Republican party is turning into a cult.

Why do they defend lies without questioning them? Sincere ignorance is so dangerous. I don't care what you believe as long as you see every side of the issue, and actually try to understand the reality of the situation. No, there are no death panals. No, Obama was born in Hawaii.

I know where this fanaticism derives from: 'faith.' Don't get me wrong. I have strong faith in certain things. Intangible things. And no, I don't look down on people who have strong religious ideals. I say I'm very spiritual myself. However, when young people are taught from a young age to have good 'faith,' or a belief without any evidence to back it up, and then percolates into political views and contaminates the rational. Though having faith is a very noble cause, but don't let it be the only form of your beliefs, and don't let it cloud your judgement.

Stay open minded, and resourceful. Oh yah, it is not okay to wish death on Obama. That's why the right side of America is turning into a cult, because Obama's death threats have gone up some 500% or some shit. Cut that out. Give Obama credit for his courage. I pray for his safety.

” It does not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life-daily and hourly. Our answer must consist, not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual.” -Victor Frankl
