Brett I agree with you on many things but not all. I see it as you have your opinion and I have mine. That is fine we are both free to have those opinions. That certainly doesn’t mean we can’t work together.
Were things have went off the rails in my opinion is when folks want to infringe on the right of others to have a different opinion from theirs.
I will never forget when after a committee hearing Diane Feinstein gave Lindsay Graham a hug. They both disagreed with each other during the hearing but they both respected each others point of view. Most of the Dem’s lost their minds and some even publicly called for her removal. That was insane.
I believe the loss of respect for one another is a root cause of much of the behavior we see out of folks throughout society.
I don't have much time right now, I've written a few articles that got published in the conservative thinker and a few others.
This was something I typed up the other night. Although I'm conservative, I'm a registered independent. The republican party has many pathetic rinos in it, who I find to be worse than leftists in the fact that at least leftists state their bat**** crazy upfront, while the rinos pretend to be against it, all the while stabbing we the people in the back.
We didn't just vote for Trump...
We voted against the radical left agenda.
We voted against censorship
We voted against ridiculous mask mandates.
We voted against big pharma and a deadly drug called the Vax
We voted against 9 years of you labling us fascists and bigots simply because we disagree with your agenda.
We voted against Marxist indoctrination of our children
We voted against your hatred that was so strong that you endorsed two assassination attempts, imprisonment of political dissidents, corruption, and the daily silencing and abuse you gave your fellow humans who dared to disagree with you.
We voted against your insane inept attempts to to control our lives, our faith, our right to believe, disbelieve, or even be ambivalent to a faith in God as we see fit.
You became the very thing you wanted to prevent. This is always the case with far left or right ideologies. The leftist platform is one of tyranny, intolerance and authoritarianism.
Americans are, in general, a patient and tolerant people but you obviously reached the end of our patience. Many of us, about a third, reject the two party system that became a uniparty. We are the independent, the unaffiliated voter.
Electric APUs have started gaining acceptance. These electric APUs use battery packs instead of the diesel engine on traditional APUs as a source of power. The APU's battery pack is charged when the truck is in motion. When the truck is idle, the stored energy in the battery pack is then used to power an air conditioner, heater, and other devices

I completely agree with Brett. Everything was well said!
I've lost a few friends over the years for standing up for what's right. It hurts, but you can't cave in to emotion or passion if it's misguided. Truth always triumphs over lies.
Politics has gone so dark now days. This year, I didn’t even want my wife to put her "Trump" sticker on her car. Her last two cars got keyed mercilessly because of that. The same folks who want us to all come together in love and joy can't seem to control their own rage.
Standing for truth and what's important for our future will always be paramount. Don't be surprised when even your own siblings or family members become antagonists.
