That's what it seems like - but could they really be that stupid?
I mean, these are people who have been to college, balanced their checkbooks, made mortgage payments and navigated through other adult tasks - how can they also be so massively incompetent?

Massive arrogance led them to believe that the rule of law did not apply to them.

It’s part of their [evolutionary] worldview that “the masses” are stupid and easily manipulated, whereas they, the elite, are so far advanced that no one would dare question them.

Please explain “incompetent” and “stupid” in this context.

Do you mean they were bound to be found out?

As far as the basic plan is concerned, they still have not given up the idea of regulating guns in the US by pointing to the number of US guns going to Mexico. The Dems were making this argument in the recent hearings.

Sloppy, not stupid.

After thoroughly cleansing Obama's background,
getting "stimulus" through Congress with special deals,
taking over GM and then giving it to the unions,

the administration must have thought that they'll never get caught. They underestimated the threat of the Mexican drug cartels to Americans, thought that everyone in the ATF was one of them, thought that gun shop owners were inherently dishonest, thought that the MSM would never rat on them, etc

Did you miss the part where they are a bunch of government workers, being led by fascists?

To quote Heinlein: “Never underestimate the power of human stupidity.”

No secret from long time Freepers.

It is not incompetence. You assume they espouse American values. They do not. They want a one world communist government and they are doing all they can to weaken us to the point that we are unable to resist. We are near that point. They appear very competent at destroying all parts of our nation.
