Days Gone By - Leave Them Be!

Night riders, Sons of the Confederacy, Ku Klux Klan, and others are just few of the reminders of hatred and the use of fear at its best to keep minorities in place. Horrible deaths towards blacks were accepted or were not even considered illegal because blacks were considered animals or second class citizens. Catholics and Jews were a little better off because many of them around these thugs denounced their religions and/or changed their names to be accepted among the supremacists. They didn’t have to change their skin color to be recognized. These techniques worked and state rights were held sovereign. Those people were determined to maintain the status quo, keep things as they are and vowed never to change. Look around you and you can see that there are still those unwilling to change and accept peace. They miss those old days where they had power and everyone knew their place. Well, those days are gone and believe me they will never come back! Media personalities, politicians are hiding behind their podiums secretly supporting these hate filled mongrels. They are closet racists because they are afraid to admit who they really are. They are outnumbers by peaceful human beings and know that their fate is cancerous and only destroying themselves. So now they are vowing to destroy what is good for the country, making their last stand, while enticing the gullible to follow them into oblivion, but at the same time making an excuse that they are doing what is right for the people. These fake politicians are doing only what is good for them and using others. We see that they are not interested in civility, decorum, or respect. Rush Limbaugh wants to wipe out the peaceful folk because he has a radio platform to reach the undecided. If he didn’t have that who would Rush Limbaugh be? Peace does come at a price. While we are fighting against each other here in the United States for equal opportunities, our soldiers, men and women, are dying abroad. The freedom we once held so dear is also a barrier that is beginning to surround us.  When will we ever learn that being insensitive and oblivious to our fellowman’s plight will eventually affect us?  Horace Mann once said, ""Ignorance breeds monsters to fill up the vacancies of the soul that are unoccupied by the verities of knowledge."  Education is so important to progress without it, you won't be able to determine rationally who's right or wrong.  John Avion a writer for The Daily Beast said, "We are playing with dynamite by demonizing our president and dividing the United States in the process. What might be good for ratings is bad for the country."  Too many of us can't see that someone is making a ton of money off of others and calling it news rather than it's true name, entertainment.  Pray for our President, leaders, country, each other and ourselves!
