IF PERRY COMO SAYS SO, IT MUST BE TRUE

Many, many years ago our oldest daughter told her two younger sisters that there must be a Santa Claus because she heard Perry Como read the letter “Yes, Virginia there is a Santa Claus” to his audience. She told them “if Perry Como said so it must be true”. At the time she was probably eight years old.

In the year 2013, there are many adults with the mentality of eight-year olds, who believe everything they hear on television and the radio. The ranting and ravings of Rush Limbaugh, Glen Beck, Ted Cruz, Bill O’Reilly, Rand Paul and the rest of their ilk shout out half-truths and innuendos to their clueless listeners who believe that if they say so it must be true.

The sad part of it all is that the people believing them are basically people with low incomes and the ones most harmed by the same ranting and ravings.
