In the recent past I’ve received emails indicating sites that are almost universally used for “fact checking” might have alliances with one political affiliate or another.  This actually took me a little by surprise (call me naïve).  I’ve used these fact checker sites for some time now and have pretty much trusted what they have to say.  But, do they have political agenda’s?  What agendas do they have?  What alliances?  Who pays their bills?…

The truth is we can spiral completely out of control with conspiracy theories.  Everything from fact checking sites to how it works sites, for example, what if you wanted to know how a green technology worked, but the site has an agenda to keep simple energy producing product capability from the general public to reduce their risk and increase their ROI?  Why not?  And don’t stop there.  There are millions of conspiracy theories available to the rabid imagination.  Some are real, some may not be.

The point is, don’t be a sheep.  I’m not saying that if you have a good, unbiased source of information to completely discount it.  What I am saying is, don’t be lazy.  Do your own homework and make your own educated decisions based on facts not conjecture.  Not everyone was intended to be a leader, but we all have the God given right and ability to think for ourselves and not let others think for us.

I’m working with conservatives locally and on some of my own idealistic pursuits, could you guys sound off to let me know some of the things you’re doing that I might can push locally as well that maybe I haven’t thought of yet?  Ideas would be appreciated.

I want to help people to become independent.  That’s all.  I’ve worked for years now in an attempt to develop systems that reduce public energy use or make households autonomous to themselves.  I’ve met with state and federal DOE boards, pursued funding and grants and work to make this a better place.  (I know it sounds corny)

I truly believe we as Americans really don’t have much voice any more and I think becoming individually independent as much as is possible is the first real step in doing that.

No, I’m not an extreme environmentalist or anything like that, I just believe we’re smarter than we give ourselves credit for.

That’s where I start.

Is it just me?

I don’t understand how things work anymore.  Two NFL players convicted, one of animal cruelty, the other of shooting himself, and they go to prison.  Ok, fine.  What about the hundreds of murderers, rapists, molesters, theives and who knows what else that keep bouncing off the system?  We seem to have fallen victim to a rash of double standards in this country.  I still believe we live in the greatest country in the world (no offense, that’s how I feel).  But what is happening to us?

Our president is mired in controversy from racism to radicalism to homosexuality to nationality.  I mean, for real?  I didn’t vote for the man, but honestly thought a fresh face with fresh ideals might be stepping in to take the reigns.  Boy, was I wrong!! 

They write a bill to reform healthcare, and don’t include tort reform.  they write a bill to limit or deny the rights of gun owners.  They release the GB detainees that are there for combat related occurances against American GI’s or Nato GI’s, oh and now the detainees want to sue the US Government.  BIG SURPRISE!

The CIA is under investigation for the methods they use to gather information from those trying to kill Americans.

Here’s an idea, why don’t we just line up all the red blooded American patriots that are left, strip them naked, cover them in molasses, stick them in fireants up to the knee, tie their hands and tell them to defend themselves by using pencil we put between their teeth.

It use to be that Americans were proud, thoughtful, caring, inventive, innovative, moralistic people.  ALL RACES!!  Now, we’re sheeple.  you know, half sheep, half people.  It’s enough to make me want to defect, but oh yeah, there’s no where to defect to.  Most of them are where we’re headed.
