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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
