What is wrong with my brain?

[holeinboatoutatsea]

I don't seem to like war, international "skirmishes" or even regional flare-ups. When I see pictures of the results, my head and heart both bleed with sorrow.

I'm not too happy with cutting off people's sources of income, ability to put a roof over their heads, or denying them the ability to purchase something nutritional to eat.

I'm not impressed with "leaders" that tell me I should be fearful, and yet carry on as usual at the same time. What am I to be fearful of? Names and faces of people that may or not even be real, that I will not meet or have to deal with in 400 lifetimes?

I'm not pleased with the idea of tinkering with the constitution in order to deny certain patriotic American citizens their rights.

It actually causes me pain to listen to people make speeches riddled with lies.

It also causes me pain to think of how this country was a few short years ago. I was optimistic. I was angry at a faction of what I consider to be mafia-type bastards, but never imagined people at peace rallies would be forced to demonstrate one-half mile away while government supporters are able to show their mispelled words to the world via CNN, FOX, and even what used to be Cronkite's CBS.

I never thought the word "liberal" would connotate meanings that have no meaning in reality.

I never thought it would be "faddish" to hate, detest, and demean others.

What is wrong with my brain, and why are they "right?"

1. True sentience is a curse

As you are discovering. It isn't pleasant at all but it doesn't mean there's anything wrong with you of course.

As in most things, the correct course is usually the most difficult one. If it were easy, Republicans would do it. :)

2. They aren't right

They just try to bully everybody into, at least, pretending they think they are. Kind of like known knowns and known unknowns, north, south, west and east around there somewhere. It's all a scam. The emperor is naked and soon he will find shame.

3. Because Christian Fundamentalism

despises democracy.

4. Nothing. You are human.

Unfortunately, acting and thinking like a human being seems to qualify one for abuse and ridicule these days.

Don't change. You never want to be accepted by those who think and feel otherwise.

5. Happy a few short years ago?

Me being a democrat of sound mind. I just wonder what you were so happy about just a few short years ago. You were optomistic but you were angry. I'm just curious as to what that means.

8. "I never thought it would be "faddish" to hate, detest, and demean others"

No one political party has a monopoly on that one. That is just another disgusting human trait that exists equally in all parties. The best way to treat people that espouse those emotions is to shun them.
