I believe in Freedom of Speech for everyone!  Not just those with whom I agree.  I believe all our inalienable rights come from God, not the government!  I believe everyone has the right to think and express what they please.  I hope they find it within themselves to do so civilly, non-personally, and peacefully.  If they do not, they may find themselves violating the Constitution and the laws of the land.

Now to my title, “Kick me to the curb if….”  If what?  Thank you for asking.  In the Book of Amos 3:3, we read the declaration, “Can two walk together, except they are agreed?”  That could be a rhetorical question, but let me answer it this way before I get to the “if” of my title. 

Can two people walk together?  In Hebrew, the word for walk is ‘yalak,’ which conveys the idea of literal walking and working and fellowship or pursuing the same purposes.  The word together is the Hebrew ‘yachad,’ which means united and is from a root word that means to become one.

In that light, the answer is No!  Two cannot walk together if there is no agreement in purpose, principle, and ideology.  However, I believe that the Bible teaches that life is filled with examples of two people not in agreement on many things being able to work together up to a point.  So, in that sense, the answer is Yes.

Now to my title statement and the if contained therein.  What is the “if” that ‘if that transpires’?  I suggest or invite you to kick me to the curb or withdraw from me.  The “if” cannot be defined in one statement but a very extensive list of things political, religious, social, economic, etc.  However, I will only focus on the political, but everything I say and do is directly connected to my core convictions of faith.  Therefore, there is and will be an overlapping between the political and religious.

If you support abortion and abortion on demand, we have no basis of agreement from which to work.  I believe that life begins in the womb!  No, I believe that Life begins in the heart of God, but as soon as that baby is conceived, the purposes of God are set in motion, and any violation of that plan is wrong. 

I believe all life is valuable to God and should be to us.  I believe killing an innocent unborn baby is reprehensible and is murder.  It is genocide and infanticide, which is foreign to my faith and politics.  If you believe that abortion is acceptable, you might want to kick me to the curb because I believe it is murder. 

If you support gay marriage and believe that ministers and churches should be forced to perform those ceremonies without regard for their core religious convictions, we have very little where we can find common ground.  If two people of the same sex want to get married in a civil ceremony, they can or should be able to.  I believe their sexual preference and practice violate God’s moral and natural law. Some may consider that statement a bit compromising.

I believe that marriage is between one man and one woman.  If you believe ministers and churches should be legally forced to perform ceremonies for same-sex couples, you might want to kick me to the curb because I believe that violates biblical truth and the Constitution.  You have the right to believe what you believe, and what you do in your own home in privacy is a matter between you, your conscience, and God, but if you drag me into it, you have violated my rights, and we have no common ground.

If you support gun control, gun bans, or gun confiscation stripping legal, law-abiding citizens of their constitutional and biblical right of self-defense, we are on opposite sides of the issue and have no common ground.  The 2^nd Amendment was not written to protect hunting or with hunting in mind.  It had nothing to do with deer but the right and obligation of citizens to defend their homes and families and to give the citizens a means to defend against a rogue tyrannical government attempt. 

If you insist on calling the AR-15 an assault rifle when it is nothing of the sort, we have no common ground.  A military assault rifle has the capability and capacity to be either one bullet at a time or fully automatic.  The AR15s that citizens can legally own do not have that capacity. 

The statistical data does not support the need to ban long guns, and the Constitution prohibits banning all firearms.  We have imposed laws restricting and limiting the ability to own a fully automatic weapon.  Your diatribe, rhetoric, and paranoia will only lead to more crime and gun violence, rendering citizens vulnerable to abuse.  If that is your position, as is held by politicians such as Joe Biden, Barack Hussein Obama, and Robert Frances O’Rourke, who envisioned himself as the future governor of Texas, we have no agreement. 

We have no common ground if you believe it is justifiable to punish people for success and tax citizens into oblivion to provide entitlements and freebies for many unwilling to work.  I begrudge no person anything they have earned or inherited.  If you were fortunate or misfortunate enough to have inherited a fortune, that is your lot in life.  It is not mine, and you owe me nothing. 

However, if I have earned, developed, amassed, or inherited it, I want no one and no government taking it.  They have no right to even one nickel of it without my consent and without proper representation for that money taken.  If you support the toxic liberal view of taxation, you might as well kick me to the curb. We have no path to walk together.

We hold diametrically opposite views if you support allowing people not legally qualified to vote to cast a ballot in our elections.  A deceased person is not a legitimate voter.  A person who is not a legal citizen is not a legitimate voter.  An underage person, a felon, or otherwise disqualified from voting is not a legitimate voter.

A person should be able to vote if they meet the qualifications such as identification and citizenship.  They should be able to vote in their state or precinct ONCE, not dozens of times in various precincts or states.  If you find that acceptable, we have no common ground to walk together.

If you believe, as Joe Biden has stated, that ANTIFA is just an idea and that the riots, looting, mayhem, and destruction over the several years by BLM and other activist groups are justified, we have no agreement.  If you support the censorship being practiced by Big Tech, we have no common ground.  If you support the repeated attempts to make everything that disagrees with the Liberal Ideological position hate speech and banned, then we have no common ground. 

If you believe that America should coddle despots and terrorists, hoping to appease them, then we have no common ground.  If you believe pastors should be forced to submit their sermons to some government oversight board for approval before preaching, then feel free to kick me to the curb; we are in total disagreement. If you believe being white is a mortal sin, kick this Caucasian to the curb.  I will not apologize for my ethnicity.  God decided it, and I celebrate who I am; you should celebrate who you are.

If you believe that citizens must live under a mandate to satisfy the unverified claims of the Climate Change alarmists, then we have no common ground.  If you believe that America should adopt the United Nations Agenda 21 plan and embrace the Sustainable Development ideology, then we have no place for agreement. 

I believe God created a very sturdy and viable planet, and He knew everything we could and would do.  We should be good stewards of the environment, but it is not as fickle as the alarmists would have us believe.  Fossil fuels are not the enemy but a blessing from God.

If you believe those things, I do not wish to strip you of the right to believe those things and will discuss them with you so long as that is done civilly, without personal insults and name-calling.  If you resort to insults and call for my destruction physically, emotionally, politically, and economically, we have no basis for agreement.  We can discuss the matter if you genuinely want to find common ground, but if you want me to cede to your views, we cannot continue. 

As long as I have breath, I will stand for Faith, Family, and Freedom!  I will defend your right to enjoy your inalienable rights and not seek to censor you.  I will seek to defeat you at the voting booth and fight for legislation that protects and defends our inalienable rights.  I am willing to allow you to live your life and ask that you allow me to live mine without fighting a war to achieve that objective.  I have only scratched the surface and could and probably should include dozens of other things.

God bless you, and God bless America!
