We truly live in a world that possesses closed minded individuals who in some way, shape, or form lack diversity and are self-indulged in their own prejudice. It doesn’t necessarily have to be in terms of race. I believe it to be a built-in mechanism that to some degree exists and functions within all of us. That mechanism preys on our fear of change.
In 2008 when Senator Barack Obama ran for President of the United States of America is when it truly began. That mechanism kicked in. Why did it kick in? Well, folks… Each of you will decide on your own reasons, together we can only speculate. I cannot nor will I attempt to drill an opinion in to your heads. You are all free willed and have the ability to exercise independent thought. This mechanism that I speak of; what exactly has it done? It has tapped that nerve ending in all of us that has put us in fear mode. That fear of change. That which is the crippling fear that only serves to prevent growth in maturity for those who lack it the most. It is the one and the same that would either have us be closed minded to having a President of a different ethnicity than all those we have had prior. Another thought is that the fear could’ve crippled some at the very sight of his name; Barack Hussein Obama.
The instant that name hit the press, this pumped premium gas into the vehicle that we know to be the conspiracy theory. Conspiracy theorists all over the country were sure that was an attempt to plant a Middle Eastern spy at the heart of the United States and worsen an already catastrophic economic situation. As to whether or not this lunacy has been laid to rest is questionable. I must say that I haven’t heard about it much after President Obama was sworn into office.
That is not all though, the vehicle that drives conspiracy theories never parks… I now bring you to the present day which we need no introduction to.
The question of Obama’s birth certificate brought to you by Donald Trump himself. I thought Trump had better things to do than this. Like firing people, claiming bankruptcy every other day or whatever he does to manipulate his personal and business finances.
It seems not. Trump has announced interest in his candidacy for President of the United States of America. Does that mean that we would become the United States of Trump? Erie thought, right? What a way to begin his tirade period by beginning a smear campaign against his would be chief opponent.
For weeks now, I have watched the endless idiocy of those who believe that President Obama was not a citizen of the United States.
I have to give a special mention to Anderson Cooper and his team of investigators of 360 on CNN for giving credible evidence to the public. The situation was getting out of control. Despite Cooper’s attempts to offer validity to the live birth document given by the State of Hawaii in lieu of a copy of the original birth certificate, the nay-sayers continued their pointless crusade.
Trump endlessly pointed out money that he claims was spent to cover up a document that was finally released yesterday. Trump gave no credence to Cooper’s investigation which made his own arguments about the issue lose serious credibility. I must say that Cooper gives credibility to the word term that many of us thought dead, journalism.
This is what I mean by the growing idiocy of those Americans out there who have disguise themselves as conservatives who wish our country well. Rather than further the intellect of Americans, they’ve succeeded in making themselves look like old, fat and inflexible morons. I do mean the same kind of moron that would closely identify with Archie Bunker.
To Donald Trump: It was Plato who said, “Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools because they have to say something.”
I’m afraid saying you appear as the latter makes perfect sense.
