This is getting old

I was going to originally write about the great Margaret Thatcher and how she brought England from the brink of ruin. We could use a leader like that today, a leader who is willing to call Socialism the evil that it is out. What. Changed my mind was how tired I felt this morning after a very challenging workout last night. As you all know I train in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. One of the more difficult opponent for a pure BJJ artist is the wrestler. The wrestler has the ability to constantly put pressure on you. No room to reposition, always moving and replacing his weight on you to exhaust you. They rarely tire and their grip strength is like no other competitor. Mentally and physically it is draining. Though the wrestler may not have a multitude of moves to finish you, they can suck your will to keep going and you get caught by mistake in their one submission. Thank goodness my opponent last night was very inexperienced in Jiu-Jitsu, but I was ready to give up a few times.

I have become tired of writing in the same way. I have been so burnt out by the constant national and international dramas over the last five years. The country has gone day after day, month after month, year after year, suffering traumatic event after event. Think about it, since late 2008 have we had even a chance to breathe and enjoy our lives to the fullest. Our houses are under valued or foreclosed on. Our neighbors have moved back with other family to consolidate and cloister. The nation has made political mistake after political mistake on a national and a global level. Our money is nearly worthless. Our rights are being eroded away by herd mentality and socialist infiltration. Just the natural disasters alone have been ones for the record books. Experiencing some of those situations myself plus covering them for the blog can lay a bit of a burden.

I imagine there are millions of Americans with a thousand yard stare. Many millions going through a type of social combat, the likes that have not been seen since the depression. Our current administration offers little more than a handout rather than way out. The current political model is one akin to fishing or hunting, stalk your prey until it's tired and reel it in or kill it. Even supporters are becoming fatigued. The hope and change they expected nevef really came, the poor are poorer and the rich have found a way to keep what they have. The sheer weight of the fundamental changes instituted are serving to wear on our psyche. The Saul Alinsky disciples have created the perfect storm of pressure to get many of us even the most hardened Republican to compromise or even quit. I wrote about how bad I felt is was going to get last year. I never imagined that it would actually come true and be worse than I expected. I see no real end in sight, I am finally noticing pockets of resistance since the Rand Paul filibuster. I will press on as long as I can to continue to tell you to push for Realistic freedom, but these times here in the states are really getting old.
