Lured by Fox News

I always knew if Fox News was permitted to get away with it, without being exposed, our society would have had it.

Fox News, the Voice that Destroyed America

Fox News has been softening us up for fascist totalitarianism for a quarter of a century now. They’ve left the American electorate punch-drunk.

The Fox News “journalistic principle” is a simple one: everything the Democrats do is wrong, and nothing the Republicans do is wrong (even when it's the same thing).

Listen for when Fox News spokesmodels utter the phrase, "Some say." It will be followed by whatever propaganda lie they have been instructed to push today.

It is news media misinformation, spearheaded by Fox News, that has done the country in.

For Pete's Sake, Not Another Damn Rapture!

This must be the 57th Rapture I've been through.

Sigh. Just Sigh.

A road sign on the path to the slow, agonzing death of critical thinking in this country.

Kenshō — a Japanese Zen Buddhist term meaning “seeing nature” or “true essence” — refers to an initial, sudden glimpse or insight into one’s true nature, ultimate reality or the absolute. The experience is a temporary psychological state, a moment of awakening that signifies a fundamental shift in perception and understanding of oneself in the world. Kenshō is said to be not full enlightenment, but rather a critical first awakening that serves as a starting point for further training and integration of this understanding into daily life. “Kenshō” is often used interchangeably with “satori.”

So Shall Ye Reap

And empathy is, of course, the basis of morality.

Btw, it isn't “assassination culture” at work here, Washington Post headline writers. 

It’s gun culture.

In other news, we've had 46 school shootings so far this year in the U.S.

Oh, wait, that's not news any more, is it? Too common.

As Jim McNutt observed, “I see a lot of outrage over a shooting today. Where are your posts asking for prayers for the kids murdered in school today? Oh yeah, I forgot, that's just ‘the cost of the 2nd amendment.’”

Access to guns everywhere at all times now gives Americans the freedom to murder each other over political crack-pottery, childhood curiosity, too many drinks at the bar, not getting laid enough and the last parking space. The color of freedom is innocent red, and you can see it swirling down the street gutters.
