Are you fed up with the "left?"

Fed up with the left? Well, there's what's right, then what's left. There's the main nutritious meal, then what's left is the dessert, which may be nice [sweet], but it's not right, just extra. Same thing with business before pleasure; the lumber to build a project, then the scrap pieces; the church services, then maybe the socials [which always have too many desserts]. Yes, when what's left is put before what's right, it's getting fed up with what's left, and the results are fat, lazy, disorderly, and irresponsible.
The main thing that galls me about the Left is their naked hypocrisy.
The second thing that bothers me about the Left is their practice of accepting good intentions as being the equivalent of good results. This covers just about every "compassionate" government program ever conceived by the Left. It doesn't matter if a huge spending initiative fails, just that their heart was in the right place and they tried to do something. Thus, spending $780 Billion on the Stimulus Package was worth it, even though there is scant evidence that it did anything. ObamaCare was supposed to keep health care insurance premiums in check, achieve near universal coverage, plus you were supposed to keep your own doctor. None of this has happened, in fact it's cost people plenty of money, but hey, they had good intentions.

You sound like Rush Limbaugh Whistling
I'm fed up with all politicians, right, left, center...whatever. We have a group of failures as leaders right now. It isn't getting better either. Our country is devolving into a reality television show before our eyes and its because of the top to bottom corruption in Washington DC.
Nooooo!! Say it isn't so! LOL.

AMEN!
In watching just the GOP Town Hall and listening to the comments of the last couple of weeks, I'm thinking "Okay. We're supposed to trust one of you with the nuclear football?"
The age they act COLLECTIVELY shouldn't be enough to let them legally drink.

This is what I don't like about the left. #1: They support abortion rights and call it women's health. #2: They support homosexual rights and compare it to racial inequality. #3: Their refusal to utter the words, "Radical Islamic Terrorism". Then they want us all to cuddle up to Muslims and let them flood over the boarders like ants. #4: They have ruined our once great military with their immoral social experiments. I can go on and on, but I'm feeling ill just thinking of how the left has ruined our country.
I feel your righteous anger and frustration. Would love to hear the rest of the list. Take care my good friend and brother.

1.....It is the Law as passed by those elected to represent us, and the Judges they put into positions of power.

I wouldn't mind people having these perspectives so much if it were not just a rehash of the Fox News talking points. I would love to talk to people who are dealing with real issues and who want to talk about those issues and what's not being done.
Everything mentioned above sounds like pure, politically conservative talk radio politics.
Take away these outlets that have radicalized the right as much as the left, and what self-important substantive issues would come up? I doubt we'd hear anything about "Radical Islamic Terrorism".
It just seems contrived and fake, IMO.
