First post: Purpose of this site

Greetings! Right off the bat, I'm going to say this is not a news site, or a news aggregate site, or some BS pundit thing (although it might be that last one if things change). I started this site because it's 2015 and I'm sick and tired of pretty much the insanity of the world, You have irresponsible news outlets, blogs that complain on every little detail of inconsequential stuff without making an impact, the right wing in control of the congress who can make a child think "Wait, all this stuff they've been teaching us in school never mentioned these crazy worlds out there." You have a senator, Rand Paul, who is supposedly a doctor makes comments about not getting vaccinations, latching onto the headlines like a blood-sucking leech seeking to sound principled. And another senator named Thom Tillis says that restaurants should be able to opt out of laws requiring hand washing since "the market will make sure those places go out of business". And yet another a senator named Tom Cotton said Gitmo detainees, with no distinction between those in there who are guilty or who are innocent, should "rot in there", and gets a giant chorus of John Birchers and others to sing his praises here on Facebook.  You have Brian Williams, who could make Edward R. Murrow spin in his grave. The list could go on. And then there's a whole list of stuff not even mentioned in the headlines, or if it is, then it doesn't make a small impact. The purpose of this whole thing is to give a voice, to myself, to others, et cetera, and to serve as as a platform for various things, such as questioning officials in power and making sure the corrupt no longer stay unaffected. And also some stuff that's like calls to actions or petitions but without signatures.

If this is all confusing, forgive me, it's my first post, and I haven't quite gotten the hang of it yet. But I will say this: Screw Truthrevolt, screw Breitbart, screw TheBlaze, screw Twitchy, screw Salon, screw Slate, screw Gawker, screw CNN, screw Fox news, screw MSNBC, screw Brian Williams, screw TMZ, screw Rand Paul, screw Chris Christie, screw Hillary Clinton, screw Congress, screw Chris Kyle, screw the military, screw corporate owners and lobbyists in this country, screw Valdimir Putin, screw the Chinese government, screw the American right-wing, screw the internet, screw autism-haters, screw the current state of affairs that sounds almost exactly like 50s years ago (what with the soldiers and heroism and dualism and environmental problems), screw jerkasses who love themselves so much they'll take over the news just to hear themselves speak, screw the narrowness of the voices and world of the internet, screw the NRA, and screw the NFL for good measure too.
