You prefer the share-the-wealth agenda like your divisive, race-obsessed, blame America, socialist hero Comrade Barry.

The current resident of the White House is an example of looking at WHO is speaking
before the information given is deemed truthful.


True, the old old saying about a broken clock is quite profound but these days,
there is much disinformation disguised as accurate information so you MUST examine
the source.

Chasing around guys like Freddie Gray make little sense

The dude was bad, don't fool yourself. The police should be arresting bad dudes.

Screw the source. People need to look at the facts, the best they can discover them. This means testing the limits, looking at both left, right, north, south and the middle.

Repeat after me.

“It doesn’t matter who says it.”

The only thing that matters is wether the claims are true or false. If true, the matter is settled, unless the person is ignorant and got lucky, doesn’t matter who he or she is. If false, then one can assume the person is ignorant or a liar, doesn’t matter who the person is. Too many think an ad hominem attack scores some kind of point when it is really just a way out of having to work a bit and check something out thoroughly.

If you yell fire
and there is no smoke,
I assume that it was a joke.
