Am I too simpl minded?

I have never thought of myself as a complicated person and I never wanted to be too complicated. I don't think I am a simpleton either.  From time to time I have done things that would appear to be not too intelligent but I really think I am not alone in that.

I have tried to cut down on the number of political articles that I read and political shows that I view. I have come to the conclusion that on a national basis there really is no such thing as unbiased political shows or reporting. So it is pretty much a useless waste of time to view or read those types of things.

Earlier today while checking my email I received a message from Twitter that

Adrian krieg @DrAdrianKrieg   is following me.

{ Please excuse the bad formatting, apparently copying and pasting from my email was not the best thing to do}.

I have heard of the guy and believed he had conservative views. I was also bored so I thought what the heck. clicked on an article link and started to read. http://www.a2zpublications.com/blog/38/Neo-con%E2%80%99s-impact.  I am posting the link just in case anyone reading this is interested.

I tend to read a lot of things on a daily basis. I like keeping my mind occupied. And I would like to think that I understand 95-99% if what I read.

But every once in a while I read something that I know is English but it makes no or little sense at all.

Once I saw the title of the blog I figured it was to be about Neo-Conservatives because I had thought that I had had heard the term before and I figured they were a group of people who may be even more conservative that Rush Limbaugh. I consider myself to be almost Liberal when compared to him but I know his points of view are shared by many.  But I digress.

But as I continued the blog I got the sense that Mr Krieg was actually writing about extreme liberals until some part of my mind seem to indicate that I had heard that President Obama actually was actually more in favor of the Palestinians than the Isreali's.

For the record I don't really follow what is going on in the Middle East so I will readily admit that I probably don't have any idea who supports who.

As I continued to read some  thoughts came to me. First, am I too simple minded to understand things like what is actually going on in the Middle East?  Do most Americans really think about what is going on outside of our own continent?  I can't remember the last time I had a conversation about any political matter that was not about National or State issues.

And finally, I began to wonder if Mr Krieg's view didn't seem like a bit of a conspiracy theory type of thing to me.

I honestly have not heard of a single conspiracy theory angle that I ever thought was accurate.  I have known a few people who have seemed to believe every conspiracy angle ever uttered.

And I have always come away from people who believe those types of things as a.) have too much time of their hands and B.) want to tie up loose ends in a tight little package where no real air tight answers really exist.

Or maybe I am just to simple minded and unintelligent to understand. I just hope I am not too dumb to know.
