PUNISHED FOR BRING CORRECT

It is amazing how often people are punished for being correct about something. Telling the truth or being correct about a warning of impending disaster can get you punished, usually by social ostracism.

Scientists who discovered that the earth went around the sun were imprisoned by a church which believed that the earth was the center of the universe.

Women and minorities have this problem more than white males. The word uppity was used to describe a minority who had the temerity to be correct.

I wonder if the Republican Tea Party people are punishing our President because he nearly fixed the economy in spite of their strong attempts to cause further economic pain. They believe that a depression would allow them to take over. They are strongly backed by the 1%.
