I have to apologize, I'm on a rant

I have to apologize, Im on a rant, because I love America, the one I grew up with, not the one that is here now.

This week I have been watching the news and grinding my jaws to a point of breaking teeth.

 

OK, I am not the shapest knife in the drawer or the brightest light bulb in the package, but when my common sense tells me our government and the liberal news media is lying their backside off to us, and THE MEDIA is forcing their KOOL AID down your throat, I just want to SCREAM!

The first thought that comes to my mind is.....HOW DUMB DO YOU THINK I AM?

I have been following the "antics" by our congress and "Obummer" regarding the Federal Budget, Gun Legislation and wondering WHO TAUGHT THE MATH IN SCHOOL much less common sense? Is it the fact that once you go to college, swallow the liberal kool aid by the Socialist/Communist Professors, it sticks with you the rest of your life? Have they ever heard the words FAMILY BUDGET? You cannot keep spending more than you are making? My Daddy taught me better more than 50 years ago....keep it up...you will end up going broke, on the streets and/or BANKRUPT. Who missed this?

 

Trust me I have a Youtube Account with almost 500 videos on it. I talk about politics, sex, religion, governement, gun rights and a lot more. I can tick off people on BOTH SIDE in a New York Minute! (Republican or Democrat),

 

I witness stuff on the "border/illegal alien" issue, the Federal Debt, Gun Rights, Aborition, Civil Rights and some days just want to beat my head against the wall until it feels so good to stop. Then I ask myself....WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO COMMON SENSE?

 

I look at our elected politicans and ask myslef (most of them are lawyers, and I believe lawyers should not be allowed to run for elected office) what insititution were you educated at? Can you make up a FAMILY BUDGET and follow it, did you belong to a church growing up and learn about God and Jesus Christ...and so much more. To me it seems once they got elected, got inside the Beltway; any and all Morals, Commons Sense and decency went out the window for the sake of the Gawd Almighty Dollar and getting RE-ELECTED at ANY COST! (As their PACS follow them). Or, have I missed something? You tell me.

 

I freely admit I was raised in the 1950's and 1960's and went through the Hippy Dippy Generation (Trust no one over 30) and at at one time I was kinda "liberal" until I got married, had kids, bills, a mortgage and then REALITY hit me in the face. THIS AINT NO GAME I'M PLAYING! It's sink or swim!  Again, who missed this?

 

Trust me, in my 66 years of life, I've made more stupid mistakes than I'd like to admit to. But some days you just have to strap on a set of testicles, stand up, stick a steel rod down you backbone and (as I call it ) MAN UP, TAKE THE HEAT and be RESPONSIBLE for your actions.....seems folks in Washington DC have been neutered anymore in my views.

 

So, if I believe in God, am Pro Life, believe in being Pro Cop, the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution of the United States, and our BILL OF RIGHTS.....WHY does it seem our elected officals are trying to take it away from us and turn America into a Socialist Nation? Just asking.
