Read and Think

I wish people would take the time to understand what some of the stuff they read or post actually says.

The main thing I see is stuff that attacks a position that no one is pursuing.

For example, they are coming to take your guns if you don't stop them.

Now this type of thing is always based on a sort of hinted conspiracy of people who are trying to take away American values and rights.

However, the one case where we know that to be true is when the Russians influenced the election and told lies and exaggerations to poison the well.

They get away with this because we have media that is will to allow these sort of weird theories air time to get viewers and ad revenues.

Another example is the so called attack on Christian values.

Millions of Americans are convinced that someone is trying to undermine their religious beliefs.  No one is, in fact the main intolerance seems to be the other way around.

Trying to make this country promote a single set of beliefs is clearly a violation of our constitution and a betrayal of our heritage, yes most everyone was a Christian but we promoted freedom of religion, not religious conformance.

So much of this is passed on without actually thinking about what it is saying.  For example. no one cares if you go around saying Merry Christmas.  You just don't have to.
