“..Yes, Americans are THAT stupid....”

Well, There are Americans...and then there are those who simply LIVE in America and parasite off of Americans.

And there is a VAST difference between the two.

Americans are generous, decent, compassionate, fair people who believe in giving everyone a fair chance at achieving something better - not an equal outcome, but at least an equal chance at it. And because we are THAT kind of people, we got rooked and snookered by “those that simply live in America” who believe they’re owed something, and the political whores that pander to them for votes.

The day isn’t far off when Americans say “Enough”, and it won’t be pretty when it happens.

Because we wish it were so, doesn’t make it come any sooner.

Everything has a breaking point - or a “braking” point, if you will. You put the brakes on before the system breaks, or else it turns to sh*t and the REAL corrective actions take place, just as we’ve seen all throughout history.

Liberalism - like anything else - can only survive so long as no one opposes them, and as long as there are worthless dirtbags that support them and are willing to play “moderate” footsie with them. As long as people are willing to “obey”, they’ll be around. When folks decide enough is enough, and they stand up and fight back, it will die. It’s an ideological psychosis based on fantasy and illusion, and there’s nothing like a cold, hard slap in the face to re-introduce one to reality.

Obamacare is the BEGINNING of that cold, hard slap in the face for many people, for once - It’s hitting them in their money, and everyone understands money. People are seeing the Sock Puppet as they guy who made me lose my health insurance - “There was NOTHING wrong with what I had, and now I CAN’T have it anymore??? WTF?!?!”

and its HIS FACE AND NAME associates with that pain

Pretty simple.

As a cost cutting measure, the DoD is considering closing all US commissaries. Many other things will be cut before they defund the EBT cards.

every person under age 25 that I’ve met, is a liberal. they think captialism is a disease. one guy I work with, even told me (once) “look how much money would be available for everyone, if salaries were just capped at $200,000.”
I told him to get away from me but I dont know how you can fix that mindset.

They, and their teachers, have been educated by progressives.
The doctrine is planted generations deep now.

The answer is No. Only concerted counteraction by a conservative majority unafraid to break eggs to make an omelet can begin to disperse the squalid dregs of liberalism. Viet Nam may have led to an era of not very liberal presidents, but the growth and metastasis of malignant government progressed at only slightly slower pace.

WE are approaching the status of UK before Maggie Thatcher's tenure in office. But if we have a Maggie Thatcher waiting in the wings I don't know who it might be.

One thing Buchanan and all the other pundits miss is this. The US has a traumatized populace. 9/11 was a success-- the terrorists won-- before we could even strike back.

Consider: A mere seven years after 9/11, this country elected an unvetted unknown with the name Hussein, and we were told we were not allowed even to speak his name, and collectively we meekly obeyed. His Moslem beliefs were only thinly veiled, he even talked about "my Muslim faith" on national TV, and it took willing unbelief not to know this. This could only have happened with a traumatized populace suffering from the battered wife syndrome.

Now, the electorate has blindly and dumbly re-elected the alien, who embarks on a foray of destruction the likes of which this country has never before seen. And while the people whimper and fuss, they will not dare to defy their abusers. In 2016 Hillary will run. The people, the media, the country's ruling class, will re-enact 2008--a traumatic re-enactment-- and repeat the whole cycle. The republicans either are totally paralyzed themselves, or they have sold out. Either way, they have no way to take advantage of what should be a historic opportunity. Their antipathy to the TEA Party smacks of the victim fighting off the would be rescuer, preferring to stay in the abusive relationship.

I know it doesn't sound rational, and it's not--but it's just what people do when they are beaten.
