I have oficially given up on getting the truth. It isn’t going to happen. Nobody has the slightest curiosity on our side of the aisle.

They just react to the media and hope it will all go away soon.

I can’t stand to listrn to any of these democrats or that jug eared phony.

Tonight I will probably take some sleep aid and go to bed so I don’t get curious as to what crap might be going on.

Face it, Obama will continue these lawsuits behind our backs until he gathers all he needs to take away any freedom we have left.

And it will be happening while everyone is going “what the hell”? But then it will be too late.

This judge and his death was key to all of this, but it got lost in the helter skelter of a manufactured so called national crisis.

I took a long nap this afternoon, feeling the same way. That was after having a long discussion with my husband, wondering whether resistance is futile on any of this stuff. Not because of Obama and his thugs, but because of the huge number of sleeping Americans who think it is too “conspiratorial” to ask legitimate questions and expect answers that stand up to scrutiny.

Did you know that ready.gov has a public service announcement to prepare people for the earth’s magnetic core reversing? At least that is what somebody said it was about and what it seems to be about; I can’t see video on my computer so I can’t say for sure. If a person talked about weird effects from a reversal of the earth’s magnetic core they would be called nuts - “conspiracy theorists” - but there’s a PSA about it at ready.gov.

We are so afraid of being called a “conspiracy theorist” that we won’t touch things with a 10-foot pole unless it’s on the alphabet networks - regardless of what facts or evidence there is. This self-censorship is dangerous. If we have defined conspiracies out of possibility we have groomed ourselves for a big-time conspiracy, because we will never allow ourselves to believe it even if it’s staring us in the face.

And this refusal to scrutinize public officials and the contradictory “facts” they give is dangerous too. It means that we have given up on an epistemology based on logic, reason, and evidence, and gone on to the post-modern idea that we can each make up our own facts. Dangerous, dangerous territory.

It’s good to hear that folks like Megyn Kelly are confronting Sheriff Dupnik on what facts he has to connect the shooting to political rhetoric. Now if somebody would confront him with the ever-changing “facts” he and the FBI are claiming, or ask for clarification of the seeming discrepancies, I’d have some hope that the investigation will be held accountable to facts at least.
