So I'm the single mother of a teenage daughter.

That should be enough said right there. Truthfully it should.

But said teenager has a surefire way to get my goat faster than anything I know and that is to accuse me of racism or worse being stupid because I don;t see life from her perspective a lot of times.

Like last night.

My significant other is having major phone issues so he was using my phone to call his provider. Half an hour later, he has the promise of a new phone on its way and he was telling me about the end of the call I couldn;t hear. The lady from the call center in the Phillipines who could barely understand him and he her. So my only comment was, for right or wrong, that if people are going to do business in a country they need to be able to coherently speak the language and comprehend it as well.

That set my kid off  like you would not believe. I was rude and a number of other things. I told her that there have been a number of times I have been on the phone and I cannot understand the other person due to their extremely thick accent and have really wanted to request someone with better ability to communicate with me and again I was informed I was rude and horrible.

Why? I speak English. Ok American English, but still.  I do not have the ear for dialects and accents and so on that I did when I was younger. I do not remember most of my high school Spanish class. I have not had to use it. The language of this country, the language govt business is done in first and foremost is English. Speak it. Read it . Learn it. If I was moving to or even visiting another country, I would darn sure learn the language first.

Just saying.

To the RNC

An open letter to the Republican National Committee:
I just checked my email and found your survey invitation.  I was curious so I checked it out. I have several issues with your self serving survey.
1) In order to even start the survey, I had to pick a candidate, which quite frankly, given the piss poor excuses for candidates, surpassed only by those on the other side....and that not by more than the tiniest fraction, is not something I am prepared to do. So I slapped a checkmark over one who probably won't last past the next primary and began.
2) Your list of most important issues that I have to pick only ONE of....yeah well I see ALL of them as vital. Everything from the economy, which sucks ass, to terrorism, to protecting our constitutional rights as granted by the Bill of Rights....My candidate will deal with it all....not just a pet one or two.
3) The temerity of you to ask for a donation at the end. I don't have enough extra cash to buy a pot to piss in, sorry if that offends folks, so dry up. Do not ever dare to send anything else to me that contains a request for money. As a matter of fact, just don't send me anything else. I'm a highly intelligent adult and more than capable of determining my choice for president, senate, and dogcatcher without your surveys and questions clogging up my email and rural mailbox. However, feel free to call my home...with a number and name readily apparent on my caller ID, and I will be more than happy to answer in multiple bullet points any question you wish to pose.

Thank you.

And this is in no way giving permission to the other party to solicit my vote.

Poor little crybaby

So Trump is all hacked off and doesn't want to be part of the GOP debate tonight because miss prissy pants Megan Kelly is a moderator. Well boo freaking hoo. Hey Donald, are you a mature adult male who is running for the top office in this country? Well Suck. It. Up. Buttercup. You want the top spot? Deal with it.

Not that anyone sane would vote for you. But that's beside the point. You're not going to get the easy questions and it's time for you and all the other candidates to give specific answers to we the people's questions about just HOW you plan to fulfill your promises and ideas and programs as President.

I want up front. If you are going to raise taxes 300%, then tell me that. If you're going to up border patrols, I want to know by how many and by when. If you're going to dismantle the illegal disgrace of Obamacare, I want to know how and when.

If you're going to continue to shred the Constitution like the current disgrace-in-chief, then I want to know that too.

And if you don't have the right answers,You. Don't. Get. My. Vote.

See, Donald, you of pretty much all the candidates don't have a record of votes in office we can look at. All you have is a dubious financial history, a lot of loudmouth boasts, and a history of supporting liberal policies.

And you want us to believe you're conservative?

Bullshit.

You are the white Obama. You say of lot of nothing to get non thinkers to back you so you can catapult yourself into the presidency and quite frankly probably f the country up more than it already is. You have a lot of plans for hope and change...yeah well we've had 8 years of it and we're choking on it. Those of us who study history and have borne the brunt of this administration's failures do not want another like it.

We want someone who will bring our country back to its former glory...Someone who will give pause to those who want to bring us down. Folks like ISIS and their ilk should shudder in their shoes at taking us on, instead of laughing at us because our fraudulently elected (remember ACORN?) leader kowtows and apologizes and writes executive orders to try to force us to accept and tolerate those who would do us harm.

So quite frankly again, if you or any other candidate can;t or won;t handle and answer the hard questions, then you don;t deserve to be on the stage, much less president of this country.
