I'm betting on this post getting downvoted by the majority without even reading it, given reddit's nature, but I'm going to type it anyway.
Lately, I've been getting increasingly frustrated at all the nonsense I see and read and hear. I understand and accept reddit as being a primarily liberal site, and that's fine, but it gets to a point where feeling get put before common sense, and I'm done with it.
Where do I begin?
Let's start with the most recent thing that has just made my jaw drop, this thread:
How in the world can this even be argued? This is America, people have rights, and you don't have to agree with something a person does. But, if they have the right, it is their right. It's really dead simple. If I run a business, it is MY business, I really don't care if you agree with it or not, I do what I want. My rights don't end where your feelings begin. This reminds me of the whole Chick-fil-A fiasco (relevant: http://ift.tt/Oe2klQ)
How come nobody made a fuss about this?
That baker had a right to refuse service to whoever they want. In fact, most businesses advertise "WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REFUSE ANYONE SERVICE FOR ANY REASON." It's. Their. Right. Leave them alone.

Oh ok, next, the whole Michael Brown thing. Never in my life have I seen such an uproar over what turned out to be a justified shooting. Listen, it is tragic that Michael Brown died, it really is, but when the department, the county, the DOJ, AND THE FREAKING MILITARY says it was justified, it was frigin justified. But no, that wasn't enough. Eric Holder still wasn't happy, he had to go in and entice a riot, making things about race that weren't. Mr. Holder is responsible for the violence in Ferguson following that incident. If a man is determined to be innocent, he is INNOCENT, that's the end of the story. Then following that, you had this whole "hands up don't shoot" that even CELEBRITIES did at that awards show. ARE YOU SERIOUS? IT WAS FOUND THAT HE DID NOT HAVE HIS HANDS UP, AND THE WITNESS THAT SAID HE DID BACKTRACKED ON HIS STATEMENT. W. T. F. So then this whole big thing gets started and everybody's all pissed over a LIE. This one journalist at least admitted it was a lie and he was wrong:
Not to mention that blacks kill FAR more blacks than whites do, either with or without a badge. ( relevant: http://ift.tt/1mS7yTP) Oh, and then I read incidents like this that go COMPLETELY unnoticed, how is this fair:
WHY WAS THERE NOT AN UPROAR LIKE THE TRAVON MARTIN CASE? PLEASE TELL ME.
MLK would be ashamed of us as a nation.
Ok now let's talk about how the media has been towards police since that. Well actually I don't have to explain that, you already know. But seriously, I'm not saying that there aren't bad police officers, but the badge has been put through Hell lately. Just like all Muslims aren't terrorist, all whites aren't embezzlers, all blacks aren't thugs, and all Jews aren't greedy, all officers aren't bad. In fact, the majority are good. But, it's now okay to hate all police because the media said to. People hate police and they don't even know why. Why is it okay to say "all police are racist pigs" but not okay to say "all Muslims are terrorists?" Neither is true. So neither should be okay to say.
Now let's get to Mr. Obama. I'm not going to get into his political decisions and all that, I'm not here about that. That's a different topic. I want to know why Mr. Obama hasn't called this young man's family and told them what a hero Mr. Casper was:
That's all I'm going to say about that.
Then I read this lovely article:
So now it's offensive to celebrate the country we live in. Oh ok. I have no words. And here's the kicker, I guarantee the vast majority who complained about the theme were white American-born citizens. Hell, most minorities love America and never complain about petty little BS like this. "Oh, you're not offended? That's ok I'll be offended for you." I feel like that has to be the mindset.
Hillary deletes 30,000 emails (which is an offense that legally disqualifies her from ever holding an office)? Nah man that's chill. Ted Cruz announces he's going to run? A website in his name gets taken out mocking him, Twitter mocks him via John Lennon, the internet explodes with ridicule for a man they know nothing about (for the record, no way am I voting for him). Monitor every single American? Nah bro that's cool. Secure the borders so [potentially dangerous] illegal people can't come through? BIGOT OMG HOW DARE YOU YOU RACIST. (again, relevant: http://ift.tt/1CSCiKC)
Let me ask you this, which name have you heard get torn apart more: Phil Robertson or Dan Savage? Mr. Robertson you say, hm, because he's a bigoted homophobe or hates those who disagree with him, right? http://ift.tt/19213rG
I could probably keep going, but I'm going to stop right there. This is truly something I had to get off my chest. I'm not posting this to debate or argue or whatever so don't even try. If you're reading this last line, thanks for reading the whole thing. I feel better now.
