I often say, my personal happiness isn't dictated by who sits in the White House. Hell, I enjoyed great success in my life while Obama was President. And not a damn bit of it had anything to do with him.
Cheers!
Agreed. Some of my best years were under that pos despite being pissed about the500 k or so I paid in taxes I know that won’t really change enough to change my life, been wealthy, poor,had power and been charged with felonies(unjustly for political purposes ( beat them) and have spent enough time around this planet and country to realize that “voting” for leaders is a joke
Some truly wonderful things happened in my life while I had cancer. I still fought the cancer with every ounce of my being. I didn’t roll over and declare that cancer had no effect on my life.
And I still voted in every election in my district. I didn’t roll over and declare that my vote didn’t matter, or that the people writing the laws for me to abide by didn’t make a damn bit of difference.
But then, I was raised in a time when it was common to teach children responsibility, common sense, critical thinking and self reliance. We didn’t have to romanticize what that might mean. We lived it.
I pity the younger generations growing up in a world which has had positive character traits sanitized out of the public square. A world in which they can’t see a difference between Burack H. Obama and Donald J. Trump, or understand the importance of their own vote. A world in which people don’t understand the difference between being represented and being led.
But there’s a limit to my pity. At some point, even those who grow up in an environment devoid of virtue, must take responsibility for their own virtue. If they fail to put virtuous people in places of power, they deserve what the crooked politicians do to them. And may God have mercy on their souls.
Same here. I mostly ignored coverage of Obama and enjoyed life.
