That’s me! Mr. Nobody! I’ll introduce myself. I am an old guy, 75+, WASP—I know, you youngun’s don’t know what that means! White Anglo-Saxon Protestant, racist, bigot, homophobe, etc. ad nauseam! That’s what the media say I am. Of course, that is false like most of their issues!
I am not a professor, a media talking head, a bureaucrat or an economic expert. So all those people think of me as a nobody! What I am is “concerned’ that we seem to be led astray from America by some of these types of people!
Like many American citizens, I have some individual accomplishments. I do try to live a peaceful & law-abiding life. I have 3 children, 2 sons and a daughter in the middle. I have had some individual successes in my life. They were not rock-star successes. I have done well in several endeavors and mediocre in several others.
My focus intellectually from my 30’s has been to seek truth. It is a slippery word for many people who only accept their own version that favors what they like. Most issues cannot be understood or improved with that focus!
The consensus of opinion(s) today is driven by most of our media. The issues in America are driven by the political parties. Can you see anything out of kilter with that? Are there any contrary views? There are! Those views are being viewed and accepted by more of our citizens! Our opinions are our own, but facts need more than our opinions. Sometimes it takes more study than our media want us to do! Your opinions are yours to determine but the facts must be complete before a good opinion can be made! We suffer today in America over opinions of experts being declared as facts with no discussion allowed! Truth does not and cannot be complete there. All actual facts and opinions must be tested for complete truth. All issues are no different.
America was built for us nobodies! We’ve allowed media, political parties and bureaucrats to take it away from us all! They all tell us that it is unfixable, unlikely and impossible. This is mainly because the ones who say that do not want anything changed!
I’ve written to many friends that such a statement is not true. How many years, centuries and acts of God might it take? Most things are fixable, most people don’t want the real fix! We just want our own ways!
With our artificial, driven divisions in society today, we must refuse the separation and reconnect with our common beliefs in this country! Sensible people can agree on much even though we may disagree on some things. Most of our issues today are on uncommon things that have been reported as common. The cause of our issues are mostly people building total political power for themselves.
The first necessity is to regroup around truth! Agree to agree on what is really true. Notice the leftist spin on almost everything. There is some truth in their statements but only enough to seem to be valid. Sometimes, the truth will be told but it doesn’t mean to them what it does to you! It is something to watch for! For instance, one I often mention, “freedom”. We know what that means generally. To Leftists it means, “the absence of all opposition.” We must know who is talking when these terms are used!
Freedom of Speech is a right for us, Mr. Nobodies of America! No matter what the political
elitist experts and oligarchs may say! Even hate speech is allowed under that right! Most of us do not support that kind of speech most of the time! Hate has been redefined by our experts to mean any statement that is truthful and/or conservative, or is contrary to the accepted narratives!
Any free citizens should be concerned with this! But first you must see this. You must come to understand that it is deliberate!
Freedom of the “press” to only communicate Leftist views is not a listed freedom! It should be considered speech control, censorship, not freedom. Many of our founding freedoms have been redefined along those lines.
Our freedoms are given by God, not our government. To God, you are Individual Somebodies! You are the citizens that all the governments in this country are supposed to protect.
Enough with the arrogant self-righteousness of our “leaders!” Beyond enough with top-down government! These are grossly unacceptable in this country! All our Mr. Nobodies in America need to rediscover our true freedoms and learn to discern complete from any partial or totally-lacking truth.
I know every person doesn’t have the talent or desire to speak out. The ones of us who do have those things must use them! Wisdom and truth are required in this day as in every day. Our information sources must be tested for accuracy—the good guys as well as the not so very good ones!
Mr. Nobodies! There are very many things today to which the right answer is: NO! Many of the issues that the media constantly hammers are not right or good. The consequences of those issues are dire. We all must discover what we can about them. Many of us are trying to help this need!
There is a common denominator in all our issues. It is so obvious that it is easy to ignore. The issues are not the real issues, they are the excuses for the real issue—total political power. It is the elephant in the room that everyone thinks is only somewhat interesting interior decoration!
This is one of my meditations and themes for the last several years. It is like a unfathomable, universe-wide subject. This is a good starting discussion of this subject. It is packed with meaning.
Humans are made in GOD’s Image and HIS likeness.
That Image in humans is this: our individual spirit & attributes.
The reason is so that we can relate to HIM. Our excuse that GOD isn’t human and a figment of our imagination is totally destroyed by Jesus. Freedom is in this discussion.
GOD created humans to be able to relate to HIM. Jesus came to be our individual, sinless Lamb of sacrifice. He will come again as the Messiah that the Jews are expecting but it will be to return believers (all those who have chosen to believe forever) to the Eden relationship with GOD. {The Biblical book of Leviticus is what perfect obedience would look like.
I finally understand its meaning and use.}
What GOD and a human creates are reflections of themselves. They are alike enough for the ...

While it is humanly impossible for humans to be totally good, we always can do much better than we have been doing if we individually want to do so! There is no concept that humans can totally achieve in this life. This applies individually, in groups or collectively.
The pathologies of today’s culture are apparent. However, they are called benefits & loudly proclaimed. They must be clearly seen as dangerous & wrong to our once-free country!
They are deliberately destroying Christianity, our country, our families, our individual personhood & our individual freedoms. Does this seem to be too extreme a statement?
Our media are calling evil “good” & good “evil”. Should that be totally right & silently allowed? Free speech & opinions must not live there? Freedom of speech is not absolute. This severe problem should be curtailed & limited within the proper bounds & situations!
Is it possible or allowed to seek those limits that do not destroy freedom of speech itself?

I do not support ANY, ANY political personality cults!!!! Left, Right, middle, it doesn’t matter! If you take the political part out, it is still so! Is this clear enough? I don’t support cultish “groupyism”!
My expectation is that any American who wishes to serve America in a political office would speak and act in support of our cherished American principles that are reflected in the best writings of our founders and all sensible people since then!
I am disgusted by the pragmatic politics and the excessive partisanship that the media love, especially for Democrats, it seems. I am disgusted with the pro-to-total leftism in our media. They do not represent thinking, peaceful citizens’ views! Individual humans are all over the belief spectrum with the issues. That is why discussion is necessary!
The people that I enjoy watching and reading at least attempt to tell the truth as they see it and are willing to listen to varying opinions and discuss them! From libertarian to center ...
