Greetings good citizen, mudslingers from all points on the political compass swear upon Jesus that the other guys are LYING [my humble self included] I hedge my accusations with the disclaimer that it is not my objective to tell you 'what to think', rather, my purpose is to provide you with 'something to think about!'
So it is when the facts are against the mindless conservatives they blame the conflict not on their own refusal to recognized reality but on 'lying liberals'.
Well, Liberals lie too but the facts don't. [and generally speaking, the Liberals are usually bagged by their 'ignorance' more so than deliberately trying to pull the wool over their opponent's eyes.)
There are two sides to every story and the conservatives routinely use the side the liberals didn't pick as their own preferred version...despite being clueless themselves.
While I am neither conservative or liberal, I, er, 'defend' the Liberals because they will at least bow to the facts. Conservatives will ignore facts so long as it make them 'right'.
Ersatz, stupid is as stupid does.
Which brings us to my main problem with conservatives...not that you should care. Liberals can keep their PC horseshit too, not EVERYTHING belongs 'inside the tent'. 'Factions' will always exist. It is self-defeating to try and MAKE THEM co-exist. The wise will provide enough 'room' for them to exist separately. Catering to either only sows more resentment.
Equality is a tough line to toe regardless of where you fit in the larger puzzle.
Perhaps the thing to be mindful of is YOUR PASSIONS ARE YOURS!
If you want to embrace YOUR PASSION you must also allow others to EMBRACE THEIRS!
Do the rest of us a favor and keep your 'ridicule' to yourself.
How blind do you have to be not to see that what you loathe about others is precisely what they loathe about YOU?
But we trod upon wisdom now and few of you recognize it at all.
Oh well!
Lies take many forms and often 'half truths' are as good as it gets!
We seem to be saddled with a language that prevents the truth from coming out. In order to explain anything thoroughly it takes too many words and too much 'back tracing' to cover ALL of the possibilities. In some instances you'd have to split hairs infinitely, making the 'truth' unattainable.
So it is we 'trust' the 'brick & mortar' media because they have 'gravitas' yet only a fool trusts them completely because they also have paychecks and the NEED to please the entity that signs those checks...
How sad is it that there are but a few 'truths' while the divisions between us are primarily based on the other side's tendency to 'lie'?
The 'truth' is often 'relative'. It is our refusal to acknowledge that the other fellow is arguing another aspect of the same conclusion that makes us crazy regarding those who, in the end, 'disagree' with us.
Lies come in many types...how sad is it that we MUST find 'common ground' or the conventions that prevent us from killing one another on sight will cease to exist?
Lies serve the self-interested while the truth serves us all.
Will co-operation overcome deceit?
It's not over 'til it is.
Thank you for letting me inside your head,
Gegner
