Liberty For All

by Rusty White

How is it that Americans have become so easily manipulated?? Have we forgotten the manipulation and lies our government and MEDIA used in the propagandist film Reefer Madness? While it is truly sad to see these two young people in Texas make such a stupid mistake, it is equally as sad to see the media use it for propaganda. How is this any different than when elders give a young person a beer, or a when a person puts alcohol in a bottle to get a kid to go to sleep? All are wrong, yet you don’t hear anybody asking for the same punishment. Why?

Have our people been manipulated so badly that they actually believe these two toddlers are now addicts? How is it that no one asks the question: If the drug war is remotely working, the longest and most expensive war ever, a war against our own people, how is it we still see horror stories like these and large drug busts over and over again? How come the need for resources continues going up instead of down as common sense would dictate?

How is it we have so many claiming to be of faith, wrongfully claiming to be acting with the Almighty’s blessing to rip a family a part for abusing his gift to all mankind? Do these young people need punishment? Yes. Just like those who use this sad event to justify their self-serving agendas do! It is a sad day for freedom and a nation that claims to protect people’s right to free will, when one group of people can claim to have the right to force others to live as they see fit!

Using this manipulated hype, if a young person gives a toddler a beer. Then all beer drinkers are bad people, I call BS! If a young person lets a toddler drive in his lap, then all drivers are bad, and we need to get rid of all the cars! But no, this is the “Devil’s Weed” and it is to blame for this! You might want to remember who created this gift to all mankind, and check out Genesis chapter 1 verse 29 thru 31.

We had a prime opportunity to use this information for real education as to the dangers of underage drug use. But no, the media turns on the hype machine and throws logic and common sense away replacing it with self-serving agendas and propaganda. Why? We let self-serving bigots manipulated by their bias, fear and hate tear another family apart. We have people so full of fear they want to give these two young people more time than a child molester gets???

Wake up people! Refuse to be manipulated and controlled by fear and hate! Educate yourself with the truth and start asking why. It is my belief that we as a nation and a people started going wrong when we started accepting the despicable and un-American act of people not minding their own business! When we started accepting false religious bigots who cover their hate, their biased and self-serving agendas with false faith. Those falsely justifying their fear, bias and hate and those manipulating the masses doing the same will one day stand before the same Almighty that created this gift to all mankind, that was manipulated in to a weapon to tear his flock apart. Fact: I would hate to be in your shoes! Which one will come out better, the one who used his gift and harmed no one and is willing to accept his judgment? Or those who have falsely claimed sole ownership of his gift and turned it into a weapon to tear his flock apart???

When did Americans become so full of fear that they cowardly let their faith be manipulated into being used as a weapon against others while remaining silent??? And some still wonder why our people are turning away from faith, could it be there is very little true faith being practiced and they don’t want to be a part of a LIE???  Fear is neither an American trait nor value, nor is it justification for abusing our faith or our own people and our freedoms and rights! There Has To Be A Better Way!!!!
