Ignorance subsidized by stupidity equals Bigotry. This statement sums up my feelings about folks who believe everything they read and hear with no filters. Many of us ascribe to one political faction or another and often cross lines because they misunderstand their  Constitutional rights. These rights while broad do not allow for the extreme measures some people (and States) take on certain issues and in some cases. This country which is , if not the freest  is one of the freest allows for personal actions and thinking up to a point of trampling on the rights of others. When these outlaws (as it were) gain followers through radical actions and writings then the time for the general public to look cautiously at them for their beliefs and actions is at hand. Many other countries would immediate attempt to eradicate these people along with their beliefs but here we allow it up to a point. What is apparent is that some who take up their cause for often ill conceived and under informed reasons  are many times the victims in  events that could result in death and imprisonment. This sense of self and being are many times fueled by the nattering’s of the “white” politicians who unfortunately have the innate sense that no one can run the government as well as they can. The current Congress while recently in the majority has never been a good force in the Government as  a whole, primarily because of the  backing received by big money donors (not the “American people ” they are so fond of citing). These Dupublicans have for so long spoken from both sides of their mouths that they can no longer speak straight. (this is true too for the other “major party” too). We have to look and listen carefully at what is being actually said and what is reported to in the media. On the subject of the media we have to closely monitor what is said and printed, the modern media outlets have become more entertainment than information and begs us to depend on what we actually read elsewhere. An example of misrepresentation is the Keystone XL pipeline, this is one item being pushed to show that the majority party has power and is working for “the American people”. This pipeline will connect to the gulf states via an existing (through Nebraska pipeline and will initially provide thousands of jobs in several states but thereafter only about 50 jobs will be permanent. The Dupublicans are gearing up for the 2016 Presidential race and nothing more. If we are not careful we will have a Government of the Richest and not the people.
