Heroes, Bias, and Lies


I challenge the way people think of these things....

I challenge Trump's idea that McCain is not a hero.. because he got caught.
I challenge that because it's a bold.. out and out LIE. I challenge that as the mind game Trump's plays to justify himself. Because the truth is McCain is a hero ... because he got caught.

Heroes......for the most part... don't survive..... Yet, in our warped sense of a definition, enhance by Trump..to be a hero, one must survive.. But the death or destruction of hero, defines what a hero is..
A hero allows himself to be a potential victim for a greater good.

Trump is NO hero...Trump doesn't know what hero is. To Trump a hero is just a stupid person that allows himself to be a victim.. A true hero....WINS

For any Conservatives in their heart.. that's true and just...It's the writing on the wall that can Never be erased.. No matter how much "WHITE" wash you use..

The irony... is that with Trump.. Conservative can now become Heroes.
Just listen to John McCain, Jeff Flake, and Mark Sanford....True heroes of the Conservative movement.. People who are willing to sacrifice for the "greater" good.. Not a single one of them has sacrificed their Conservatism....they are sacrificing YOUR Conservatism
In a world full of bias and Lies... full of the self serving, and the self protecting.....Their TRUTH shines through....It's born from their life's experiences of mistakes, trials and errors, consequences, and self awareness.
They are not heroes, NOW.. because you fools have denied them....but they will be...
The irony again.......... That they are heroes....BECAUSE YOU HAVE DENIED THEM.......without that ...they couldn't be heroes.
Without that.. they would have NOTHING to sacrifice..

Plan and simple.. from the standpoint of people perspectives....
THE TRUTH IS BIASED...

From the normal sense of bias... It is a chosen perspective of the truth. Bias is trying to control the consequences of the truth.
For the most part the News Media is biased...What we need to determine is whether or not.....It is the Truth that just biased...or the control of the consequence from that truth that is biased.. Either way the News Media... DOESN'T LIE.

Trump Lies...and Lies beget Lies.....Republican Lie to themselves, then LIE to US... And when Fox News covers it up.. they LIE to US...... It's no longer bias.. It's no longer to control the outcome of the truth....It's to control the outcome of the LIE.

There aren't a lot of heroes in Washington these days. Almost everyone seems terrified of Trump's bullying and humiliating tactics and Trump knows it. How can he lead a country when nothing he says is based on the truth. His Fox interview this week on the White House lawn was embarrassing.. He is so incredibly arrogant and acting like such a 'big shot' that he just interrupts and can't even listen to a question or let anyone else finish a sentence. How such a horrible man can have such power or have one supporter left is a mystery.

Early on in the campaign racists and bigots who call themselves Patriots started to believe they will have a voice through Donald Trump. So according to Trump's base racism and bigotry override Patriotism now.

Disrespecting prisoners of war and Gold Star families is no problem for the hypocrites who demand respect for the flag at a ball game.

Saluting a North Korean general in a regime responsible for regular executions of North Koreans, and including Otto Warmbier is no problem either … they're in denial.

    Quoting  :

I wish everybody could learn it..

You DON'T have to agree to respect somebody
I, like you, disagree with them on some things...but here's the deal.. I now respect them...And in that regard... my disagreement can possibly come in second place.

I'm glad you picked on Sanford's "personal failings".. I tried to incorporate that into the blog.......We all have "personal failings"... what we do about it, and what we learn from it..says far more than those failings.
Sanford learned from his failings...Sanford got a lesson in what was important.

Do you think Trump will ever learn from his failings?

"Do you think Trump will ever learn from his feelings?'

I think that question is moot in the context of Trump's emotional pathology.....

I usually don't think about rhetoric questions.. I think almost all questions have multiple possible answers, and if not answers then other questions..so being rhetoric is not usually my things..

But in this case .. it made me laugh...

I know it's frustrating.. I know it's hard to accept the failure...but the failure isn't mine, the failure is US... We do what we can.. and accept what we can't do..

There is an activism to impeach Trump...As there was an activism about Hillary to "put her in jail".....that kind of activism doesn't go away.. no matter the result...
the activism to "punish" only leads to more punishment...

So like Sanford....we are put in the same position.. Our failure is not as important as what WE learn from it....what WE take from it that is important...what WE do about it...How we show future generations .. THE WAY

Punishment for failure.. doesn't work

If we CHOOSE to live in a world of ideals and morals....then it's pretty evident ...
THAT TRUMP DOESN'T MATTER... WE cannot fill the gap Trump is creating by punishing him.... because it's not a gap ....it's a void.... WE need to FILL THE VOID, not empty it...By doing.... what we're doing... we give validity to the invalid.

People who try and take more than they deserve..who think they deserve MORE.
Never get what they think they deserve.......But always only get...exactly what they do deserve.

If we CHOOSE to live in a world of ideals and morals...Then we must only promote those....Not punish those without them....or believe that anybody who disagrees with yours.... is without them.

Our country is NOT base on laws, or the Constitution... it's based on faith .. faith in people, faith in commonality...It's based on trust........We trust in these truths to be self evident..... not because they are MY truth but because...Ultimately, it's about OUR truths... Whatever.. OUR truths are..

We confuse the issues...in so doing.. I'm am astounded..at what we are setting up for future generations. We are reaping what we have sowed, And will continue to do so.. but you see..... that is what our generation has made, that is what our generation deserves....Those who wish to fight it, with disregard for all else. Can't change what we've have sowed. Can't change our failure...And, those who try to "save us" from ourselves...... destroy the seeds of our future generations.

Two people are having an argument....both believe they are right.. both are adamant, and will do whatever it takes.....since the argument are opposing.... one is correct and the other is mistaken.

How can we tell which one is correct?

If you're biased to either side....Then you will shoot down the other side.
But let's assume you're not biased.. how can you tell?
let's, again assume that to YOU the evidence is equal on each side...

It's about the HOW they go about it...

The one that is mistaken.....has to be right.....has to CONVINCE you they're right.. because in their mind that's what makes them right.
The one that's correct.....The one that knows they are right..doesn't have to convince you of anything.

It was Father's Day yesterday...and I was talking to both my sons, at different times, it was the same subject.....But before i go there... let me say what I said to my brother.. we we're talking about our kids and what they were going to do for Father's Day.....My brother was looking forward to that respect from his kids....I told him... I didn't need it.....I told him, I know my kids are just like me..I trust that they are thinking of me... as i am thinking of them...What I do about it..well I'm not so good at the doing...and I trust them.. even If they are not so good at the doing either.
Anyway.. my point. was going to be ...how difficult it is to show them the way...How we can get across to them... that we don't want our mistakes.. to be their mistakes.. That doesn't work so good.... When you're talking about mistakes. The positives things work a lot better..

It seems. our kids are per-conditioned to make the same "mistakes" we make. Talk doesn't change that..
