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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
