We all do it in our daily lives. We say things we don’t believe or don’t want to in order to make things more pleasant. Or to fit in. Or to avoid controversy.

I don’t. Of course, I am firm in my convictions and I hold no racist or psychotic positions. I have lost friends because I refused to change who I am or because I always speak my mind.

America is the most free most open most prosperous most fluid country on planet earth and every man should be judged by the content of his character and not the color of his skin. The constitution and its protections are sacred and apply to all citizens of this country. The government should be limited and freedom has consequences.

I absolutely acknowledge that America has had a rough past. But that past is full of men dieing for what they believe in and fighting for freedom and equality. We cannot sacrifice our present because of the sins of our past. To do so is to destroy all the men who came before us fought for.

History should not be erased or forgotten. It should be taught and learned from. And the principles America was founded on should not be upended.

Plenty of us are not hypocrites. And plenty of us do not accept hypocrisy.

The world is a tough place. It’s hard. Life is hard.

Staying married and raising children and working a job and getting an education is hard. It’s work and it isn’t fun a lot of the time.

It’s not supposed to be easy. And it never will be.

We should stop lieing to and coddling these pathetic children.

My life isn’t great because I have privilege or because things were given to me. It’s because I grew up with two parents who loved me and worked their asses off every day to provide for me and my siblings. It’s because my dad worked 12 hours a day and went to night school and still made time to help me with my homework.

My kids life isn’t great because they’re white and so society just hands them shite. It’s because both my wife and I work 60 hours a week to provide for our family and we only are allowed to keep about half of what we make.

If you don’t like your position in life in America in 2020 look within yourself and make a change.

You may not be able to live the dream life you desire, but you can work your arse off every day to leave a better life to your children than the one you were born into. That’s called being a good parent and a good citizen.

Demanding a better life for yourself now at the expense of others without putting in the work yourself is called being an ignorant selfish pathetic waste.

Good luck to anyone crying for a handout or complaining about how tough it is to work a job. Life is hard. But it doesn’t have to be miserable. Buckle down and work or be cast aside.
