| I tried to watch the news on #CNN last evening and after a short while I had to turn it off in disgust. One of their nonsense Breaking News blurbs was about sixteen state governors who have slammed the door on Syrian refugees and will not allow them in their state. What kind of special stupid is this nonsense? Not one of these blathering talking heads bothered to mention that state governors have absolutely no authority over immigration law. Even more to the point; how are these fools going to enforce this fresh bullshit? Are they going to station cops at all state border crossings? And how will they know a Syrian refugee from any other person on the road? Do they think these people will be wearing Country of Origin stickers or something? This flaming insanity is bad enough among the more ignorant of our population but when national news media blares this crap as if it can be the truth it only inflames the stupid among us. I am so sick of fear mongering and hysteria as a daily staple of our information providers. Instead of informing people of the reality of the world they spew this crap 24 / 7 when they should be setting the record straight. |
