feolonious rapist or some such and while that just takes my breath away with its bizarre falseness I have to acknowledge tghat it's there and bpeople believe it and I don't know what to do about it.  and just going on with the conservative mesasge as the conservative talk shows do isn't going to deal with any of that.  And that is what needs to be dealt with above all.


I'm suffering a lot these days from a sense of isolation and loneliness that seems to be to exceed the normal situation of my life.  There is some personal cause for this but a lot of it is the political situation, the sense of this encoroaching totalitarianism that can't be stopp[ed and largely because we can't talk to the other side about it.  They think we are the totalitarians.  YHikes.  What do you do with that level of falseness?  How do we deal with that?  it is necessary to keep on with the soconcservaitve point of viesw, that can't be dropped, but at the same timed if it isn't etting across to the other side we're just talking in an cho chamber.  Something has to be done.


My typing in this is terrible.  


My eyes are getting wrose.


Anyway as I started to say I'm gefeeling a level of what, disconnection, alienation, loneliness, that seems new to me and is at times even frightening.  I pray and the Lord is there. His peace comes over me whan I speak to Him but still this world is getting to me.   And I keep searching my head for solutions.  And praying about it when I think about it which isn't often enough.  he is always the source of all the answers, how ridiculous of any of us to forget that but I do.


I'm suffering from this sense of isolation and loneliness in a new way it seems to me, and I'm sure I'm not alone, in fact I know I'm not, I have aliberal freind sho admits to having similar feelings.   Someone I can't discuss politics with although recently we might have made alittle headway there, I'm not sure.   But we are both sufering from this state of affairs.  Since the COVID sthing started at least.  


I wish I could read emails but I can't.  I wish I had wsays of being in touch with more people but thanks to my failning eyesight I just can't.  I cdon'at have a solution to any of this for myslef at least.  But as long as I can still type even if I can't read it maybe I can keep up the subject, keep it on the table at least.
