Little Tired
I got to stop watching politics. It just makes angry. The right and they left in equal doses even if I do favor the left a little more. I know I have progressive tendencies. I am for a women’s right to choose. I am for equal rights. I am for every American having a place to live, having food, having health care.
I am also very conservative in the fact that I believe in the Constitution. The whole thing. Freedom of speech, the press, religion. I believe in the second amendment. I have no problem with a citizen of this country owning guns.
I also think that in this modern age we have to be smart and we have the tech to do background checks to keep the guns out of criminals hands. We register cars in this country, it seems logical to have to register some guns. I have no doubt that if machine guns were invented when the Constitution was written there would have been some kind of control on them. The founders were not stupid men. They didn’t say that every man may have a cannon,which were available at the time. I also think that technically, if you get a gun you should have to join a state militia, as that is mentioned. And if joining that militia is a kind of gun registration, than so be it. People worry that if guns are registered the government will know where to go to get their guns. I think if that started happening the only guns the government would get is the cold dead hands kind.
What it seems to me is the most anti-government people are mostly bitching about is money. Don’t take my money! Don’t give my money to the poor. Where is my money! Give me more money! Shouting at the government. Blaming the wrong people while the fat cats and corporations drain the country dry.
They trick one groups of poor to fight against other groups of poor. Distraction, distraction. I do think that there is a lot of fear in this country. Especially of former middle class white people who are realizing the last 40 years was a lie and that supply side economics is bullshit. Especially when the system is gamed in the favor of the rich and the powerful and the connected. The whole country is in the middle of a big reset downward where a big part of the country is going to be forced to do with less.
Hopefully we can get out of this before some really bad stuff has to go down.
Like what you ask?
Famine, riots, marshal law, religious zealots taking over, invasion, world war.. Yes I know the U.S. is already in many wars around the world. Hopefully we can knock some of that shit out. Sending our men and women to die for nothing is bad enough but when they come back and we basically forget them, especially the injured on the inside ones, that’s just unforgivable.
No matter what some people would have you believe, not everything can be done for profit. I mean look at me, I don’t get paid shit. Of course I don’t work very hard at this. I just open my brain, shake it, and get the splatter everywhere. Laterzzz
