| Look at all of those crazy people down there |
Anyone who has read The Mess for any lengthy period of time
or who have spent any amount of time talking to me knows that I rarely discuss
religion or politics. I don’t mind discussing them, mind you. I just prefer
having intelligent discussions on the subjects and not debate with an asinine
ignoramus who really doesn’t wish to talk about issues, but who wants to merely
rant like an elementary school student on the playground. These people believe
that if they scream louder than everyone else and use harsh language and
negative comments then they’ll win their argument. You can’t argue with
arrogant ignorance, so I don’t try. They may think they’ve won, but in reality
I have because I have now discovered another part of the problem with our
country.
However, lately my social media newsfeeds have been full of
both political parties doing their best to make each other out to be the bad
guy. The problem is that the ones pointing a finger are just as corrupt as the
ones they are pointing at. I don’t care if they’re Democrat or Republican. Both
parties want to control the nation. Yet, neither party can control themselves.
They’re politicians and therefore not to be trusted. Stop defending your
political party and bashing the other. Start standing up for people and for
yourself. Stand up for things that matter.
Furthermore, stop getting all of your news from just one
source. Realize that the media is slanted in one direction or the other and
there is no such thing as neutral journalism. They want you to believe in what
they believe in, so will slant their stories to attempt to sway you. Also, do
not just click and share the things you come across on social media. Be your
own investigative reporter and discover if the story is accurate before sharing
it. Then, only share the facts. Part of their game is to breed the confusion of
information and if you just click without fact checking, then you are part of
the problem working for those who would spread propaganda to keep you ignorant
of the truth of what is really going on. You are only adding to the distraction
that is keeping people from discovering the reality of an issue.

| We need to pull together, not rip apart |
There are too many citizens blindly following those who
would lead them over a cliff. We have proven how gullible we are to buy the
pack of lies that we are constantly being handed. No one gets anything for
free. You will be paying for their handouts with your future freedoms and we
can already see this taking place in several areas today. If you so blindly
hand over your liberties, then you deserve the future that awaits you.
I’m not telling you which issues to stand up for or to
abandon your party or convictions. I am
telling you to research for yourself all sides of a matter and only repeat the
facts, not other’s opinions or what comes through your newsfeeds. I’m not here
to sway you in one direction or another. We can have those debates if you want,
but that’s not the basis of this rant. All I want is for you to ease being
blind in who you follow and what you repeat. We have enough parrots as it is.
When you post in ignorance, you hurt your party more than you help them and as
a people we’re confused enough already. Isn’t it time we prove to the
politicians we’re not as stupid as they think we are?
