Political Ignorance

I am so tired of people spouting their opinions on political situation without first researching and becoming truly knowledgeable.  They jump in with their rhetoric repeating the propaganda that some right wing nut job tells them is the truth before they check the facts.

Some are misinformed, other are willingly ignorant. In both cases thou I find their inflammatory rants tiring.  I am finding it harder and harder each day to keep my feelings on their hate mongering to myself. I guess thats part of the reason I decided to start this blog. To give myself a place to speak my mind and try to be a voice of informatory and reason in what is becoming a more and more stratified environment .

The republican party have admitted that they are deliberate blocking any and all bills and proposition that the white house and the democrats put forth, even those that would benefit their own constituents.  The reason for this is to Get Obama out of office at all costs.  They will lie to anyone willing to listen placing all the blame for this countries woes on this administration.  When if your willing to put in a little research it becomes all to clear that the Bank failures, Home foreclosures, job losses and economic collapse all lead back to the prior administration. And that all the attempts to bring about a turn around have been squashed by their own party.

If Obama is at fault of anything it not having the drive to do what LBJ did and get his programs past whatever it took.  He wanted to be a peace maker and unfortunately for him he didn't see that the republicans don't respect peacemakers. So now we sit with nothing achieved in 3 years other then a general displeasure of the government and a lot of finger pointing.

Sadly I do not see a remedy to our situation.  The republican have done such a good job of conveying their messages of hate and blame that many who would stand up and fight have given up under the weight of the negativity. So unless we can get the truth out and irradiate the political ignorance that has permeated this country I do not see a light at the end of this dark tunnel.
