One has to wonder, is it the monster we create that we should fear or perhaps ourselves for permitting that monster to thrive? One has to wonder is it the rampage in which the monsters ravage the land we should worry about or the mere fact we established that course of destruction almost mapping out their evil conquests.One has to wonder is it the monsters who pillage, prey upon or participate in the removal of morals. values, honesty and integrity or the crafty maker of that monster who love the lies, loathing and fodder of fiction they leave in their wake to whom we need to be afraid?
FOX News thrives living on lies, mistruths and made up stuff. They insight fear via fiction, they present innuendo without one moment of conscience, they divide and conquer always insisting it is a war against we vs them. FOX News places homage to hate bolstering bias and bigotry. But FOX News is one of the most watched cable stations on television so one has to wonder should we be more wary of FOX or the folks who love a good hater and love to hate? Listen closely to the doctored stories of the Affordable Health Care Law, the butchered fables about anything Obama, the antagonistic anecdotes about progressives or liberals or good old Americans who actually believe the Constitution is above the Bible and if you listen close enough FOX will be anything but fair and balanced. But try and beat them in the ratings. This communications monster is hungry because the townsfolk are constantly feeding it.
The Republican Party afraid that truth and honor were too much for their weak political platform decided to reach out to a fringe element in America. They courted a group of people who thought Jesus fought in the Revolutionary War, still flew the Confederate Flag, decided that Gays were as bad as blacks, blacks as awful as immigrants, immigrants as stupid as women and women as annoying as anyone in need of a decent minimum wage or a job. The Republican Party denied voting rights, equal rights, created scapegoats, abridged both the Bible and the Constitution and refused to pass any law that had the words fair, just or equal in it. They won elections with empty promises but dance to the tune of bigots and the bogus, and they created a monster calling themselves the Tea Party. And the monster created by the Republicans started to eat its master, but even with that the Republicans continued to support the Tea Party. So who do we blame for chaos and lack of any discourse in our politics the monster or the mad scientists who created it?
How can the stupid the inane, the fool the monster be so powerful, easy; when the townsfolk, the scientist, the bystanders let them. Madness might be manageable if those not afflicted with the disease just say enough is enough. But somehow in America even when we are aware of the infliction of the dumb and dumber we somehow remain silent thinking a lack of action will eventually be enough. One has to wonder who is to blame, the monster ot the people who created it?
