Evil or Idiots?

I'm coming to the conclusion that most of the people in the media and politics are either complete idiots or evil. The way they have convenient amnesia of things that occurred in the past is very annoying.

For example, I heard recently on the radio that a bunch of celebrities got together and made an ad that attempts to turn people against Trump, saying things like Trump is homophobic, against Muslims and Islam, etc. (See http://www.salon.com and http://www.cnn.com)The truth? Exactly the opposite. (See http://www.foxnews.com) Mark Stein, a British commentator, pointed out today on the radio that in actuality, most of the animosity against the LGBTQ community is caused by radical Islam. Remember the nightclub shootings? And do some research sometime and look how homosexuals and women are treated in the Arab countries. Read and listen to Trump's actual words, and you'll discover that the reason he wants to limit certain peoples from entering the United States is to make sure that no terrorists are amongst them. We have already seen how many crimes are being committed by illegal aliens.
I have nothing at all against immigration; our country was built upon it. My beloved ancestors, like Ebenezer Farnes who came from England in the 1860s, did a lot of good when he immigrated. But he did it right; he went through all the proper, legal channels to come into this country. I'm just against people sneaking in illegally, or lying to get in to commit their horrible crimes. Don't forget 9/11, for crying out loud. How can any true American disagree with this?

Another example is the politicians and the media's complete 360 degree flop on their view of the intelligence community. A decade ago, they were saying how stupid Bush was to believe the intelligence community about there being "Weapons of Mass Destruction" in Iraq and Afganistan, especially when, as they said, there appeared to be none. Yet now, in the wake of Hillary's email scandal, they talk about how important it is to listen to the FBI when they said there was no valid reason to charge Hillary with any wrong doing. In Mr. Stein's view, the intelligence community has become completely politicized, leaking information to the Democrats, etc.

Some people have said that I've obviously "drunk the Kool-Aide," as I'm a big listener of conservative commentators like Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck. I disagree, of course, I'm more of a fan of the truth, and I constantly seek it everywhere. I follow my gut and my feelings, as we all do, and I find very little truth in the drive-by media, and much more of it in what the conservative media are saying.
I don't mindlessly follow what they are saying, like some brainless zombie, as some of my friends and family members have said. I don't agree with everything Mr. Limbaugh and Mr. Beck are saying. I study things out in my mind. I research the stories they talk about. I pray about them, and decide for myself what I believe. If more people would do the same thing, I think we would be much better off.

OK, rant over. I've got a lot of interesting and mysterious stories coming up, so stay tuned!
