Cody Pogue on SOTU: It makes me so sad that an evil little rich man …

February 6, 2019 By Cody Pogue

It makes me so sad that an evil little rich man who wants to steal from working people, pollute the environment, deport our neighbors who grew up in this country, cut wages from working people, cut funding to education, cut research into life saving science and medicine, and prevent sick people from going to the doctor simply can stand up and lie and pretend people like me support late-term abortion and open borders. It’s further sad that otherwise good people will believe his lies and support horrible policies that will do extreme damage to their own lives, their children’s lives, and the future of our planet simply because they believe the awful lies this man tells.

Let me be very clear. I support late-term abortion only when the life of the mother is at risk or when the fetus is non-viable. You are welcome to disagree with me and believe the mother should have to die so the fetus can live, but please do not lie and pretend I believe people should kill babies as they are being born. That is nonsense and it’s a lie straight out of the pit of hell. I believe we should provide citizenship to our neighbors who have lived here for a long time and I believe we should continue the immigration policies passed by President Johnson back in 1965. But I do not believe we should suddenly throw open the borders and let everyone in. Please stop lying and pretending this is the case. Nobody believes that. Also, please stop lying and pretending undocumented people who live in our neighborhoods are brutal murderers and gang members. That is not true either.

I care about the future of our country. So many other people see politics as some sort of a game to be won at all cost and they are destroying everything in the name of winning their game. It is shameful.

About Cody Pogue

I was raised in a blue collar family in Northeast Harris County. I spent my weekends at my grandparents’ farm where I learned the value of hard work, the love of family, and the beauty of nature.
On social issues, I am mostly libertarian. On economic, education, environmental, and social justice issues I tend to be a liberal from the worldview of John Rawls. When it comes to technology, science, and infrastructure, I believe we should push forward with great determination, but maintain a moral standard that we do not let progress destroy who we are and what we value. I believe in elevating the rhetoric of politics, learning from our mistakes, and working with others in a spirit of compromise. That all being said, I am a pragmatist, believing we should often put aside our perfect ideologies in order to solve the real life problems of a complex and dangerous world.
