Sling Shot
By Tammy Derouin
Being politically correct is not my
style. In fact, I held firm on referring to those who entered the
United States illegally as illegal aliens. Mainstream media decided
they needed to soften the offense by calling them illegal immigrants.
I was happily surprised and a bit amused that “alien” crept back
into the description after Trump took office.
The United States is the beacon of hope
for people all around the world. The desire to live free is what
draws people here. Freedom is the ultimate goal. Living in a country
which recognizes your God-given rights is a blessing and one that
should not be taken for granted.
We protect our homes from those who
seek to enter illegally. We wouldn't allow anyone to enter our home
if they were openly threatening to destroy it. There are reasons we
build fences, install locks, security systems and cling to our
God-given right to protect ourselves. Why should it be any different
for our homeland?
Do you know anyone who would
intentionally leave their family, home and belongings vulnerable to a
home invasion? Do you know anyone that would open their door,
shrugging off death threats and or acts of violence against them and
their family? It would be beyond irresponsible. Family members would
question their sanity. Would you really betray your family to avoid
being called a name?
The old playground bullying tactics
have been commandeered by Left-wing radicals. As kids, name calling
was an occasional fact of life. Eventually, you learned it was only
a word. Those who knew you, knew the truth. If you feed a bully, he
returns and demands more. The more you cower and give in, the
happier you make him. You are empowering your very own enemy; one
that will attack every chance he gets. The worse thing you can do to
a bully is stand up to him.
There are several ways to defeat a
bully. Eventually, you find what works best for you. When you've
reached your fill, your weapon, either in attitude, words or my
personal favorite, humor, comes out shaped like a little sling shot.......
