LEARN IT ALREADY!



Seriously?

Are people such fucking sheep that they will believe anything they are told?
Or are they so lazy that they don’t go looking for the fucking truth or facts on a matter?

OK, so this spawns from this article (and others like it):

I know there are two side to every argument. I know that the truth is often overlooked to push forward an agenda.
The Left blames the Right, the Right blames the Left.

I get it.

“It’s not my fault! It’s those scheming (insert political opponent here)!”

The point of this post is to tell you all that YOU HAVE A BRAIN OF YOUR OWN!

Get ALL of the facts – not just the ones that support YOUR views! A lack of well-rounded fact-based information is the same as a lie. Here are the facts:

The House apparently passed a budget that would have covered everything except Obamacare.
The Senate rejected it and set forth a plan to “shut down” the government – creating mass hysteria (or so I’m told).
The blame goes back and forth, but it remains in place, with the government as a whole, putting federal employees on furlough.

Really? The national parks are closed? The memorials and monuments? Because every time I got to one of THOSE places, I can’t function if there isn’t a disinterested government employee reading the funnies at his or her desk while I walk in the woods.

So I come to you and I plead, DEMAND that Congress impose term limits!
Vote the “career politicians” out of office! (see blog entry entitled Sweet heady scent of November Turnovers - but always the empty stomach in December - http://rivertouch.blogspot.com/2012/05/sweet-heady-scent-of-november-turnovers.html)

We are the people of the greatest nation on the planet! We have control, but only if we use it. We stand by and allow the government to do as it will, doing nothing to stop the destruction of the rights granted us by the Constitution!

I hate the fact people bitch and do nothing to change the situation. The complacency, the laziness, the ignorance.

All of that can be fixed! Get off your fucking ass and DO something about it.

In some cases, I vote for the new guy simply because he is not incumbent. REAL change starts locally and can move mountains!
