Goodness Ohio and zeek! Y'all are making me want to swear off this thread for some kind of petroactive Lent.
Why is it that we're stuck being either a liberal or conservative/democrat or republican. It's funny to me ... NOT !!!. I'm registered as an independent ... I'm actually a mugwump.
I'll read Slate AND Breitbart, Huff Po AND Drudgereport. That way I learn the worst about both political parties.
Cuz I'm also a misanthrope, and realize I'm dealing with fallible humans, that can't be trusted ; don't matter what they call themselves.
Hey, I saw Clintoon, and his wagging finger. And Newt condemning him while doing the same thing.
And after I saw all the lame-stream media, even Fox news, get behind the Iraq war, I don't trust any of them any more either. By reading both sides of the political story, I've gotten pretty handy at catching both sides of the news lying.
But fake news today is flying hot and heavy, like a swarm of bees. It's making my head spin. I can't keep up.
Is that why we join a political party? cuz we can't keep up? So settling for a party just makes it easier? Then we don't have to give it much thought ... (like it's a religion, a cult)???
I don't know. I'm just a cantankerous old curmudgeon. Go on my yard and I'll take a broomstick to ya.
You guys settle down, and try to kiss and make up or something. Or at least sing Kumbaya. Can't we all just get along.? Hey, I've got an idea. It's kind of wacky and crazy. Let's give being Christians a try ... the Jesus in the gospels kind of Christian -- the real Christian -- not the Jesus in Revelation kind of Christian, which is the fake news Jesus.
Goodness! Goodness! Goodness! Even Jesus is polarized!
See! I told you I can't keep up!
