Anger Issues....

I've been doing some Personal Introspection the last couple of days to figure out why my BP goes through the roof every time I see McCain. It wasn't till yesterday's shower(must be Falling Water. I always seem to have the best "clearifications" in one;>)that I placed the KIND of Anger. It was the same that I get when I've been Betrayed. I'm a pretty Forgiving guy but one area that I'm NOT is here. There are folks that have Betrayed me that I haven't seen or heard from in 30 yrs that if I think of them(or are reminded of them) my vision goes Red and the only way I can calm myself is Visualizing their disembowelment with a grapefruit spoon.
I guess both as a Gay Heathen man and once a member of the "John's my Daddy" club his tossing out of all the things I admired him for IS a Betrayal of both my support AND all the times I argued with Loved Ones that he wasn't like the rest. He IS. Either his Principles WEREN'T or that they were only because he thought they were a Winning Combo. When they didn't, they were jettisoned. His Brown-nosing the Christifascists and boot-licking Bush disappointed me but this Palin choice pushed me over the edge. Nothing says your previous Positiions were purely Political then to chose this Self-Rightious, Hypocritical Powermad Bitch. And I never described Hillary are Self-rightious. Palin wins the adjective contest!
It's funny. That she used her Power while in office to screw over someone she loves I can accept(there's a quote in one of my books from a Roman politico who stated that the only real reason to get Power is to Pleasure your Friends and Punish your Enemies)but her book-banning and subsequent firing of librarians who refused is a bigger one to me. Fucking over someone who fucked over a Loved One is one thing, Book-banning is another....
Truth,

Cynicism....

I've finally stopped even watching the AM shows with my cuppa because it's just too upsetting. Too many stupid people and too many people dumbing down everything so the eejits don't have self-esteem issues. Not surprising a folk that figures all that they need to get themselves out of Debt is to open another Credit Card would avoid ANYTHING with the "whiff" of Math about it...
I guess it could be worse. There could be more folks like my neighbor who Beleives that Americans Saving Energy is Wrong because all that does is leave more for the Chinese. WHile true, at least if you take the Moral High Ground your Folk's Name won't be a Curse for Future Generations...
