Entitlement. Such a strong word with a harsh connotation. After a week of hearing people bitch, whine, and complain about various "First World Problems" I feel compelled to tell the world, that American have a horrible sense of entitlement.
Yup, I said it. I know this post may garner harsh criticism, but its the truth. Take the recent SCOTUS opinion which allows closely-held companies to deny coverage for certain types of birth control. Yeah, I get it people, you think its a large step backwards for women. Its not. Its simply saying that companies like Hobby Lobby can as a company decide what types of birth control methods it will provide insurance coverage for. Its not saying they can deny all, its not saying the hate women and think we should not be able to control our reproductive decisions, the opinion simply gives those companies the right to choose. Funny too because Hobby Lobby does provide its female employees several types of covered birth control.
Second, the young lady who attends Texas Tech and chooses to trophy hunt. It is her right, her choice and yes what she does provides money and food in a third world country. And who are you to judge? Let it go people. You raise hell over her pictures with animal, yet you do not raise hell over young women posting pictures of themselves pretty much naked in their Facebook? I call hypocrite.
And lastly, to the people in California who protested and refused to allow women and children to arrive at a facility to hold them, shame on you. What happened to land of the free and home of the brave? And I ask you, where did you come from? Unless you are of Native American decent, you were an immigrant at some point as well. These women and children are fleeing harsh conditions, warfare and hunger. Yes, they arrived here illegally, but to protest and deny them a safe facility to be processed at? I see your side of things, they are criminals who entered our county illegally, but what you did was an embarrassment. Protest for harsher laws, more security at the border, but to scare the buses enough for them to turn back? Shame on you.
As we celebrate the Independence of our nation tomorrow I ask you to remember a few things:
If you don't vote, you don't get to complain. Until you have walked a mile in someone else's shoes, you do not get to judge. And until you have read and researched a SCOTUS opinion, don't make yourself a lawyer.
