Unfortunately that is a perfect description of much of our electorate these days.
As the elctions of 2006 and 2008 proved, there are plenty here with no brain. What each of those with no brain is the desire to be a kept whore of the Democrat Party. “Just use the Governmental power to steal from those who work and save for thir future and give it to me who won’t work and won’t save. I need the free dope,alcohol, food, money, house. Do that and I will be your slave forever. And this is what happens until the parasites kill their host.
Now the silver lining to that otherwise black cloud is that the Government takes all we have by either the use or threat to use deadly force, the pool shrinks to the point that it is no longer big enough to support the rulers and their drones. So the drones get cut. But the pond continues to shrink and the rulers now to fight each other for what substience remains in the shrinking pond. This they do and continue to grow weaker until they die or a stronger predator comes along and devours them.
