People get the government they deserve. If the Dem's, Independents and the apathetic
don't turn out and vote then we will have government by the crazy for the
wealthy.
It doesn't have to make sense because the government is by the people – by the people
– by the people…
…and the government reflects
the populace – the majority.
When a blatantly ignorant Tea Party candidate wins a seat
in the Senate or Congress that is a reflection of that state – that represents
the majority.
Fox News has a much larger following than their polar opposite
MSNBC. That mirrors our Nation.
The Republicans blame everything on President Obama; I
blame everything on religion that has institutionalizes ignorance and now holds
a foothold in government.
As long as religion holds sway in this country – as long as
states remove pages from text books and religious factions decide what can and
cannot be taught – as long as ignorant people line up and vow allegiance to the
loudest evangelist we will remain a country of the ignorant, for the powerful and
by the manipulative.
Get used to it.
This is who we are.
Perhaps it is who we have always been.

Humans have always been herd animals. Following the herd is what we do. It sure is easier than thinking for ourselves.
ReplyDeleteDid you read that the Russians have eliminated over half of the approved textbooks for Russian schools. The approved texts are heavily edited, and incidentally, the publisher is very connected to Putin. Bad news, because this really affects the Russian publishing industry as well as the education system. But this is where the Republicans would take America. Look at the alliance Putin has made with the Russian Orthodox Catholic Church! The state religion and a religion of conservative intolerance. No wonder the Russians drink.
