Failure to Exercise Freedom Does Not Mean You are Powerless.

No one likes to be told that they are the problem.  An immature spouse that is the reason for stress in the marriage experiences uncomfortable shame and embarrassment when they are chastised by their spouse. The same can be said for a bad employee and a child who is caught with the cookie jar before dinner.

However, it is clear that the problem in America is Americans. For decades many Americans have enjoyed the sport of ridicule and have used this negative attitude to justify their failure in being informed and involved.  The politicians do not respect you because you have shown them that they have no reason to respect you.

The agenda-driven liberal news can very easily yank your chain and get you barking.  Liberals in the news have no problem creating false realities.  There was no health care crisis in America.  The Iraq and Afghanistan wars were necessary and properly administered.  The problem was the members of liberal news making up problems and democratic politicians playing petty politics with the wars.

I am confident if the people in charge had been left alone to fight the war according to their expertise the members of the military would of met every challenge the enemy threw at them.   People in the American military are the best trained and most compassionate in the world.  They do not need petty politicians and petty liberal news members to tell them how to do their job.

However, day and night there were the democrats and liberal news members barking about all their perceived problems.  These petty people barked so much that the majority of Americans turned on President George W. Bush.  G.W. Bush had to fight against almost everyone in order to defend America against the great threat of Islamic terrorist.  This why non-conservative actions needed to be done by the president.  The president had to take in to account all attitudes and opinions and build a strategy to deal with everybody.

Therein lies the problem.  Many Americans are not smart enough to choose good leadership and smart enough to understand the big picture.  Even the so-called intellectuals of our society like Bill O’riely and Glen Beck suffer from limited intelligence.  Most talking heads have to please a large audience in order to keep their empire.

To please large audience you have to echo their ideology and philosophies.  Modern day attitude of most people is a very bad attitude.  In my assessment this attitude represents the “Everything Sucks.  Nothing works.  Why bother?” attitude.  Therefore, it is conceivable to suggest that they way to remain a media King of Hill in today’s world is to spend your efforts pointing your finger at everything you perceive is wrong with the world.  This is why people like John Stewart, Bill Maher, and Whoopi Goldberg get such a large audience.  They know how to give people what they want.

These actions by these talking heads poison people with bad attitudes.  Reasonable, rational, and sane logic no longer has any value.  In our modern world hating the person people in the media have told us to hate has more value than gold.  This hate leads to the pettiness of needing to win for the sake of winning.

Let me tell you why liberals are wrong. By promoting the use of public schools to pass out condoms and birth control pills and teaching the lifestyle of gay, lesbian, and transgender people you are interfering in the parents’ right to parent.  The healthy family is the force that maintains society.  In a healthy family a person learns emotional health, intellectual health, spiritual health, respect and adherence to man’s laws, respect and adherence to God’s laws, and civic responsibility. People with these attributes are societal stabilizers.

Therefore, liberals are promoting poor societal health. Healthy people are ambitious and use their wisdom to pursue their dreams. In the pursuit of their dreams and in accomplishing their dreams these healthy people contribute to a healthy economy with jobs, careers, and business opportunities for anyone who is willing to try.

These people also take care of what they have in life.  Citizens take care of America by being in informed and getting involved in all levels of their government. There is no need for government programs to help people in need. There is a great need for promoting the positive healthy attitude that drives people towards healthy personal success, which leads to markets, industries,  careers, jobs, and business opportunities.

The sins of conservatives are greater.  You elect people then walk away.  You only pay attention when something breaks.  There is nothing wrong with conservatism.  We should protect the family, life, society, Freedom, Liberty, and Independence.  Failure to control and manage elected officials is poor conservatism.

Now there is a lot of petty immaturity in all political neighborhoods.  This is the result of how people were raised.  Again, the modern philosophy is , “Everything sucks. Nothing works, Why Bother”.  Let me tell you that as long as this is the pervasive attitudes things will remain the same.

We are in charge of our lives.  No media element can force us to be negative.

We can use our ability to think, organize, plan, and act in the pursuit of our personal success.  Every goal we meet leads to greater confidence.  Greater confidence leads to better self-esteem.

Life will always be challenging.  There is no reason to be distressed or troubled.   The issues of our lives have to be answered.  We only cause ourselves pain and suffering when we fail to deal with what we need to deal with in our lives.

In addition, life does not have to be boring and monotonous.  We can our day pleasant and enjoyable with simple pleasures like music, books, good health food, walks, friends, family, etc.

When we feel good, we treat people better.  Treating people better, leads to the simple pleasures that come from solidarity, companionship, laughter, and emotional support, i.e. the pluses pf friendship.

Children are a simple pleasure.  Loving and caring fora child yields joy.  Just the mere act of looking unto to your children should give you joy.  You can also pal around with your child go to movies, and sports.  There is joy in seeing a child develop under your instruction.  The pride in your child’s accomplishments gives joy.

A marriage also yields simple pleasures.  You have someone to talk to and laugh with in life. Your spouse can comfort and inspire you. You can enjoy and share friends, family, music, books, recreation, and other entertainment.

See when we get good instruction about life, we become healthy and pursue our personal goals willingly and competently.  Each person’s personal success contributes to societal success by providing for markets and industries that offer jobs, careers, and business opportunities.

Therefore, the beginning is not a government program.  The beginning is a family. Healthy parents can teach their children spiritual, emotional, intellectual, and social skills that will lead to a positive, healthy, and realistic attitude which help the individual in always being prepared to handle the challenges of life.

These kinds of people are honest and have integrity.  They manage their personal and professional lives with integrity.  When in political office they do not pit one group against another and they are good stewards of the people’s money.  They value what they have by being informed and getting involved.

Therefore we are the solution.  We are the solution in our lives.  We are the solution in our society.  We are the solution in our countries.

JUST BECAUSE WE DO NOT USE OUR FREEDOM DOES MEAN WE ARE POWERLESS.

Mental Health, 2nd Fort Hood Shooter, and Student who stabbed school mates .

Okay, so I am listening to stupid Dough Stephen show.  Sir Dummy himself is reviewing the incident in the school where a student runs through the school stabbing people.  Mr. Stephen starts to comment on how the actions of the perpetrator look like the scenes of a horror movie where the movie bad guy starts to hack people up.

My initial reaction to such foolish thinking is anger.  I try to believe that I live in an educated and informed society. 

Again, violence in media is not the fuel for violence.  Being educated by a violent society such as a gang, a terrorist group, or culture where violence Is worshiped is the reason for some violence.  Till my last day I will continue to say that behavior is learned through interacting with other people.

In addition, there are people who through no fault of their own are led to violence because of the malfunction in their brain.  These people have brains that produce too much or too little neurotransmitters.

This imbalance leads to running thoughts, angst, anxiety, and/or depression.  The person wants these feelings to stop.  They try to make them stop.  The inability to make them stop leads to frustration and an increase in “running thoughts”, angst, anxiety, and depression, which leads to more pain and suffering.

When these people attack society they are lashing out at the feelings they cannot control out of a sense of trying to gain control.  Unfortunately, the idea that if they attack they will stop feeling the way they do enters in to their minds.

Now, a person who is constantly attacked by members of his society will eventually act violently.  The possibility exist that this person who attacked the people in this school was a victim of peer pressure abuse.  A thorough investigation will have to be conducted to ascertain the facts.

I can tell you that the behavior of the student perpetrator is the behavior of a person who has been struggling with his thoughts and emotions because of an imbalance in his brain chemistry.   I will say the same for the person who entered Fort Hood and attacked the people there, recently. A refusal for leave is not substantial reason for a reasonable, rational, well-adjusted person to take to violence.

It is also possible for stress itself to lead a person to appoint of believing that violence is necessary.  Unfortunately, most of us only know how to interpret failure as a negative.  This negative perception results in pain and some people attack to try to stop the pain.

I know that there will be some PhD who will go on about Schizophrenia.  Paranoid Schizophrenia may be part of the reason people attack other people.  However, Schizophrenia is the general category that the sub category Paranoid Schizophrenia is held under in science.

When a person is victimized by others that person can interpret every look from his or her abusers as indicating negative perceptions. These perceived insults by the abuser lead to pain in the victim.  The pain can grow to an extent that the suffering is too much for the person to handle.  At this point the victim of peer pressure abuse may act out violently.

The violence is a control mechanism employed to stop the pain and suffering.  Many people honestly believe that the people around them can see their rambling thoughts, angst, depression, and anxiety and believe that these people are laughing at them for being inferior.  

The perceived idea of ridicule results in pain.  Again, the pain grows.  Then the person attacks

Violent media is not part of social violence because violent media does not make people have a brain chemistry imbalance, make people feel pain from ridicule, is not responsible for human pain from failure, or responsible for mental health illness that comes from all forms of abuse.

People with mental health challenges and without mental health challenges are substantially exposed to violent media.  However, less than a 1% of 1% attacks members of their society.

Instead of obsessing on foolish ideas that are not validated by science, it would be better to focus on mental health. I know we can create affordable systems that can deal with the outcomes from all forms of abuse.  However, many people prefer to rant about nonsense mental health stereotypes.  This ranting does not help and makes things worse.

My last point is that people with brain chemistry imbalance are having a fierce inner struggle.  No one wants to suffer.  No one wants to feel like they do not have control over their thoughts and emotions.

Being threatened and feeling vulnerable leads people to attack. When we cannot control our thoughts and emotions, feel like we have no control, and/or have great pain and suffering we feel threatened and vulnerable, which means we will lash out to punish others and to defend ourselves.  I would call this paradigm maladaptive behaviors to normal life stressors.
