Fed Up!

 

I haven't been doing much ranting lately and that has caused a couple of occasional followers of the SandBox to ask why?  Quite frankly, I don't have much of an answer other than to say I am just fed up with the whole political situation right now.  Fed up of listening to him bitch about Hillary and her bitch about Trump and vice-versa.  Fed up with all of it! Seriously though......we are into the 21st century. We put a man on the moon. We've cured many horrible diseases, are on the verge of curing others, our tech advancements are rivaled by few, and we're one of the most well educated countries on the planet. But you're gonna sit there and tell me that Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are the best that we, as a nation, can come up with?  I'm calling bullshit on all the Clinton and Trump "homers!"

One is a lying, untrustworthy, manipulative, over bearing, and an over emotional hot mess whose actual physical health is now being called into question and the other is an ego maniac who is a smart man, but thinks the entire planet revolves around him and has no clue how the "real world" works outside of his little sphere of influence. And let's not forget the socialistic babblings of Bernie Sanders. Really people??? This is the best we can do???

Everyone wants to point fingers and blame the other side or political party or political ideology. We'll guess what..........WE ARE ALL RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS MESS. We created these monsters by voting for the same kind of politicians from both parties at every level of government for the last 50 years. The way this country was headed, this was bound to happen sooner or later.  It looks like "sooner" has won that battle. So what do we do now?   Choose the lesser of two evils? (AND YES BOTH MAJOR PARTY CANDIDATES ARE EXTREMELY TOXIC AND ARE OF VARYING DEGREES OF EVIL IN MY OPINION), totally sit out November 2016, or maybe for once take an actual serious look at 3rd and 4th party candidates that most people wrote off a long time ago?

I quite frankly don't know.......and neither, it seems, do some of the smartest people in America. As for me, I think I'll just turn the volume down on all the social media bitchers, whiners, and complainers for a bit, put on my Archie Bunker for Prez t-shirt and give some more thought to this political quandary that has no right answer.......just a lot of bad choices!  I would suggest that before election day sneaks up on us,  you take Archie's advice. "Stifle Yourself" and do the same!

Til Next Time...........

How to be a Good Liberal, April 20, 2006

Sometimes you just can't help yourself. I've been in a feisty mood all day. It all started this morning when a co-worker and I decided to t-p a fake tree sitting beside another co-workers desk. I may be a 40 something, but the little kid still comes out every once in a while. I'm still trying to figure out how I'm gonna explain that rubber monkey smoking a fake cigarette while swinging from the top branch of that fake tree. With all that "fakeness" throughout the day (LOL), the remainder of tonights blog entry seemed oh so appropriate! That said, read on...enjoy and have a great night!

21 WAYS TO BE A GOOD LIBERAL

1. You have to be against capital punishment, but support abortion on demand.
2.You have to believe that businesses create oppression and governments create prosperity.

4. You have to believe that there was no art before Federal funding.
5. You have to believe that global temperatures are less affected by cyclical documented changes in the earth's climate and more affected by soccer moms driving SUV's.

11. You have to believe that Mel Gibson spent $25 million of his own money to make The Passion Of The Christ for financial gain only.
12. You have to believe the NRA is bad because it supports certain parts of the Constitution, while the ACLU is good because it supports certain parts of the Constitution.
13. You have to believe that taxes are too low, but ATM fees are too high.
14. You have to believe that Margaret Sanger and Gloria Steinem are more important to American history than Thomas Jefferson, Gen. Robert E. Lee, and Thomas Edison & A.G. Bell.

16. You have to believe that Hillary Clinton is normal and is a very nice person.
17. You have to believe that the only reason socialism hasn't worked anywhere it's been tried is because the right people haven't been in charge.
