I mean really every day it is something lately.
The worse things happen repeatedly and in ever increasing rapid progression.
Protest, Cop Killings, Killing Cops, local news is death upon death, and to top it all off we have the worse candidates for President in history. I am serious maybe some of the guys right before the Civil War were worse but come on. Trump and Clinton a Clown and Crook. How does that even happen?
This is all not good and it does not appear to be getting better.
Looks like we'll have to wait for the next patch
More like reboot.
Ones a nationalist the other is a communist
....and the there is Pokemon GO! 🙂
We're simply due for a meltdown as a nation. We are such a young nation compared to the rest of the industrialized world and they have all been through this cycle many times. Just because we were founded on different principles and had a clear eye on what freedom meant doesn't mean that can't be lost over time. It's obvious that such perspective on freedom has already been lost.
The states most responsible for our freedoms are now the ones now least 'free'.
Colleges/Universities have long been bastions of liberal thinking, but our failure as a culture was allowing that bias to not just creep into K-12, but to entirely dominate it and allow a collective indoctrination that has resulted in entire generations of people who blame America first, feel entitled to something without earning it, and completely buy into the idea that intent matters more than results.
We have been a country long enough now that the politicians meant to serve us now expect us to serve them. They have become the nobility class which fermented our revolution in the first place.
I've realized that even in the US it's possible to gather enough of the uneducated and willfully ignorant and tell them how bad their life is and how much better it will be if we just get rid of all the rich people and their corrupt corporations. That's exactly what happened in Russia, in China, in Cuba, in Venezuela... the list goes on.
As a country we've been at war with Islam since the Barbary coast pirates at the time of our nation's founding. It's not going to go away and there's no resolution that doesn't end in a lot of killing one way or the other. I'm not calling for a war on Islam, but the idea of 'moderate Islam' is a farce given that upwards of 70% of alleged moderate Muslims support sharia law and until we collectively recognize that challenge, we'll win nothing.
And last, but not least, racism. Race baiters like Al Sharpton and Louis Farrakahn have been stirring the post for decades to keep their money machine alive. The obvious lies about #blacklivesmatter movement don't matter because humanity prefers emotion to logic. Yes, there are incidents of white cops mistreating blacks. There are MORE cases of white cops mistreating whites, but again, facts don't matter. The us vs them mentality of the urban black community has been entrenched for generations because of drugs and other crime which infests those communities, but we can't talk about that because that's racist.
I use to fret over what can be done, but in the end, I realize human nature is going to run its course. All I can do is be prepared for it when it reaches that final destination of impact.
Perhaps no one will actually read this entire rant, but that's ok - it felt good getting it out.
Washington it is broken, it doesn't much matter who is driving the bus over the cliff, the result will be the same.
The only real difference is Hillary putting 3 -4 more liberal judges on the court.
Just the other day Ginsberg said she thought the court got Hellor vs The District of Columbia wrong and would like a chance to revisit it.
You know the one where the judges said 5 to 4 that the right to bear arms was an individual right not a collective one.
Give Hillary 4 years to pack the court and it will be illegal to own a firearm in this country in 10 years.
That's definitely one of the biggest reasons to do whatever it takes to keep Hellary out of office. If more liberal judges get appointed to SCOTUS, we're in for absolute Socialism, leading to some form of Communism/Fascism, I'm convinced.
I'm also convinced the only real solution to the problems in DC is one that has been gaining traction very slowly over the years, and that is an Article V - Convention of the States. It's only happened one time in our history, in 1787. Since then, it's been attempted several times and was nearly successful in the 60's, 70's and 80's. There are currently several movements attempting to bring about a Convention of States, and if you're interested in some information, I recommend going to conventionofstates.com and reading the information available there.
Clinton could not pull off full communist state or even a hard like socialism. She wants a modern feudalism where we worker bees keep working while the ruling class does as they please. WAIT A MINUTE!!!!
