ABOUT JACKUP

Our lives are continually being interfered with and being manipulated by outside sources without our blessing or permission.

Things happen in our society that we are expected by some quarters to accept blindly without question. We are fed “spin” on a daily basis that frankly, on proper examination is at best, careless with the truth.

We are being told how we should behave and what we should say by self appointed “political correctness police”.

The social cringe of “political correctness” and fear of being labeled as a skeptics, bigots, non-believers, Neanderthal, prejudiced and the like has got out of hand.

It is time to stand up for ourselves and say “I too have a right to an opinion, and a right to decide”.

I did want to create a web site to express opinions, expose flaws, propose solutions and open some political decisions to scrutiny.

Jackup was an expression in common use when I was younger. If you did not like something, you would “jack up” about it. This would mean not doing something, do it reluctantly, protest about it, or complaining bitterly.

The name also connects to “Jack”, my nickname.
