Twitter & #HashTags

Technology has made all of us more social. We have MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, Blogs where we discuss everything from A to Z. While I have a blog I don’t always regularly contribute to, I do write one from time to time on the things that are important to me.

I am a new user to Twitter. While it took me a bit to get started, I do tweet daily, sometimes just to repost things I think others should see, other times just to say hello, and put up a daily pic I think others will enjoy. Some of the hash tags lately have been a bit controversial (#Gosnell, #LiberalsGrewUpWatching, #Impeach, #2ndAmend, #Benghazi, #Nobama just to name a few). However it is the younger generation that blows me out of the water each & every time that someone tweets something about President Obama, or his administration; while I do NOT agree with his political agenda nor his choices of cabinet members (mostly radical, liberal, communist players from the 60’s & 70’s) whom at one time or another saw the inside of a holding tank because of their actions. While I do know everyone makes mistakes, and is entitled to clear their name, these folks just kept doing what they were doing.

One of my tweets from this week was: #LiberalsGrewUpWatching “The Jefferson’s” Making them assume they’re entitled to everything without working for anything.” One of the young, tweeters responded to me with the following:  “…while #Conservatives complained about minorities moving on up” and “So now liberals don’t work? Not this whole 52% thing again…” This young man has much to learn about our past as a nation, and where we are headed. By the way, I didn't say every Liberal I just made a statement about what I see daily. I expressed my opinion, which I will assume he did not like because I am a white woman, whom is educated and knows how to read a spread sheet. Also maybe he is NOT familiar with “The Constitution” not the ship in Boston harbor, but the living, breathing document that keeps all of us “free”. Too many history teachers do NOT teach anything about the constitution other than what date it was put in place. This is the most important document other than the “Declaration of Independence” that we have as AMERICAN’s.

We are living in a country of children whom do not know what “work” is. When I state this I do not mean all children. There are many high school students working to support themselves or saving for college. There are also many parents out there whom believe that “working” never hurt a chld. I am one of those parents. My children work, and work hard for what they have. They grew up having chores, which by the way did NOT kill them. We give our children the technology but have we taught them to be responsible with it? While I am happy to see that there are many young people on twitter using it to voice their opinions, I truly wish they would look at the facts before they embarrass themselves for the world to see.

I do my very best to check things out before I post them to my Twitter page. I do a lot of reading & research before I tweet, thus only about 3500 tweets from me, many are re-tweets. While many might not like what I have to say, I have the right to say it. It is a guaranteed freedom under the First Amendment of The Constitution.
