Of Course You Can Have an Opinion

Unless you are a Conservative....

Of Course You Can Have an Opinion
Callagy Law

As a young Republican in America, I feel it is hard to speak up on current issues facing our nation. Sometimes I feel that I can't speak up at all. And if I dare to do so, I am constantly trying to water down my beliefs. Fearful that I might say something to offend someone or a group of people and face major backlash. Wake up America, it isn't the government that is taking away our freedom of speech, it's our society full of liberals.

Liberals believe in freedom of speech for everyone.....until you disagree with them. Then you become racist, homophobic, or islamaphobic. The meaning of freedom of speech is the right to express your opinions without censorship or restraint. We have absolutely lost the sight of the true meaning. As of right now in this county, every citizen that disagrees with a left wing view on black lives matter groups, radical Islam,"police brutality", Hilary Clinton, Obama, and immigration, I suggest keeping your opinions to yourself until we get this country back on track. It is not worth putting yourself at risk.

I believe the reason Donald Trump has been so successful in this election is because he is speaking the truth about matters and not watering down his beliefs. Even after getting heavy backlash on his truthful blunt remarks, he isn't afraid to say what many of us conservatives wish we could and he is giving us the voice we wish we had. Never should we have to suppress our beliefs out of fear.

Our nation has become overly sensitive to anything that might be harsh. We have created this ridiculous term called political correctness. What a joke. It should not matter what people say or if it offends you or someone else. This term itself is a huge reason why our "freedom of speech" is being restricted. The harsh truth is that life is hard and people need to toughen up. And when I say people, I mean cry baby liberals. I'm sure with my previous sentence that I offended quit a few people, but that's my point.

As I am getting older I am becoming more and more frustrated with how I always have to watch what I say or write. Many people in this country need to learn the term tolerance. You don't have to agree or like what people say. The point is that they should have the right to say what they think and feel and no one in this upside down, liberal filled society can take that away from them.

All of us in this great country should have the right to speak our minds freely. Together, let's get the America back where we can say what we think without having to fear for our physical well being. Let's get the America back where the liberals don't get to decide what is "politically correct". Let's get our country back America and our freedom of speech.

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
