Fed up rant

[UberTong]

I've tried in recent times, the last couple of years to not let myself buy into everything conspiracy and become a conspiracy nut. But I feel more and more, everywhere I look I'm surrounded by shit and things are falling apart. I feel like me, the civilian joe blow, doesn't matter anymore. The gov will do what they want, count the votes they want, and find any loophole they want. Shit people sheeple, shit government, fucking idiots and wastes (people) ruining our country such as the ACLU, NAACP, Communist party of America supporting Obama, illegal immigration, fake birth certificates of our presidents, forced Obamacare, on and on. Now this whole debt debacle, what a fucking joke, honestly just a big joke.

What's gonna happen to this once great country in my lifetime? I'm 28 years old, married, Christian, patriot, friend, brother, son. I'm scared for what I may see here on our soil in the next 40-50 years. Civil war? A nuke from Kim Jong or the crazy pos in Iran?

Sorry just fired up today, you guys are my shrink sometimes and I thank you for it.

Good rant. It is not a conspiracy, it is life and sometimes life gets tough for the good guys.

Hopefully the conservatives can change the country's direction in 2012. If the current resident gets re-elected WATCH OUT.

Not nearly long enough, hardly any swearing, punctuation and reasonable grammar, NOT TYPED IN ALL F**KING CAPS.

Otherwise, pretty good rant...[Beer]

[UberTong]

Thanks everyone who commented, good stuff and I feel a little better. Especially after hearing Uncle Ted talk, man that guy rocks. Thanks mtn man.

[Mtn.man]

Yeah I wish he would just tell it like it is... LOL

[Ronin13]

One thing you forgot to mention: I ask myself all the time- since when did the white man go from being evil in the eyes of the Black Panther Party to being pretty much evil in all eyes but republicans? And when did republican become such a bad word? I was "insulted" the other day when I told a hippy that handouts where what were draining our national bank account (making a negative number even bigger into the negative) and she said "Gawd! You are such a Republican!" It was directed as an insult, but I just said "thanks, I try."
I too am fed up, and I may not have kids because I fear they won't get the same kind of childhood I had- a happy, fun, carefree one.

Spot on Ronin. Being white and christian God forbid I state my views in this country. I'm instantly a racist, angry white male. Well guess what, stereotypes come from fucking reality. There are white people, there is white trash. Those are the ones I will comment on since again God forbid a black person is offended, after all 200 years ago a relative of mine did something bad, so you're right...feel free to trample all over me. Oh, and watch what happens when elections come and I see a group of black panthers at my local voting booth. Game fucking on. Better on the f-bombs this time guys? Fuck. [Beer]

I like how black people try to charge me with something I didn't do: "Bet your great grand parents owned slaves."
Uh wrong, my family immigrated (legally) from Ireland and Scotland back in the early 1900's, so slavery was already over... or the joke I say: "No slavery was over when my family came here, they got off the boat and said 'Fuck! We have to do all our work ourselves!'"

[UberTong]

My great grandparents were immigrants as well, the legal way. Man oh man our forefathers and ancestors would be sick seeing the land they fought so hard for, to be a part of, in shambles like this. We gotta stay together guys.

I ask myself all the time- since when did the white man go ... to being pretty much evil in all eyesWhere are you guys seeing this hate? Are you being told that this is a problem by TV? Are these encounters you've had yourself, or what?

I don't see it. Never have problems with anyone. I've never gotten shit for being white or male. Are you going out of your way to troll people? I'm not saying there aren't people racist against whites, but it's just such a small minority I don't know how or where you'd be interacting with them ... Or feel that it's really a problem. There are bigots of every stripe, they're a slim and shrinking minority.

I just can't understand the fear or rage here.

Someone actually said this to you? Just a random person on the street? WTF Where?

At a party, he was a big black guy that was a friend of a friend who just wouldn't shut up about how evil white people are, and how there is a huge rift between the races even today. I would have done something but I was in a small group of white people among many blacks who were listening to this guy preach.
I've been the subject of many racial debates. I hear it all the time, so not trolling for a response, actually been in the middle of it a lot.

Hoosier, there is hardly fear here. Imagine a young black man of the same age as me standing up in a town hall meeting and saying "I'm black and I'm proud of it". Instantly he has people applauding, numerous organizations that are PRO BLACK and anti white supporting his statement. Now imagine me standing up and saying the same in my own terms. I'm white and I'm proud of it, I'm also proud to be a Christian. Let's just say I wouldn't get the same support in today's society. So I'm less enraged or afraid of it, but more just sick of apologizing to the PC world for who I am. Make sense?

[UberTong]

Hoosier, what would be said of you (I'm assuming your caucasian for this argument), me and Ronin and Ranger heading downtown to beat some black ass at night? "The attacks in downtown denver were not racially motivated"- Denver post. If a group of white guys did that??? We'd have every organization that is pro black sending our spineless government out to put a stop to it.

Great rant!

I am so sick of "We the People" accepting this, justifying it, making excuses for it or blaming fellow Americans for it! What a joke!

How many of you have tried to refinance your house, modify the terms of your house or even lost your house in this economy? If it hasn't affected you personally, my money is you know a family member or friend or a friend of a friend etc. And I'm not talking about someone who took a risky arm or interest only loan. Talking about those of us who bought our house with a 30 year fixed rate, when the market was high, in good faith that it would maintain IT’S VALUE. Now the same bastards that made you the loan won’t talk to you unless you have thousands of dollars to put down... you know what I’m done with my rant. You get the idea, what another joke!

THIS IS AMERICA!!!!

If you read history about the Irish and Scottish, They too were enslaved, for far longer than American slavery. Especially the Irish. Throw that back into their face next time. They tend to shut right up.

[UberTong]

Since this is my rant thread, I'd thought I would just throw this in here. My buddy just sent this to me at work and I thought it was pretty good. I'm tired of debating, fuck it.

I routinely have to check myself to see if I'm just being paranoid and over the top. It sucks when I realize that my concerns are grounded in reality. It's amazing how things have gone to hell and are only getting worse.

Thanks chevy, at least I'm not crazy I guess.

I just use the whole 'watch Braveheart', that's what my family had to endure. Local lord: Congrats on the wedding, but as is the right we British lords have over you Scots I will now sleep with your new bride.
I think also if American History shows, the Irish, Scottish, and other immigrants from Europe were stoned, beaten, assaulted, mistreated and denied jobs when they first got here... look at us today though! We're not killing each other in record numbers, and 1/4 of us aren't in some form of corrections process (current or past).

Damn right. And some of this country's greatest leaders are from Scottish or Irish descent.
I am of mostly Scottish descent. My last name is a major city in Scotland. Oppression is nothing new. Our ancestors just chose to better themselves, rather than wallow in self pity for shit that happened a very long time ago.

Fortunately it never happened. The very idea of an Englishman having to sleep with someone from Scotchland, virgin or not...

[jmg8550]

It's SCOTLAND, please spell it right. And there is no proof of Prima Nocte either happening or not. I wouldn't put it past the Brits though.

[jake]

That's what I said, Scotchland :D

And it's primae noctis, please spell it right [Beer]

Sorry, I'm a little out of practice when it comes to Latin.[Coffee]

[jake]

No problem. I did study it in high school, but I only know enough to get by. You know, buy a paper, order a coffee, ask where the station or the American embassy is.
