“Disinformation, my foot!<\/b>“.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

We have, in the larger framework of The American People<\/b>, one large portion with some particular opinions and another large portion with some varying particular opinions. <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

Both are passionate in their opinions and views.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

One group point, yells, declares the other side – an Enemy<\/span><\/i> … Dangerous .<\/i>.. Threat to Democracy<\/i>!<\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

What does that mean?<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

It means that ‘your’ opinion, i.e. the kind of Democracy YOU desire in this Country – is not the same vision or desire as the other group desires. The threat, each side to the other – is they<\/i> don’t get to steer the country in a way that suits their<\/i> vision<\/b> of <\/span>Democracy in this United States of America.<\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Add the Media which is zealously fueling it all with the same bias on both sides, and the country is in such a divide that if one’s opinion contrasts with the others’ opinion – name calling and opposition quickly rises to the level of one group is calling the other group ‘liars’ and professors of ‘Disinformation’!<\/span><\/b><\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Each group leveling headline accusations that people of ‘those’ opinions – are dangerous and unstable and they are spreading Dangerous Disinformation<\/span>.<\/o:p><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Hmm, I just had a smile … remember the ‘Disinformation Czar’? Early in this Presidents term … I remember. It was worthy of an old fashioned SNL salute! It was almost comedic … but it was a real thing!<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

What the hell is ‘disinformation’?<\/span><\/b> <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

These … are opinions<\/span><\/b>, not <\/span><\/i><\/b>lies, not disinformation.<\/span><\/i> Opinions. Even ‘Beliefs’. The debate is really about our opinion and belief of the future path of this great country.<\/span><\/b><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

Opinions, by the way, we are each entitled to hold and express; a freedom we are guaranteed in the Constitution of The United States of America.<\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

We are granted inalienable rights <\/span>– which I promise you –  <\/i>include the right to form and state our own<\/span><\/b> beliefs and opinions<\/b>.  Privately and Publically. <\/o:p><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Without fear of retribution<\/span><\/b>, I might add, even by any silly, local man-made laws who will bankrupt you if you disagree with the opinions of the powers that be – even make your opinions illegal. It is illegal to make opinions and beliefs illegal -… illegal by virtue of the highest law in the land.<\/b><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

This is a free country<\/span><\/b>.<\/span> It belongs to ALL the people – and not one political persuasion or another. The Constitution is the Law of The Land and it supersedes all other law.<\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And, an opinion is just that – an opinion –<\/span><\/b> a point of view<\/i><\/b> – and, even if half the country has the same opinion – <\/span>it’s still just an opinion<\/span><\/b> – no matter which opinion you have – and we are entitled, each man and each woman, by the US Constitution – to believe and speak freely on any matter<\/span>. <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

To have an opposing view, and work to persuade others, to win the minds and hearts of others … is not criminal, nor unconstitutional. <\/span>{It’s downright American!}<\/span> You can’t shut people up because you disagree with them.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

We’re talking about the free right to think and speak openly and publically<\/b><\/span> here – not <\/span><\/i>‘yelling fire in a crowded theater’ – the two are not related<\/i><\/b>.<\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Disinformation, my foot!<\/span><\/b><\/o:p><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n
