First of all they're anything but democratic as they're tyranical collators of legislation that would completely fill the houses of Congress. They have used the Constitution as toilet paper and laugh at the illiterate electorate that keeps them thriving in their lifetime careers.
The Republican Party is worse! They abet this evil by never touching on the real problems in America that adversely affect everything in our daily lives as we march along to a future of nothing but pure misery.
This poor excuse for an alternative party has 'reached across the aisle' to their butt buddies far too many times in the name of 'bipartisanship.' They fail to recognize the enemies in our midst. Orrin Hatch, for example, continually referred to his good friend, Teddy Kennedy.
This mess that deliberately unfolded before our eyes on New Year's eve was a carefully orchestrated event that would elevate the stinking Democrats to problem solvers with the moronic excuse for a vice-president as the catalyst.
No elected fool has hit on the real reason so obvious to us who still possess a working brain: emasculate the central socialist government.
A pox on both parties. A legitimate third party comprised of Tea Party types would syphon votes from both parties which would be quite enough to run things.
The disgusting action last night is but a preview of things to come. With the gaggle of stupid Americans who vote the situation will worsen to the extent that the Greeks will be in a better position than the USA.
"My big moment has arrived. I knew I was kept on board for some unknown reason!"
That's a keeper.
“. The Everetts of the world understood that people who could read and understand are dangerous because they are intellectually equipped to find out things for themselves, thus becoming a threat to already established power elites. “
The Northeastern power elites would be more precise.
I read that the American literacy rate - the ability to read and write well - was 98% in 1890.
I’d guess that reading books, magazines and newspapers was the chief means of entertainment and communication was mostly done through letters, and that accounted for the high literacy.
[A pox on both parties. A legitimate third party comprised of Tea Party types would syphon votes from both parties which would be quite enough to run things.]
Beginning at the state levels where conservative governors must unite to stop their states from being plundered by the federal communist politicians and the democrat states who are broke and who should
be all disregarded and cut off from conservative states funds.
“A pox on both parties. A legitimate third party comprised of Tea Party types would syphon votes from both parties which would be quite enough to run things.”
BINGO!!! I’ve (and a few others here in Houston) tried for the longest time in the Republicaan party (within) to steer the nonsense from the elitist leadership, and not to much success...Some if us are looked upon as a threat to their status and power, and they are almost as bad as the opposition...
I do not believe we should give up, we just need to clean house and not put up with the cheerleading and other whimsical crap the leadership tries to foist upon us...
Time to stop playing nice and respectful and remind the knuckleheads we send to these elected offices that they are there at OUR behest, and it is time to send as many home as possible...
One in particular told me a few years ago that “You just do not know how things work in D.C. and Austin!!!”
Well, I told him that apparently it ain’t working in any case!!!
Unfortunately that nnumbnut is still sitting in high cotton in D.C. right now...
I’d love to pull the plunger and flush his arse right out of that job...
Don’t ask me what I would love to see happen to democrats at this point...
“Why Americans Are Stupid”
How can that be?
Progressives consider anyone who swallows their line to be brilliant, knowledgeable, intellectual geniuses who understand everything about social justice.

An excellent concise summary on the historical case for how we got here in US education. The bit about the changes in literacy among military enlistees/draftees through three wars was especially enlightening. The author stated the case very well and those in education ought to stand in the judgement box for their choices and acts.
The depth of ignorance of “Obamaphone lady” is profound. That program was actually started in 1985 during Reagan’s term in office.
The education system has been so effective in dumbing people down that they don’t even know who to give proper credit to for benefits or proper condemnation for their plight.
So we have a third-world populace (Obamaphone sycophants)and they elect third-world leaders, Obama himself.
Detroit is our future if we can’t turn back the ignorati and the elites. Comparing us to Greece may be too generous, their population may actually be more informed and educated than ours, they actually show a tendency to want to solve their problems.
Not Detroitistan! We’re content to watch it slide into the sewer, blame the wrong people, and elect every fool that promises more government money to fix our problems.
We’ll get a wheelbarrow of money from the government, but that won’t buy one square of toilet paper, but we’ll elect the same clowns that did that to the dollar.
Maybe those old racist southerners were not so far off with some of their voting laws. I would propose a return of Voter ID, Poll Taxes, Literacy Tests, tax stubs and maybe even a deed to real property to vote. Welfare recipient’s are also disqualified
Elitist? Maybe, but at least we should eliminate the “Low Information” voter. (The voter that is really too ignorant to vote) Some of whom are really too stupid.
A pox on both parties.
The Republicrats and Democans are the two faces of the Big Government party. America desperately needs a second party.
I read all the posts through number twenty five and no one has mentioned the biggest bottleneck in the school system.
teachers colleges and education degrees
The schools can be fixed. Stop hiring education degrees. for grades K-6 hire high school graduates with a 3.0 or better GPA. Use the ASVAB to screen for those with an aptitude for teaching. For those who are going to start yelling, the high school grads did better in one room school houses than the ed degrees are doing now. For grades 7-12 some subjects can easily be taught by high school grads. for the math and science courses hire math or science degrees. Schools today seem to be engaged in feather bedding. there is no need for a principle, two or three vice principles and a half dozen assistant vice principles. The school I attended, 55 to 67, had a grade school principle, a principle for grades 7-12, a secretary for each, three custodial staff, three cooks and 28 teachers with a student body of 600. that was all. Schools now have more personal that don’t teach than they have that teach.
Only the educated are free.

I was born with a talent in reading. My parents read to me every night, and I picked up words. In first grade...I was reading 5th grade texts.
We keep making the mistake of projecting our thoughts and beliefs on the Democrat voters. What do you think about your vote? Have you even considered what a “vote” is? We look at our vote as an expression of our beliefs. We “vote” for people who we think will best represent our beliefs and thoughts. Is this what Democrat voters think? They see their vote as an investment. They are “investing” in the Democrat party. And, like all good old-fashioned investors, they expect dividends. We have to understand that they think differently than we do. They aren’t stupid. Somehow, these “stupid” people manage to find their way to the polling stations and find the Democrats on the ballot. These stupid people beat us this last election. They probably consider us to be quite stupid. I know the leaders of the Democrat party consider us to be quite stupid.

No one knows the true history of compulsory schooling in America. I wonder why?
John Gatto’s “Underground History of American Education” is a revelation. It’s also available to read for free on line.
She certainly helped strengthen the point that too many Americans are stupid, but I didn’t see the root cause. Until they take the “Left-Winger-Gene” theory seriously and treat it like a lethal disease, we will continue to have a low smarts/common sense profile.
I stopped using that term for them a long time ago.
They are Leftists, pure and simple.
A THIRD PARTY is NOT the answer. A 'red' United States and a 'blue' United States is the answer.
Consider the two countries as a RED STATE and a BLUE STATE solution. Liberal elites won't have to fight us to win all the things they want - and we won't have to argue with them about our positions.
It's a win-win. Liberals can have ALL of the following:
Free - TOTALLY FREE Medical care from cradle to grave. ObamaCare on speed.
Unlimited gun control laws.
Unlimited immigration from third world countries.
A minimum wage of $50 an hour.
Taxes on the ‘rich’ of 90% to 98%.
Anyone can vote as ofter as they want to... no ID required.
Teachers have life time appointments - even if they can't pass a simple reading test.
“Marriage” is something between any groups or species or whatever. Anything and everything goes...
Krugman of the New York Times can run the economy - and borrow money from the world until (red state) debt is a million to one.
***********************************************************************
OUR SIDE can have traditional values...
Traditional Medical Care.
Voter ID Laws
Marriage between a man and a woman.
Balanced budget
Newspapers that work to win the respect and trust of their readers rather than working for liberal ‘prizes’ to adorn their office walls.
Citizens can keep the Constitution we have now - and ALL of the Bill of Rights.
Why do so many people including many here find this so new?
conservatives like me raised as a near minority in a creeping black dominated environment have known this all my life...minority dominated and secured by northern and coastal white liberals
(55 years old)
we now have let our elections be determined by stupid folks who want free stuff or getback or both
the only thing that could change this ...and only that is temporary is to shift a conservative white turnout at least 5 percentage points up...and that would matter...handwringing about turning minorities is a waste with little results unless you turn most of them...ain’t gonna happen
it’s too late now really in the long run...the Bush open borders really cemented the incremental-ism of turning the US into a non white nation...what we end up with will not be pretty or familiar
all this blather now is just biding time till total capitulation or civil war
