i am tired

Cain spent last week campaigning in Tennessee, and at multiple stops throughout the state, he talked about building a barbed wire electric fence that could kill those who tried to climb it to enter the country illegally. The line drew raucous applause from Tea Party crowds during at least two of his stops in the Volunteer State.

In Cookeville, TN, on Saturday, Cain even went on to defend the idea of a deadly fence against those who feel it is inhuman. “I get criticized. ‘Mr. Cain, that’s insensitive.’ What do you mean insensitive?” he asked the crowd. “What’s insensitive is when they come to the United States across our border and kill our citizens, and kill our border patrol people.”

He repeated his support for the idea a few hours later at his next stop in Harriman.

But when pressed about the fence yesterday by NBC's David Gregory, the former Godfather's Pizza CEO said it was all in jest. “That's a joke,” Cain said. “I've also said America needs to get a sense of humor.” (msnbc.com)

I am tired of politicians creating devious plans for those they love to scapegoat, only to be caught in the act of plotting and then laughing their way out of it acting shocked that anyone took them seriously. I am tired of spewing hate, hateful actions, and then when normal people with a conscience discover your inhuman behavior, I am tired of the copout used to explain your behavior.

I am tired of National Coming Out Day, or any day when a Gay individual feels it necessary to come out. Come out from what? Why do we have come out at all? I was Gay, I am still Gay, I will always be Gay. Do I have to come out to please someone else? Do I have to come out to ease your curiosity? Do I have to come out because society preferred I stayed in?

I am tired of Capitalism being based on greed and gluttony. I am tired of being told by corporations that they cannot hire anyone until restrictions, regulations are all removed, giving them free reign to do as they seem fit for their bottom line. I am tired of the wealthy not paying their fair share of taxes while I continue to pay mine to pay for the democracy of America.

I am tired of being told that universal health care is socialism by a group of people who say they are Christian Conservatives. I am tired of being told by Christian Conservatives that human rights, women's rights, health care for all, are the sign of the devil. I am tired of some people claiming they invented God and they know exactly how he/she thinks.

I am tired of being lectured at that if you are unemployed it is your fault. I am tired of being scolded by ignorant idiots that a fair wage for the middle class is the ruination of America and that the founding fathers never intended for all people to live a good life.

I am tired of talking heads, in suits making six figure salaries, sitting in think tanks, removed from the everyday life of most Americans, pontificating on my life as if anything I do, live, think as anything in common with their life.

I am tired of politicians doing nothing but waiting and wasting time in figuring out how to compromise. I am tired of an election system based on private money from wealthy donors and wealthier corporations. I am tired of Lobbyists being listened to while my needs my desires my dreams go unnoticed. I am tired of corporations considered people, while real people are considered menial and meaningless.

And I am tired of the lemmings, the bigoted, the dumb, the biased, the uneducated, the religious zealots, those looking for blame and scapegoats letting this nation be run by politicians whose only goal in life is to keep themselves in power and no matter the cost to this nation and the citizens of this nation.

I am tired of sitting by as the inmates run the asylum.
