I feel like everytime I read the news I see people advocating for intolerance.

I made the mistake of watching 8: The Mormon Proposition last night. The powerful wave of hatred towards gays shocked me. The fact that they so blatantly hate and conspired the way they did shocked me.

Seeing Bill O'Reilly refer to the POTUS as "Mr. Obama" shocks me.

Rand Paul shocks me.

Sally Kern shocks me.

A law written by a man with known racist/neo-nazi ties targeting brown people shocks me.

I could go on and on and on with a list of people that are in powerful or political positions advocating for intolerance.

However, I have not (nor will I ever) become numb to the feeling of shock. I am afraid that a majority of America has become numb, spewing back rhetoric heard on Faux News (which IMO is not a new outlet any longer, but a Political Lobbyist).

Where is this all going to end?
