Here is a post I posted as a status update to my Facebook page regarding the 7 plus years I have been on Facebook voicing my political opinions -

Serious post -

I don't write these often, so pay attention. If not, unfriend away.

This post is for every single person who has written me inbox over the last 7 years and told me how much they admire me, or respect me for speaking my mind the way I do, and saying the things I say.
They say to me via these various inbox messages things like "I wish I could say the things that you say, but I can't because of my job, or my this, or my that." They tell me how much respect they have for me for having the courage to "stand up" for what I believe in.

Guess what? They're all right about me, but what they fail to realize is that by not being like me, bad guys win. We live in a Constitutional Republic, where we have many rights and freedoms. Many more than almost any country on earth. Freedoms like freedom of speech. By not exercising that very freedom for fear of persecution for this or that, you are, by way of default, giving up that right. Why?

Why do you so easily want to give away what your ancestors fought so hard to provide for you? Because you are so comfortable with a financial lifestyle that you will forego your own personal beliefs to maintain that lifestyle? Isn't that awfully shallow? And cheap? Everyone has a price, but you should realize you're worth more than to be manipulated by others.

I wish people would stop writing me their thoughts, and start writing the world instead.
