Hello Mr. Olbermann,
This is going to be a different "Hello" than usual.
I cannot bring myself to do a snarky post, not when you have revealed yourself to have so much hatred in your heart.
Let me try and explain to you in a way that you can accept this, if there is any room in your heart for openness.
I accepted Jesus Christ right before COVID-19 happened. I was a workaholic in Big Tech, a politically correct industry. And I knew enough about Christianity to know that its Great Commission would come to a head with my identity as a software executive pretty quickly.
I had a dream -- which I've described elsewhere -- which cemented my decision to evangelize no matter the cost.
By 2020, we were getting fired everywhere -- not for, but for basic things such as accidentally making an OK sign or misgendering someone. We had to stop attending churches in the name of spreading COVID-19.
We had to live in fear and terror for years as the country spiraled into riots, censorship, and repression, which culminated in 2022 when the President of the United States told the nation that Trump supporters were the biggest threat to the Republic.
Thankfully, the Republicans flipped the House a couple of months later and this was all stopped. But the memory is still seared in our minds. We know the darkness that is lurking in the hearts of our fellow countrymen, even as we love them.
Simply put: we think you will snitch on us and jail us on a dime because you already have proven ourselves now.
The 2024 election gave us a bit of reprieve, hope that our country had gone back to what it was supposed to be: everyone peacefully co-existing.
But ... here's what you don't grasp.
Charlie Kirk was our lamb.
He built an entire career on talking to college students, peacefully. On preventing nonviolence. And on engaging others in constructive dialogue.
For that, he got the most gruesome death possible.
And we watched masses of Democrats dance gleefully on his grave. And the media gaslight us into thinking that it's our fault somehow that he died. In short, pulling all the same tricks we saw which oppressed us in 2020.
He was the best of us. What does that say about the rest of us?
Our Takeaway: You Want Us To Die.
At some point, we have to draw a line.
We aren't cancelling you for the same arbitrary reasons you cancelled us in 2020. We are cancelling you because if we don't, then you actually will kill us, and the country is going into civil war.
In short, we are cancelling you to save you.
You will hate my words. I know that. But I am speaking the truth.
Please repent and come to accept the grace of Jesus Christ. Please stop hating us.
@MichaelTomlin@kevinnbass Charlie was providing that off ramp, so they shot him in the neck, and half the country is rejoicing and saying that other conservatives are next. Don’t lecture us about off ramps.
Nobody told these people to "dial it down". On the contrary, they gave BLM $90 million in donations.
They collected the monuments destroyed by BLM and put them on display in a museum to show the "art" of social justice. They didn't say dial it down, they said ramp it up.
This is exactly right. As a libertarian, I used to find common causes on the left and the right. No more. Now I know that even if someone on the right disagrees with me on foreign intervention or the pledge of allegiance, they will not try to kill me and my family. The left will
Plenty of people on the Right have criticized me very harshly, but I am quite sure that if I am killed tomorrow none of them will gloat or express anything but grief and sympathy. But on the Left they will not be able to contain their glee, and they won’t even try. I’m sure of that too. And so for me it is easy to draw the line between friend and foe.
@cenkuygur@realjenx Cenk, the problem is that things are not going to calm down because a huge percentage of the left believes that violence against those on the right is justified. Much of the right was naive and is only now realizing that leftists literally want to kill us.
@amitylee13 I will only ever pledge allegiance to God and my husband-not a flag, country, or government. In reality I may support that government in numerous ways, but I will not put my hand on my chest and make a vow to it.
