A Declaration of War; By My Brethren You
At times I grow tired of the rhetoric, which spews across my television. At first it was just the news. Something I could ignore, skip that channel. Now it bleeds through to sitcoms, and public television. The ideologies of politically correct inferior minds are saturating the visual air ways. The thing about this is not simply the politics of it all. The issue is based on the whole concept of fear. I don&#8217;t think these people are simply political. I think these curtain - I dislike to call it philosophy for I think it inferior - uhm, theorist, are so religiously consumed with this wayward judgment, that I have to treat it as a philosophical enemy, as well as ideological one. There are certain groups whom carry an animosity towards growth of the human conscience. Whether they are religious, or political, or what ever. They use fear to inhibit this growth. Taking away the desire to use Free Will. Here I have made some bold declarations about some of the most media "popular" groups in America today. But, if one is to provoke thought, one must provoke the thinker.
