The Briar Patch

This one is a VERY political post, if your not a fan of my politics maybe just close it.... As of this writing there has not been an announcement by the jury  Kyle Rittenhouse took 2 lives, for that he should face some sort of punishment. If you want my opinion I don't really care that he did BUT if we want a society run with laws and order yes sadly he should be punished. Now I don't think by any means it should be a murder 1 charge. You always hear these sob stories about how society failed someone, Kyle was failed by society. First off, if you look up Kenosha and what happened Wikipedia calls it "Unrest" It WASN'T fucking unrest there is over $50 million dollars in damage. It was arson and riots. Unrest is protesters with signs at the legislature grounds here, chanting or whatever they do. Hell unrest could be the blockades of pipelines. $50 million in damage is not fucking unrest, it is disgusting that mainstream media is painting it down. Call a spade a spade...

 I was trying to work a bit of my life into where my politics came from BUT this is already WAY longer than I planned, plus if you scroll back I have like an 8 part or something autobiography. So I will just make this part quick. I grew up in Grande Prairie in the 80s and 90s. My mom had me fairly young so I spent a LOT of time with my grandparents who I am really close with. We were / are just an average middle class family. Early on I was big into reading and writing. My grandmother was part owner in a book store. I was an only child until 14 so I spent a lot of time alone and need to get an imagination.... Throw out all your redneck stereotypes, other than fishing I wasn't anywhere near that. My step dad did take me hunting and buy me my first gun. So yes I did learn things like that eventually BUT I am far from that. In fact when I moved to Edmonton at 19 in 2000 I was more likely a NDP city boy... I did grow up, it just took some time. Did average in school but did come in 3rd...

 Lets start with honesty, this entry will be quick and dirty. (Right there thats not honest. I meant to do that but it exploded and this is now a 2 parter)  It is about me and what I believe and it is brought on by my new favorite podcast. Behind the Bastards. I ranted a tiny bit about them last blog and this is a carry on from that. When they do a real bastard it is one of the funniest and most well written pods I have heard in a long time. Honestly my only issue is the left leaning smugness that comes up if it has anything to do with politics in the current world. I need to be SUPER clear here, just because someone doesn't agree with a left leaning view hardly makes them a Nazi. That drove me mental, I cannot remember which episode it was but the Nazi Vs Commie debate was touched on, which is better?? NEITHER!! These are the two most bloody regimes in history. Just walk away and don't try and say either one was better... Also don't bring Antifa on as legit commenters. The...
