I saw this in an online article-won't share about what, but I thought it was dead on balls accurate:
What has America become?
Has America become the land of special interest and home of the
double standard? Let’s see: If we lie to the Congress, it’s a felony
and if Congress lies to us it’s just politics. If we dislike a black person,
we’re a racist and if a black dislikes whites, it’s their 1st Amendment
right. The government spends millions to rehabilitate criminals and
they do almost nothing for the victims. In public schools you can teach
that homosexuality and lesbianism is ok, but you better not use the
word God in the process. You can murder a child in the mothers womb,
but it’s wrong to execute a mass murderer. We don’t burn books in
America, we now rewrite them. We got rid of the communist & socialist
threat by renaming them progressives. If you protest against Obama’s
policies you’re a terrorist, but if you burn an American flag or George
Bush in effigy, it’s your 1st Amendment right.
You can have pornography on TV or the internet, but you better not
put a nativity scene in a public park during Christmas. In America,
criminals are now called sick people. The government takes money
from those who work hard & gives it to those who are lazy. Parenting
has been replaced with Ritalin & video games. The land of opportunity
is now the land of hand outs.
And how do we handle a major crisis today? The Government
appoints a committee to determine who’s at fault, then threatens
them, passes a law, raises our taxes, then tells us the problem is
solved so they can get back to their reelection campaign.
When it comes to dating, marriage, etc.-I think this needs to be read by both women and men, even if it's from a female perspective. I thought it was insightful. Be afraid, I read the NY Times every once in awhile, just to get a different view.
1. THEIR economy is fine, they don't care about yours
2. Read this and wonder how we all manage to survive, meanwhile the federal government just keeps printing money and tells us to go back to watching TV.
Former stud goalie Ken Dryden says we need to get more involved in the discussion about concussions in sports, and I nod my head in agreement.
Now, as for my beloved Boston Red Sox, a few points:
1. Don't you dare let Terry Francona walk out that door. He's the best manager the organization has ever seen, handles the media well and the guys love him. He will be like the best girlfriend you ever had and letting her walk away because of someone shiny and new. Little did you know a tiny bit of acknowledgment can get you so far as her making her famous gooey brownies for you just cuz. Let him walk, and it's fucked 3 ways from Sunday.
2. If you're going to fire someone, look at the dipshit who put together this group of losers. Why do I call them losers? Well, that's what you are in my book when you play not to lose instead of playing to win, don't go balls out, don't pick up your teammates and only worry about your own stats.
3. Continue down this road, lose me as a fan. I'm dead serious. This team looks like the Yankees from the mid 80's to the mid 90's. Ask a Yankees fan, not good times-remember Danny Tartabull? Say hello to Carl Crawford.
4. Go down the road to any of the other franchises in town, namely the Bruins. They finally got it, and look what happened-they won.
5. Remember the Idiots from 2004 and 2007.
6. Winning all the free agents that don't fit the ballpark, town or team is a recipe for disaster.
7. Do not blame the coaches.
8. If someone calls for a trade, you better damn well listen if it's for anyone other than Pedroia, Gonzalez, Scutaro, Ellsbury, Beckett or Lester. Yup, I'm going there.
9. I live 2,000 miles away, and this bunch looked like corporate suits who would be afraid to eat a hot dog with mustard on it for fear of getting dirty. Find me the Dirt Dogs, yesterday.
10. I will not blame the whole season on one game, but on this team. Better yet, group of individuals.
11. Chemistry matters, have you figured it out yet?
