I have heard, in the last little bit, several posters claiming that Americans are dumb for voting for Obama. Not that they see things differently, not that they just don't buy your brand, but they are dumb. How could anyone disagree with my position? They must be dumb.

So lets take a poll, are Americans dumb?

yes

But no different from any of the people that are rioting in European countries because they don't want to lose their welfare even though the country is on the verge of default.

Yes, they are dumb. Stupid. But the youngsters don't know what America is supposed to be.

Welcome to your new normal. I'm glad I grew up and spent my adulthood in a different time.

I'm retired now. I'm going to happily draw my social security check and sit back laughing at the rest of you.

Charming....so you don't care about anyone but yourself? Hope you enjoy yourself now, cause your afterlife isn't looking so hot.

Americans are dumb if they think all this dancing around and voting and celebrating or sulking makes one bit of difference...this is all a giant distraction. The globalists are in control. These elections are a puppet show.

What is he to do differently? We tried to vote for a candidate that would actually fix it.

Yes....but not because they don't agree with me. lol

If they can substantiate their premise.. More power to them. We may still not agree.

But people who pump the mainstream feed are very stupid...even if they agree with me.

Americans have a problem with long term thinking and short term memory. Worse still we tend to be very shallow in our sense of personal accountability.
We damn a 16 year old girl for getting pregnant. Who didn't want to get laid at 16? I did, I failed but I wanted to.
We max out credit cards then complain our boss doesn't pay us enough. Personal accountability seems to be for the other guy.
We dont hold elected reps accountable for their many lies. Why? because they are our party.
It isn't a lack of intellegence. It is a matter of priorities.
Balanced budget? Sure as long as the sacrifice isnt mine.
