Dropping Some Truth

rant-warningI feel the need to drop a little truth on y’all. So buckle up…I’m about to be politically incorrect.

We don’t need to take America back. No one stole it. It’s right here…you’re sitting in it. Chillax.

Mexico isn’t going to pay for the wall and we’re not going to deport millions of people and break up families. If you think either one is a good idea, you’re not smart and probably not a person I want to hang out with.

We don’t live in a democracy. Technically we are a Federal Republic. But in reality we are ruled by an oligarchy. If you don’t know what that is, look it up. Reading will do you good. You probably need to do more of it.

FoxNews, CNN, and MSNBC have an agenda and are not “fair and balanced” or in any way unbiased. I’ll reiterate…read more. Read newspapers (even online ones). Read lots of opinions and sources and then (stay with me here), THINK! Form your own opinion based on as many facts as your can brain can tolerate.

Speaking of facts…there actually is a difference between facts, opinions, and propaganda. You should learn the difference. (Another opportunity to show off your mad reading skills.)

Science is real. We know things because of science. Don’t be afraid of it. You have an iPhone and Facebook because of science. It’s your friend.

Global warming or “climate change” as the cool kids call it IS REAL. Anyone who tells you it’s not real is not a smart person and probably should not be dressing themselves or caring for children.

Racism exists. And you are probably a little racist and should work on that. Seriously.

American Christians are not under attack. We are not being persecuted. We wield so much power in this country that politicians pretend to be Christian just so we will vote for them. No one is trying to take your bible away from you. The gay people are not destroying our families—we don’t need any help from them, thank you. We do a fine job of that by ourselves. So stop saying we are persecuted. You sound stupid.

Poor people need help. If you’re not helping them but complaining about how the government helps them with your money you are not a nice person.

Be nice to the people who teach your children. Don’t send them nasty emails or yell at them. Their job is 10,000 times harder than your stupid job. You are not a professional educator so just shut your mouth and be thankful someone is willing to teach your offspring.

You don’t know what Common Core is. You think you do, but you don’t unless you’re a teacher. So stop complaining about math problem memes on Facebook. You can’t do the math anyway.

ISIS is not an existential threat to the United States. We do not need to rebuild our military. Our military is the strongest, scariest, most badass killing machine the world has ever seen. So stop being afraid and stop letting politicians and pundits scare you.

Guns do in fact kill people. That’s what they are designed to do. If you feel you need a gun to protect yourself in America, you are probably living in the wrong neighborhood and should move before you go out and buy a gun. There are like a billion places to live where you won’t need a gun, or even need to lock your front door.

If you do own a gun, then make sure you know how to use it really, really, really well. Seriously…get some training because you still don’t know how to record stuff with your DVR. Go to the gun range and shoot the thing a lot. Learn how to clean it properly and be able to disassemble it and reassemble it with your eyes closed. It’s a freaking gun and it deserves that level of care, proficiency and respect. And for God’s sake, keep it locked up and away from your kids.

If you are even a little bit crazy, sad, or pissed off…you shouldn’t have a gun. And the Founding Fathers would totally agree with me.

Stop being suspicious of American Muslims. I guarantee the guy sitting next to you in the cubicle at work is probably more of a threat to you than any Muslim. He has to listen to your uninformed ranting day after day and has probably already imagined very colorful and creative ways to end you.

Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, and all the rest are ENTERTAINERS! Stop getting your opinions from them. (Here’s where that reading thing can really be an advantage.)

Stop sharing Facebook memes that tell me to share or else Jesus won’t bless me with a laundry basket full of cash. That’s not how prayer works. And I don’t want money delivered (even from God) in a laundry basket. Nobody ever washes those things out and they just keep putting nasty dirty clothes in them. Yuck!

We are the United States of America and we can afford to house every homeless veteran, feed every child, and take in every refugee and still have money left over for Starbucks and a bucket of KFC.

Unless you can trace your family line back to someone who made deerskin pants look stylish and could field dress a buffalo, you are a descendent of an immigrant. Please stop saying that immigrants are ruining our country. Such comments are like a giant verbal burrito stuffed with historical ignorance, latent racism, and xenophobia all wrapped in a fascist tortilla.

That’s all for now. I feel better.

Uh huh. The threat of ISIS is REAL. Global warming is not real but is just another attempt of govt to tax and control the "unwashed masses" that they so greatly despise. Abortion is REAL. REAL babies die during abortions, so go chillax and ponder the 57 million mass genocide of America.
Poor people need the ability to help themselves. Give them a fish, they eat for a day, teach them to fish they eat for a lifetime. Thanks to all the corruptocats in Washington, both Dems and Repos, we have squandered our biggest asset, which is the American labor force and sent our jobs overseas. So, no amount of handouts will help anyone when they are not given any opportunity to help themselves and you have a fraudulent POTUS pretending that unemployment is 5%.
The effects of mass illegal immigration is REAL. We can see what is happening in Germany. REAL women and children being raped. This is also costing Germany REAL money in the millions and millions. All of the above is REAL.
So, if some of you wanna sit back and smoke a doobie and pretend "it's all good", then you may. The rest of us are figthing for our children's futures.

Unless global warming was scientifically shown to be a fraud. Oh, ignore that science! LOL! Ignore all science that doesn't fit with the communist, liberal agenda. Ignore the science of life and pretend that children are blobs of tissue despite 4d imaging and the fact that they feel pain when you stand by smirking as their limbs and are torn and crushed. Sure. Go pat yourself on the back. Go put a ribbon or a bumper sticker on your car and pretend you really, really "care" when in reality conservatives do far more , give far more, and volunteer to help far more while you pat yourselves on the back with your bumper sticker slogans.

  People are only killed by guns in "bad neighborhoods"?  Nobody is ever the victim of a home invasion in a good neighborhood?  How are people supposed to move out of bad neighborhoods when there are no jobs flan ?  Detroit is the model of liberal Utopia and liberal govt allowed to fulfill it's vision.  People don't become better on welfare flan.  It destroys human initiative and pride.  It destroys them as a person.  It sucks the human spirit dry and destroys their ability to fend for themselves and be self reliant.  It results in broken lives and broken families.  Welfare should be a short term, temporary help, not a long term solution that liberals want.  99 weeks to collect umemployment?  Realy?  But, then again, your political ILK have no trouble sending our jobs to Mexico or even undercutting our low wage workers by allowing businesses to hire illegals for even less, all the while crying  about minimum wage while you are allowing a slave labor class to develop in this country.  Who's the real racists?  You who want illegals "doing the jobs American won't do".  Sounds pretty racist to me to want a slave labor class of people to pick your vegetables and water your lawns.  Uh huh.  A subclass group that really aren't Americans so the minimum wage laws and other laws don't apply to them.  But, curiously, none of you can explain how that position is logical or squares with the boohooing and constant drumbeat to raise the minimum wage.

  Ross perot was right, NAFTA was a giant sucking sound of our jobs leaving this country.

 At least you can use language to make your point. I commend you for that.

Sweetie, believing that global warming is a fact has nothing to do with "the sky is falling." That award goes to those who see the Endtimes at least twice a week, because it plays into their indoctrination.

Global climate change is real, has been since the Earth was created. The notion that Humans can affect the atmosphere to the degree the Global Warming agenda spouts is lunacy. It's a money grab. Put the word "Green" in your business motto and the gov't will run to your doorstep to try to get you to take no interest loans or grants.

Guns are not just about defense against home invasions, they are to protect us from a tyrannical government.

It is not absurd to think that most illegals will leave. If we enforce our laws, especially those denying work to illegals, and ensure that welfare is not handed out like candy to illegals, there will be almost no reason for them to be here. And many will go back to their countries. There will always be some that stay, but that is because they are wanted criminals in their country of origin, and they will end up in our jails.

Enough money to feed every refugee? Sure, the government, i.e the taxpayer, has that money. Let's start with the farms. Just as Lenin and Stalin did. Government takes over control of the farms, lets the farmer stay on the land as long as they are able to work it, but receiving almost no food to feed his own family.

I could go on and on. The "points" this article makes totally disregards the reality. It's just another article playing on the heart strings of fantasy.

 And when the government "pays" for everything, their is no incentive to better oneself, no incentive to get a better education of provide for your family (the government will do that) no incentive to work harder because no matter how hard you work you will not be able to reap that hard work.

I have never seen an inanimate object kill. Ever. Well, except in movies. But to say "guns kill" is just ridiculous. Ignorant actually.

ISIS isn't a threat? Then I guess all those dead people slaughtered like animals are just figments of our collective imagination.

Christianity is under attack. Sermons are being collected, praying in public settings is being banned, God is being removed from everything. And we've seen it here.

Climate change is inevitable. It has NOTHING to do with people. It's arrogant to think humans can have that much power.

We could go through that farce of an article and dismantle it point by point, but it won't matter.

As long as the collective left have their heads in the sand, they will never see it.

They would actually cut off their own noses just so they don't have to see their own face.

 But what about mirrors? Shall we ban them?

It's naive to think that cars & big factories (among other things) have NO effect on the environment.

I get a little bit of a laugh when something labelled "Truth" includes much that isn't truth.

From the OP: We don’t live in a democracy. Technically we are a Federal Republic.
Actual truth: We live in a Democratic Republic.

From the OP: Global warming or “climate change” as the cool kids call it IS REAL
Actual truth: Yes it is. It's called climate cycles. Between Ice Ages, the Earth warms up, reaches a peak, and then cools back down again. We are in the warming up part of the cycle now.

From the OP: You don’t know what Common Core is.
Actual truth: Yes I do. It's garbage.

From the OP: Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, and all the rest are ENTERTAINERS!
Actual truth: they are overpaid blowhards.
O.k. that wasn't "Actual truth", that was only opinion. ;)

Best line in the whole OP.  The writer needs to take his own advice to heart.

Dropping Some Truth

rant-warningI feel the need to drop a little truth on y’all. So buckle up…I’m about to be politically incorrect.

We don’t need to take America back. No one stole it. It’s right here…you’re sitting in it. Chillax.

Mexico isn’t going to pay for the wall and we’re not going to deport millions of people and break up families. If you think either one is a good idea, you’re not smart and probably not a person I want to hang out with.

We don’t live in a democracy. Technically we are a Federal Republic. But in reality we are ruled by an oligarchy. If you don’t know what that is, look it up. Reading will do you good. You probably need to do more of it.

FoxNews, CNN, and MSNBC have an agenda and are not “fair and balanced” or in any way unbiased. I’ll reiterate…read more. Read newspapers (even online ones). Read lots of opinions and sources and then (stay with me here), THINK! Form your own opinion based on as many facts as your can brain can tolerate.

Speaking of facts…there actually is a difference between facts, opinions, and propaganda. You should learn the difference. (Another opportunity to show off your mad reading skills.)

Science is real. We know things because of science. Don’t be afraid of it. You have an iPhone and Facebook because of science. It’s your friend.

Global warming or “climate change” as the cool kids call it IS REAL. Anyone who tells you it’s not real is not a smart person and probably should not be dressing themselves or caring for children.

Racism exists. And you are probably a little racist and should work on that. Seriously.

American Christians are not under attack. We are not being persecuted. We wield so much power in this country that politicians pretend to be Christian just so we will vote for them. No one is trying to take your bible away from you. The gay people are not destroying our families—we don’t need any help from them, thank you. We do a fine job of that by ourselves. So stop saying we are persecuted. You sound stupid.

Poor people need help. If you’re not helping them but complaining about how the government helps them with your money you are not a nice person.

Be nice to the people who teach your children. Don’t send them nasty emails or yell at them. Their job is 10,000 times harder than your stupid job. You are not a professional educator so just shut your mouth and be thankful someone is willing to teach your offspring.

You don’t know what Common Core is. You think you do, but you don’t unless you’re a teacher. So stop complaining about math problem memes on Facebook. You can’t do the math anyway.

ISIS is not an existential threat to the United States. We do not need to rebuild our military. Our military is the strongest, scariest, most badass killing machine the world has ever seen. So stop being afraid and stop letting politicians and pundits scare you.

Guns do in fact kill people. That’s what they are designed to do. If you feel you need a gun to protect yourself in America, you are probably living in the wrong neighborhood and should move before you go out and buy a gun. There are like a billion places to live where you won’t need a gun, or even need to lock your front door.

If you do own a gun, then make sure you know how to use it really, really, really well. Seriously…get some training because you still don’t know how to record stuff with your DVR. Go to the gun range and shoot the thing a lot. Learn how to clean it properly and be able to disassemble it and reassemble it with your eyes closed. It’s a freaking gun and it deserves that level of care, proficiency and respect. And for God’s sake, keep it locked up and away from your kids.

If you are even a little bit crazy, sad, or pissed off…you shouldn’t have a gun. And the Founding Fathers would totally agree with me.

Stop being suspicious of American Muslims. I guarantee the guy sitting next to you in the cubicle at work is probably more of a threat to you than any Muslim. He has to listen to your uninformed ranting day after day and has probably already imagined very colorful and creative ways to end you.

Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, and all the rest are ENTERTAINERS! Stop getting your opinions from them. (Here’s where that reading thing can really be an advantage.)

Stop sharing Facebook memes that tell me to share or else Jesus won’t bless me with a laundry basket full of cash. That’s not how prayer works. And I don’t want money delivered (even from God) in a laundry basket. Nobody ever washes those things out and they just keep putting nasty dirty clothes in them. Yuck!

We are the United States of America and we can afford to house every homeless veteran, feed every child, and take in every refugee and still have money left over for Starbucks and a bucket of KFC.

Unless you can trace your family line back to someone who made deerskin pants look stylish and could field dress a buffalo, you are a descendent of an immigrant. Please stop saying that immigrants are ruining our country. Such comments are like a giant verbal burrito stuffed with historical ignorance, latent racism, and xenophobia all wrapped in a fascist tortilla.

That’s all for now. I feel better.

It is not absurd to think that most illegals will leave. If we enforce our laws, especially those denying work to illegals, and ensure that welfare is not handed out like candy to illegals, there will be almost no reason for them to be here. And many will go back to their countries. There will always be some that stay, but that is because they are wanted criminals in their country of origin, and they will end up in our jails.

Enough money to feed every refugee? Sure, the government, i.e the taxpayer, has that money. Let's start with the farms. Just as Lenin and Stalin did. Government takes over control of the farms, lets the farmer stay on the land as long as they are able to work it, but receiving almost no food to feed his own family.

I could go on and on. The "points" this article makes totally disregards the reality. It's just another article playing on the heart strings of fantasy.


 The article lost me when it claimed Facebook as a scientific feat.


Science gave us electricity, computers and monitors, even tablet computers.

Science (with federal funding for AARPANET) gave us the Internet.

Science gave me my eyeglasses when I was five, and my tiny hearing aids a couple of years ago.

Science gave me the Smallpox and Polio vaccines.

Can anyone really think that there would be Facebook without the scientific discoveries and advances that gave us Integrated Circuits?

 And all of those things came about because of a capitalist society - not a socialist one.

You really shouldn't post on meds...this is a ridiculous comment. Of course they exist in Socialist countries.  Because the free world made them available...

Socialism encourages mediocrity so yes the free thinking capitalists did all the creating while they do the borrowing of our ideas.

I have to say Capitalism encourages free thinking and encourages people to come up with new innovations. We live in a society where people with brilliant ideas and hard work can become rich. There will always be slackers and moochers. But with every good there is always a bad.

 They were not invented there.  There have been almost no important inventions or discoveries that have come out of socialist/communist societies. 

LOL--even Karl Marx and Max Engels did their writing--in capitalist nations.
