Our country needs to get on it's knees and pray....
What happened to the America I was born and raised in? Where I was taught respect and manners first off? What happened to butt whippin for back talking? What happened to soap in the mouth for being disrespectful? Flag burning in my eyes is treason! That's what's wrong with my generation and younger. We are still big crybabies on both political parties. By the way, I'm not even 35 yet so don't think I'm an "old" generation yet!
Who I voted for is nobody's business because for one, I wasn't a fan of either major candidate, for two, my single vote wouldn't have changed the numbers in this state to change anything now and for 3, no matter who it was, there is no excuse for this behavior this country has now!
All of you upset and worse, violently protesting (riots, burning, looting, destroying/damaging property) today or any other day, remember who gave you freedom to start with! Millions of souls buried at cemeteries all across the country, entombed not just at cemeteries but at the bottom of the ocean, on foreign lands, and some just never found because they were incinerated. I'm not going to mince my words. I am a daughter and granddaughter of veterans. I will NOT mince my words just to be politically correct!
It is a civic duty for me to at least play with our community band on every Veterans Day and Memorial Day. This is a pic of our National Cemetery.
And THIS is why.
Our veterans did NOT serve for the pansy this country is today! They did NOT serve to watch this country become what it has. A bunch of crybaby filled pansies who can't even remember half of what they were taught in school because many schools and even colleges these days cater to every single hurt feeling with a can of play-doh and therapy dogs! They did not serve to see people going out there will hate in their hearts just because someone is living differently or looks differently than you.
We didn't get classes in any grade of school or college or even tests cancelled on 9/11 or the days after..... I still had to be at work and also show up the next day.... Just something to think about in comparison to what is happening now.
I'm going to share something that I read from here. Think on it.
"The word uneducated has been thrown around a lot over the past couple of days. It’s one of those words that can’t really be used in a nice way. We don’t say that children are uneducated. We just say that they’re in the process of getting their education. Usually, when we use the word uneducated, we’re trying to find a nice way to call people dumb. The only problem is that it’s not too nice. And it’s, well, an uneducated thing to say.
A while back I was driving my 1990-something automobile down a busy road at night when smoke suddenly started coming out from under the hood. I jumped out at a red light and tried to correct the issue. About a mile down the road, my 1990-something automobile reminded me that I don’t know anything about cars. The smoke got worse but I managed to guide the dying automobile into a church parking lot.
I got out and said a prayer.
And then I made a phone call.
The guys who came to help me don’t carry any initials after their names. They’ve never been asked to write a book about anything. They’ll probably never give a commencement address. I, on the other hand, have spent a lot of years in school. When I finish my current degree I will have spent almost as much time in school after high school graduation as I did before.
But standing next to that dead car of mine, guess who the uneducated one was.
Some of the most brilliant people I know have never been to college. Have you ever watched a carpenter work? A good one is one half Michelangelo and one half Mike Rowe. He’s an artist with dirt under his fingernails and blisters on his hands and drive in his heart. And he’s far from uneducated.
There are many times in my life when I don’t know what my next step should be. When I find myself in that situation, I don’t go looking for the guy with the most degrees. I go looking for the guy with the most wisdom. The two are not the same. Typically, the guy with the most wisdom has more gray hairs and wrinkles than he does degrees.
A while back someone asked me if it was a requirement for a pastor to go to seminary. For me, it was. I needed the discipline and rigor. But that’s not the case for all ministry leaders. Some of the best ones I know have educated themselves through interaction with other wise leaders and reading a lot. On the other hand, there are those pastors who can’t keep track of all of their degrees but who also couldn’t recognize the Holy Spirit from a graduation robe.
This is not to say that degrees and higher education do not matter. They do. If you’re getting surgery, you want the guy holding the scalpel to have tons and tons of initials after his name. A good, formal education is a necessity for some. But not for all.
We have to remember that we’re all different. We have different roles. And those different roles don’t make some better than others. Society needs doctors and carpenters. The best example for us is the Trinity where we see one God made up of three distinct yet equal persons. The Holy Spirit is no more or less God because he’s not the one who died on the cross.
No matter who came out on top in the election, I knew I wouldn’t be happy about the winner. I can’t remember the last time that I was happy with the outcome of an election. Maybe one day I will be. But I’ve never called in sick to work or asked for the day off from classes because I needed to cope with the bad news. There are a lot of highly educated people who did just that this week. I know a mechanic, a guy who some in our media would refer to as uneducated, who wasn’t too thrilled with this week’s election results either. But he went to work the next day.
It goes to show, there’s a difference between being uneducated and miseducated."
Liberal America and really ALL sides need to just shut up and quit looking down on those who are not in their mold of "ideal" jobs. Someone has to do it! Even your millionare has to call a plumber or a mechanic sometime. And how about electricians? They are not white collar workers either but they are the reason why you have ANY power in this country. What about oil rig workers? They are filthy and dirty on the job yet THEY are the ones who provide gasoline and so much more. Wanna keep looking down on them, telling your children "Don't be like that because you will be dirt poor." Take that rhetoric and wipe your butt with it.
Oh I'm sorry, did I hurt your feelings and offend you with what I said? TOO BAD because I'm just getting started.....
Now you want to get onto the topic of uneducated? How about kids these days going to school? A bunch of crybaby filled pansies who can't even remember half of what they were taught in school because many schools and even colleges these days cater to every single hurt feeling with a can of play-doh and therapy dogs! We didn't get participation awards and a "woe is me" mentality when I was in school. You either won or you did not. Grow up! Do not expect schools to be your nanny! Learn a thing called, self-reliance!
Did Lincoln just sit on his butt and expect everything done for him? Did George Washington? Did Martin Luther King? Did Rosa Parks? Did Moses? Did King David? Did Esther? Did all of our service men and women who have served in the Armed Forces or as LEO's do that? NO! They all stood for something. Quit expecting everyone to hand everything to you just because you exist. That's not how it works.
The following I have shared on Facebook and you are more than welcome to share if you wish.
I don't remember behavior like this when Bill Clinton got elected twice, when Bush got in twice, or even when Obama did twice! What gives now?
https://twitter.com/BillFOX46/status/796567127364894721
All of the "safe spaces" "emergency counseling" "therapy dogs" "play-doh" being provided for those who are crying foul over Trump winning shows the decline in our country. I have never seen an election result be so sour after it is done. Riots, looting, burning, is NOT peaceful protesting. Go ahead and march, Even MLK did that but he did NOT support the violence, burning and looting with it. We used to have 18 year olds willing to fight for our country in Normandy. Now many of them are whining liberals crying foul because of how our election process works and there are even some going onto social media saying that we need to kill Trump.
When Obama won twice, there were no riots, burning and looting or any of that.
So what makes us all think that all of this drama is okay now?
I just pray that since we are the Divided States that maybe soon we can go back to being the UNITED STATES.....
"Maybe America is a little too scared and a little too easily offended.
Quit being scared, crying around, offended by everything.. step up and do your part as an American, no, as a friggin human being. Treat others with respect, help and encourage one another, raise your kids right, be a contributing member of society. Make sure your hands are clean, that's your job. Burning the American flag? Get out of here with that crap, how about you do your job to make it a better place.
But right now, all I see is hate. It's disturbing, and the ones with the most hate are being exactly what they claim to be against."
My generation and younger need to grow up and move on without acting like crybabies, thugs and toddlers..... if you don't vote, you have no right to whine. Even then whining will get you nowhere. Acting like an adult, being mature and responsible will.
When Obama was elected, a lot of conservatives were very upset. A few posted stupid things but nothing like we see now. There were a LOT of posts telling conservatives to get over it, to accept it, that this was the way the American election system worked and to be thankful they had a voice but accept that the other voice was stronger. Those exact same people on my timeline and other news outlet pages are now posting about petitions, protests, and refusals to accept what the American people decided. Maybe they should go back 8 years and read their own posts...
As shared from a friend:
"So now everywhere I turn I'm hearing on CBS, CNN, the New York Times and other left leaning so called news organizations are writing articles stating that the presidential race isn't over yet because the electoral votes aren't to be cast by the electors until December 19th. Technically there are only 29 states where the electors are bound to vote according to their states overall vote. And of those Trump only has 13 with 133 electoral votes. So now it makes sense as to why we are seeing all of these protests. They are trying to sway these electors to change their votes. One of the electors from Texas has already told a newspaper that he isn't voting for Trump. On January 6th the congress will have a joint session to tally the votes. They congress can overturn any electoral votes that does not line up with the states overall votes, and with the Republican Party controlling both houses of congress they will. So why is the news outlets fueling the fire??? FOR RATINGS!!! FOR SALES!!! They are using you!!!! They don't care about us as a people. This election cycle was the highest money generating election in modern history for the news outlets! We are being played for fools America! All of us! We have to be smarter. Most of those who are in the streets never heard of the electoral votes before this election. Most have no idea how it works or why we have it. (There is a petition on change.org to abolish the electoral process.) So when the media is telling those who believe Hilary should be president that she can still win.... they believe it.... and they will be that much more angry when January comes and Trump steps into the White House. The media is causing more division for ratings, the are causing more hatred and anger to spew for money from their sponsors who are buying tv ads at high prices because they know that we are going to tune in to see people shutting down highways and people being arrested. We have to stop allowing them to manipulate us! We need to come together as a nation and move forward in together."
God help this country.......
What my generation and younger needs is a good butt whippin, lessons in civics, economics and government. Maybe then, MAYBE they will see how things are supposed to be. This behavior is out of control.....
Quit preaching and demanding love and tolerance then doing the exact opposite.
All of this violence and threats via social media to assassinate Trump, is that really what we want to teach is okay? Love trumps hate, that's what liberals say yet are doing the polar opposite. How is that better than Trump and his behavior?
I don't care if you are conservative or liberal, THIS IS NOT OKAY!
In the meantime, chew on these.

I got told that this is because people are scared. Scared doesn't mean you go act a fool destroying everything in sight just because you are pissed that you didn't get your way! We live in scary times, no matter which side you are on yet you don't honestly see the majority of the American population acting fools for it! Don't go waving signs that say "love trumps hate" and be rioting, looting and being violent at the same time. Hypocrites!!!
All you people saying you are upset and offended at the elections, you fools have no idea what you actually have. You claim the 1% have it all and you whine because you don't. Wake up your pathetic selfish face and see that YOU ARE the 1%. See for yourself!
. If you made $1500 last year, you’re in the top 20% of the world’s income earners.
. If you have sufficient food, decent clothes, live in a house or apartment, and have a reasonably reliable means of transportation, you are among the top 15% of the world’s wealthy
. If you earn $25,000 or more annually, you are in the top 10% of the world’s income-earners
. If you have any money saved, a hobby that requires some equipment or supplies, a variety of clothes in your closet, two cars (in any condition), and live in your own home, you are in the top 5% of the world’s wealthy.
. If you earn more than $50,000 annually, you are in the top 1% of the world’s income earners
Still think you have it bad? LOOK!
As one of my friends said, "People rioting and terrorizing whites and Trump supporters... People terrorizing other races on the flip side... This crap is ridiculous on both sides. The majority of each side, they're good and decent people. Then you have the group on each side that would rather remain hateful and violent. Stop it. You're ridiculous and no one with a decent brain supports you. And raise your kids better. America will never be great with you idiots running around acting like you're doing something. Stupidest crap I've ever seen in my life." I agree with her!!!! All of you nuts wanting the electoral college abolished need to remember that THIS is why it is still here. Other presidents got in with JUST the electoral college and you all didn't act fools then, so seriously, why this crap now? Why act like little raging pansies? You are all fools!
Don't blame it on "white-lash" either. PULEEZE!!! If it was that, you would have left Carson in. Don't you idiots see that both Trump and Clinton are white? Wow..... Did you forget that?
Quit getting offended by everything, get over the butt hurt. Get up and wipe yourself off just like everyone else has to. The world won't cater to you dear. WAH!!!! All you people going out there throwing a tantrum because elections didn't go your way, or on the flip side, those of you fools who think you just won and got your way now going out there and thinking you are God or something and can treat others like crap, just grow up and work to make this world better! Better yet, serve somewhere. I'm not saying it has to be military but instead of whining all day, do something! Make a difference in your community. Start there. Instead of destroying, looting and burning where you live, Instead of being a bully and treating others who are different and or even think different than you, instead decide YOU will make a positive difference to make this world a better place. How about working on abolishing the KKK, Black Panthers or other hate groups? Instead of feeding the anger and hate, do something about it!
I'm willing to wait and watch and give any elected POTUS a chance. Are you?
Now,
Do you really think the Republicans or the Democrats are here for you? They are not! They are all out for themselves and just say pretty words to get in. Then they all do whatever they want. There is a bigger agenda out there and we are not it. Look up George Soros. Yet all we can do is sit down here and gripe about who voted for who and beat the crap out of those who didn't vote the way you wanted. "But Trump/Clinton did this!" WE AS A NATION CREATED THIS FOR OURSELVES!! Think on that. We accepted that sex in movies and TV was okay. We accepted that racy clothing in public was okay, we accepted that disrespect and cussing out people is okay. We accepted that we are allowed to throw a tantrum when things don't go our way. WE CREATED THIS SOCIETY AND NOW WE WANT TO GRIPE ABOUT IT?????
REALLY?????? YOU ALL ACCEPTED THIS!
"No I did not accept this!"
Reality check: Yes you did! Everybody has... You did when you bought all of the media, movies, TV shows, CD/MP3 albums. By buying all of that stuff, you said, "This is okay." and now generations are reaping the crop for it. It doesn't matter if it talks about rape, sex, drugs, cussing, gangs, shootings, etc.... We all taught ourselves that this was okay in society. Sex is the highest grossing "product" on the market today..... We are the biggest exporter of pornography.... I could go on but that's for another day.
So then, can we really say that Trump or Clinton were "Horrible people for this or that," or "Bill / Melania are horrible for this or that" when we accepted all of that in the first place? I didn't vote for them in the primaries or anything! You all did! And if you didn't go out and vote, even in the primaries when you HAD your chance to vote out Trump or Clinton, then just shut up right here, right now because by NOT voting, you allowed them in too.
Want proof? See this. https://vimeo.com/188409358
Here illegally? Work on becoming a citizen before using government benefits, abide by USA laws, not Sharia law or anything else. OUR laws. and respect those around you, even if they don't agree with you. Pull your weight here, don't be lazy, be a responsible adult. That's all I ask.
Do you really think that those who founded this country would be proud of where we ALL are now? Do you? They would all be rolling in their graves.... Even Martin Luther King would be..... I feel sorry for the country we are today because this is NOT what past generations fought for. We are the laughing stock of the world and we did all of it to ourselves....
This is not what the first African-American army regiment fought for. Go back and see the movie Glory. They were PROUD to fight. To fight beside the white men who were fighting for them. Dying by the thousands for freedom. Let's go to WWII. Pearl Harbor. Seen that movie? Thousands died in WWII and thousands more were left with physical and or emotional scars for life.... I've been told by a war veteran that the biggest thing they will never forget is the screaming of those around them dying and seeing fellow solders suffering that they have known for a long time yet can't do anything about it... Memories of war never fade.... Go watch Pearl Harbor, Glory and Saving Private Ryan then tell me you are fighting for something.
22 veterans commit suicide every day. That does not count those still struggling with physical or emotional issues....
Have you truly reached out to a veteran today?
Have you truly reached out to a veteran today?
That's something almost everyone on all sides has forgotten. In all of the political whining over this or that on both sides, remember who fought for you. Your freedoms and rights you have today would not be here at all without them. Kapernick's right to sit for the anthem would not be here. Your opportunity to say whatever you want about whatever political party or establishment, you would not have. Your right to PEACEFULLY protest what is going on around the nation and the world, you would not have without those who have died for you to get those rights.
You want change for the better? Than shut up about it and DO IT! Quit whining, quit being a pansy, quit expecting everyone else to cater to you and get up off your butt and help yourself and those around you!
Republican, Democrat, Liberal, Conservative, Independent, House, Senate, POTUS, whatever, we all need to grow up and look around us. Treat others as you want treated. Quit screaming for peace, love and respect if YOU are not giving in return. Neither side has the right to take this country down!
Now, you voted these DC nuts in, if you don't like what they do, write to them, e-mail them, don't vote them back in but QUIT destroying the communities around you. You only make yourself look like an idiot for it. Martin Luther King didn't do that, nor did anyone else who made revolutionary change in this nation.
Be like them if you want change.
And yes, I'll be wearing one. Not because I want to act a fool and riot, or that I'm automatically a liberal like I know some Republicans would assume nor as a way to say "I hate Trump" because that's not MY reason. It's not a protest against Trump for me. MY reason is because nobody has a right to bully anyone just because they want to. Wearing a pin is to me awareness, a peaceful protest example, marching where you are NOT breaking the law is peaceful protest. My reason for wearing is to speak out against bullying. Any form of bullying. Yeah I'm a Christian and I believe what I do in the Bible but even Jesus stopped the stoning of a sinner.... Love goes farther than hate.
We the people have had enough of your crying, rioting, looting, violence, threats, ultra-sensitivity, taking offense to everyone and everything, intolerance for anyone or anything that is different from you; even if it is good for you, your hatred of Public Safety and the Military, and your general disrespect for the American flag, the National Anthem, and America itself!!!! If you don't like it here, do what I suggested, and if you still want to keep whining and rioting, being violent move out and move on to a different country. Bet you come back with your tail between your legs whining on how much worse you have it elsewhere. Till then, just shut up. I don't care who you are or what side you are on.
Want more? Go here.
This goes for LEO's and corrections officers too in my book.
That is all for today. Remember, this messed up world is NOT our final home..... Where I'm going is at greater stake than where I am now.
