America, the beautiful...

....and unintelligible.

American #1,
Whant whant whant whant wha wha wha.

American #2,
Blah blah blah blah blah

American #1
Whant whant whant whant whant wha wha

America, the beautiful.

A fine example of authentic American gibberish.

Gibberish, yes. But let's be reasonable. Daisy was prob'ly drunk. Ya ever get drunk? It's happened to me. It'll happen again. Probably (read: certainly).

I very rarely drink. Just fed up with this constant ridiculousness. This is literally what I feel I've heard for two years now.

To clarify, not drunk and never been drunk. I have a drink or two socially every six months maybe.

Cool. My mistake. Keep speaking your opinion, brother. Rickey likes opinions.

Cash me outside how bah dah.

I just saw this on a dr Phil commercial two days ago. Precisely my sentiments.

If you can't look around at the beauty that is America and the blessings that are yours to enjoy in it, you will never be happy, especially when you keep peppering every discussion with negative stuff.

Tonight you will be with friends watching the game. You had the means to buy groceries to make some yummy dishes. You care enough about your friends to wear yourself out cooking good things for them, similarly to what we do at Thanksgiving and Christmas (and granted, we huff and puff while cooking and cleaning it up afterwards, but what a blessing!). That is America the beautiful. You can worship where you like, or not if you don't want to (though I recommend it highly). You can get an education (women can't do that in every country). You can basically do anything you set your mind to doing if you want it badly enough.

Said in another way, you take the bad with the good. And there is much that is good.

I am very patriotic, happy and spiritual person. Yes, I have admitted this has been my place to express frustration. This stuff is effecting my daily and relationships. This is a better and healthier choice than engaging in my real life and creating issues when I think it is wiser to try and let this pass. It has been extremely difficult being in a "democratic" state and having relationships that have been functioning and loving for many years become difficult due to this nonsense in our very negative culture right now. I am not a person that lives in negative and hate, I do live in gratitude and patriotism. That is why this has finally become too much for me to deal with anymore. I thought it would be over with the election And it is just ten times worse.

But thank you for the reminder, it is something I recognize and am frustrated at the community and country not recognizing it. I did not spend my day with the people engaged in this mania and did have a wonderful day. I was very grateful the super bowl decided to not engage in the political. It was refreshing and renewing.

This also makes me very sad to not have a love and pride of our country. As a military family, this is a huge part of my identity. I sing and teach the children patriotic songs and we march with American flags playing parade. I am very frustrated and discouraged by the tone of our country. So yes, I have been very negative. I find this stuff negative and sad. And I am wore down by it.
