I would say Americans are more ignorant since they elected said ignorant leaders.

watchman57 Good points- It really makes me think and ponder just how people buy into the media blowhards everyday. Its even more discouraging when you really know something about a topic and you see the elected official miss every single important fact. Does not matter if your a red guy a blue guy or inbetween the media and the political talking heads are just plain ignorant most of the time.

Your point about China being able to strike us down without a single bullet is so true-in this modern world and global economy there is one superpower and it is hands down China.

Pains me everyday to see the path America is going down really makes you wish for a simpler time when things were not so divided. We have lost our direction as a country.

Everyone says they are going to do something and we elect new officials sometimes but we always end up with the same net result. I am not sure I will live to see the day when this country is proud , strong and look upon as a true leader of the world. I am not trying to knock on obama or cheney or bush its just frustrating to see our country in this shape. I have tried to do my part by writing senators , congressmen and women, governors local mayors etc... to no avail

Really? Then why is that those that claim the President of the United States of America is a Criminal, not a natural born citizen, a Muslim, a Communist, an Terrorist Lover, Anti-American and the Anti-Christ trying to destroy this nation are ALL Righties. Looney thinking is alive and well in far rightie land, funny that you did not notice it

But all of the above is TRUE! The lefties never want to see the truth because the truth hurts.

Excessive amounts of kool-aide can be very detrimental to your health....just saying.

Please note that delusion is more dangerous than ignorance. Ignorant people do not know or care or know about anything but deluded people are certain about their beliefs even if their certainty is completely wrong. Just listen to the believers in FAUX Noise for excellent examples.

I believe the problem is the industrialization of our schools where the output of a mediocre product capable of responding to mass consumer advertizing is more important than teaching people how, but not what, to think. Belief is at the core of delusion. We have far more believers than thinkers. So does every other society.

Our so called "free" press and MSM was poisoned a long time ago - search Operation Mockingbird, see how many key anchors/reporters belong to the CFR or get their paychecks from Globalist/One World Gov't people like Murdoch, Turner, Soro's ect. People will not ask who, what and why anymore, if its not on American TV or a American paper then it surely aint da truth. The term Sheeple is profoundly true! The Internet however if used right is the #1 thorn/problem to these vermin and that is why they are strangling it and planning on its being totally controlled soon. De-programming mind control subjects aint easy and not a 100% success assured task but every individual that awakens counts as one who will not only say no but heck no! Resistance is NOT futile.

Actually, NONE of it was true, but Thanks for Proving my point

Yes, drinking the stuff can be damaging to rational thought, hope you are planning on cutting back on your drinking the stuff real soon.
