Convictions!

   Convictions are developed over time, as sets of principles that are the determinant aspects of individual human character. No individual can adopt the real or perceived convictions of others as their own; those are beliefs, which always requires a leap of faith as appose to personal knowledge and are absent individual intelligent development.

   The idea that one should have the strength of their own convictions implies only that they have no convictions, all true conviction are strength of character, the words, “Beliefs and convictions” have no associated meanings, nor can they both exist in the same space or mind-set, they are distinct and separate. Convictions are supposedly immovable mind sets, thus if no attack on ones convictions will cause a rise to violence, that only means you have none. Whereas violence is the final act of diplomatic defense of ones convictions as developed and established core human principles.

   Within the human mind, an attack on ones convictions is the crossing of a line that is an intolerable act, in plain language if you attack ones convictions you attack the character of the individual, rendering them as persona non grata or non-entities among humanity.

   This means if the difference between belief’s and convictions are not identifiable the individual becomes defenseless against the ignorance and diversity of belief systems, which reflects only the extremes of human nature absent the principled convictions of our human character.

   The character of the individual is established within the mind and is seldom shown openly except when challenged or under assault and today is rising in a crescendo among the American people because it is under assault by its own government, under the control of a alien ideology that stands apposed to the convictions of its own citizens and the very core values and principles that are the contents of those same said convictions.

   The founding of America and our nations true history is where our convictions come from regardless the passions of our individual diversity or the tolerance of foreign ideologies we have shown, our convictions remain as strictly our American character, in taters it may be, but individually unassailable by others in perpetuity!

   People that live their lives under the pressure of belief systems, play the game of pick and choose and what to believe at any particular time dependant on their individual passions of the moment, like what we call eleventh hour religion when they fear death is knocking on there door, or love or hate someone or thing for the personal advantages they believe they may acquire by doing so. These are people absent any true convictions or the personal character that represents them, and in my judgment are pseudo Americans and have zero redeeming value to society or America.
