The Progressive Millennial

     The Progressive Millennial apparently goes to Ivy Tech.  He is about 20, years old and has a condescending tone.  When I was asked by this student if I worship Reagan I was apparently stunned by the question.  I was stunned by the question because I knew the answer in my head.  NO.  I do not worship Reagan.  I was five when he became President.  I only know a few sound bites about the man.  I know he had a friendship with Gorbachev, his wife had a "Just say no" program that I had to sit through during school assemblies and he bombed Libya and after that I had not heard anything since the attack on Benghazi.  All things I respected about President Reagan.  I am a conservative.  I do not worship anyone other than God.  

     I explained my stance of who I was as a conservative.  I am a conservative.  I am 41, years old, a mom, husband, daughter and friend.  I believe in Jesus.  I am for smaller government and I am pro-life.  I do not buy into the idea of because you do not want the baby that it is something of a burden.  There are people out there that would be proud to give a child a home. I have a friend of mine that is also a fellow blogger who went clear across the world because God was calling her to adopt a child from Serbia.  This is love.  Love is obeying what the Holy Spirit is telling you to do.  Yes its a feeling but it is more of an action and a show of faith.  These are my beliefs as a conservative.  My faith does not make me perfect it makes me forgiven.  I am forgiven, but I am not perfect.  

     This young man had a perception of me that I honestly didn't help to dismantle by my use of language.  Yes, I am angry.  I am angry because when I debate someone who is 20 years my junior felt the need to compare me with the Trump supporters that are over the top because of their anger.  I really hate to say it, but I get the anger.  When the Progressive Millennial who is not an American and wants to leave lecturing me about my conservatism with anger and hate then I become defensive and angry as well.  There will never be a moment that I forget the looks that I see when people look at me with disgust because of my NRA MOM bumper sticker.  I do not forget the moments when my children were brought into a conversation online with malice towards me.  I do not forget reading how Dana Loesch and children were threatened.  The hate will end this country.  The Progressive Millennial will be the down fall of this country because their inability to get along in this world without a handout or a feel good government policy to get them through life has been manifested into the Bernie or Trump supporter.  I get the Trump supporter.  There is a better way to channel the angry of the country's downfall.

May God be with the candidates of both sides.
