A few days back, I had a conversation with a Republican zealot ! I must say, that it was not a pleasant experience. This individual is nice enough, when not discussing politics ! The individual, I had this conversation with, is a senior citizen, like myself. I`m afraid, what I learned is not easy to accept and deal with. Facts or voting records do not mean anything to these zealots ! In fact, I`m not sure where they get their information ? Although my my guess, would be Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, and Glenn Beck or maybe even, Bill O`Reilly. Now, We have some Democrats who are also zealots. These two (D)(R)zealots are not a good thing. Our country seems to be less caring and more callous than anytime in my life-time ! It seems that we do not care for those who are less fortunate, than ourselves. We seem to be taking the attitude that a famous French Queen had. When informed that the People have no Bread to Eat. She told her court, "Let Them Eat Cake"! In other words, she did`nt care ! When George H.W. Bush, was President, he said a most caring thing and phrase. He said, "We must become a more caring and gentle nation"! Somehow, we have not followed through. It seems that we have become a nation of intolerance and not caring at all ! After all, nobody helped me ! If someone disagrees with me/you, we are immediately enemy`s. We cannot disagree without being disagreeable. Our twenty-four hour T.V. News is not helping. We tend to watch those stations that espouse our views, and refrain from watching those who are not of our thinking. News, is rarely news anymore ! I have found a couple of sources that are still, the news ! Public Television and Public Radio ! They are the only real news stations around. Some of my Republican friends will even dispute that. They tend to believe that Public T.V. and Radio, should not be funded by Government. I find the opposite, Public Television and Public Radio tend to give both sides of the political news. Not only is that refreshing, it is almost unheard of. It would seem that most of us, get our political information from 30-60 second sound bites, that really tell us nothing ! He or She is a crook, and without any proof ! Millions are spent on these sound bites, so they must work. I, for one want to vote the issues that affect me and my situation. Seek the facts, not what your Pastor/Preacher thinks, not what the Tea Party Thinks, Not what the Party Boss`s Think. Seek the truth, it will be elusive, but, you can find it, if you try ! Oh, The man top left is Jim Hightower, He`s from Texas ! Surprised ?

> http://www.jimhightower.com/ <> He is an opposite from Limbaugh and Beck, you won`t find him on any radio stations in this area. That makes me lucky, I just don`t listen to Conservative Propaganda, as there is no alternative. "Stick a fork in Me, I`m Done" ! Click on his web-site and check him out !
