Avoiding News

I have been making a concerted effort at avoiding the network news.  You might think I am just sticking my head in the sand.  You would be right in a sense.  Most of what I am avoiding is the idiotic politics and the outrageous political correctness.  It gets my blood pressure up to places it shouldn't be and I let it eat at me much to long.

Most of the politics are just sound bites anyway.  You never get the whole story either.  No real substance.  Especially with the current GOP leader.  He is fooling a lot of good people.  But it shows how shallow we have become, when just sound bites can sway your thinking. 

The following is what I see happening.  

"Conservatism has a problem.

This problem seems to be metastasizing rapidly, and we’ve seen it manifest itself at numerous points in the last few years. It always goes like this: Some person comes along and says, like, one thing conservatives agree with, and next thing you know he or she is being hailed as the right wing messiah, and all who oppose the new savior must hand over their conservative membership cards and be cast out into the desert. It doesn’t matter if this savior is dishonest, frivolous, obnoxious, fraudulent, inarticulate, embarrassing, or for that matter profoundly liberal. All they have to do is vaguely plagiarize something conservative pundits and politicians have already said a million times since Sunday, and their status as right wing folk hero will be cemented. Indeed, even the conservatives they plagiarized must now bow or be forsaken."

 

Read the rest here, Matt Walsh has another well thought out column.  It's worth your time.  And if you're a Trump supporter, you really need to read with an open mind.  You just might learn something about this so called conservative.  He's a sheep in wolf's clothing.  He has no principles other than money.   If you have fallen for what Trump says, you really should consider these words and do some of your own research.
