It's obviously not the cream that rises to the top. Ninety eight percent of those that make it into office come from scum floating on the top of the pond. Any time these weird things come to the surface, you can assure yourself, that they will only get worse, not better.
After 9-11 I felt sorry for those that thought some sanity would come to our borders and immigration. It's only gotten worse, the only attack has been on our Civil Liberties, and the same will happen with this. Even given the incredible year of fires that can be laid directly at the feet of environmental groups, the Forest Service, and the EPA, nothing will come of it except their power will grow more and things will be worse.
Our leaders are much more intelligent than the masses that is why they are so easily led by the nose and generally re-elect the same evil shiites we are used to. Leaders are only as good as those who follow them and we have about as ignorant and stupid a population as has ever graced the face of the earth.
It will believe almost any lie no matter how transparent and cannot follow a simple though more than a couple of steps. If you ask any question of almost anyone you are almost immediately floundering in the stupidity which flows from our fellow citizens' mouths.
I wish I didn't believe this but have seen nothing that refutes this belief. :^( They learned nothing from 9/11.
