by Rod Williams - As publisher of A Disgruntled Republican, I often post items that I think may be of interest to the conservative, Republican, libertarian, or the greater community. Posting of a press release or an announcement of an event does not necessarily indicate an endorsement.
Of the above personalities, some I have very little knowledge of and no impression of. Some I have a favorable impression, such as Tori Venable of Americans for Prosperity. One of the personalities, I have a very negative impression of. That is Laurie Cardoza Moore.
If you recall when a Muslim congregation was attempting and eventually was successful in building a mosque in Murfreesboro, Laurie Cardoza-Moore was a leading opponent trying to stop that from happening. The argument against it was that Islam is not really a religion and that Muslims were going to be building a terrorist training center in Murfreesboro. I am not comfortable with someone who claims the world's largest religion is not really a religion and who wants to deny First Amendment protection to other Americans. The First Amendment also applies to Muslims.
Today, I am more cautious of groups or people that identify as "patriotic" or "conservative," just as I am cautious of groups that promote "social justice." A lot of people labeling themselves as "patriotic" or "conservative" may be people promoting nut-job conspiracy theories, spreaders of the big lie of the stolen election, or bigots.
It is my hope that the conservative movement will denounce nut-jobbery and bigotry and return to a movement promoting the timeless truths of conservatism. Conservatives should not share a stage with people like Laurie Cardoza Moore.
