Okay on the subject of things to get upset about, this would rate (scale of 1 to 10) a zero; there is a lot more stuff to get the vapors over. However, it does chap my hide to be compared to Wingnuts in Tri-cornered hats with dangling teabags; simply because I happen to be almost 73, am a Caucasian, and sometimes angry and/or outraged. I am a Democrat, and lean Liberal on most issues. When it comes to our People in Uniform and Veterans; they have my wholehearted support.
There are things that make me mad; probably the same stuff that bothers you. Follow below the squiggly thing for more.
A short list of stuff that pisses me off:
The total lack of respect for POTUS; we have a great President, who is strong, intelligent, thoughtful and has our best interests at heart. Yea, he ain't perfect, but who the hell is? In all my years I cannot recall a President more disrespected. His Beautiful wife ,also gets a lot of disrespect. We have a lovely, intelligent, stylish First Family, with two adorable daughters, who happen to be a different color than I am; all of us should be thrilled.
The total lack of respect for Women; from their Health choices to equal pay. Suppose one could write volumes on the stuff ladies have to put up with; am not going to venture into the territory of Vaginal Ultrasounds, etc, etc.
Chicken-hawks, many who never served, who constantly beat the war drum. Seems to me that is all about putting more money in the hands of a few at the expense of our young men and women being killed and maimed. I suspect G W Bush, Dick Cheney and their ilk made Billions off of Iraq.
The inequality of how the money seems to flow upward, leaving 99% of the people with a very small piece of the pie.
Wealthy Politicians and their even wealthier backers who deny the neediest among us the basic necessities for a healthy, happy, productive life. I often think of the line from "A Christmas Carol": "Are there no Prisons, no workhouses?"; whenever I read of another denial of Healthcare, SNAP Benefits, etc., etc.
You get the picture, and thanks if you have read this far; I'm not saying anything earth shattering, or even vaguely interesting.
Next time you see an "old white guy", who may be cranky, just please don't make the assumption he's a Tea Bagging, anti gubmint RWNJ; he just might be a pissed off "Librul".
