ARE WE WOKE ENOUGH, YET?

“Wake up?” “Wake up and smell the roses!” “Wake up! You are sleeping your life away!” “Wake up! We could have been there by now if you had gotten up on time!” “Wake up! You are burning daylight.”

All of us at one time or another have heard the above especially when we were children. It always referred to time and the wasting of time. If someone used those expressions it was because they didn’t want us to miss something they thought was important. To be “woke” meant that your eyes were open and your brain was functioning and able to comprehend the obvious. I am afraid that today being “woke” means you are unable to comprehend the obvious.

Today being “woke” means that you have heard and accepted the radical, left wing ideas for this country.

For instance, we are only “woke” if we accept a man, who is wearing a woman’s bathing suit, competing in women’s swimming competitions. Then when “he” wins and claims that “he” was the fastest woman and thus won we are all supposed to cheer. The left doesn’t like when you point out the biological fact that men have a distinct advantage over women especially when it comes to upper arm strength and endurance. Men have larger lungs and hearts and thus they have a more effective oxygen delivery system throughout their bodies.

When a man who has decided he is a woman becomes the first four star admiral for the United States Public Health Service Commissioned Corp we are once again supposed to cheer. We are not to think about the real biological women who worked hard in the medical field who were qualified to fill that position but didn’t get the position because we have a “woke” President.

If you are “woke” you will just shrug when a teenage boy claims he identifies as a female and is allowed to use the girl’s bathrooms at school and even shower in the girl’s shower. When we are at a store or restaurant and our little girl needs to use the restroom and a male walks in we are to just smile and accept this as our way of life.

“Woke” people ignore the female prisoners who are being raped in prison by the males that have been brought in because they identify as female.

We are supposed to be “woke” enough to accept President Biden’s threat to end the lunch program for students unless schools allow boys to use girls rest rooms and to affirm any student that decides they are trans. The schools are also to allow the teaching of sexual issues to children as young as kindergarten and the parents are to have no say in this matter. The fact that parents pay the taxes that keep these schools open does not matter. Parents need to say okay, cut off the program, and then they need to go buy some peanut butter and jelly and send their children to school. Millions of children were raised on peanut butter and jelly or bologna sandwiches and turned out be contributing members of society.

When school boards decide that parents don’t need to know if their child is claiming they are confused about their gender, no matter their age, we are to just smile because any one who is “woke” knows that teachers should be making major decisions regarding our children not the parents. Those of us who are not “woke” are for school choice. It is obvious why “woke” people don’t want school choice. The left has made our public schools indoctrination centers for their radical ideas. In the meantime I suggest that parents talk to their children every day and ask them what their teacher talked about. Check out any papers they bring home and any assignments they are given.

There have always been people who are confused for whatever reason regarding their gender. Many Native American tribes called them Two-spirit people. They were limited in the jobs they could do in the tribe. This was probably because if you can’t decide if you are a man or a woman then maybe you shouldn’t be making big decisions that can affect the entire tribe. That makes sense to me.

Despite Roe v Wade being over turned and the decision being given to the states, which I fully agree with, there is still the “woke” issue of how far into the pregnancy can an abortion be performed. A couple of states have already stated that there will no limits on when the abortion can be performed. You are not “woke” if you don’t agree to abortion being an option up until the day the baby would be born. In my world that is called infanticide.

We are not “woke” if we get annoyed that every TV show and movie has to have the ubiquitous gay couple. We are supposed to be embarrassed if we consider marriage to be one man and one woman.

We are not “woke” if we don’t agree with the Climate Change extremists. You are only “woke” if you are willing to pay through your nose for gasoline. You are “woke” if you listen to the fools in Washington or even better the wealthy Hollywood elites, who fly private jets, when they say we need to pay exorbitant prices for gasoline to run our vehicles and to heat our homes. We are to suffer silently and go about our lives and smile while we are doing what they dictate as gospel. Then there is the “woke” belief that we should all listen to and bow to the ideas of a teenager, Greta Thunberg. Seriously, I didn’t give much credence to my own teenagers when they gave me their opinion on relevant issues so why would you think I would listen to a teenager who thinks she knows all there is to know about Climate Change. I find it hard to believe she knows much about life at all but I have a feeling somebody is using her and making some serious money doing just that.

We are “woke” if we believe that criminals are victims and the police are the evil men and women who want to abuse the electorate. We are “woke” if we excuse mobs of people destroying businesses and homes because they feel the police over stepped while doing their job. I guess I am not “woke” because I believe if a police officer does something illegal or over steps then he or she should be investigated, however, I believe that the vast majority of law enforcement personnel do their jobs with integrity. If you are “woke” you understand that liberal DA’s are what is best for this country. After all, what could be better for any community than allowing criminals who commit horrendous felonies to get out of jail without posting bail? We all know how these criminals are so grateful they immediately start to turn their lives around.

Now, I come to my favorite “woke” issue. A woman decides she wants to be a man and has a double mastectomy. She then gets pregnant. I am not going to speculate how this happened, but pregnant she is and when she has the baby the news is that a man had a baby. No, a human being with a uterus, thus a female gave birth. The fact that she dresses like a man does not change the fact that the person who gave birth was a biological female. This a given because only biological females can give birth.

So, I ask the following question: Am I the only person who feels like they live inside of the book, “The Emperor Has No Clothes” by Hans Christian Anderson? Is it going to take a child to point out the obvious? Will it take a child one day to yell out loud, “That’s not a woman, that’s a man!” In the meantime, until a child points out the obvious, we need to use the one tool that we have available to us and that is the ballot box. In November we need to vote for candidates that will uphold the premises of basic biology, help to make America energy independent once again, respect law enforcement, enforce laws, respect parental rights and not kowtow to the radical left.
