Why Ignorance Is Bliss

     Over the last few weeks I have to say I am flabbergasted at what I hear being reported on in the world.  What I find to be more eye opening is just talking to my friends, co-workers, or random people and their obvious lack of knowledge as to what these stories are.  If I did not comprehend why other nation's disliked America I can see it more and more now as an adult.  Be honest, most of the people you know probably don't care about politics or anything other than what is going on in their bubble.  If it has to do with anything really deep, it's just glossed over as something that can't be changed or something that you only talk about in hushed tones so as not to offend the person next to you.  I'm such an outspoken person I am getting to the point where I notice that I am losing friends because of how politically charged and active my posts are.  While I like these people I consider friends, it is taxing to be one of the few people in my little corner of the world who actually gives a damn.
     I find it just as mind-numbing to be around those people who have this giant love fest for Obama, Hillary, and/or the Democratic party as a whole.  To the graduating class of the Coast Guard, Obama told these men and women that "climate change is a serious threat to global security,"  that this is going to be the largest threat that our nation will have to face.  Seriously?  When Bush left office the national debt was about $10.6 trillion, but now under Obama we are at about $18 trillion dollars!  Let's mention here that Obama is running around claiming he's reduced the national deficit, and let me note here I am not an economics nor a math major, but an increase in the national debt from 10 to 18 doesn't seem like a reduction.  Obama's wife keeps running around stirring the racial pot of aggravation at every opportunity she can, whether it be on TV or at a college graduation.  If anyone is paying attention, most of the population doesn't judge people based on the color of their skin, however, the reason WHY it keeps coming up is because those few souls that still do are getting more air time than the ones of us who couldn't care less.  It is because of the majority of us NOT caring about the color of people's skin is causing the Democrats, Sharpton, and Jackson alike to panic because without people caring about skin color, they lose money and power.  Then there's Bill Clinton's arm candy of a wife, Hillary Clinton.  She's running around claiming she will stick it to the wealthy and Robin Hood it and give their money to the poor.  She's only going to target those who oppose her and her buddies, hate to break it to you.  She also claimed she will do whatever it takes to keep America "safe" but that little dead horse of Benghazi still reeks over on the side.  The absurd comments she is making about voting being discriminatory all because of voter ID laws.  Everything she is, is just a scandal.
     Our taxes are increasing every day. Just think, when was the last time you got a decent tax return?  Our national security is a laughing joke to the rest of the world; so much so Iran called Obama's actions one of an "accomplice to the ISIS" group.  Paul Ryan is now aiding Obama in trying to pass this secret TPP deal.  We're almost to the point where America is going to be owned by the Chinese because we do not have anyone in Washington who is trying to fix anything that is wrong.  The Republican and Democrat party line is fuzzy at best, as they are all starting to bottom-feed from each other's pockets.  I cannot remember the last time an elected official did anything that helped their state or constituents, it's all about the donors.  Follow the money trail, it's sickening.  The middle class in this nation is dwindling away, and yet no one has the guts to talk about it on Capital Hill because they are the cause of it.  Russia is free to do whatever they want to because actually working to keep them from invading neighboring countries takes time away from bike rides or golf games.  Yet there IS more than enough time for people to voice their aggravation with Beyonce over her over-hyped announcement which turned out to be her announcing to her fans that she is now Vegan.  Yep, very angry people about that announcement.
     If we threw out pop culture, what WOULD a vast majority of the public do with their time?
