To: April Lexington

The Air Force once conducted an experiment.

They took six monkeys and placed them into a cage with a ladder in the middle.

After a few days, a banana was placed above the ladder.

One brave monkey went up the ladder and grabbed the banana. When he grabbed it, the rest of the monkeys received an electrical shock.

After 5 days, 5 bananas, and 5 shocks, the monkeys quit going up the ladder.

The researchers then swapped one monkey out with a fresh ignorant monkey. The banana appeared and when he started to go up the ladder, the other monkeys beat the hell out of him.

After 3 days of this, the new monkey quit trying to go up the ladder.

Another monkey was swapped out, and another until none of the original monkeys were left.

The electrical shock equipment was removed but the monkeys still would not go up the ladder even though they had no idea why other than they would get beat up by the others if they tried. If another monkey tried, they’d help beat ‘em up.

Hence the phrase, “I dunno, but that’s they way we always done it.”

Inoctrination....ain’t it great?

It exists for those of us who appreciate the freedoms we still have!! This is a total war on Capitolism which is the engine that drives our Democracy.There is no mention of American history in this election...funny, since we are about keeping the Constitution, the Bill of Rights and the Declaration of Independence in tact. Obama hates the Constitution because he cannot control it. He is about big government controlling everyperson and every person’s money. He is as dangerous as a virus running wild. He MUST BE STOPPED NOW!!!!
