Conservatives = bad for America.
I have come to the conclusion that Conservatives have swallowed so many lies and are so scared of reality that they have become Americas worst enemy ever.
They have taken on this dark thought process. This distorted version of the American Dream that takes the saying “Pull yourself up by the boot straps†and makes into a type of excuse to allow suffering. And, if left unchecked, makes the true dream of “For the People, By the People†nonexistent.
They have no clue as to the suffering that is taking place in their very own communities. They live in a way that keeps them blind, a way that they only see “what about me?â€
It is this “What about me?†attitude that allows corporations to pay nothing to their employees. It is also what is blinding them to the necessary changes that need to take place if this country is to survive for at least another hundred years. It also allows for prices to grow in a way that no matter how much we get wages up to, the prices will be raised to make it where it is as if no progress was made.
We must get these people to understand how much they are hurting America before it is to late!
Let’s take a look at how YOU take the saying “pull yourself up by the boot straps.â€
A rancher expends much time, effort, and money to raise cattle. When the cattle is ready to be “harvested†much time, effort, and money is used separating it into its various parts. One of the parts being the hide.
Much time, effort, and money is expended preparing the hide to be used as leather.
The boot maker buys the leather and expends much time, effort, and money using the leather to make a pair of boots with straps.
While the rancher sweated you sat in an air conditioned McDonalds using their WiFi to beg for money on WishaDUpe.
While the people in the slaughter house sweated you kicked back on your cot in the Sally distributing bed bugs.
While the people in the tannery sweated you were in a library using their computers to post at DU.
While the people at the boot maker sweated you were making goggly eyes at Chief Pumping Squaw.
After sitting around while everyone else sweated during the entire process, you now think that the pair of boots should just be FREELY GIVEN to you…because you magically deserve them somehow.
You also think that you should be FREELY GIVEN a dwelling so you will have a place to keep the boots…because you magically deserve it somehow.
And to top it all off, you think should be assigned to actually place the boots on your feet and pull them up because such labor is beneath you and because you magically deserve it somehow.
You know, Amber, I’ve tried to stay out of your free-ride fantasy, but you’re starting to piss me off, bitch.
