CNN Had an 8 Hour Long Panel on Hate!!! I spent my Saturday carefully giving my dog his summer cut.. I don't have TV. I own a television, but there are no TV channels. Trust me, this helps in the battle. But my friend does, and he was going nuts yesterday and had to call. He started to rant about how there are two different worlds out there. Fox was showing the Trump rally, and Don Limon had a hate panel all about hate crimes and white supremacists. I don't know, but he claimed it had been nonstop talk for 8 hours about White Supremacy and white hate. Maybe it all goes back to War of the Worlds and everyone believing Orson Welles 'prank.' If you hear it, it must be true. But I saw this historical happening as the opposite truth--that people are gullible, prone to panic. There is a reason why Chicken Little illustrates a moral.  When it comes to race hate, they have a lot of whites believing it is true. I run into them from time to time, and they like to insert it into the conversation. At first I kind of laughed about it, shocked in a way--I had never fully understood the old joke about the self-loathing jew, but now I seem to run into the self-loathing white fairly often. But they are never conservatives. Conservatives are accepting, more open and genuinely more authentic. Libs these days seem programmed. It should be perfectly obvious, and yet. It does seem to me that what they illustrate is racism. They want to hate a group of people, and blame them for all their problems and all the ills in the world. This is very dangerous thinking indeed, and why I have always been very leery of groups, group identity and propaganda. Never have I felt such a great desire to wave the Don't Tread on Me flag. I can respect all your rights and all your differing opinions, but the respect has to be mutual. This balance has been disturbed for a long long time. Now they are attempting to pound this narrative into us. They will, if we let them, define us as haters. The libs are convinced that we are the bogeymen out there. That we are the haters. We know this is not true. We fight the narrative calmly. Through logos, not anger. We do not accept the narrative because we are not Chicken Little. We prevail by living an authentic life. We unite. We are not deterred by the carrot dangled in front of us--'look here not there'.  Don't start an argument where you are trying to disprove a negative. Be strong. Be Best.
