"The Secret Service determined that “the Nuge” [Ted Nugent] was just talking out his butt. No big whoop. They concluded there was no real threat. He was just exercising his God-given right to say creepy things about a Democratic president. Very little, if anything, should happen to him. I mean, it’s not like he’s the Dixie Chicks, who said back in ‘03, “We do not want this war, this violence, and are ashamed that the President of The United States is from Texas.” That treasonous little outburst resulted in the Chicks receiving on-air death threats, being labelled as traitors, and having their music pulled from radio play. The Chicks, though, were women and should’ve known their place. Plus, they were criticizing war (America’s pastime) and a white Republican president. They deserved what they got.
About the only thing that will happen to “the Nuge” is that he has been uninvited to perform at an upcoming military concert at Fort Knox. The soldiers who would’ve been attending all erupted into sighs of relief upon hearing the news."

Michael Kindt on the double standard of liberal anti-establishment criticism vs. conservative anti-establishment criticism. One is culturally acceptable and encouraged (even when it takes the form of innocuous death threats), and the other is almost universally vilified (even when it’s simply a respectful and measured response).

I’m just going to leave this right here. No, it can’t be because the President is black.
Post-racial society, kids.

"Republicans approve of the American farmer, but they are willing to help him go broke. They stand four-square for the American home—but not for housing. They are strong for labor—but they are stronger for restricting labor’s rights. They favor minimum wage—the smaller the minimum wage the better. They endorse educational opportunity for all—but they won’t spend money for teachers or for schools. They think modern medical care and hospitals are fine—for people who can afford them. They consider electrical power a great blessing—but only when the private power companies get their rake-off. They think American standard of living is a fine thing—so long as it doesn’t spread to all the people. And they admire of Government of the United States so much that they would like to buy it."

…don’t ever forget that!
And don’t say “I’ll never be good”. You can become better! and one day you’ll wake up and you’ll find out how good you actually became.

If you’re a decent fucking human being it’s because you choose to be a decent fucking human being.
Nothing more. Nothing less.
Take accountability for your life and actions. All of the good and bad and unknown and precious and devastating.
You’ll be better for it.
Truer words have never been spoken, kiddo.
