Why is This So Hard?

I realize I haven't posted on here in a while. There is a reason this blog has the name that it does. I don't often have the need to vent this much anger. GEEZ-OH-FUCKING-PETE PEOPLE!!!!!!!! Okay, calmly the subject of my anger has to do with the unabashed parent-blaming going on over the horrible death of little Lane Graves. Really people? What did they do wrong? Spend hard earned money to take their children to Disney World, let their kids play on the white sand 'beach,' oh, or let the baby stick his toes in the water? What? As a tourist destination for people from all over the world they(Disney) have an obligation to provide guests with a reasonable expectation of safety. Their spokespersons have said they have a well staffed wildlife control department. Yet five alligators were killed out of that body of water. Five, okay, it is Florida. Florida has gators and gators, well they go pretty much where ever they want.That being said, if you are a tourist resort, you don't let the gators stay where they could present a danger to the guests.
At one time, long ago, in the dark ages of the late sixties, all of the area around Disney belonged to the gators, snakes, bears, bobcats, panthers, and all the other wild creatures of Florida. Then, Disney came and drained the swamps, cleared the woods, and pretty much destroyed one of Central Florida's wilderness areas. That is just a bit of history so that people know, it wasn't always pavement and amusement parks.
There are rumors around that Disney knew about the gators, but 'rich tourists' liked to feed them, so they let them stay in the lagoon. No fence, no gator warning signs, nothing that would say danger to an unsuspecting tourist. As parents they were more worried that the child would fall in the water , than anything else.
Look, When a parent does something stupid, i.e. take their child on a drug run, leave them in a hot car, take a nap while the two year old takes a walk, I'm probably the first to jump on it, but these poor parents were present and watchful, they were just unaware of the danger. They'll always and forever carry emotional baggage associated with his awful death. Do you really think you can make them feel worse? Really, because I don't.

Liberal Redneck - The Truth About Trump

Romney and Ryan The "NEW MAJORITY AGENDA?"

Listening to Ryan speak at the news conference announcing him as the veep choice for Romney. He is a scary individual because he spouts platitudes while he cuts the throat of the unprotected. The people cheering him on do not hear the unspoken threats he is making to the very young, very old, and the very poor. We all understand the very young, but they are after all the young of the "unproductive, unmotivated, dredges of American society." "They are unimportant and therefore undeserving of consideration. The very old, they should have prepared better for their retirement. Remained in the workforce as drones. Gone out in the wilderness and died. The poor? they breed like rabbits. Their mortality rates even without health care will provided enough slave labor to keep the prosperity of the very rich intact." These are the between the lines of the platitudes and reassuring words he spouts so easily.

I have said recently in some comment post or other that if we find the head of this odious and poisonous snake and cut it off the body will die. The very words "New Majority Agenda" sound way to much like "The Superior Race" for my comfort. Romney is certainly not the brains. Ryan while he is more intelligent and probably harder to control is not the head of the snake either. In fact I can not imagine even after intense investigation who it could be. This is important to the survival of the country. Their greed will destroy us in the end if someone doesn't fight back. Their hunger for power and control will use us up and toss us away like so much garbage by the wayside. To whom do we present the crown of supposed superiority? 

I do not wish to sound like an alarmist. Whining about the issue will not solve the problem. This is an avenue for me to get it all straight in my head. if you read this read it with that in mind. I do not care whether you agree or disagree. I am not concerned with the feelings or traditional polite etiquette of the moral or majority masses. I refuse the usual labels and brands people like to associate with groups who oppose their particular beliefs. I am not conservative, liberal, moral, amoral, believer or nonbeliever. I am me. I am trying to live my life with peace and dignity. I do not wish to fight, but I will not lie down. I will bend, but I will not break.

The search continues for the head of this viper of doom. The most likely sources of possible candidates will be in the wealthiest industries. It is no one person I search for, but many, with money. The proof that they are bad for the future of the country lies in a simple fact. They are willing to spend millions, maybe even billions to obtain total control of government. Not one penny will they spend however to help make a better government. 

They come in all shapes and sizes. Their geographic range limited only by national boundaries. Each politician must choose their label; Democrat or Republican, conservative and liberal, which side, this or that? They pick a side, take a stand, and then they shift like so much loose sand. Such is the politics of man. 


Humans are a fickle breed, inconsistent, insincere, 'well bless your heart' or 'thank you dear,' carry different meanings when said with a sneer. Humans say what they want and hear what they hear. Haters, debaters, wackos, and saints, are all the same; because at election time we all go insane.


State by state they peddle wares, beliefs, and concerns, but it's buyer beware. Don't even think of disagreeing, oh don't you dare; because if you do, then you should know, they have a label just for you. Now you are an activist, militant, or domestic terrorist too. 


When one is very good with words or deeds, in the minds of the believers the opponent plants the sleepy seeds of discontent. When they wake up only then will they wonder where their champion went. The newly elected was not your choice, but you choked and lost your voice.
