    I write poetry and philosophies. This is another one, that is in my sunroom, for anyone passing by to see.

    Give a nation Drugs, and they will become your Slaves, forever!
    Give them Freedom, and they will become Independent.

    Dear Millennials, and People whom don't believe in the U.S. Constitution, that live in the United States of America.
    "Freedom isn't Free"

    Maybe you Socialists out there in America, should visit China for a week, and see how many freedoms you have, over there!!
    Cause I guarantee ya, if you actually tried living it first hand, you'd actually realize, that your socialistic type utopia, isn't all what it's cracked up to be! It might look great on paper, but hasn't worked fully, for any country. And those whom try it, tend to end up as 3rd World Countries.

    I like your end quote. my birthday is September 14th. Plus, if America is such a "racist" country, then wouldn't we hate Jewish people as well? I mean, the KKK hated Jewish people.

    Then again, the KKK was founded by a bunch of Democrats.

    Why would so many Jewish people want to come to such a racist country? if we are racist? lol.

    I use to dislike George Carlin. But as he got older, he actually became more Conservative. Just like most older people tend to do.

    Well you know what they say if you're not a liberal by the time you're 25 they say that you have no heart and if you don't turn conservative by about the age of 35 they say that you don't have something else either.

    There were Jews immigrating here even back when slavery existed. Does that mean slavery wasn't racist?

    They say that the brain doesn't stop fully developing until the age of 25.
    Many people use to be Conservatives, John Wayne, and others. As most people get older, they tend to become more conservative.
    for many reason. Wisdom, first hand experience, and living and learning, and determining what's right and wrong, maturity.
    Conservatives tend to give long-term deep answers, that are well thought out, whilst democrats tend to give short answers, that lack substance.

    Many people, even hardcore liberals, become a little bit more Conservative in their lifetimes, if they start a family, or even just get married, because they realize, that Democrat Politicians divide families, whilst Republicans stand for things like God, families, and Country. Morality, you know, things like that.

    Even George Carlin, who was a very extreme liberal at one point and time in his life, became more Conservative near the end of his life.

    Carlin was never conservative. He was liberal, actual liberal, not "woke" or regressive liberal. Though toray some if the latter may think him conservative.

    As well as having more status and wealth to protect, and more years of being used to how things are, and experience trying to change things and failing, and giving up. There are many reasons, yes, some laudable and some less so.

    I have seen plenty of each from both.

    He didn't change much, nor did I. Society changed around us.
