I prefer to stay away from posting a great deal of political posts because I firmly believe that EVERYONE has a right to their own opinion. I also believe in the right to freely express that opinion. Unfortunately, too many have taken on an us vs them mentality away from political rallies and voting booths. People are basing friendships, business decisions, and family relations on whether someone shares their personal opinion. As soon as they do that, the opinion is no longer personal.
That being said, I cannot remain silent about what I have seen recently. I have seen influential Americans vocally supporting the terrorist organization of Hamas and their recent attack on Israel. It makes me shiver because it was only 22 years ago that WE were the victims of similar terrorist attacks. Would these people have supported those as well?? This is the danger we face when we allow extremists to become influential by electing them OR supporting them through financial donations or flashing their names.
I will not call out sides here because extremists are extremists. I don't care what side of the fence they're supporting politically. They are all dangerous to the United States as a whole because they are fueling the “us versus them” mentality. In closing, fight terrorism whomever they are attacking. Enjoy professional football with some Bud Light and Chik-Fil-A. Tell the terrorists and extremists that we're done letting them have a voice and controlling our lives.
