Oklahoma, like Texas, is the heart of conservative Christian
thought. People mimic what they learn from our conservative
newspaper without a single thought that the news is distorted.
When did people lose the power of critical thinking? It
reminds me of the woman on medicare who said she didn't want
the Affordable Health Care act because she didn't want the
government messing in her health care. Evidently she failed
to realize that Medicare is a government program.
The worship of wealth and celebrity seem to be pervasive, no
matter how obnoxious the behavior. It seems clear to me
that if you are poverty stricken, then you would want to
vote for the party that would limit your taxes and impose
a harsher tax on the wealthy. An insurance program that
allows you to be insured even if you have a pre-existing
condition would be desirable. Social programs are dismissed
as frivolous by those that need them most.
They watch Fox news and Rush Limbaugh and swallow it whole.
I am so disgusted with the political climate in Oklahoma.
