Every single day I watch the feeds on-line, I see the hateful posts, I see the false posts, the lies and the out and out fraudulent posts put up about these candidates for the Presidency of the United States. I watch as people who only months before were the best of friends destroy each other and destroy those friendships that at one time were so valuable to them over the person they chose to support. The hate filled rhetoric being spewed by so many at each other absolutely blows my mind. I can't help but think that once this election is all over and these career politicians do nothing but take care of each other and themselves, not to mention the true leaders of the world, giant corporations and we will all once again be left to fend for ourselves only now we will have less friends because everyone has alienated each other.
So many take for granted our very freedom. We've never truly known any type of life without it. Generations of Americans have lived with absolute freedom and choose only to express it or opt to use it by trying to bring down others. This makes no sense to me. This generation of "you owe me, I want, what's in it for me" Americans has for the most part never even known true hardship. I've got to admit that this breaks my heart! We take for granted the freedom we have and quite often don't even consider those who stood up, those who fought for it and especially those who died for it.
After I had surgery and was laid up I spent a whole lot of time sitting on the couch and watching movies praying that I would not have to get up for any reason. One night or morning I should say at about 4 am I found a movie and after reading the small description of it thought "I'll give this a shot" and I began to watch it. It did not take long for me to realize that there was not a word of English spoken and it was all subtitled. I would have turned it off because I was far too tired to stare at a screen and read for two hours in the middle of the night. The problem with turning it off was that the topic was so powerful that I could not turn away.
The name of the movie is WINTER ON FIRE and it was epic! The movie is about the fight for the very freedom that we take so very much for granted. The first generation ever to have been given freedom in this nation and promised a place in the European Union. The president who had been thrown out of office there for fixing and stealing the election prior to winning it again made a deal with Russia and stole that very freedom. The youth of this nation refused to give up their freedom and for months on end they never left the center of the city, they fought to the death to restore that freedom. They were overwhelmed by govt forces, the police and the Army and were murdered in the streets and many were kidnapped and have never been seen again. Watching this movie made me think of just how good we have it here in the USA and how little we realize it.
We fight over the most ludacris things. We destory friendships over a difference of ideals. We bring lawsuits for "micro aggressions" and these kids are dying in the streets. Every age group, every economic group and every single religion came together in that city square and stood up and fought for freedom. I hope that you watch this film. If you have kids, make them watch this film. Let's stop all this bullshit, let's stop hating each other for different thoughts, let's do as these people did, let's follow their example of what freedom truly stands for and why it is so precious before we lose it or it's taken from us by some power hungry, crooked world leaders. Let's get back to the basic thought of "am I my brother's keeper" and oh hell, let's throw some free love in there too.
Just some late night food for thought for you all. What do you say that we can be civil and agree to disagree with each other, that's what freedom is!
Until we see each other on the road again,
Keep the wind in your face,
Tits in your back
and the Man off your ASS!
Your pal,
Jack Shit

It's been a good ride so far!
Since I was just a kid all I have ever wanted to do was to make people laugh or just smile. As a child, an educator sent a note home to my parents. It read; If your son thinks he is going to get through life making people laugh he is in for a RUDE AWAKENING! He is not living up to his potential. WELL, I'M STILL NOT! But at this site you will at least see me try. From the heart, thank you for even being interested, it means the world to me. I always say, I have not a single fan but many a friend!
I appreciate this ... Many don't understand how blessed we are to be here in the great US of A. . no matter what your views may be .. One thing we all have in common , is that we desire peace , love , and harmony .. We all want our families to be safe , we all need freedom to some extent ... Instead of looking at our differences , let's start with what we have in common and move from there...
