    Default Wish I would have listened.... to MYSELF

    Was looking through some of my old stuff from a board I used to haunt some time ago. I posted this there back in Sept of 2012. Seems pretty appropriate with everything going on now.

    .................................................. .................................................. ......................................





    "There are times I wish I had never gotten into the hobby and study of politics and social engineering. Its almost better to be ignorant in a way. Because it seems the more you know,.......the more you hate. And hate isnt a good thing. Oh,....I dont hate my fellow man at all,....I do however hate those who pull the strings in politics and those who follow along for the most greedy and selfish reasons.


    I see this country/world as being more divided now than probably any time in my short lifespan. Dems/repubs, Liberal /conservative, black/ white , Christians/Muslims, rich/ poor, Capitalists/ Socialists, traditional moralists/ the anything goes crowd.

    I cant get this nagging feeling out of the back of my head that this is all being engineered by SOMEBODY. Doesnt really matter WHO the who is either. All I know is this world seems like it is being ripped apart,....divided into groups. This way we do each other in for whoever is sitting back and pulling the strings. Makes it pretty easy dont it?

    Take myself for example.......Ive always been a conservative,...my whole life. But NEVER have I had these type of feelings towards those I oppose politically. I didnt really care for Clinton myself,..but I didnt really HATE THE MAN. But Obama,...and a great many of the cronies he appointed since becoming President,....yes...I HATE THEM. Having said that I still dont wish them any ill will,.......I do pray they get thrown from office though as I see them as people who are set about to destroy the very fabric of the country. Its almost as if they want to wipe out any last vestige of traditional Christian values and will not stop until they have completed their goal. How can I not hate that?


    Having said all that.........I see the situation as somewhat hopeless. Eventually we will all turn on each other and rip this planet apart. WAYYYYYYYYY too much division. Maybe thats the way it was always intended to be, who knows.


    Upon much reflection I think we all could have taken a good lesson from Adam and Eve and chosen not to take a bite of the political apple. As I said,........maybe its better not to know."

    Two currents shaped your opinion back in 2012, talk radio and cable infotainment, give up both today, and throw in politics on the Internet/social media and might revert back to a different frame of mind

    He spelled it out, it is obvious, first current he recognizes is hate for Clinton, matches exactly the rise of talk radio, and then his own hate for Obama, matching Fox‘s ascendency, both operate on melodrama, good guys/bad guys, all right there

    How could you hate Obama?

    Most conservatives conceded that he was extremely likable, even though they disagreed with him vehemently.

    Hate? I've actually never heard anyone say that about him.

    You didn't hate Obama if you wished him no ill will. I don't see how a civilized person could hate Obama anyway. He's a perfectly decent guy. Not a woman abuser, not a serial liar, not out strictly for himself; well spoken, educated, reasonable in his approaches to issues, a good father, in a warm and obviously loving relationship with his wife, charitable...
    what's to hate?

    Obama is a kind, intelligent, decent person... But he is Black, so stone hates him.
