Why no posts? Here's why.

I've spent the last few days reading various and sundry articles, sources, stories, headlines, etc., etc., in a search for something to put up. 

There's a lot out there.  But, it really seems no one is that upset about it. 

I guess folks just do not want to know the details of our total information gathering.  They also don't seem to give a damn about drone strikes, starvation, homeless children, people being "disappeared", unemployment, rape, the total war on women, and damn near everything else  ---  as long as it doesn't happen to THEM.

We don't seem to care about corruption, military misconduct, or any other issues facing our nation.

BUT  --  show a picture of a homeless kitten, and hordes of folks "CARE"!

Talk about "gay marriage", abortion  ---  and an entire series of groups are willing to go to war.

Never mind equal rights for EVERYONE   ----   these flks want equal rights for THEM!!

ME!!     -----     not you.  NEVER YOU!

How can I put anything up when I usually can't bring myself to read the entire article?  How can I post stuff that is made up BULLSHIT from both left and right.

The supposed "left" in this country has apoplexy over guns  --  no matter that they play fast and loose with the facts.  They make all sorts of apologies, justifications, for the Obama Administrations "habit" of taping EVERYTHING EVERYONE SAYS, writes, posts, comments on.  If they could read your thoughts  --  they'd do that too.  Insane paranoia.  Doing all kinds of "stuff" only because you can.  The actual morality matters not.

Lazy bureaucrats who want us to do their work.  "Operatives" who are too damn lazy to get the REAL "bad folks", so they have some ready made scapegoats available at all times.

We have folks playing "video games"  --  drone strikes that actually kill real people.  It seems we make quite a few "mistakes"   ------   OOPS!

When someone does an expose of our governmental misconduct  --  we seem to ALL get pissed off at the "whistleblower".  We don't even approach the story with any degree of "critical thinking"  --  he is WRONG!! (the whistleblower").

What can I write?  What can I post that's not a lie?  How much fact-checking do I have to do to find actual "facts", the "almost truth"?

That's another problem   ---   the right wing "knows" all THEIR pet conspiracy theories are "true"  --  even AFTER they have been totally disproved. 

Other folks want at least some truth  --  unless it's about an issue they are "passionate" about  --  then, "the truth be damned".

I'm currently very tired of all this crap.  I'm tired of folks who know no history, nothing about The Constitution, nothing about he actual "promise of America", nothing about immigration, the brutality of slavery, nothing about what actually happened during The Civil War, nothing about what our "founding fathers" actually thought, taking made up "facts", selected "quotes" out of context, and weaving these lies into some sort of bastardized "history".

Go read.  Go to original sources, go to real historians.  Find out about the "mixed economy" we had during the 1950's and 60's.  Discover how actual prosperity helped EVERYONE.  Look at the finer aspects of our character.  See how religion supported freedom, equality , and civil rights for all. 

Now, look at how religion supported slavery, "Social Darwinism", inequality, poverty, and virtual slavery of working folks.  Learn what people had to do to actually build "The American Way".

Do the research.  Then come back and try to talk the trash you've been fed in some of the "schools" out there now.

Register.  Vote.  Support people who will support you.  Don't go out and vote against your own self interest because some liar tells you it just might help "them" (whoever that is) also.

Talk to you soon.
