The "know nothing" wing of the "Murdock" Tories is taking over there, and now France is flirting with similar electoral insanity.

If "know nothing" conservatives take over here as well, we will be remembering the good old days when common sense was in charge.

We can't let the crazies take over. Fear, hatred, and stupidity -- not terrorism -- are our real enemies.

We have to fight that enemy within ourselves as well, by reading, thinking, understanding, compassion, and love.

And it wouldn't hurt to shut off the TV and block out senseless propaganda and media frenzy.

We have to practice mindfulness in these hard times and keep a clear head.
