I don’t believe in political correctness, and I’m not ashamed of using profanity to make my point. This being said, read at your own sensitivity's peril.

Trump has become a possibility because the GOP fucked up! The "Grand Old Party", decided to hobble president Obama, at any cost. These idiot assholes didn't even try to hide that this was their goal!

For the racist jackasses who feel that Obama is an undercover Al Qaeda operative, get the hell outta’ dodge with this crap! Obama has tried to forward this country away from the mess of the screwed up Bush administration, which was more the fault of Bush’s weaknesses rather than of his incompetency.

Mitch McConnell should be in prison, and every henchman who has doublecrossed our citizens should be in the same prison, with big brother Bubba and the boys, teaching them how to REALLY take it up the ass!

Trump is a sociopathetic motherfucker, but his most endearing characteristic, is his inability to shut the hell up! We always know that he’s a fucking idiot, because he’s playing to a crowd of like minded jerks!

What we need now, is a true alternative to any of the assholes who are being pushed up as being our only choices! These morons couldn’t fall off of a stool, without being read the directions, and then actually being pushed off, in order to acheive the move! I am no Hillary fan, I think she has proven to the world, that she is an elitist, and extremely disconnected from the realities of those to whom she shamelessly panders, and at the same time, puts down with her patronizing attitudes.

I shudder when I see these stupid asses running this insipid type of trash-talking, substance-less race. It makes the country look to the world, as if it is broken apart because of dimwitted, drug-addled idiots, who need a fresh morning of elctroshock therapy!

I’m sick and fucking tired, of this shit!

If you disagree, fine, write an opposing piece, but don’t be a cowardly asshole, and simply call me names, step into the pitch, especially you Trump bastards: he doesn’t give a damn, about any of you!

God help us, all.

Ailines, need to be taken to task!

Airlines are complicit in using their almost autonomous powers, to screw over their passengers!

When you purchase a seat on a plane, you are reasonably assured to be placed into an almost "cattle-car" situation. Most military people will know of what I am speaking here. In other words: they cram us into a tight and uncomfortable space, leaving us no choice other than to take it, or leave it! Bull***t, if you ask me!

A national boycott of airlines for one week, should bring a serious change to some of these goings-on. but you know what? Most people are too hung up on being comfortable, and arriving as quickly as possible, to demand that they at least get some human treatment.

"Faster is better!"; is a bunch of bull! Take few seats out of the freaking planes, and add some wider and more comfortable seating! I am no expert, but I do know that the seats are measurably less wide than they used to be, and this is unconscionable, considering the prices of tickets, and the numbers of passengers they have on a daily basis.

I'm not finished with this: we as a consumers, have more power than we seemingly realize.

The "Friendly Skies", seem a lot less so lately.

Register, then vote!

Living inside of the vacuum of anger will not provide anyone with solutions to their problems, or voice to those in a position to help, the concerns which they are feeling.

My grandparents voted, they were proud to do so. My parents vote, because they also feel a sense of pride in doing so. I vote. Because I served, I feel strongly about the privilege (It is not a right, as some of you believe it to be) and I have no intention of disrespecting those who gave their lives in protecting the idealism which spawned the freedom to do so.

Political activism is the only true power wielded by the masses in any system of government. But now, we see massive money buying enough airtime to sway voters; often even dissuading them from ever voting at all. We see liars who are convicted of felonies, reclaiming their elected positions because most people are too lazy to be informed as to whom might be better to cast their votes for in the first place.

Any person in the United States who is legally allowed to do so, (Allowed dispels the concept of a right) should register, pay attention to voting records, and climates of their districts, based upon what their elected officials are doing; and then, GO OUT, and VOTE!

Be honest.

Would you want to be a black man, walking down a street in a small town, anywhere in America?
I sure as hell would not!

We do have a racial problem in this country! CNN, you can stop stirring up emotions by asking this question before almost every break: the answer is known and now we can move on to trying to dispose of this cancer from our society. maybe however, we will never be rid of the hatred which seems to be the only empowerment which some people ever get to wield in their lives.
maybe, we're just going to have to become comfortable with our seeming unwillingness to not hate other people.

I am no fan of police-haters. I see the need for police officers to do what they do. I do not like abusive people who have badges and carry guns. if you are one of these (and you know the truth as to whether or not this pertains to you) get some help, or get out of the law enforcement business because you are a problem, and this is what you have been trained and hired to alleviate.

I wouldn't want to find myself on a dark street in some town where an abusive set of beer-guzzlers where badges, and call everyone "Boy" or "Gal", or have these badges because they know "Bubba" or some such, with whom they attended "some "schoolin'", no matter what color my skin, but especially if it were permanently tanned.

Blacks have it hard, and now that many more whites are joining the ranks; they need an opponent: ta daaa! The blacks took my job! Even though the blacks to whom he refers are as unemployed as is he. Deeper truthfully, because they were never employed to begin with.

No; I am not sympathizing with any side: I am simply saying that there is a problem, and that we need more than the two or three minutes we are allowed to view on the news programs. (TV programming: get it?)

Well; where do you stand?

ISIS, jumped the gun...

in a manner of speaking. The game is the same according the Qur'an. (Kill 'em all, if they're not Muslim: imprison them if they convert after helping you to kill off the infidels!) Their book, not mine.

But ISIS has played the card too early.

The beheading and the shooting of people is so far beyond the need for them to have their asses kicked out of existence, that it is almost ludicrous to say it! WE should have seen this coming when we left billions of dollars of equipment in-country, for a bunch of people who were never on our sides in the first place. They were glad to be rid of Saddam's boot-prints on their backs, but they wanted to choose whose would be next to endure.

We bought into the "We'll be seen as "liberators!" crap, because we wanted to feel as if our war made some sense. Now however, we are in danger everywhere that we can see. Trust me on this: this group is not intent on scaring anyone: they want to destroy everyone!!

They are not interested in negotiating with the US or with any other country; they want to produce their own world, the whole freaking thing!
They are the "Simon Barr-Sinister"(s) of the age. They want to "Rule the world!" (Watch Underdog reruns).

I feel so sorry for the Foley family to have had to endure this insulting and grievous torture of having to know that these gutless jacks murdered their son. I hope that they will one day receive some form of justice, for what he went through.

Now; are we willing to respond as we should; or will it be another joke-laden "surgical strikes will demoralize them" bunch of nonsense?

Has Ebola gone away?

Ferguson is a touchy and frighteningly telling situation for our country. I can only hope that this comes out to a conclusion which will serve to strengthen and not to further weaken our country.

Now I have to ask: What has happened to Ebola? Has it gone way? Are we safe?

Diminutive reports which scroll quickly by on the bottom of my screen tells to me very little in the way of what if anything is being done to halt the spreading of this disease, or whether or not it has already arrived in the US.

Ferguson has and will happen again and the over because we have a flawed system which falsely rewards far too many who have done little to nothing: while marginalizing the efforts and accomplishments of those who work daily to be an asset to our society.

Young people all of all backgrounds are feeling the pressures of a limited future. Jobs have been outsourced, and even the military is scheduled to be scaled-back. They are asking the hard questions about their future prospects, and they are not receiving answers which give to them little to no comfort.

Science is saying different things about the spread of Ebola and other possible pandemic-producing diseases. Is there a vaccine; and if so; will it work? Who will receive it, and what will be the guidelines providing the list of who will?

Is this a real threat beyond the borders of Africa; or are we being misdirected in order to keep our attentions from something more ominous?

Keep your eyes and your ears open on this one: and if you know something...share it with everyone else! Please!

Obama should not go to Ferguson.

We have a justice department and a situation like the one we are witnessing now in Ferguson is one which should draw the attentions of this department.

I know that it would look impressive to some people for the president to show up, but to me it would only serve to muddy-up the waters even more so than they are at this time. President Obama has the right to speak on the matter, and I believe he has already said enough, so now, allow the system of justice to get one right for a change.

How is it affordable?

I appreciate that people who have traditionally been unable to afford healthcare insurance are now having this opportunity made available to them: but I would like to know the answer to this question: If a person cannot afford to actually pay for coverage, and is not eligible for Medicaid or some other assistance in purchasing; how is it affordable!?

Happy Birthday, intelligence!

Imaginative learners who are actually encouraged to seek their interests inside of our decaying school system, are the last of a necessary breed of people, who are the sole repository of a progressive and most valuable resource of the human species.
Boards of Education throughout the United States are increasingly made up of sycophantic narcissists, who are ill-prepared to forgo their trips through the "land of egomania" in order to allow for the furtherance of a stronger nation through the growth of its intellectual resources: namely, learned people.
I have sat through numerous hours of unproductive school board meetings and public gatherings and I have a conclusion of the process, which in and of itself is my own opinion and not the end of the discussion in any sense: the system is not broken; it is dead, and our children are being fed this diet of decaying and destructive pieces of lies in order to justify the budgets and the official positions of people who are "paycheck only" extroverts, who possess little to no care for or of their charges, and the lives they will be forced to live, due to their "indoctrination into stupidity"!

I attended college and I learned immediately that I would be the recipient of a large bill after at least four years, and not much more. I listened to professor after another, who regaled us with tales of the magnanimousness in "staying behind" to teach the next set of leaders.

The sickening thud which we are hearing more and more is the sound of the IQs of our young people, as they fall deeper into a pit of deliberate design.

I am frightened, but I have hope for a upswing in learning environments that are not chained to this system of "Deaducation" as I am more frequently referring to it these days. Homeschoolers are being allowed to learn more and more about subjects which support their interests, and not only a set of required courses which have the tendency of producing less than likely leaders of progressive thinking people who want to help society, in opposition to only selfishly helping themselves at the expense of other people.

I hold out hope. Clear-thinking, and substantive builders of society are still possible, they are the last hope of a dying need for smart people to overcome the expectations of simply being intelligent. All people have a level of intelligence; smart people learn how to use and to upgrade their intellectual strengths in a way which produces a better situation than the one into which they entered.
Smart people help other people to matter, no matter their social status, or their financial needs. This dying breed, are the foundation, they will prevail, even in the bleak and dead-air atmosphere under which we now find ourselves.

I posted an opinion yesterday about a possible US response to the attacks in Syria, and I did this before I weighed a few facts that I had forgotten about from my history research.
Maybe it is the right time to decide on a hard-core course of response to what they are doing to the people in Syria: if of course we have a plan which is credible and mindful of the civilians who will inevitably be in harms way.
We (the US) stood by in the past when we were aware of an atrocity-in-the-making and did nothing in order to not be drawn into a war which was seen as not being "our problem".
Well, it was our problem and it became a worldwide problem to boot!
Our government was the only one capable of having prepared a stop-gap measure which would have diverted at least some of the tragic events which were a part of the world war of the 1940s. I have had the privilege of talking with survivors of those "vacation camps" as some of the neo-jerks would have us believe that they were; and it is not a story of pretty content. The US could have led the opposition that would have prevented the buildup of the German war machine, and saved the lives of countless innocent victims, as well as those of hundreds of thousands f military personnel, many of whom were never actually accounted for! I know the families of several of our troops who never came back and have as of now, still remain listed as MIA.
A course of response is necessary, and maybe it is the place of the US to be in the forefront. One thing that is for certain; the people in this region who would use these weapons, will not stop simply at using them on their own people!
These are a people of violence, and the only response to which they will ever take notice, is that of greater violence! American citizens have only tasted a small portion of the vitriol of this region, so we have little if any point of reference to use in assessing of what they are willing to do.
Roosevelt allowed his congress to make a policy of non-interference, and then we were attacked into World War II, are we seeing the beginnings of a similar situation? We must be aware that even our "Third World" enemies have nuclear devices to use against us, and maybe we need to use a hardline approach in response to this use of inhumane tactics to relay the message that they'd better not do it again!
This carries no easily surmised solutions that is for certain; however the United States, must take a stance of non-acceptance in response to any country that would do something of this nature! We waited on Saddam Hussein after he gassed his people, and a few short years later, we were forced into sending our troops to reel him back into line! Was the wait worth the aftermath? Desert-storm, Iraqi-Freedom, Afghanistan, and now, Syria and Iran?
Minus the support of the Brits which is expected, we need to pay close attention to what the Russians are saying. After all, they have a vested interest in the area.
I cannot approve of combat; but I do know that it may be inevitable, and this time out, I would rather see the US in a position to kick the asses of those who would attack her, before she became a sacrificial lamb! Remember 9/11/2001? All of the sings were pointing toward something significant and detrimental happening, and the egos would not allow for a common sense position to be assumed; that should never happen again!
This seemingly has nothing but disaster written all over its face, but this time, we have to see a cohesive congress that will allow the world to know that the US is no longer allowing itself to be anyone's free-range target!
I hope war is not the outcome, but let's face it; that is all that this enemy respects: violence. Maybe we should show them that they cannot get away with this. I am sure that they will have no qualms about attempting to hit tis country, or any other they feel is worthy of the "honor".
Difficult times, call for difficult choices to be made, that is why we elect leadership into our government; the time for them to step up, is now!
