What Are You Sick Of?

Admittedly, I'm rather exhausted by things today.  I'm just sick and tired of some of the insanity that's rampant today and I need a breather in fighting it. 

What are some of the things that comprise this insanity we're seeing?  The things that I am most fed up with include, but are not limited to:

  • A president who seems hell-bent on growing the government and extending its reach into our lives, all the while denying that that's what he wants to do
  • Violence on both sides of the political spectrum.  While I understand the impulse, the lack of self-control is appalling (and just for the record, I believe the violence is more prevalent on the left).
  • The double standard that exists among Democrats; they accuse Republicans of actions that they themselves indulge in regularly.
  • The corruption in the "sideline" media (can't really call them mainstream anymore).  Note to the New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, NBC, CBS, ABC, et al.:  you're supposed to be the watchdog of government, not the lap dog, and that  includes reporting Democrat scandals and misdeeds.
  • Demonizing Tea Party attendees.  For these reporters calling us extremists,  you might have a little more credibility if you'd actually attend a tea party or two and talk to some of the people there.
  • An administration that is grossly immature, thin-skinned, and arrogant
  • A president who bows and scrapes to our enemies and insults and alienates our allies and friends
I could go on and on, but I'm sure you get the picture.  By the way, as a final note to Obama and his fellow Democrats:  I don't believe what you say.  I am not listening to you - I'm simply watching what you do.

What are some of the things that bother you most?
