politics...sigh
So I usually avoid politics because they are so volatile. But this government shut down thing is going way to far. How many thousands of people have been laid off because of Obamacare? How many people are now working for no pay right now? How many children and other innocents are having to live with the reality that the people supporting them may no longer be able to give them food or medical care? Parents dealing with knowing that they are running out of money and there is no help in sight? My family is one of those families that are dealing with the WORK WITHOUT PAY things. My husband isn't allowed to take a sick day or vacation day because he will be told "don't bother coming back". He is currently on a ten day stretch because leave and days off weren't scheduled though management before the shut down. He hasn't gotten paid since the shut down and wont get paid until it ends. And that is only if the government keeps it's promise to pay back fees. We are one of the lucky ones that put money away, but that doesn't make this right.
We are suppose to accept the government essentially demanding slave labor? How many people out there live pay check to pay check and are now told "OH WELL"? These are people who were elected by US to represent US and to be public servant's. Instead we are paying their six or more figure pay checks, while they [deleted] off at our expense. What is this [deleted] about shutting down the ocean? Shutting down free monuments? Shutting down 100% volunteer activities?
Why do we keep putting up with all this [deleted]? What the [deleted] are we doing letting this [deleted] get this bad?
I don't want Obamacare. I think, personally, that this will open the American public up to massive and major privacy, ethical, moral, legal and constitutional violations. There are parts of Obamacare that give your employer your personal medical information? They refuse to talk to parents about their minor childrens medical records WITHOUT the childs approval. In case you don't know that means your 5 year old child has to agree to you seeing their medical file BEFORE the doctor will talk to you about any problems they find. This is part of the UN attempts at "helping" us. There are also parts about reporting "child abuse" in cases where there is one or more fire arms in the home. I own firearms, I am going to have children, and I am offended by that. I know child abuse, I hate child abuse, my family is still trying to sort out some massive problems resulting from child abuse (physical, sexual, mental). I think child abusers should have their [deleted] beat to pulp. So when things like that come up in something for the "betterment of all peoples" I get pissed off.
I am a conservative, gun owning, voting, thinking and challenging American who is sick to death of being the fall guy because the people who are suppose to be working are sitting on their [deleted] and not listening. I am angry and tired of all this [deleted] that we are being put through over and over again, because we apparently can't figure out how to get new people in.
I personally have every right to be [deleted] off over this, and so does every other American.
So I needed to vent, I read one to many articles today about Congress, the House and the president all blaming people like me, conservitives, gun owners, non-Democrats (I'm not Republican, but I am also not Democrat, I believe in a government for the people, by the people, of the people, I also believe in a smaller government).
Another thing that drives me up the wall and off a cliff, is blaming every single stupid act done against the people of the world and innocents as "MENTAL ILLNESS". Like labling a person is going to make it okay to [deleted] up their lives and reasoning for subjecting those deemed "mentally ill" to second class citizenship.
Current legislation being argued makes "mentally ill" and "legally married couples" second class citizens. Both would be given fewer rights, fewer benefits and charged higher fees. If you read the newest DCM-V everything from hissy-fits to not having a "mental illness" is considered a "mental illness" of some kind. This whole thing is so far out of control, and there seems to be no stopping it.
When do we say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH and fight back?
A "mental illness" shouldn't be a "socially acceptable" catch all for bad behavior. Nor should it be used the way it is being used in the media and multi-media. They have literally made it a mental health a joke. It's "funny" to say you have a mental illness, it's an excuse for why someone did something different, it's okay for your three year old child to punch and bite and kick you because of it.
There are few things more terrifying now than trying to find help for a mental illness problem. Not only do you get stripped of personal rights, but people look down on you, they mock you, they shun you, they judge you, they expect you to be stupid and slow. Medical fields pump you FULL of useless and possibly deadly medications, people start medicating their small children with adult strength medications because they "couldn't deal with his/her energy level anymore". I saw a 6 (SIX) year old, on the kinds of medication I am on, only at 10x (TEN TIMES) the amount I was taking, because her parents couldn't deal with her activity level. "We couldn't deal with her wanting to run around outside for hours, or playing on the swing set all day. When she started having tea parties with her dolls we knew something was wrong and took her to get medication" is what the mother said. WHAT THE [deleted]?
You know what I am NOT "mentally ill" I am NOT "mentally defective" I am NOT "broken" I am NOT "crazy" I am NOT an "idiot"
I am a human being who happens to have more mood swings and a slightly harder time dealing with them than some people. I am a human being who isn't perfect, and have admitted it.
So before you go and judge me as "a crazy" look at yourself and tell me how you are so perfect!
Otherwise
GO [deleted] YOURSELF!

I feel better thank's for reading.
