WEBCommentary(tm) - Are your political opinions your own?

Anything new can be difficult to accept, being that it runs contrary to existing, comfortable beliefs that people are invested in. So I ask you to help me, dear reader, by loosening your hold on those beliefs. You might even ask yourself if your beliefs are really your own or have they been trustingly accepted or installed by others? The only way to know is to question and objectively verify them and submit the beliefs to reality checks on a regular basis. Here is simple test to see if your thoughts about Politics are completely your own:

Do you believe that anyone of a differing Political persuasion is a villain, corrupt or, at the very least, worthy of a sneer? Do you believe you cannot be friends and must avoid them? Do you listen only to media or friends that agree with your beliefs?

If you are a Democrat do you believe any of these pre-conceptions about Republicans? They’re all arrogant, ignorant, religious fanatics who think they know it all and will try to control us if we don’t resist them tooth and nail (and contribute lots of money to our Political Party who are the only ones who can defend us from them). They are unrealistic, unsophisticated fools who are out of touch with reality. They’re science denying, war mongering, gun-toting yahoos who cling to old white men’s ideas and don’t understand the modern world. They’re greedy, evil, Capitalist, Nazi, Fascist, bigoted weirdos, who don’t pay their fair share or care about others, especially the poor or the elderly.

If you are a Republican do you believe any of these pre-conceptions about Democrats? They’re all arrogant, ignorant Atheist fanatics who think they know it all and will try to control us if we don’t resist them tooth and nail (and contribute lots of money to our Political Party – who are the only ones who can defend us from them). They are unrealistic, unsophisticated fools who are out of touch with reality. They’re immoral, peacenik appeasers; America and gun haters who refuse to learn from history, cling to old disproved ideas and misunderstand the modern world. They’re greedy, evil, Communist, Nazi, Fascist, bigoted weirdos who just want to live off everyone else’s wealth and pretend to care about the poor or the elderly but really o it to feel superior, gain power and adulation and puff up their ego.

To plant the misrepresentations, these others used the tactics of Politics – create a villain to scare you, a scapegoat to blame and a “Struggle” so you will buy into their ideas and support their agenda as though it were your own. Political parties and Politicians make propaganda lies and distortions believable by constant repetition, use cult-like techniques to unite people into artificial groups and exert group/peer pressure to mold your choices.

With this realization, I hope you will be more willing to question implanted beliefs and, if needed, let them go.

Lawrence spent his career solving the problems of major businesses. He created software, business processes and systems that save millions of dollars a year and make people’s work life easier and more productive. He was a founding partner in a company which is instrumental in streamlining the practice of medicine and helping both patients and Doctors cope with the problems created by government health care.

During an assignment on the 98th floor of the WTC in 1993, he experienced first hand Islamic Terrorists' nearly successful attempt to take down the WTC. He and tens of thousands of others were trapped in the building in darkness and choking smoke.

After the government’s whitewashing denial of the root cause of the bombing - the evil built into Islam, the deepening confusion of American values, the negative end results of unnecessary and even immoral government intervention, the deterioration of the US economy and widespread systemic government corruption and unchecked power, he founded The Society Project to provide a blueprint for restoring our unique government Of the People, not Above the people, as it has become.

The Society project is dedicated to restoring the Constitutional Republic of the United States by educating, motivating and facilitating people to act to repair our society, through the Amendment process, before our society becomes another of the world’s failures.
