[The Moronization of the Republic]

An apt description of the last 7 years.

The U.S. is now one big Jerry Springer show. It’s started with Clinton, and has been in warp speed with Obama.

Yes, and I think those shows even contribute to it, in some degree.

There has been a lot of garbage on television for the past 20+ years.

If the idiots in government can change the ten dollar bill on their own without public approval, what’s to stop them from changing the other denominations? HOW IN THE H... DO THESE MORONS GET TO DO THIS!!!!? Sorry for the early morning screaming, but this is just another little example of a tyrannized government.

Garbage? Garbage? If you think TV has a lot of garbage, get on the "social media" and wear your hip waders.

The filth will drown you {and our kids and grandkids are swimming in this swamp}.

"There was something not "terrifying" - not yet - but coercive and authoritarian in the uniformity of the mandatory jubilation."

Almost as genuine as a north korean mourner at kim jong il's funeral.

Moronization is not a word. Moron.

“Moronization”

It’s a thought that Steyn has created a word for. I think we will see this word again and again.

Moronization

There are a lot of "ization" words in use that aren't words.

A woman on a $10 bill? Cheapskates! How about the $1,000 bill, which will most likely become necessary in the future. Zimbabwe here we come.
