Change the game, vote smart, don’t fall for finger-pointing

I’m growing increasingly tired of the politics. The Democrats scream that they “inherited” the debt, which is true. The President loves to reiterate that point, while conveniently forgetting that he was a Senator passing spending bills for 4 years of the 8. The Republicans play innocent, never acknowledging their greed. Same game, different players. Unless they were elected last year and/or voted against the wasteful spending, then no one is innocent. I see politicians on all sides get a “come to Jesus moment” when power shifts in D.C or it’s a election year…

Bullet/Question

“Illegality & immorality are neither mutually exclusive or inclusive”-me
What do you think the meaning of my bullet quote is? Something to chew on over the weekend. Later!

Labels

Geeks. Freaks. Losers. Worthless. Trash. Queers. Racial Slurs. Zealots. Terrorists. Racists. Fatso.
Labels, Stereotypes. One or more peoples opinions of someone else or group. 
What is an opinion? Just another’s perception and subjective judgement of something/someone. Is this bad for you, another’s thoughts of you?
Only if you let it. Do not let anyone define you. To give you a label. They don’t know you as well as you should know yourself. Define yourself. Look inside with both eyes open and be what you want to be and continue to raise the bar.
Who are they to define you? What do they know? Letting others define you is a weight that slows you down, take the cutting torch of your introspection and cut it loose. Be a custom job, not typecast, and be happy. After all your opinion of yourself is the only one that matters.

Thank You

Many thanks to all who’ve been reading my site, without you guys I would just be talking to myself. You folks sure are quiet though. Feel free to comment, agree, disagree, give me your points of view and ask questions. I thrive on discourse, anyone who can’t handle an opposing view needs to remove their blinders and see the world as it is. A kaleidoscope of opinion. Thanks again-Ronin  

Another Ideological Skirmish

http://abcnews.go.com/m/screen?id=11986106
Watching the Move On activist getting taken down, and later the minutes before, what led up to it, reminds me of why I wait before I talk. It takes awhile for information to get out. The link above is the only article I found, the rest is blogs filled with finger-pointing. I’m sure their are others I just hadn’t found them but I have enough for where I’m going in this post.

The lady with her sign and wig works as a paid activist for Move On.org, was waiting on Rand Paul’s limo to arrive. She shoved the sign into a open window and what looks like security moved in. Apparently some supporters or campaign workers helped. Holding her down with one of the guys with his foot on the back of her head.

First, the guys taken down one girl is a bit overkill. He claimed he was protecting the candidate. From what? And that’s what his security is for. Any charges he faces is deserved.
Second, the girl didn’t go to the debate to debate the issues. She went with a “award” she wanted to give to Rand. It looks like she went to incite an emotional reaction, and guess what? Mission Accomplished. Though probably not to the degree that it happened. I’m not excusing what happened to her, it was wrong.

All this was is another skirmish in the ideological war. Now the opposing sides are racing to make themselves the victims and the other evil. The lady will be held up as a martyr in the battle against the right wing. At least one of the men has charges against him(which he should). In the emotional chaos the message from both sides is lost. And this helps no one truly wanting to help the country, using logic and reason instead of swayed by swirling emotions in the battle for control.
