[The Ignorant Fisherman]

How can it get to this... we have abandoned common sense.. so.. here we are.

[Quix]

BECAUSE

Of the mind numbed, brainwashed, mind-controlled, propagandized, hedonistic, materialistic, narcissistic, God-forsaking 1/3-half the population

that mindlessy went along for the ride lo these many decades and particularly the last one.

[john in springfield]

Totally.

[EGPWS]

Foolish voters and ACORN.

[DeFault User]

Quite a few of my generation voted for Carter and later confessed it was the worst vote they ever cast. This generation will feel the same about Obama.

BTW, Common Sense died over 40 years ago. Few noted his passing, but he is sorely missed. I think his demise was about the time LBJ declared the War on Poor Folks.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Because the dumbass voters in this country haven’t figured out that elections do have consequences. They all wanted to “make history” and were too stupid to figure out that they’d be destroying their country in the process. All “history” is not good “history.” This is one of those times.

"The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the presidency. It will be easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails us. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president.”

The author is unknown but the above statement makes a great deal of sense

[23 Everest]

Because racially ignore, limp wrist-ed whites, idiots, & union members, but I digress, elected him.

[BitWielder1]

This happens in democracies sometimes, as a warning to the next ten generations that some freebies comes with too high a price.

[TruthConquers]

Because enough people have been successfully dumbed down by the communists in the schools and universities for more than 60 years. How many people did you know who liked history while in public schools?

Never mind the endless drivel called TV, movies and other such propaganda tools.

[Willie Green]

Bush screwed the pooch and Barry O’Bammy won by default.

[this is my country]

The inmates are running the asylum.

[roses of sharon]

Because a bunch of stupid white women thought they were voting for Denzel?

[EternalVigilance]

"Hain't we got all the fools in town on our side? And hain't that a big enough majority in any town?"

[sickoflibs]

It happened because everybody got mad at republicans, now they are mad at democrats (November will be proof of that.) It’s not complicated.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

The foolish are allowed to vote, this is the result!

[Obadiah]

The answer to your rhetorical devise is found in Romans 1: 20-32.

[alarm rider]

Because the left got the public education systems, PC, and blatant ignorance.
