We're in big trouble with these people
So true. I blame public education. Indoctrination is so much easier than teaching reason and logic, plus the latter doesn't fit their "feeling" based politics. They use weaseling rather than reasoning.
Just ran across this on another thread, post #10 by Bobalu. I think you'll like it
FR thread: President Obama: Neo-Marxist
An Obama Democrat in a hot air balloon realized he was lost. He lowered his altitude and spotted a man in a boat below. He shouted to him, Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I dont know where I am.
The man consulted his portable GPS and replied, Youre in a hot air balloon, approximately 30 feet above a ground elevation of 2,346 feet above sea level. You are at 31 degrees, 14..97 minutes north latitude and 100 degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude..
He rolled his eyes and said, You must be a Republican. I am, replied the man. How did you know? Well, answered the Obama Democrat, everything you told me is technically correct. But I have no idea what to do with your information, and Im still lost. Frankly, youve not been much help to me.
The man smiled and responded, You must be an Obama Democrat. I am, replied the Obama Democrat. How did you know?
Well, said the man, you dont know where you are or where you are going. Youve risen to where you are, due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise you have no idea how to keep, and you expect me to solve your problem. Youre in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but somehow, now its my fault.
