By Today's Standards...

Well it's official! I'm not a very good American.   In fact, by today's standards... I am a VERY bad American!  And here's some of the reasons why...

I don't allow the media or Hollywood to sway my thinking.  I don't listen to the media and politicians' smear campaigns.    I do not go along with the status quo, majority rules or the mob mentality.  Instead I really work through the freeze dried bullshit. 

 I research and really think things over before I decide for me and what's best for me.  I decide how I feel or don't feel; which product to buy, what political standing I take and so on.   Not the media, not social media, not the entertainment industry, not religion and certainly not politicians.  I Choose!  I Decide!

By today's Standards...that makes me a VERY bad American.

I don't give in to bullies of any kind. Especially those bullies who come in the guise of someone pretending to know what's best for me.   And I certainly do not give in to political correctness because I know, and have always known,  that political correctness is a corrosive acid eating away at society; protecting only a select few and oppressing any and everyone who disagrees.   
 

 By today's Standards...that makes me a VERY bad American.    

I believe in clarity over agreement. 

 By today's Standards...that makes me a VERY bad American. 

I love our law enforcement and our military... and their families.   I greatly appreciate the sacrifices they make on our behalf.  

 By today's Standards...that makes me a VERY bad American

I don't go out of my way to offend anyone, but if what I believe in and stand for offends someone...I will not apologize.  I take responsibility for my own feelings and I insist that others do the same. 

By today's Standards...that makes me a VERY bad American.    

I despise ignorance and double-standards wherever they might show up. 

By today's Standards...that makes me a VERY bad American.    

I believe that 1 + 1  really does  equal 2.   And I don't believe you have to come up with some ridiculously abstract formula to arrive at that answer. 

By today's Standards...that makes me a VERY bad American. 

I believe  in and encourage breast feeding.   In public places and private spaces, over yon, over by a pond, in a parked car or in a park; in the light or in the dark.  Market places, theater spaces,  over there, over here, anywhere and everywhere it matters to me none.  Breast feeding is natural and good for baby and mom. 

 By today's Standards...that makes me a VERY bad American. 

While I believe that every person is loved  equally by our Creators and we all have something we contribute for the betterment of our world;  I don't believe we are all created equal. Some are smarter, some are stronger,  some are short, some are tall, some can really sing, play an instrument very well and some can whip up a delicious full meal out of a few minor ingredients.     

By today's Standards...that makes me a VERY bad American. 

I believe that ALL Lives Matter.   End of story.  Period!

By today's Standards...that makes me a VERY bad American.    

 I believe in keeping it simple and keeping things real.  I believe that while we all have a right to our opinions, we also have a right to remain silent.  And  I believe there are times when we should exercise the one before offering up the other. In other words,  we should always consider the advice:  better to be thought a fool than opening your mouth and removing all doubt!


By today's Standards...that makes me a VERY bad American.    
 

I believe that each country, in particularly and most especially America,  needs to take care of their own FIRST. 

 By today's Standards...that makes me a VERY bad American.    

I believe the majority religions are a snare and racket and more dangerous and more sadistic than the mob or any gang in the world. 

By today's Standards...that makes me a VERY bad American.

I believe every able bodied man and woman must pull their own weight.  And I believe in fair wages.  A woman who works the same job as a man should be paid the same as that man.   And vice versa. 

By today's Standards...that makes me a VERY bad American.

I do not believe in career welfare recipients or career politicians; I do not believe in free college--free anything for that matter.  I'm a realist and I know there is no such thing as FREE.    At the same time I DO NOT  believe food, water and shelter, healthcare; a good solid education and owning a few luxuries should be so outrageously expensive that it makes it nearly impossible for anyone to have.

By today's Standards...that makes me a VERY bad American.

I want what is best for everyone--not just Americans.  But I will not overlook and ignore the needs of homeless Americans in favor of the needs of homeless non-Americans.  I will not ignore the plight of impoverished Americans to attend only to the plights of impoverished non-Americans.

And by today's standards...

that makes me a VERY bad American.

And NOW...a word from the Vice President of Narcissism Or I Wanna Be Like Mitt and Be Relevant Again

Keith Olbermann: 
I can’t stand to live in a Trump building anymore!
Source: Washington Post

~*~*~*~*~*~

And what was that people have been saying about Trump having a narcissistic personality disorder again?!!!
Mr. Oblermann, nobody gives two craps on a cracker about you moving out of your apartment you narcissistic, pretentious FOP!
You're just using this  to be relevant again.  Speaking of desperately seeking relevancy...maybe you can get Mitt to move ya?  Just be sure to stay away from the top of any vehicle Mitt may be driving!
Or...
Maybe Glenn Beck can be your new roommate Keith Olbermann?   Although that probably wouldn't work.  Being as narcissistic as the two of you are...you would both implode trying to be more relevant than the other--cancelling  each other out within seconds!!  *LOL*

~*~*~*~*~*~

Oh by the by Mr. Olbermann!  Mike Gallaghar stated on his show this morning he will happily take your lease!  
*LOLOL*

And now a word from our "Friends" South of the Border...

Enrique Peña Nieto, the 57th President of Mexico: Trump language like that of Hitler

*LOL*

As Trump has built a lead in the GOP primary,  both current and former Mexican officials have begun to publicly express alarm. Former Presidents Vicente Fox and Felipe Calderon also have alluded to Hitler in describing Trump.

In the interview with Excelsior, Pena Nieto said "there is no scenario" under which Mexico would pay for the border wall, as Trump proposes.  But he said he would work with whoever eventually wins this year's U.S. presidential election and to maintain a climate "of mutual respect and joint agreements."

Source: MSN News  

So my questions to  Enrique Peña Nieto, President  of Mexico: 

What are your collective reasons for your  people fleeing the country you govern?    

Why do your citizens risk everything, believing it a matter of life or death, to leave Mexico?   

Why are your citizens so determined to remain here in the United States?  Seeing how you and your fellow rulers--my bad--leaders of your country are so wonderful, and not at all like any dictators--past or present.  I mean...why on earth would anyone want to leave under your rule?  Sorry!  Your dictatorship...my bad again...your leadership!

Under your rule...dammit--so sorry--your leadership... and seeing how you and your fellow despots--leaders-- again, my apologies--Leaders of Mexico all agree that Trump is so much like Hitler...and now Mussolini...does this mean you will be gathering up all those who illegally entered the USA?  Does this mean you will initiate a reverse crossing of the border?

Because the deity of your choosing forbid they all get stuck in a country who's leader is just another dictator.  

And too...Does that mean all those American companies that fled to Mexico will now be returned??!

~*~*~*~*~*~

To Presidente Enrique Peña Nieto

Él sin pecado, que tire la primera piedra

And ...

Quien vive en narcisista castillos de cristal no debería arrojar ladrillos!

Via con Dias!

Hypocrites to the Left of Me, Narcissists to the Right and Here I am Stuck In the Middle with You!

*ADDENDUM*

 I wish to thank all, in particularly some of those liberals,  who with their horrible & inhumane and anything but compassionate tweets, Face Book comments, etc. regarding the death of Mrs. Reagan.  You have proven my points that I lay out here in this article!  And you have shown, once again, that when it comes to being nasty and narcissistic... Congratulations!  You're still the reigning champions! 

Now tell me again how you're better  and  different than Trump?  

ADDENDUM:  President Enrique Peña Nieto of Mexico  obviously believes he has any merit.  His people are leaving in DROVES to come to America.  But the Libs don't see that.  

*~*~*~*~*~*

I was reading over some of the stuff on Face Book regarding Donald Trump and I came across one post about how "prominent psychiatrists" are claiming that Trump is a classic narcissist and has narcissistic personality disorder.

 Hmmm...interesting.

I have been studying this particular disorder for a number of years and I know that one of the many signs of this narcissism/narcissistic personality disorder  is if you don't go along with what the person with this disorder is saying he/she becomes vulgar, vindictive and begins to lash out.  Some of the other warning signs...they make empty threats to leave and never return.  They are emotional and mental abusers.  And they have a very strong sense of entitlement.

Granted, Trump is a loud mouth arrogant S.O.B.  There's no doubt about that.   And yea he's a bit much.  You won't get any arguments out of me in this regard.  But how is it that these so-called experts only pin Trump with this particular personality disorder?  Are they living in some kind of bubble?  Have they spent their entire existence under some rock?  Anyone with any level of awareness would presume so.  But I shall leave that pondering for another article.  For now...my real  question is...does this disorder--this narcissism/narcissistic personality disorder--come with short and long term memory loss as well?   Cause it appears to me a great many of people, be they in politics, in the media, entertainment industry, what have you,  has more than a touch of this  narcissistic personality disorder.  And at the same time appear to have some kind of memory malfunction.

And the reason I bring it up here is...I remember how staunch  Liberals react whenever someone opposes their views. Oh they can attack you from every angle.  But if you take up for yourself...they start crying victim!  And/or call you vulgar names.  And I will point out that since Obama showed up...that whole race card thing has really gotten a good work out.  Boy!  Has it EVER!  Sense of entitlement and mental & emotional abuse at it's peak here folks!

And then these  very same people are accusing Donald Trump of hating women.  Haters of women you say? Anyone recall how they--the Liberals-- treated Sarah Palin?   What Obama said about her?   Yea.  Thought so!   And let's not forget that little disrespectful dig Obama made about Mrs. Reagan years ago either.  **ADDENDUM* 03/8/16:  Obama chose not to attend Mrs. Reagan's funeral.  Clearly a snub and Highly disrespectful.  But this is what we all collectively come to expect from Obama.  l

And Republicans...You didn't defend Mrs. Palin.  You should have.  But you didn't.

What about Carly Fiorina?  Talk about vicious.   Wow!  Those gals on The View are something else aren't they? 

And now just recently...the attacks on Mrs. Reagan (God Rest Her dear soul).   Seriously Libs?  Attacking a dead woman?  And her family?   Can we say gross lack of empathy?  Gross lack of respect?  Absence of humanity and compassion???!  Now what was that you were saying about Trump again?!



Then there's political correctness.  Let us not forget that it is the Liberals who push for political correctness in the first place.   Wouldn't want to offend anyone.  And yet it's perfectly OKAY for them to offend those who dare to disagree with them.   Mental and emotional abuse at it's best folks!      It's also very much like what Adolph Hitler did.  Controlling free speech--very Hitler-esqe.  


Over the years, both Democrats and GOP members alike have shown a severe lack of empathy for the people they are sworn to serve and protect.  The Democrats and many of the GOP have wagged their fingers in our collective faces and admonished anyone who opposes them; those who oppose them are accused of being racists and haters and having no compassion for anyone else.  But yet these same politicians ignore the needs of the very ones who help them get into office.   They ignore and refuse to help those born here in America. (That's lack of empathy right there my friends!)   Ahhh yes!  The politicians claim there is no money to help our homeless, our vets, our children and elderly; but yet they managed to come up with funding for illegals and refugees. 


Then there is Donald Trump is so much like Hitler tripe.  Really?  Hmmm...Democrats/Liberals and many (if not all) of the GOP have been pushing really hard to disarm the American people; they've cut our military down to the bare minimum; they took control of the media; made it impossible for anyone other than the race baiting, openly racist, politically correct, narrow minded, excessively bias, godless,  Cop & Military hating free loaders to speak their mind freely and openly.  (why do I feel like I should be goose stepping and yelling zeke heil here?)  *LOL*

And I feel it worthy to mention the NDAA  (National Defense Authorization Act).  Anyone remember that bill that was signed into law?  Anyone remember what is in it?   And were you aware that it was  46 Democrats who voted yea and the other 38 votes were  Republicans?   And it was a Democratic President who signed it into law?  You probably don't remember any of it because most of you were too busy watching Ms. Cyrus twerking and sticking out her tongue.   

Oh and just a little hint of one of the things the NDAA is--it gives the government the right to take you into custody and hold you without even giving you a reason for doing so.    

Didn't Hitler do something like that when he was doing his thing back in the day?  Yea.  I believe he did!

While the Democrats are putting into power people who are against America and American values, ignoring the slaughter of Christians while hailing the Islamic state as being the very fabric this nation was built on...the do nothing GOP just stands there gawking in silence. Or they out right side with their counterparts. As the 38 Republicans who voted in favor of the NDAA has proven!


They harp on Trump not disavowing the KKK/White Supremacists fast enough.  And yet...and yet...Democrats and Republican leaders alike have not publicly called out and denounce known racists and race baiters such as Louis Farrakhan & Al Sharpton;  they have not publicly admonish the perpetuation of hatred of our police & military.    Don't recall Miss Beyonce being called out by the political machine for her "performance" at the Super Bowl.  

 Yep STILL waiting on Obama, his administration and the entire Liberal populace AND the GOP to denounce the Islamic state known as Jihad.  Still waiting for these politicians to denounce the tradition of child brides, women being made sex slaves, women being stoned,  etc., etc. etc.   Now what was that again about Trump hating women?  Yea.  uh-huh. 

 And let's not forget to mention how both Democrats and the GOP are doing less than nothing about the crimes committed by  Hillary Clinton.   Email Gate anyone?    And let us never forget Benghazi.  Though I'm sure Mrs. Clinton, her supporters and the entire political establishment wishes we would!  And speaking of her supporters...I couldn't help but notice all of you keep forgetting all the lies this woman tells.  Oh yes, yes.  We don't like her because she's a woman!  Yea, sure.  Okay.  So what makes her better than Trump?  She lies!  She's arrogant!  She's certainly flippant whenever it comes to serious matters.   She claims to have been broke.   But that doesn't matter...does it? 

And last but never least...the ever present talking heads of the entertainment industry.    So some of you are threatening to leave if Trump wins the Oval Office?    Wow!  Really?  You truly believe you're that important that you could sway people by your empty threats?   Wow!  Think a little too much of ourselves don't we?   And you call Trump  narcissistic?  Really?  Interesting!

Oh just so we're all clear here's a newsflash for all you in the entertainment industry...nobody with any sense gives two craps on a cracker if  and when you leave.   Just STFU and do it already!  

And you the so called media...you have proven yourselves to be nothing more than Jerry Springer wanna be's.   

Anybody remember how Hitler controlled the media back in the day?   A little thing called propaganda through controlled media really has a way into the hearts and mind of so many people.  Don't it?  

But you know you're losing your power to hold their attention when people start calling you out on your half truths, out right lying, race baiting and pseudo reporting.  Nice try though! 

*~*~*~*~*~*

 


Let's face the facts here folks... the GOP,  the Democratic party and their lap dogs aka the fear mongering biased media and the entertainment industry all  fear Trump for a good reason.  And it is  not for any of the reasons they give.  Nay!  They fear Trump because they know he is a reflection of those who are beyond fed up with the freeze dried BULL shit aka politics as usual!
 

*~*~*~*~*~* 

I find it highly amusing these talking heads are calling Trump a racist, narcissistic  and accusing him of being Hitler.  I find it amusing because of the things the Democrats, the GOP, the media and the entertainment industry have done, are doing and/or trying to do is incredibly and openly narcissistic, racist and very  Hitler-like.  So I guess what it really boils down to is three little words:  POT...KETTLE...BLACK!

*~*~*~*~*~*

So what have we learned children if anything else?  

He/She who lives in  narcissistic glass castles shouldn't throw bricks!  

And?

He/She who lives in sheet covered houses shouldn't burn crosses in their neighbor's yard 'cause they don't know where those embers might land!

VERY GOOD CHILDREN!
