He who yells the loudest must be the one who is right. We all know that isn't right but that is the feel that I get from both sides. Unfortunately, it is not just the politicians doing this. The gamut ranges from the media to actors to activists groups. We have Keith Olberman, Bill O'Reilly and the Glenn Beck's of television who's words people take as gospel. Through their constant smirks, crying, belittling and condemnations they will bash anyone who doesn't agree with their political agenda. Do they actually take time to read the bills and policies before they comment on them? If anyone wants to really know what is the truth and what is a fallicy you can go to www.factcheck.org. We had Alec Baldwin threatning to leave the country if Bush was elected (Alec stayed in the country). Fortunately not everyone will do something JUST because a celebrity tells them to. Finally we have the TEA Partiers. This WAS a great concept. What I don't like about them is, where was there discontent when this was happening with former President Bush? If you really care about the country why pick and choose who you will protest against? What the TEA partiers are railing against started with President Bush.
I'm all for challenging something if it is wrong, not just when it is convenient or an annoyance to me. It is way to easy to be discontent when the crowd is large, even if you don't totally agree with the whole message. You are allowed to disagree, that is what this great country was founded on. People throw out the words socialism way too easily because they think they know what they are talking about. Take a page from Dr. King and Reverend Shuttlesworth's book and stand up for what you believe in but be smart about it. Anymore when you stand up for what you believe and it don't fall in line with what the Democrats and Republicans think you will be looked down on. That is ok, it is called being an individual. Do not be afraid to be an individual, you will find that you will be more satisfied with yourself when you are not a lemming.
