Felt compelled by the recent fear mongering happening by many in this country against Socialism. First of all, socialism is NOT communism, let’s just get that straight right away. Socialism is giving out “wealth” based on the abilities and work produced by an individual (sound like the “American Dream”? I would think so, work hard and get paid for that work), Communism is giving “wealth” out based on the perceived needs of individuals.
The news source that I support and love to watch, The Young Turks(TYT).
This is another PSA I am sending out to my fellow people who care about a real critique of what politicians and policies are doing to people in this Country. Cenk Uygur is a great and outspoken host. He started TYT many years ago and has created the largest online news source in America. They are exclusively online, by doing a live show streamed online every day from 5 – 7pm CST. Also as a member, which I am, I also can download or stream them at later dates. Also the bonus of the Post-Game is amazing, where the hosts are more open and discuss lighter topics, it can help me calm back down from the generally tough news prior. I am writing this as a PSA.
I know many may be sick of my more outspoken political stances recently. I am not going to apologize for my new found interest and drive to help people not just listen to the lies given to us from the mainstream media. It is not all liberal and it is not all conservative. They all are guilty of it because of 1 main issue that has destroyed the Democracy in this country. Money in politics… I have a response to the Facebook post that seems to keep circulating around about BLM disrupting the airport last week. The post essentially makes the claim that it hurts the cause of BLM by making more people, who may have been neutral, go to being against the movement and more upset at black people.
This is my first ever attempt at a blog. I will not fool you or myself and claim it will be flawless as I move forward. What I do claim is I will try to learn from my experiences and comments. I hope to keep this going and try to engage the populous in a productive way. I want to express my opinions and why I have them. I want to learn what others think and why they believe what they do. I do Not know everything, I will never make that statement. I want to learn just like I hope each of you wants to learn. This should be a fun ride as this coming year is an Election year for our President. I hope you all have a wonderful New Years. Thank you for taking the time to come onto my page and read my thoughts.
