Life in the Time of Low Information Voters
I used to love American popular culture. I found it rich, diverse and endlessly amusing. These days, I rarely go to the movies or plays and cannot bear to watch television. Even the radio with its repetitive, uninformative news snippets annoys. Our popular culture has moved from family favorites like Your Show of Shows, The Wonder Years, and I Love Lucy to the minute by minute coverage of celebrities not known for their wit, charm, or beauty, They are known for nothing other than the willingness to put their every part of bodies on narcissistic display and to promote the latest chichi leftwing cause.
Alicia Colon examines the phenomenon of the low information voters such a dross culture produces
Right now they are clueless. Consequently they have allowed the Democrats to hijack and distort the GOP's positions on virtually every issue. Republicans, therefore, don't care about the middle class and only want to reduce the taxes of the rich. They are also racists who want to keep minorities down. These distortions are repeated often by anchors on MSNBC and the alphabet networks. CNN is always on in the social service offices and in airports and the formerly legitimate cable station is so far on the decline that it feels comfortable allowing disgusting antics by amoral hosts on its New Year's Eve broadcast.
But it is folly to assume that all the low-info voters are poorly educated or on the dole. College students and graduates of liberal academia have been completely indoctrinated in leftist ideology and loathe all things conservative. Their bibles include the New York Times, the Washington Post and the Los Angeles Times which routinely carry and affirm the Democrat lies.

Today’s entertainment is absolute garbage. I think it either reflects or helps create a decadent society, probably both.
The state of morality in the U.S. is awful and that is being generous.
Worse than awful
I try my best to avoid today’s entertainment. Usually the only time I encounter it is when I’m stuck out-of-town in some motel room, and turn on the tv out of sheer boredom. It never fails to knock me for a loop, how wildly putrid and degenerate the culture has indeed become. It’s an abject cesspool.
Invariably it leaves me wondering for days as to why I even bother with matters of politics and civics. Why would I even want to lift a finger to help preserve a country as morally bankrupt as to have this kind of deviant swill for its preferred entertainment? To hell with it.
Well don’t keep me in suspense, did you end up in Northwestern U?
I still watch a lot of TV but it is mainly restricted to things like “The History Channel” old movies, Jeopardy etc.
I am getting a whole bunch of free movies for this weekend and there has not been a single one all weekend that I really want to watch. A very high percentage of them are nothing more than pure propaganda disguised as entertainment and you know which side they are on.
Ah, he was an attorney. Mom actually seems to have been the one behind all this.
She sued the b/f who leadked the tape and won $8,000,000 in court. That helps one become famous.
I applied and even had a letter of recommendation from Mrs. Fredrickson. But, sadly, they declined to admit me. They said they had already filled their quota of Underwear Flashers for the upcoming class. Not to worry, though. I am a proud graduate of the world famous New York University of Artsy Schmartzy Stuff. Here’s my painting of a polar bear in a blizzard

Did you see his eyes?
Armenians aint really white anyway. Nobody really is east of Rhodes.

Kim has big boobs and all of them are SLUTTY and stupid people LOVE that.
I USED to admire Bruce Jenner....then he married into this family, got PLASTIC SURGERY and EARRINGS and went with all the SLUT crap.......pathetic.
Bruce also likes to wear women’s clothes.
Is that a JOKE?? Is he GAY? YUK.
It is not a joke. He is not gay. He did admit he likes to wear women’s clothes.
