The more I learn the more enraged I become |
|
If it is not the wars it is the economy , I am not an expert on either .
Then comes the poison pet food and The GMO crop rage . I think back on the 70's where all lidded foods had to have protective seals . look for the pin holes folks . it's maddening stuff .
Then there are the injured vets treated like garbage and the threats pending on Iran .
I am told to chill out , go out for a walk or get away from the news .
I am told I am not alone and I know this .
It seems just about every issue you look at there are only the flaws to be seen .
So should I sit back and say , go ahead and ship out all the jobs , buy from China , let the poor suffer , forget about New Orleans , you didn't vote for bush so it's not your fault . Should I trust the dems and just hope they do what is right , should I not become upset when the news is nothing more than Anna Nichole or rows of young blond bimbos perched as news casters .
All I really want is the truth and the facts and the more I find them the more rage I feel until it becomes unbearable .
I have never disliked people as much as I do now for what they do and for what they say and what they ignore . I almost wish people would wear either blue or red uniforms so you could tell who to avoid . I have not been able to convert one repug on their views so I have given up on that effort . If I get one more of those fred flintstone goof smiles I may resort to a swift slap to their face .

6. Funny that we all have the same first thought. |

If you don't have a drinking habit, it might be worthwhile cultivating one-it is a good use for alcohol, besides cleaning keyboard keypads. "Should I trust the dems and just hope they do what is right , should I not become upset when the news is nothing more than Anna Nichole or rows of young blond bimbos perched as news casters ."
The answer is not just to trust dems, but to install them in office and then stay on their asses, 24/7.
It does seem, now, when a huge outrage cloud clogs up the liberal/progressive blogs and BBSs, we are getting through to the congress connivers. They are demonstrating, pretty handily, why just going for the throat and starting "impeachment investigations" is unlikely to be as good an approach as the ones they are using, namely, starting a new set of hearings and investigations for each new ethical fog as it comes up and letting the public outrage build until there is an overwhelming outcry to "t'row da bums out!"

7. Yes dammit. Lately I am constantly pissed off |
|
everything is just so very wrong.
Count me in on that drinking party you guys are having. Make sure we order the beer by the pitcher. Mugs are just not going to be enough to get us through this.

Every day's scandal is worse than the last. I am pouring a Guiness Extra Stout for all my friends here. The wheels are totally coming off of this misAdministration so hang in there. It will be so good to feel pride for this country again.

9. how hard it is to build something.... |
|
even a corner store biz requires immense sacrifice to get it on even keel where it is profitable-anyone who's started a biz knows 90 percent of the effort goes unsung, yet the american people allowed a 3rd rate actor (reagan) to assume highest elected office in the land! It defied sense. Even brutal power pols like Nixon never truly thrived in office, and the guy barely slept! Johnny Carson could joke that reagan left behind his workday schedule in green room after he visited the Tonight Show: the schedule showed that Tuesdays were reserved for 'nap'...though funny, in a falling-off-a-ladder sense, it still made light of the fact being president is probably toughest job on earth, and an old man who'd once been a male model just wasn't fit for it, no matter how nice he was. Same with junyer bush; or rather 100 times what pertained for reagan, if only because the S and L scandal or irancontra/the kal 007 shootdown COULD become an Enron/ 911-Iraq war! It defies understanding that the biz community are kneejerk supporters of reagan/bush despite fact that IT JUST DOESN'T MAKE SENSE if considered even with a freeper's wit! Clinton did the nytimes crossword puzzle with a pen during pauses during meetings, and Clinton, with his VP Al Gore, was basically smeared in an organised media campaign. They worked routine 18 hour days, and left surpluses and help wanted ads all over the place! Where does the linkage between a reagan/junyer bush type presidency and a Carter/Clinton presidency occur? Does anyone know? It's no wonder the newsmedia promotes dennis miller, a cheap hack bully, or a glen beck etc, in light of the pattern of....what is it, self hatred? The same system insisted reagan/bush over provably better alternative! WHY? Maybe now, if someone will answer this curious question, the survival instinct will force something like common sense to get up off its arse.... and why was it setting on its arse in 1st place?

11. Reading the newspaper is the worst. |
|
Story after story hits you in the face like a fist - constant lies, crime, and un-American policies from these enemies of the state that we have in the White House. It has made me mad every morning for over six years now. I want out!

12. Yes a few drinks may be in order |
|
After all the daily bad news fills my mind perhaps a few drinks may wash or as least dilute the rage a bit .
I keep watching Link TV on weekends which only adds to the abominations going on around the globe and it is a 24/7 accurance , literally .
I try to take a break but even the world outside my apartment is somewhat surreal , an invisable , silent sort of inner battle since the view has changed so very much . Sure , people move about going here and there possibly with a purpose although it appears a sleepwalking from my point of view .
I feel if I had a pair of those special sunglasses I may see things for what they really are , not sure I am ready for this but then knowing the who and why and how this admin and the criminal enterprise operates even on a laymens perspective does bring you into an horrific light of self loss .
Do I make sense here or an I already to far gone ?
