Trumparoos

I am, at times a hard, harsh, unforgiving, individual. In other words a hard case. Having been this way for some 48 of my 56 years, I have learned a thing or two about being that way. I learned if I were going to fight, no matter if the cause was right or wrong, then I had to accept the consequences whatever they were, no exceptions. To not whine about the consequences, because no one cares, and I brought it on myself. I learned that I would have to pay a cost in interpersonal relationships, meaning that some would not like, or tolerate my attitude. I did not care, and I was the way I had to be. I have always been responsible for the consequences of my words and actions, without exception. The fault was, is, and always will be mine. I hold people, especially politicians, to that same standard. The people who entered the Capitol illegally, during that January insurrection, and attempted coup, now have to face the consequences, of their words and actions. Losing jobs, being arrested, being put on no fly lists, and any other consequence, is the price they pay.

They consider themselves patriots in a revolution, akin to the founding fathers. Well the punishment for the founding fathers, if they supported the revolution, was death. They gambled their fortunes, reputations, and lives in support of our freedom. Those people at the Capitol have not suffered any of that. Flying is not a right. Employment is not a right. If their cause was just, then why the face covering. One of the founding fathers that signed the Declaration of Independence, signed his name bigger, so as not to hide. Criminals hide their faces, patriots do not.

The point is, that if a person wants to take a stand against a wrong, either real or perceived, that is their right. They should by all means do what they have to do. They must do that within the rule of law. They must be willing to deal with the consequences. No whining like a petulant two-year-old, no threats, just deal with the consequences and go on. If they can't do that, then they are just run of the mill crybabies. Buck up, pull up your big boy Trumparoos, and deal with the consequences, preferably without whining, because no one cares. Have a nice day all. God Bless you all, and God Bless the United States of America.
