Tired ...

I make absolutely no apologies for being who I am.  I fully realize I'm on the extreme left side of things and I'm perfectly okay with that.  I choose to be an idealist for humanity than a protector of capitalism.  From where I stand, the soul of humanity isn't governed by wealth, but by doing the right things.  I know there are those on the opposite side that say the same thing.  We can respectfully disagree on things - that's fine.

But I'm finding that the "reason" why folks think as they do has very little to do with actual factual reasoning.  The blindness - the willful and complete blindness by my right side counterparts can almost be described as completely insane.  The hypocrisy is alarming and yet they don't care one iota.  They remain smitten that they don't have to be accountable for anything or anyone because "we're right because I heard or read that I am."

Really?

It's an absolute waste of time attempting to argue with folks that can't rationally acknowledge their irrational inconsistencies.  They abhor progress because it disrupts their ultimate game plan of acquisition.  In their universe: nothing else matters.  It's "he who dies with the most toys, wins" mentality which can't be rationalized in the scheme of humanity.

Our founding fathers wanted us to be civil towards one another, to respectfully disagree - but accept the progress of society.  We have none of that.  We continually dwell in our uncivil nature as it continues to push our nation in a downward angle.

So - I'm tired.

I'm tired of the bullshit.
I'm tired of the hypocrisy.
I'm tired of the stubbornness.
I'm tired of the double standards and the expectations that it's okay to be self-absorbed at the expense of everyone else in the world.

We're in retro-progress ... and we are falling behind fast.  Other nations continue to make advances to further their countries.  What's the US doing?  We're bickering and can't agree on table settings.  We are obsessed with gossip and have no willpower to fix problems.

With the ineptness of Congress, I'd personally like every single one fired that ever used the filibuster to contain the progress that could've been made as a country.  I'd like to see those that are adamantly defending corporations to be removed from public office because CORPORATIONS ARE NOT PEOPLE (for the love of all things Zeus!)

Folks that defend corporations are only defending them because they overwhelming majority of Americans aren't for your party.  Republicans have fought to control the media and the influence behind it so that they can continue their shoestring connection with the governing process.  You see, Republicans know that if it was a fair fight, head to head, they'd lose without their corporate backings because their policies fail in the face of the average American.  They continually pull the wool over those that defend them ... and with blind assurances as their measure - they are vilified and feel vindicated.

So.  To those folks that can't rationally understand their shortcomings, I can't help you anymore.  You're mired in the muck that you simply have no desire to get out of.  For those folks who continue to thwart the progress of this country, I'm removing you from my life.  You're no longer in my conscience or on my Facebook feed.  You're no longer the annoying insignificant gnat.  I'm not longer following you on twitter or wherever your little universe is.

I'm done.  Fin. 

The moment you can be a productive member of SOCIETY that makes it about others and not about self-serving your own singular purpose - then we can probably finally begin a meaningful dialogue about solving the problems we face ... together.  In the meantime, keep playing with pennies in light sockets and using hairdryers in the shower.  Oh and if you do that, you'll become more enlightened.  Moreover that logic (and yours, Republicans) comes from the internet so "god it has to be true then."
