We (and the media's bias against it)

Greetings good citizen, I recently called for a 'union' of like-minded individuals but it has become apparent that 'like-minded' is harder to come by than it used to be.

Gone is the sense of community or even what could be called 'common experience' in this world we share.

Now we all live on the same planet and we all live under the same rules so how can we be so 'divided'?

Can't begin that discussion without first explaining the 'Golden Rule'...there are three things people HATE, without exception, Cameras, mirrors and the TRUTH!

We are divided because the media made life 'personal'. They made it perfectly okay to put your own 'interpretation' on what's wrong with the world and encouraged you to 'celebrate your uniqueness!'

Once it was hip to profess to being 'Socially Liberal but Fiscally Conservative [like such a thing was possible, it's not.] Now you know anybody who spits out a line like that is really saying is 'I'm confused'...[or is just trying to avoid being labeled 'closed-minded'.]

Ever wonder why the CORPORATE OWNED MEDIA has become OBSESSED with 'wedge issues' [especially during the now year and a half long 'election cycle'?]

No irony should be lost on the fact that this 'fear of being labeled' has resulted in a generation that has NO Moral Compass.

None whatsoever.

So it came to pass that conservatives 'championed' gay marriage while rejecting it at the same time! Now they are championing 'trans-sexuality' while similarly claiming the 'moral high ground' of rejecting it as well.

And those 'posing' as Democrats just lie there like the roadkill that they are, 'steamrolled by their ideological opponents. [from both sides of the argument!]

It's nonsense like this that lends creedence to the deeply mistaken notion that the corporate-owned media has a 'Liberal Bias.'

When in reality most people wouldn't know a true liberal if they were bit by one! Almost everyone revers Franklin Roosevelt as the savior of the free world but few recognize that his brand of 'liberalism' was erased from Washington when LBJ left office.

Worse, there are those today who fail to recognize [but out of 'party loyalty'] are going to vote for the wife of the man who single-handedly erased the New Deal.

[But enough Hillary bashing.]

The real tragedy here is that (almost) nobody appreciates the significance of what's happening here.

This morning my homepage displayed two smiling youngsters, so innocent that what they KNOW about their own 'sexuality' wouldn't fill a thimble, cheerfully (but with zero appreciation for their act) affixing a 'trans-gendered' label to a school lavatory.

So, good citizen, who is the closed-minded 'monster' here? Me or the 'playing boths sides of the fence' corporate owned media?

Kids that don't LEARN RIGHT FROM WRONG from the ADULT COMMUNITY will be TOTALLY UNABLE to participate intelligently in their own governance!

See, these kids are being taught that 'tolerance' outweighs a respect for goodness. [With good being what advances 'social cohesion' and bad being what promotes 'abberent behavior'.]

What these kids aren't being taught is 'natural selection' results in 'normal attraction' and those not favored for normal attraction will take whatever they can get!

It is here we return to those 'three things people hate'. If you're not 'naturally attractive' you often won't admit that...even to yourself. How sad is it that often these 'easily frustrated' types will switch teams without giving the natural process a second chance?

Then they become 'rabid' about defending what often turns out to be a poor choice indeed. [Not that they'd EVER admit that!]

That's another thing about our new 'celebrate your mediocrity' society, nobody own their failures, even when they're punished for them...so nobody sees the advantage in 'improving' themselves.

AND we ALL 'pay the price'.

Not one of my more stellar missives but somebody has to defend the truth regardless of how unpopular it is.

Thanks for letting me inside your head,

Gegner
