I’m beginning to think We’re as Dumb as they think we are

While I continue to berate our elected officials of both parties, the elite media, the extreme left, secular humanists, progressives, unions, the government school system, college professors and a host of other miscreants, I have to admit that we, the American people, deserve as much criticism.

Yeah, I know we’re busy raising families, working to make ends meet under a ton of mostly ridiculous government regulations and taxes, but our lack of reaction to actions by people in power has allowed the kook fringe to frame the debate.

A significant number of people in my sphere of influence don’t subscribe to a daily newspaper, and pay scant attention to local, state and national legislation that will have a significant effect on their lives. Some of them actually still believe that if a news anchor says something on the air or if they read it in a newspaper it must be true.

The Democrat Party of Jack Kennedy doesn’t exist anymore, yet many of our seniors continue to vote for what passes for a Democrat Party today. They may have lived through the depression and still revere the party of FDR. They may buy the propaganda that the Democrat Party is still the party of the poor and middle class. I’ve had people that I know and respect tell me that the Republican Party of today is still the party of the rich and big business. In fact the Democrat Party would collapse if we actually won the War on Poverty. It’s in their best, no their vital interest, to maintain a significant number of our population beholden to the Government for their very existence.

Too many of you have bought into the Global Warming Scare in spite of the fact that there’s been no warming since 1998, forcing them to change their mantra to Climate Change. The fact that over 2000 eminent scientists recently rejected the entire concept as poor science was ignored by our government leaders and their media lackeys. In case you have a short memory, many of the current Global Warming enthusiasts were warning us of the coming Ice Age as late as 1975.

They’ve convinced a majority of you that they can’t cut taxes because the “cost” would add to the deficit. They hope you don’t remember that every time the marginal tax rates are cut, tax revenues to the government GO UP dramatically. They ignore the increase and try to focus on the myth that less tax would be collected.They’ve sold you on the idea that they represent Mainstream America based upon their agenda rather than fact.

Too many of you accepted the Bush Lied slogan even though the record shows most of those making the claim bought into the same intelligence Bush acted upon. Democrats claim to be the party of choice yet fight any attempt to allow you to choose the school that would best educate your children yet you continue to allow them to experiment with your children.

Too many of you have accepted the idea that the Government can do everything, when in fact, you can’t find one government program that wouldn’t be considered a dismal failure and those responsible sent to jail in the private sector.

Only half of those eligible to vote are registered and only about half of those registered actually cast a ballot. In contrast, legal-immigrants-turned- citizens vote in significantly larger numbers and find it difficult to understand our indifference. In short, we are responsible for the current conditions in this country. The question is what are we going to do about it?
