Stand where you stand.

Love me.
Hate me.
I don’t really care.

All I can ask of any man is to be consistent with what he states he values.

If the 2nd Amendment is the second for a reason than the 1st is also first, for a reason.
If not all cops are bad and we shouldn’t judge them as so, then all protesters aren’t bad and we shouldn’t treat them as so.
If lockdown was wrong for COVID then wishing for Martial Law now is wrong.

This goes both ways.

I will stand up for all of our rights, for every man.
I will support good cops and peaceful protestors. I will denounce and condemn bad cops and rioters and looters.
I will be against the lockdown of Americans out of fear regardless of what it is.

What I stand for isn’t for a particular party.
What I believe isn’t contingent on your approval or what is popular.
My values remain the same, regardless of the tide of public opinion.

I am asking you to do the same.
If so, even if we disagree, I salute the courage it takes to make that stand.
That courage is what makes America great.
