I guess I live in a country of Whiners. Crybaby pissed off yahoos who think the world or the government or their parents owes them an apology for the injustices done to them daily. Take a few hours to listen to hot talk radio, you know, if you can tear yourself away from the trolls on social media. Angry angry people, raging against \u2026 well, near as I can tell, just about anything and everything. These aren\u2019t the folks living in their cars, the ones working minimum wage, the people without health care \u2026 naw, they\u2019re doing fine. Just not fine enough! They got axes to grind, they have beefs with the System, they\u2019re unhappy and someone else is to blame. That someone needs to be punished. <\/p>\n
Gas costs too much \u2026 even though they drive SUV\u2019s that get piss poor mileage. They want a house bigger than their parents\u2019. They want cheaper groceries but not the stuff they\u2019d have to prepare themselves. They think people on welfare are stealing their taxes. They think the cities are cesspools of crime and corruption. They think minorities and folks with different definitions of sex are morally bankrupt. Immigrants are taking their jobs, immigrants are getting free health care and food stamps. Immigrants are replacing them!<\/p>\n
The libraries are filled with pornography. Drag queens are corrupting their kids. Transgender predators are stalking the women\u2019s bathrooms. Drug addicts are pampered and criminals are let loose. Moslems want sharia law in their state, elections are being stolen, the country\u2019s gone to hell. Even our ex-President complains constantly how poorly he\u2019s been treated, the worst in the history of the world. This from a guy who claims to be one of the richest smartest most successful people on the planet! If he has gripes, how pitiful yours are. <\/p>\n
He promises to be your Warrior, your Avenger, your Salvation. He feels your pain. More than you do by a factor of a thousand. Pain? You couldn\u2019t handle his pain! <\/p>\n
So much for self-reliance. So much for that much touted Can-Do gumption. So much for the myth of the tough guy American. Naw, we\u2019re pathetic victims now, mewling whiners, aggrieved citizens. Look at what they\u2019ve done to us, the bad mean people. Better to hide in our houses and listen to the other whiners. Nothing we can do. Other than gripe and complain. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
