So shoot me

Let’s be real here, folks, and come clean with the simple truth: nobody seems to give a damn about their “constitutional rights” until someone comes along and threatens their own personal view on exactly what rights they are entitled to. And yes, I state this due to the absolutely ludicrous amount of incorrect information that’s being force-fed the American people by ... well, it doesn’t matter who’s to blame. Conservative media, liberal media, call it what you will. If they can find a way to spin a topic – any topic – to advantage and a boost in ratings, that’s exactly what they’ll do.

That’s why they’re still in business. And let’s be honest, you will keep watching, won’t you?

By “they,” of course, I mean the 24-hour news networks behind the two-sided political juggernaut that is the divided America we’ve come to know and love in the 21st century. Let’s just say people have short memories, apparently, because the last time I checked, it wasn’t all that long ago that women didn’t have the right to vote – nor African Americans – and don’t forget the fact that it took decades after that for same-sex couples to receive fair treatment under our Constitution.

Oh wait, we’re still waiting for that third one, aren’t we?
