My Kid Brother...He never played fair!

Here is my brother,standing next to me, I love him to death. He was for many years my wing-man. When we were little he would never die!







Now allow me to explain...cops and robbers, cowboys and indians, and tag was not a fair fight with him. He would get shot, fall and get back up "I wasn't killed". I was furious. Shot with an arrow, fall, and move his mouth and get up..."I ate my spinach". WTF! He would get the family to laugh, while I was ready to body bag his ass. I would scream "YOU CHEATED!" My parents and family would say lighten up! Lighten up! You lighten up, that little motherfucker cheated! You saw it and just ignored it! How can it be ignored! He cheated, he would know the rules, change them to his advantage. That's some bull! How is it possible that I could live in an environment that allows someone to never play in the parameters of the rules.






Fast forward to present day...why am I asking that same question again? Now keep in mind my brother lives in Minnesota, I'm in Illinois. So I'm not discussing him, besides, he was younger than me and cute as a button. He meant no harm. Now, in the present time, harm is intended. Cheating, bullying, misinformation is the norm. Is it cute? Is it something to let slide?






Racial slurs, attacks, and cheating to an extreme that even I found to be tragic. But hey its just the way it is, right? We expect it to happen, right? Is that why one side plays fair then the other cheats, but doesn't get a strap to their ass? What about their fair-play? Nice guys don't get to finish last, they don't get invited to the race.






I have spent a very watchful eye in the past three years. Looking at how much more hostile this country has become. How much more divided we are...again. I remember all my friends, co-workers, and associates jumping for joy as America elected a black president. For me...I was saddened for what was to come. I knew everything that is going on now would occur. I knew there would be an uprising. I knew sides would be taken. I knew damn well I would have to do the same. But you see, I'm more of a conservative than the "conservatives" that I see. So for me this has been a stressed out period of time. I have had my friends slandered, had my latin friends betrayed, by the use of the law. Had friends that I know are struggling in this economy be called welfare kings and queens. Been told that my country isn't my own, I'm just allowed here and the "true patriots" want me and my kind gone.






So, in with this blog I'm announcing that there will be a cold day in hell before I vote for the "patriots" that are the right. I like to play according to the rules. You only want to win.
