What I Believe

Hello Y'all!

Over the last several weeks I have had a number of discussions about "What I Believe", with my liberal friends and my conservative friends (yes, I have both - at least so far).

Here are some of the questions I have been asked about and discussed sometimes in vast detail.  I put them in relative order based upon how long (written email & text & DM) and involved the discussions were and/or frequency of being asked about this topic.  Some of the topics have associated items underneath them...

  1. What is - Patriotism to you?
  2. Are we losing our Freedoms (Usually the first 2 amendments)?
    Media Bias
       Right vs Left
       Restricting Freedom of Speech
  3. Capitalism vs Socialism vs Communism 
    Are we becoming a Socialist country?
    What about the New World Order?
  4. Do you think there is Racism & Prejudice in America?
    BLM
    Defunding Police
  5. What is your view on Sexuality?
    LGBTQ+
    Transgender
       (In general, and of course now in sports)
  6. What is your view on Abortion?
  7. Do you think Education is destroying America?
    (My favorite item here is the latest on 'furries' in school)
  8. Parental Rights
    as it pertains to # 5 & #7
  9. Politics and Politicians
    Republican vs Democrat usually 
    Conservative vs Liberal - Which is usually associated with (you guessed it) Rep & Dem
    Corruption and 'draining the swamp'
      - Bribes, Drugs and Human Trafficking
  10. Voting
    Is it fraudulent?
      Did Trump really win or lose?
    Voter ID
    Voter Restriction
  11. Finally... What do you think of "Q"
I am posting this on Facebook and in my blog (noparadigms.org) so going forward I don't have to repeat myself over and over.  That I can just say when asked... "hey {so & so}, I posted it on FB and its also on my blog.  Now I will be candid, I am doing this for my own benefit and laziness.

So over the next few weeks If you see a post by the title of the items above you can read it or ignore it.

And as an aside - totally unrelated to the above.  Many have asked why I shaved my beard.  Motivation.  I have gained WAY too much weight and you can trim a beard to make your face look thinner and delude yourself into thinking: "Hey, I'm not that bad!"  But a shaved fat face is not easy to hide and (for me) a great motivation to actually diet and exercise.
