Here’s why. . .
As an openly Conservative writer, it takes courage and bravery. There’s not doubt there is an “echo-chamber” of Leftist, Liberal thought. It’s also disturbing as I read more and more Liberal thought on here, the way in which Liberals celebrate the demise of fellow humans that may have a differing view of theirs.
Liberals? Should you really celebrate the death of “Passport Bros”?

To “toast” to the death of “passport bros” or the audacity of a “tradwife” to love her life and now the potential that Conservative men are lonely! Let’s face it, every human will go through a bout of loneliness in their life. Some have the strength, desire and ability to breakthrough; others just don’t. To celebrate one’s loneliness as deserving and without compassion; is the very reason I am proud not to be Liberal and why many men agree with me.
My loneliness was borne out of being raised a twin my entire childhood life with a “lifetime” partner or the unexpected “divorce” my wife threw upon me and our two boys under the age of four. Thank god I can say, “I’m not lonely; rather alone.”

What I came to realize in my alone time, is how I was raised to be resilient and to resist the urge to live a life on loneliness. How did this occur?
I was one of five children raised in an Italian immigrant family in a suburban, very close to rural, neighborhood outside of a very large western city. Farming, greenhouses and blue collar businesses were rampant. A very large brewery surrounded the town and attracted city-folk to the quaint living our life afforded. We were by today’s standard raised in a very Conservative lifestyle and family. Values that were taught to us that hardly exist but is preserved mostly by Conservative, rural and suburban families. An urban lifestyle can never teach the values of what we were taught without huge effort or the rich urbanites heading off to their ranch in Montana, winery in Napa or coastal enclave in The Hamptons.
My dad was a homebuilder, architect and carpenter who was fiercely independent, made a very good living and put five kids through college while supporting a wife and all the luxuries life provided in the ‘70’s and ‘80’s. My dad was a dichotomy — a blue collar carpenter who went to college to become a white collar architect. A Navy Veteran of the Korean war, he taught us all the “tricks of trades” from kindergarten on up.
If we weren’t building fences or finishing basements, we were changing oil or tires on every car we owned or tilling the soil and planting seeds in our backyard cropland. Our beds were made every morning and clothes were spotless. Was it abuse? Hell no! It was structure every child needs that is sorely lacking in modern society beginning with Millennials and on to Gen Z. If we wanted a car at 16, we were expected to do chores around the house, get jobs or find odds and ends with neighbors to earn our share of the prize at the end of the rainbow. My twin and I would bang on neighbor’s doors to mow lawn, shovel walks or clean cars.
This was a kids’ job!!

An Italian mother who baked her own bread, stewed her own soups, churned her own noodles and brewed her own sauce. We were all expected to do the same and be in the kitchen if we weren’t with dad. Growing up, my mom could cook for a hundred and love it! Classmates at school, dad’s employees from work, priests from church and the “down and out” from town all enjoyed my mother’s cooking.
Suddenly, the offspring of these two amazing parents were independent, resilient, and confident children who all grew up to be extremely successful adults in their own right. Parents who are also taking the skills, memories, and discipline taught to us and brought down to our offspring with the same results. Millennials and Gen Y offspring that do not possess an ounce of Liberalism and find them all “wussies”.
This story can be duplicated thousands of times by thousands of Conservative families that have raised strong, resilient children that don’t have time to be lonely! They are too busy to be lonely with work to do, family to raise or hobbies to enjoy; all that fulfill their lives.
As a Conservative man who is extremely successful with two small boys, tons of hobbies, and loads of skill; there is no time to be lonely!! Boys playing hockey, cultivating our crops, maintaining our car collection, swinging a hammer, or shooting our guns; life is dynamic and never dull. It is also a balance of work and play. My boys are amazing hockey players but are expected to work at the family business on weekends or do their daily chores; all at the age of seven and ten.

A sudden viral post was single women searching the aisles of Home Depot to find the perfect partner. Why? Because these men possess the strength, independence, confidence, willingness, and ability to be a strong, dependable partner to a FEMININE woman.
Think about the dichotomy of the Liberal doctrine vs. Conservative tenets. Conservatives preach, honor and live by personal responsibility, independence, family, dependability and self-reliance. These people and those closest to him/her are the ultimate drivers of the success or outcome of the individual. The Liberal doctrine which borders on Socialism relies on a “community of one” where the group is responsible, dependable and reliant for the ultimate outcome of the individual. Can we honestly say that under this doctrine, offspring of this Liberal doctrine are more prepared, resilient and responsible for the “big, bad world” that will approach them in adulthood? Not hardly. Most Gen Z and Millennials are the in the “doldrums” as they see no easy path on the road to prosperity that was promised by the Liberal cohort who lead them. Conservatives know life is not easy and up to the individual demands and tenets they were taught growing up.

If you are city-dwelling “Karen” as my boys would say; you are better off with the city-dwelling “Chad” that has no idea of this independent, difficult lifestyle. It’s no secret that our major urban areas are infested with Liberals and the commiserate problems it has festered; just look at voting statistics every two years!
Transpose the Conservative lifestyle to city-dwelling Liberal man, “Chad”. Most likely, they work their tail off (if they have a job) or are barista’s, bartenders, or servers that go home tired, unfilled, overworked, and feeling unappreciated or underpaid. Slaves to the system who are most likely up to their ears in college debt under-earning to afford an independent lifestyle; capturing any job or multiple jobs to get by. Slaves who are entrenched after earning a degree in French Poetry or East Indies Aborigines Studies that are now unemployable. With absolutely no disrespect to any of these individuals in this position, it is a sad testament to the societal demands put on these young adults with a feeling of no way out. As mentioned previously, a path to prosperity that was portrayed to them growing up looks more like a muddy trail closed to hikers. Unlike a Liberal celebrating the supposed “loneliness of Conservative men”; it’s a travesty that the majority of big city men are Liberal and stuck in this conundrum.
These “blue collar” men fix “white collar” problems.

A Liberal city-dwelling man that cannot swing a hammer, change a tire, fix a plumbing leak, and is dependent on a blue-collar Conservative tradesman to resolve his broken shower. A man like this who becomes his life: hopeless, unfilled, and depressing. These inner feelings breed a man who is really a 30-something toddler who lacks confidence, drive, and resilience who no strong, FEMININE woman would find attractive.
Suddenly the Liberal media has found it racist or you’re a “White Supremacist” if you workout, are fit and possess 6-pace abs. Who are they trying to fool? There’s ample evidence to support that most fit, gym-goers are Conservative who women would find much more attractive than the gangly beta male that only curls his frozen pizza or big gulp. These beta’s become the shreds in the meat market while the feminine, beautiful woman finds the Conservative man more attractive, equal, and on a path to adulthood with her.
Don’t workout! You might be perceived as a White Supremacist!

Ironically, my next door neighbor is a lifetime Democrat State Senator who happens to be single. How she can afford to pay all cash for a home in my neighborhood on a $118,000 annual salary, which happens to be the 4th wealthiest suburb in all of the US, is beyond me! (A future article I will dig into.) She is constantly asking me for help with a power outage, car that won’t start or broken tree limbs blocking her doorway. I, as a caring neighbor, will always oblige and help out when I can. I have asked her many times: “Isn’t it great to have a Conservative neighbor!!?” She will roll her eyes and begrudingly agree.
I hate to break it you, Conservative men are not lonely, look within your Liberal team to find the male players who really aren’t players; but lonely men. They are the ones sitting on the bench unwilling to play or at home still in bed.
In either case, we should not celebrate the men who are in this situation. Loneliness, celibacy and suicide are at record levels for men. You may not have compassion for Conservative men in this conundrum, however there are many men in your camp that deserve your attention and compassion if you have any to offer. . .
