Where is the peace
Armistice no where to be found
Radicals raging, government filled streets
Inconceivable atrocities
Stay calm and don't disobey
Pay attention to what they say
Ears that don't fail, minds that wont believe
Allow love to heal
Cultivate kindness
End the hypocrisy, find the peace

Bernie Sanders Stays Slaying
In a recent interview with MSNBC, Senator Bernie Sanders slammed his Republican colleagues. He spoke out against those who "stay up nights figuring out how they can give more tax breaks to millionaires and billionaires and large corporations and then come back and try to cut food stamps for families who are hungry, for kids who are hungry, try to cut Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid." The farm bill put in effect in February with cut about $8.6 million dollars from food stamp aid over the next 10 years. Millions of Americans have also lost their Emergency Unemployment Compensation benefits, as it expired at the end of 2013. Ron Paul is also planning to cut $4.6 trillion over the next 10 years. These budget cuts are going to raise the unemployment rate, shrink the economy and eliminate 2 million jobs in 2014 alone, according to the Economic Policy Institute. I believe Sanders is correct with his statements regarding the Republican party and it's inhabitants.
Coming from a lower/middle class family, with uneducated parents who work double shifts every chance they get, I've developed a bit of a resintment towards those who have a higher political and financial status than my own. Especially the Republicans, (most Democrats honestly) who have been notorious for being closed minded, money hungry, misogynistic, powerhouses. The Republican Party has been eating its own in an effort to achieve some Platonic ideal of ideological purity for years, and has caused more harm than good. Bernie Sanders seems to understand and share my disgust for these types of people. He is known as one of the most liberal members of congress, and never censors what he has to say. KUDDOS TO YOU BRO
Isn't he precious?
