Many citizens do have the attention span of a ten year old, and most of them vote liberal.
Recently I was telling a man and wife how liberals make hay out of every disaster, and wanted to give Obama’s inaction during the oil spill, as an example of libs desiring to make a disaster worse in order to gain greater political capital from it.
Both of them looked at each other with a puzzled gape-mouthed look, and said “What oil spill?”
I explained. The BP oil spill. 2010. The skimmers from overseas Obama didn’t want. The American skimmers the government wouldn’t allow to proceed. THAT oil spill.
They said “Oh, that oil spill,” but clearly they only had a dim recollection. “But that was AGES and AGES ago!”
I really look for the day they discover how they broadcast the signals over the television that not only tell people what to think, but also what to forget. Because it isn’t until after you throw away your TV that you discover how many people act like someone’s pulling their strings.
Perhaps thats it, I have not watched tv in a few weeks. Just never get around to it. Got a more interesting life than swamp guys or storage wars.
However there are Millions of people like us, that have the gift of reality. A lot of people are going to be getting that gift fast when SHTF.
