KNOWING ALARMING FACTS DOES NOT NECESSARILY OFFER SOLUTIONS

Arkansas is trying to prevent abortions and wants to adopt the ultrasound wands into the vagina.  We learn that  the Senator in the State was bank-rolled by corporations which included Verizon, and also a large grant by the Koch Brothers, among others.

One commentator admitted that, while Hillary Clinton was laughed at when she spoke of a big right wing conspiracy against her husband, she is finally vindicated as having spoken the truth.

The Teaparty speaks of wanting to 'take back our government'. Do they realize they are speaking treason?  Not accepting the duly elected government and threatening action to abolish it is, I believe, a treasonous threat  the militias are well armed and ready to proceed.  Why is it we elect candidates who we believe are best qualified to do their job then try to tell them how to do it?  Why do people think that their opinions, though permitted to be expressed freely, should be followed?

It is my belief that the Koch brothers are not interested in the good of the country and have been plotting to get their own way though an idiot could see that their way would bankrupt the country and lead to a total chaos.  Imagine that a mensch like Ed Koch has a name with the same spelling (though they pronounce it differently) and the two evil brothers.

Even though we are supposed to keep religion out of our politics, religious institutions are violating this.  I would like to see all religious institutions that try to control laws and demand that they are not obeyed ( as with abortion), be turned into corporations subject to all the costs of any corporation.if they refuse to allowing their congregations their own right to choose how much they wish to follow the demands of their religion. All this nonsense is taking place despite the overwhelming majority of the country wanting Roe v Wade to continue to be the law of the land, for example..

Why doesn't the Tea Party realize that they speak treason when they say "take back our government"? The reason is that this phrase is, in and of itself, not treasonous, and in fact has been used as a political slogan many times. In 2006, Democrats including then Senator Barack Obama put together a committee to help win back congress. That committee took the name "Take Back America". I doubt you would label this treason.

Are the Koch brothers hatching a plot that would bankrupt the country and result in total chaos. This extraordinary claim should be backed up with extraordinary evidence, but all this post provides to back up this claim is that it is your belief. This reminds me of an Oxford professor who used the admonish his students that they have no more right to hold a belief without a reason for that belief than they have a right to a pint of ale without paying for it. Please take this professor's admonition to heart.
