In honor of the Great Philosopher Carlin, here are the 10 Things That Make Me Irate?right now:
10.?155 million males in America, and still very little support, particularly financial, in that demographic for breast cancer research.
Men can get breast cancer, too.?Just keep that in mind when they hand out pink ribbons. Help find a cure. Give generously. It’s in your best interest just as much as it is for the ladies.
9.?The Canadian Conservative government, in their infinite wisdom, has seen fit to make my country less progressive than America, e.g. on the issue of marijuana legalization and gutting Canada’s Medicare System in favor of a pre-Obama style private health care system. Where is Tommy Douglas when you need him? Yes, that IS Jack Bauer, AKA Kiefer Sutherland, Tommy’s grandson, at the beginning of the video.
8. When many Neoconservatives in the Republican Party talk about “traditional American values,” what they really mean are WHITE American values.?Ask an African American who knows their history if they’d like to revisit 1776, where blacks were considered 3/5 of a person. Here’s how it worked:
7. A TV program like “All In The Family” could never be allowed on U.S. network television today. Censorship sucks. We have no dialogue anymore. Nobody wants to talk about serious issues. Ending prejudice begins with education and dialogue.
6. Rand Paul’s facepalm-inducing comment about the poor and disabled “gaming the system.”
As a person with a visible, physical disability, I am personally offended by these comments, and expected better from someone with the last name Paul. See the clip below:

5. Until it was struck down by a court in 2014, in Alabama, sodomy was illegal?and?unchaste women are not allowed to walk the streets after 9 A.M. But on a positive note, you can marry an animal that is “not a relation.” And don’t get me started on The Muppets. A pig and a frog getting together, but gay marriage is constantly challenged?

4.?The Trans-Pacific Partnership, a proposed agreement like NAFTA on steroids, which among other things, would grant global corporations immunity from lawsuits for any wrongdoing.
Don’t believe me? Check out this link from the “Huffington Post!”
3.?Progressives who rally behind Neoconservatives like Hillary Clinton, who has JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs in her back pocket, while REAL progressives like Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren are?largely ignored or dismissed as viable candidates by the media, and you’re led to believe that they don’t have a chance in hell of being in the White House in 2016.
Here’s an article from Mother Jones?on the subject of Hillary Clinton’s Goldman Sachs ties.
2.?Trickle-Down Economics.
Robbing you to feed the rich to benefit… you? Isn’t that redistribution of wealth, GOP?
Let’s ask Pope Francis about it, shall we? Courtesy of the “Huffington Post,” once again.
1.?Probably no one will?like this list.
