One thing that our town does not lack is patriotism. We saw that Saturday evening at the Charlie Kirk Memorial ceremony under the London Bridge. A photograph showing thousands of people holding candles and flags was most touching.
Take a drive through our city and you’ll see more red, white, and blue flags than perhaps anywhere in the country. Next to flags, colorful and loud boats, including hot rods, come in a close second and third. All three are good reasons to live here—along with the lake, of course. Freedom is alive and well in Lake Havasu City.
I read daily, via social media and newspaper editorials, people criticizing the United States. It seems that many are folks who have come here from other nations. That’s akin to inviting someone to your house for Thanksgiving dinner, and then afterwards, having to listen to them complain about the food.
I believe a good many of these complainers are here for one reason: to try to tear this country apart. It’s comparable to some guy or gal seeing your new car in a parking lot, and using their key to deliberately scratch the paint.
Some folks are out there to destroy merely for the purpose of destroying. Thankfully, we have a president and strong leaders attempting to thwart this hate movement. Criminals, haters, and rabble-rousers are being deported by the thousands.
Leftists use the words fascists to describe President Trump and his followers, but they haven’t a clue what a real fascist is. Undoubtedly, they’re mimicking what they’ve heard on some mainstream media news channels. Hollywood celebrities are good at spewing this hateful garbage.
Fascist is a popular ‘buzz word” among left-leaning politicians. They use it for only one reason: to try to brainwash their constituents into believing them, hoping to garner votes.
Thank goodness the majority of American citizens have common sense to see through this twisted agenda. Count me in with that group, along with my closest friends. I believe a good many of these ‘informed patriots’ reside here in Lake Havasu City.
I’m not sure where this country will be in another 10 years, yet for my children and grandchildren’s sake, hopefully, they’ll never see the likes of another 2020 – 2024. Those four years were far worse than any I’ve ever been through, including the Cold War.
I was afraid to speak my conservative mind during the Biden era, greatly concerned that speech police would come knocking on my door. Laugh if you like, but that’s happening in Great Britain right now. Citizens and non-citizens alike are being arrested for mere thoughts alone.
It appears that our city will maintain its basically conservative population for some time. Opinions of all kinds are welcome in a free society, including liberal viewpoints.
It became a real problem for me and others when those on the left attempted to muzzle those of us on the right. I’d like to personally thank President Trump for removing the gag. I don’t know who said this, but they hit the nail square on the head,
“Patriotism unleashed is powerful stuff.”
I like to write junk...
