they started it

 Now I get it. You shouldn't hate anyone. Okay, that having been established what are we going to do about it ? I guess we could call those that hate names, maybe even throw a few rocks at them. Well I guess we could just decide to silence them all ! It seems to me that is just what is being proposed by some these days. Amazingly I am hearing this from our supposed leaders. It's a war against hate.
 Meanwhile, in the real world folks like myself understand one thing. Some people don't like us or what we have to say. The topic is not so important, choose anything you like. Does that mean that they hate us ? Hate is a strong word don't you think ? A strong dislike sounds better. Maybe we should eliminate a strong dislike, you know, nip that hate stuff in the bud. Oh what a wonderful world it would be if, just like that, for no particular reason, everyone stopped hating each other.
 Well, it ain't gonna happen folks. You can not fight a war against hate. If you want to fight, hate is a necessary ingredient. I'm not fighting against you because I like you !! How stupid does that sound ? I just can't believe we have adults, grown people, some with college educations running around saying such stupid stuff. Stop the hate ! Yeah, stop the rain and the sun from rising in the East while you're at it. All you are accomplishing is fueling that hate further, can't you see that ? Of course you can't because your eyes are red with rage ! Rage is hate out of control. That is what fuels these " protests " and " counter protests." Just let the other side have their say. If you don't like what they are saying turn and walk away. If you have already decided even before they speak that you don't like it, don't go to the protest ! How hard is that to understand ?
 This is America where the voice of the people is heard at the polls. Yes, that is how it works here. Yeah there are times when you don't like the result. I hear that some strongly disapprove of the last candidate that won a major election. Guess what ? He still won and is still the president whether you like it or not. Why ? Because that is how it works in America !!!!!! Myself I am sick and tired of all these folks acting like children. I didn't get my way so I'm going to throw a tantrum. I will destroy everything I own to prove my point, to get that one thing. I will destroy everything in this quest because I didn't get my way. And I can do that because they started it. I hear that a lot too. They started it. Who started what is my question. The American people made their choice known at the polls. Is that what started this ? A change in the tide. That is what started this current fervor. The status quo has been altered, it isn't business as usual.
 Although my political views are well known to those of you that read my postings on a regular basis, that last statement is neither an endorsement for the current administration, or a lamentation for the loss of the former. I am merely pointing out what I see as a fact. A whole lot of people in high places are very nervous. I don't care what political party you affiliate with, if you're a politician in Washington today, you are nervous. This new sheriff is a bit trigger happy. Sounds to me like he wants to clean house. As to whether it is a good thing or not I leave to your own judgement. Again I'm just pointing out what I see. There are also a whole lot of American citizens just as nervous. Why ? Because this administration is using a word no one wants to hear, accountability. Hey, they started it, remember ? Now you are going to tell me I will be held to account for the loans I took out, I have to actually work to earn a living, and worse still, people hate me. Well we can't have any of that. That isn't how things were going before this last election. I don't want to grow up.
 I guess we can just start taking down statues that will distract everyone for a while. It'll make others mad too. Then we can blame them for starting it. Never mind about Muslim terrorists, never mind about government corruption, never mind about health care, forgot all of that stuff, it's the statues we need to worry about. Those statues are fueling hatred ! After one hundred twenty years or more they are finally having the desired effect. Well because it was a plot all along you know. And just who erected the majority of these statues ? Democrats. Who is saying they are so offensive ? Democrats. And what an insidious plot it was. The Democrats have now gotten the very people that they attempted to keep subjugated, and indeed are still trying to do so, to be the very people crying about being offended ! Ya gotta love it. And now the cry is stop the hate. The best way to do that is how ? Just tell the other side to shut up. Call them names. They started it ! Remember when you were a kid and your Mother would holler at you and say, what's going on here ? The answer, they stared it ! Is there a right and wrong ? Doesn't matter at all as long as they started it.
