The other day I got a notification that one of the people I sometimes communicate with on one of those social media places posted something. So I checked it out. This person is a far-lefty, an anti-Trumper, and I like reading what he has to say. I like reading it and I like seeing what he posts not because I agree with most of it, not because I disagree with most of it, but because it always gives me reason to wonder.
And wonder I do!
Before I go any further, I want to go on record for saying that if it weren’t for running my blog, I wouldn’t be on any social media except to communicate with distant family. Some of my distant family, and I find this funny, has stopped communicating with me because of some of my opinions.
Not only do I find this funny, but it also causes me to wonder.
And wonder I do!
This particular person who did the posting is a salesman. That’s how he makes his money, his livelihood. So I’m hoping this whole “virus” situation hasn’t hurt him economically, and if so, I hope not too much, and that brings me to say I truly feel for anyone and everyone being hurt financially by the situation, by the virus and the whole turn of events. I feel much less for the billionaires and multi-millionaires than I do for the regular people, and please, you know what I mean by the regular people. I don’t discriminate in my feelings by political affiliation, gender, religion or anything of that sort.
That said, this salesman is an accomplished and successful salesman. I’d be willing to bet that he is versed in sales techniques, and I’d also be willing to bet that at least sometimes he’s sold some people some things they really didn’t want or need or didn’t want to spend the money on. It kind of goes with the territory.
So I wonder: how could a successful, accomplished salesman, just a regular person, get sold hook, line and sinker on that left-wing doctrine he posted?
I wonder: doesn’t he, don’t any of them, think things through, think for themselves, examine the implications of what they’re advocating, examine the assumptions underlying it?
I wonder: do they honestly understand and believe what they’re saying? Do they ever look at or listen to the words coming out of their mouths and out of their would-be leaders? Do they ever look at their deeds? Their actions? Do they ever look at the videotapes of what their leaders have said and done in the past?
I wonder how anyone on any side could just take what that side says as gospel and go with it in its entirety.
To me, it’s mind-boggling.
I wonder: when and how did the lefties get the idea that their positions are the morally correct ones, that they stand on the moral high ground and anyone who opposes them is immoral, racist, sexist, and all the other “ists”?
I wonder: when and how did the lefties ever get the idea that they stand for all the people and anyone who can’t see it is ignorant?
I wonder: when and how did the lefties ever get the idea that they could speak their opinions freely and anyone expressing opposing opinions should be ostracized, demonized and even persecuted?
Oh yes. Especially in the Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, Al Sharpton, Pravda USA mainstream media era, I have many, many wonderings about our representatives and would-be leaders and about a free and fair press.
I wonder!
And wonder I do!
