Look at Washington...Not Texas

I just turned on Foxnews and then CNN to see what was on. Texas, Texas, Texas. Man shoots, kills and wounds. I guess America can watch that and not feel so bad about their own lives. I don't know. I don't see how it's entertaining or informative to the point of affecting ones life. I wonder if this is considered a "hate crime", now warranting extra punishment.

Meanwhile in D.C. there is a debate. On one side of the room men and women are saying "NO, don't vote on this bill. Look at this part, and this part that funds abortion, gives illegals health care, cuts Medicare, raises taxes, and is one of the largest smacks in the face to our Founding Fathers and Constitution." On the other side of the room are men and women saying "YES, we must vote this bill into law. It's so SAD that some people can't afford health care. What those other guys are saying is false, despite what the bill actually says. We need to be good Samaritans and help those who are LESS FORTUNATE. When losing health care, families get SCARED, not knowing what to do. It's NOT RIGHT for us to deny these SAD, SCARED, LESS FORTUNATE people the health care they DESERVE."

Watching this back and forth discussion as one side referred to facts while the other side played on emotion I thought...How has America become so incredibly stupid? How has America stopped looking at the facts? How can America believe that emotional decisions and votes are a good thing when ignoring the actual decision and things on which they are voting on?

I've read that when America decided to break away from England they only had 10% support.
I've read that it was only 3% of the New Americans that fought against England.

America may be stupid, impartial, apathetic, lazy, ignorant, and content with other people doing things for them. I however, am none of the above, and while I may be the minority and proud of it, I am not alone. The ones that have broken away from the ignorance we've been led to believe is so blissful are very upset. The ones who understand history, know it, and believe in the Constitution are looking at you D.C...Not Texas. We will fight for this country.

God bless America
