Liberty: Nodding in Agreement

When I was back in college I used to listen to the professors just rail on the president.  At the time it was Ronald Reagan.  They hated Republicans. They hated conservatives.  They hated money. They hated the United States, unless it was about hugging trees.  

My buddy and I wouldnt stand for it.  We would lash back at them during class, and we would not let them get away with it.  Most of the students thought we were idiots, and naive.  They thought we just wanted to debate...to be contrary.  That was not the case, we were mad.  Wow I just realized I was a young Republican ( I never liked those guys...too preppy for me)!

Is there anything worse than sitting in an audience and watching everyone shake their heads and nod in agreement with the speaker - no matter what he says?   I think not.  I still see this when I am in meetings, concerts, speaking events, churches etc.  People arent really listening.  They are just there and in the moment.  They are not thinking. They are not paying attention.

So what I've learned since college is, things have not really changed.  Today someone told me millions of people are going to die now because Massachusetts elected a Republican to the Senate.  Another said that those people of that state want Americans to die.  See what I'm dealing with here folks?  It's those damn professors from colllege still lurking about.  Who are these people without brains that come up with this stuff? 

Yes of course this replies to Republicans too who support politicians without thinking.  Don't get me wrong, stupidity knows no party lines.  My work is never done.  It's getting worse.

A friend of mine took the short political quiz and came up with the results Moderate. She said she was happy.  I said you may be happy, but you aren't free!!!  I'll help her, don't worry.

And the meek shall inherit the earth.
