Some of ya know that I HAVE been at this blogging thing since “the annointed one” was just runnin’ for office. A bit before that actually, but really kickin’ off around the time He and McStain ‘joined forces’ to correct what should have been left to its own devices. (the 2008 meltdown if you’re scratchin’ your head.)
Been dunno how many words published by me on this and two other sites, and dunno how many more have been round-filed before ever seeing the other side of my publish buttons.
And here is a blast from the past of August 2011. I hadn’t made the rounds of Texas or Indiana then, didn’t have any fourfeets cluttering me up, and was still bouncing like a pinball after a rather sedate (in hindsight) split up three years prior (almost to the day of this linked post,, whoa!) (note, as old as the article is, links likely are broken, or the original site linked has been plowed under for new construction.)
and if ya don’t wanna RTWT, just a snippet of it so you understand why I say, been there said that.
My issue revolves around the fact that “Stupidity” more often than not, is just plain ignorance. Ignorance is more of a choice than a standard. Some don’t realize they are ignorant and that is rather sad. Some DO understand that and choose not to correct the situation: THAT is stupidity. Ignorance is curable, but the victim has to want the cure or any efforts outside of that person are wasted. I choose the word ‘Victim’ since many of the ignorant grouping are simple products of Government controlled indoctrinations.
And I am preaching to the choir on that note. We all know this.
Yes, there are many in this world that fall in the “Ignorant/Stupid” class and it is entirely by design. There are those that only want more power and control. Shallowly taught persons are perfect to lead around with fear and intimidation. It is those that are aware of the facts, that are difficult and dangerous. (Hence, why ‘patriots’ and ‘Preppers’ are considered “Terrorists”.) And if you can encourage breeding enmasse (through subsidies to livelihood) your voting base grows exponentially, equating to even more power and control.
Funny how I was so naive enough to think they wouldn’t steal elections,,,, but the words still hold weight in this world. NOTHING CHANGED COURSE over the last 11 years since I wrote that. Its only accelerated. And that is why I sometimes don’t want to write ANYTHING at all unless it deals with my passions of living my life by my terms, mostly known as kayaking these days. (that isn’t ALL I do, but its the one I am willing to share publicly that won’t have me labeled as “dangerous” (note, Armed and dangerous is not as bad as simple dangerous. Its reverse psychology to use those terms like that, to keep the sheep from freaking out. ). And I already know that when they come for me, it will be with all the bells and whistles because of my EOD background. There will be no ‘go quietly’ and I apologize to my neighbors in advance for the busted windows or knocked down structures,,, If they would just leave us alone,,,,
But they won’t. They plan on stealing this (s)election cycle and are telling us HOW they are goning to do it. DO get out your vote, make sure they KNOW we are much bigger than they, shock them to the core with our turnout,,
And when they do ‘flip’ the counts, as we know they will, (they are telling us so) ,,,,
The die has been cast, thats all I can say, and what happens next,
I worry,
“I worry”
In today’s times, we ALL worry Bro. At least we do if we have more than a couple of active brain cells and can see reality. Of course, that leaves out 80 – 90% of folk. Bummer, but there it is.
I’ve been at this kinda po-litical stuff since 1980, and like you, I realize that ‘stupidity’ can’t be fixed (not without some serious upset, anyway), but ignorance most certainly can – it’s up to the end user. The knowledge is certainly out there. Also – had my ‘naive’ years, too, and I understand where yer comin’ from. It’s a constant fight.
Y’all take care,
Mike.

Yeah , stupidity cannot be fixed.
Yet it has been shown , that ignorance certainly can be cultivated.
