We’ve never had it so good
We have some people that whine, cry, holler and sing the blues and yet “they never had it so good.” They blame others for what they brought on for themselves. If you conduct yourself negatively, you get treated the same. Wake up! You get back what you give. The old saying, “Fight fire with fire.” These type of irregular individuals can’t let age old problems go and melt away. They have a hunger to ingest opposition constantly. It seems to be their appetite for a full course dinner.
There’s adequate opportunity for “anyone” to achieve success especially with discriminating laws prevailing for minorities. It just takes a little effort. Effort seems to be a weakness that employs those complaining for employment and respect. There are useless people in this world because that is their desire. It’s much easier to consider robbery, assault and drugs. “Anyone” carrying and the usage of a weapon irreverently should suffer the consequences. You earned it! Al Capone said, “You can get further with a gun than a kind word.” Bullcrap! about his philosophy. It should be said, “You can get further with respect for yourself.”
All “nationalities” in our brutal society deal with heartache in every shape, size and form. I’ve had my share of injustice and unkindness throughout my 72 years of life. For example, there’s a “double standard” in reference to discrimination of race. I’ve been referred to as “Honky” and the negative slur is ignored personally and politically it’s O.K. On the other side of racial word usage it’s objectionable and considered offensive. Remember what we said as kids, “Sticks and stones will break my bones, but names will never hurt me.” I deal with it and salvaged my maltreatment to the best of my ability.
Myself and others like me didn’t carry signage and shoot our mouths off in defiance because we felt stepped on, pushed and discredited. We persevered. Fair and unbiased treatment has priority for “all nationalities” except when you step out of bounds and over the line of civility. Being too liberal (rights) is taken advantage of and abused. Disrespect for the “flag of America” and anthem was the load that broke the wagon down. Find a sensible intelligent statement to protest resentment. Hundreds of thousands of men and women died for the “flag” so you can have it so good today and earn a respectful place in society as opposed to bygone years.
There’s a multitude of minorities that have achieved so. Congratulations for them! You persevered. Particular people have a passion to use the nonsensical approach of liberal rights issue to their advantage. The dangerously life-threatening job law enforcement takes upon themselves to keep the criminal at bay deserves more than respect. They deserve a “special calendar day” of attention.
Acting in performance of their responsibilities, it’s ridiculously repulsive of their being condemned and abused as if they are the criminal. Policemen/policewomen are being recognized for brutality rather than the rightness of morality. Liberalism is reversing the role of the criminal and law enforcement. Policemen/policewomen react to the intellectual ability of their training to extinguish a criminal offense or attempt. A police officer’s life is at risk!
A criminal can’t be trusted. We need more strong arm of the law in this savage and criminal infested society. Not just a slap on the hand. This society isn’t kindergarten. Horace Greely, a notable American newspaper editor, was quoted as saying, “Only one thing endures man and that is quality character.”
