Not so much - stupid,

Rather - downright corrupt and EVIL.

They KNOW what they’re doing. Americans who miss that lack understanding and truth.

Lots of good points in this article. I think government bureaucracies tend to get filled with people who aren’t very bright at all.

Even Obama, who’s about as sharp as a bowl of spaghetti,

Priceless.

As we say about #4 son, “He’s not the sharpest knife in the chandelier.”

I’ve mentioned this in other threads before, but a lot of this reminds me of a scene in the 1985 movie “Witness”, in which John Book (the Philadelphia police detective played by Harrison Ford) figures out the connection between the crooked cop (Danny Glover) ID’d by the Amish boy and the illegal speed trade in the area. The way Book says “they need the P2P to make the speed” and that that material had a very expensive street value makes me think of the artificially low borrowing costs for government and how their wealthy corporate paymasters then use the taxpayer as an unlimited credit card and that they need the Mexican immigrants as cheap labour.

You can even think of the 1980 movie “Brubaker”, in which the prison warden played by Robert Redford continues to discover corruption and rot in the local prison system higher and higher up in the chain of command (with the characters played by Wilford Brimley and the late Murray Hamilton). I know ones here will point out Redford’s definite liberal tendencies, but that movie is a really disturbing portrait and gives many good examples or explanations with what often goes on in government.

You raise good points, but I think the one about "cheap labour" is off the mark. Your local small business owner might see them as cheap labor, but corporate leaders don't. For large corporations, a Mexican worker costs less if he stays in Mexico.

There's no doubt in my mind that the big push for Third World immigration isn't driven by demand for labor at all. It's driven by the need for new customers. In the eyes of American business leaders, the Mexican worker has a distinct advantage over his American counterpart for one big reason: He arrives in California or Texas with a net worth of $0 ... which means he isn't saddled with a staggering amount of college debt ... which makes him a much better prospective customer for consumer products, a new car, or even a huge mortgage on an overpriced home.

Based on my years of observation and experience, I have determined that really important matters should not be left to politicians—They’re too damn stupid.

"Dumb as the third squirt of goose shit" is one of my favorites.

Third world immigration is driven by the desire of the Democrats, socialists, and communists to get enough voters to take over this country until it collapses economically after they get rich.

Traditional red states are turning blue; look at Virginia. Fairfax County in northern Virginia has a large population of Democrats who absolutely wipe out the rest of the state.

Can’t be too dumb as they get to openly flout the laws, good off, and get a six figure salary to do it.

You want disturbing, find “Alias” on Hulu. It can’t be ALL fiction, can it?

Everything that Obama does appears to be bungling and stupid, unless he is Moslem. Everything Baraq Hussein Obama does would sensibly be done by a dedicated Moslem who is in charge of the nation that is perceived as the biggest obstacle to Islamization of the World.

“Remember the really dumb kids at at school?”

...and remember the ones who were the narcissistic,
self-centered bullies, who were cultivated as brilliant, intellectual geniuses by many teachers?

They are now the psychotic punks running the whole ball of wax.

IMHO
