What Is Up With Politics Today?

A twitter bird linked me to this article and all I could think was…people are messed up.  I mean really…killing someone because you don’t like someone.  And not just any someone but the person that was elected by a majority of your fellow citizens to lead the country.  Why? Because he looks different than you on the outside.  WTF is that? 

So now I’m going to tell a little story (I may have told before) that I use to tell my students who were all racist about anyone who might be Arabic.  If I skin you alive (love the imagery) and I skin them alive you know what differences I’ll find? None.  So look at what they do and what they say and base your opinions on them on that and not how they look. 

Now for the twits that want to hurt someone because of the way they look…what can I say that would change their minds?  Nothing because they obviously aren’t thinking rationally, which is a shame.
