Religious Freedom

With all of the dust that's been kicked up over the "Religious Freedom" Law in Indiana, one question keeps coming to mind. Why are we as a country moving backwards? Yes, Religious Freedom was one of the core beliefs that this country was founded on, but we also spent over 100 years fighting for the proper civil rights of all Americans. For so many people to have fear of groups like ISIS, you would think that the Religious Freedom Law is something that deserves more of a scrutinized look by everyone in this country. Think about it this way, in the world we live in today it's very easy for like minded people to form their community and gain a say in things. The Tea Party Movement serves a perfect example of this, most of the people in that movement claim to want elected officials that only believe in their vision of what America should. And to make matters worse they painted themselves as a group that wanted nothing to do with diversity and logic. But they had such a strong following to where many elected officials lost to Tea Party Candidates, it would come out years later many of their own candidates were financially backed by some of the very people and corporations that they blamed for what has happened to America. That was just a political example, people have forgotten that at one point the KKK used Religious Freedom and it took years for them to get drowned out by progress, only to show lite resurgence in today's America. As a country if we are not careful these unrefined "Religious Freedom" laws will give segway to legalized discrimination, segregation and soon our own christian based version of ISIS.  

At the end of day we all should chill out and enjoy life!

Hello World!

Hi there reader,
After years of watching TV, reading blogs, and skimming through bad social media posts, I've decided to step out of my box and try making a blog. With one goal of poking at those thoughts of independence and free thinking we all have from time to time, while sneaking in some venting. There will be only a few subjects that will not be touched on this blog. So since I am at risk of ticking a few people off, for anybody reading this you are being warned. Let the poking begin!
