Want My Vote? - Start Talking Facts!

Big problem when any political party cannot win over a citizens vote using facts reasoned through the prism of their political philosophy. Far too many messages used today are fact less, or worse, they are misleading and/or downright false.

I have been railing on political platitudes and euphemisms these past days since I see this blather as a suppressor of knowledge and the education of our citizenry. I see our political class with a moral obligation to increase the capacity of our countrymen. And not to purposefully, for political gain feed our countrymen’s biases keeping them suppressed in ignorance by feeding them falsehoods, false hopes and false images.

This offending Tucson resident was clearly confused about life, his position in it, and his obligation to other human beings going about the business of living their lives. Never the less, he chose a “Congresswoman on her corner” as the place for his premeditated act and this makes the terror act political by its very nature; period.
