Coming to our country soon when the melenias and Gen Z crowd take over.
I've heard from a couple of that crowd that the elderly are a major drain on our society and should
be make to die by a certain age.

Create laws to:

2. Abort past delivery.
3. Kill off the elderly and the infirm of any age.
4. Create designer children, abort/kill those that aren't perfect.
5. ???.......

Yep. I'd seen a few posts here and there in here where they complain about the elderly being a drain. Even one of Biden's* guys (at least I think he's a guy, but who knows with that admin) wants people to die at age 75.

The voice of certain groups aren't always right and therefore shouldn't be heeded.

How is it harder for poor communities to vote? Because having voting ID laws makes you think that they’re not able to vote all of a sudden? give me a break. They all have IDs they all have cars they all drive, and they obviously vote.

women have rights. all they have to do is contact their state legislature if they disagree with a certain Law and if enough people put pressure on their legislature, they will change course or you can vote them out. that is how liberty works. that is how a republic works. in a republic you don’t always get your way. I disagree with Republicans on their abortion stance for the record

i also disagree with the republicans stance on gay marriage. I actually disagree with Republicans on a lot of issues however the left has become so unhinged and radicalized that they are a greater threat to liberty and their policies all seem to benefit China and the wealthy elites. no thanks.
Great post, well said, I feel exactly the same.

As far as Republicans/Conservatives and gay marriage, didn't the pope actually endorse same sex marriage ? Seems like that is a moot point now.

You are absolutely correct !

A "Christian" Iran Linked Video (4 min) is what they want. The Ayatollah Khomeni would be proud were these Islamists and not Christian Nationlalists.
I honestly don't care to watch the whole video. Can you show me where any Christian has said that we should mandate Christianity? There is nothing unamerican about wanting to have laws that support our view of society.

It's hilarious. They will accomplish nothing of the sort. Nature will cull them long before that. As soon as their parents die and the bank kicks them out of the basement on the reverse mortgage coming due they'll be on the street. Pasty and scrawny and without Mom's cell plan they will wander looking in dumpsters for scraps of Starbucks scones. Weakened by years on the couch and an inability to nourish themselves without Grubhub they will eventually be taken down by stray dogs.

I know there are many out there like myself, some just left of center, others just right of it, that are basically lost because we just don't fit into these extremes. I don't want a "Handmaid's Tale" existence, nor do I like the majority of things the leftists want.
I'm a leftie centrist and completely agree. I believe it is time for centrists to stop ignoring the extreme's and pull both parties back to a rational, orderly path.

I think it's the opposite. Start ignoring the extreme's of both parties, much like Manchin and Sinema are doing. Stop being afraid of being cancelled, stop giving them the power and stand up for what is right. We've got a SCOTUS that was afraid to answer a question, due to the backlash. When this kind of stuff happens, it isn't a healthy society.

A society based entirely on the pleasures one could experience in their short lifetime. Sex drugs copious party hearty dude. Yeah. I have read a book or two. What you seem to be advocating for fits Nowlan's novelette to a T. As a Boomer I rather resent your sentiment. I'm a younger Boomer but still in there and I have no intention of checking out anytime soon.

So I guess you need to notify DS and send out the sandmen with their black uniforms and nifty guns to get er' done. Good luck. Not really but just sayin'...
Lol...I'm sure that 21 year old would have no clue what Logan's Run was.
