Stop blocking, deleting, protesting and start openly speaking

The US has degraded into a childlike argument where instead of discussing openly the views you may have, you yell, scream, break things or all out boycott or delete them. We don't discuss anymore, which was the cornerstone of what made this Country great, instead we threaten and we bully. Take the latest show of lack of adulthood with "PewDiePie", a person on YouTube who posted what was labeled a "anti-Semitic" joke. Instead of leaving the account alone and allowing dialogue, YouTube bowed to public pressure (aka lynch-mob tactics) and deleted the individuals account. This is also know as silencing them.

This was just the latest example of progressive limitations of free speech. If you don't agree, you delete. That is the American motto now. If you find something offensive, you don't discuss calmly opposing opinions and bullet points, you respond entirely with emotion and fear. America today resembles a 3rd graders fight at a park. Lots of yelling and over-reacting, little listening but lots of emotion.

Those that consider themselves liberal and progressive, should realize their tactics are in actuality fascist and oppressive. Believe it or not, people can say what they want - even if you disagree or believe society should disagree. This continued blocking and dismissing of free speech will in fact be the downfall of America.

Fox News or CNN?

Ah, Fox and CNN. Where to start. Each one has its own bias. I was, for a very very long time an avid CNN viewer, literally the TV would be on CNN when I got home from work and stay there. Until the 2008 elections. I could not believe how much CNN backed the Democratic party. Almost to a point of annoyance. For every on RNC member on a panel there would be 2 DNC, usually one black man and one woman. The RNC person was almost always a white male. What I couldn't believe was the entire lack of respect for the opposing candidates on the Republican side. Now before you go "damn right-wing Republican" understand these FACTS: - Member of the Democratic Party - Libertarian - NRA Life Member What does that equal? Me. Not a single word up there said Republican. In fact, I've never voted for a presidential republican candidate. Maybe my lack of line loyalty allows me to have an open mind where others seen inherently sheltered. I have very strict guidelines for leaders; 1) be hon...
