Neither.

I was expressing my appreciation for hearing the other side of the story. I dislike it when liberals and the MSM only tell the part of the story that favors their narrative. And I like to hear the part that we conservatives may be tempted to leave out as well.

I’m in favor of freedom to do what you like on your property. I’m also in favor of some sort of reasonable limits. Most of us would not like it if the neighbors had rusted-out cars covering their front lawn or if they held noisy all-night parties every night that prevented us from sleeping.

When the liberals trot out the sad-eyed children and say “It’s for the children” regarding every issue they are pushing, I find that disingenuous. I just want to make sure that we are not guilty of the same thing.

If I lived closer I would have considered joining the pitchfork protest. But I would hate to jump on such a bandwagon and then find out that I’d been suckered into something because they were only telling me the part of the story that generated sympathy for their side. I would not want to be used as a prop in something that was not a matter of principle but was only staged to line their pockets. And yes, I’m very much a capitalist, but I dislike it severely when someone pretends that something is “for the principle of it” when it is really all about money.

I like honesty. I like to hear the whole truth, not just the part that furthers someone’s particular agenda.

That's not what happened, is it? I posted the picture of the little girls at the party. Did you see the picture?
