One Plus One Equals Enough.

       Rep. Steve Scalise was severely wounded by a crazed man while practicing for a baseball game with Democrats. It makes the second time a United States Congressman was shot by a crazed man. Rep. Gabby Gifford was shot several years ago, you many remember. One Republican, one Democrat. Now is the time to stop and reflect on whether or not the rhetoric of the recent past is a wise course of action. The vitriol that emanates from politicians of all stripes is bad enough, but the stories coming from Cable News outlets is astounding in their dislike for the "OTHER" party.
       Lies abound, pure hatred is easily seen in the commentary. Do we really need this level of indecency? Is it really helpful to either party? No. What it is for the Cable News outlets is M.O.N.E.Y. When they speak those dangerous lies about their opponents it brings out the worst in the listeners, who are happy to carry on the hatred of the other side.
       It all causes our civil discourse to disappear. But it does make for a ton of profits for the likes of CNN, FOX and MSNBC. Freedom of speech is basic to our freedom. Cable news understands this and uses it to spread their venom. And far too many people only listen to that news report that agrees with their choice of party affiliation.
       And there's the real problem We the People allow ourselves to be lied to and think its the truth.
Well folks, it ain't the truth. If you don't watch and listen to both sides of every issue, you are not getting the truth. And therefore you're reacting with your own lies. Now we've had one Democrat Congressman and one Republican Congressman severely wounded by gunfire. It'd be nice if that was the last.
