Narrowminded Intolerance

We have allowed the hate-mongering established elite to divide us along lines that are incomprehensibly defined.  Both sides claim to be for liberty and equality because they know that’s what people desire, and both claim that the other side is for big government and cronyism because they know that is what people do not desire.  Both sides defend themselves with selective examples of their own virtues and use strawman declarations to deride the other side.  As a result, political discussion has degraded to mostly name-calling and insults.

Meanwhile, the established elite get away with extorting ever-increasing amounts of liberty and resource away from the citizenry and routing it to an ever-widening array of special interests and self-enriching schemes.  Why not, we all too busy insulting one another to notice.  Plus, if a person admits that their side is anything but 100% virtuous it might leave an opening for the other side, which we all know is 100% evil.

It is such a horrible way to end a nation conceived in Liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.  With mindless followers’ name calling and shaming to the beat of a drum pounded by an elite establishment that cares nothing for Liberty or equality.

Please, stop the incessant name-calling and ridicule.  This isn’t an elementary schoolyard; this is real life and our children and grandchildren will pay the real price for this practice of narrowminded intolerance.
