For the past few years as I wandered through the jungle of the internet and finally found blogging, I spent most of my "thinking" time with pen and paper or, finally, in Word.
The past two years, I've started my day reading those "blogs" that I have found to be reasonable, intelligently written, truthful and informing. I have, alas, also come across a very few of the "hate gang" blogs. I have discovered that I cannot give much time, if any, to haters. I get enough of that from what little "news" I read or listen to on a daily basis. So, I have finally come to blog myself. Very slow starter, but I hope to be wiser about what my blogging will be.
I have a list of first thing in the morning blogs I visit and usually within less than a couple of hours, I have most of what's going on in my head. I have chuckled a lot when I read or hear something that the MSM in print or voice takes several days to get out.
The hate has escalated beyond what I consider normal. And the Query that I have spent considerable time pondering these past few months is, not, why they hate the U.S. and conservatives/traditionalists: why would they like us?
Most homo sapiens are born to spend their lives thinking in terms of their daily lives. Not the past or the future. Everything that happens is in the now without thought to the why. Homo sapiens are happiest when they get to do whatever they want, when they want it. Get what they want however they have to get it. Caring about themselves to the exclusion of every other homo sapien out there.
So, it should come as no surprise that "hate" is the operative emotion from these types. So why should they like human beings? And, human beings are, you see, those types that started the philosophy of freedom beginning with the Greeks and down throughout history ending with those white men who jeporidized their entire lives and those of their families to work out a system that became the United States of America. No, not perfect. Far from it. But, consensus is, afterall what makes life worth living. They started with an ideal. That all men are created equal and are endowed by their "creator" with the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Notice they didn't say happiness. They said the pursuit of happiness. Was each person involved happy about everything that had been set in place? Of course not! But, they knew exactly what they did not want: to be ruled by kings, tribal elders, religionists of any stripe and, most importantly, by persons to took power into their hands. They knew that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
