People take advantage of the stupid or ignorant and politicians have made money that way for centuries.
But hasn't anybody noticed that our politicians have gotten, well, pretty stupid themselves the past 15 or 20 years or so? And this has to be the least cerebral administration in US history.

Besides wolves, buffalo, maize and so on, we've been also tamed/domesticated. We are, mostly, homo sapiens domesticated .. "We" do as the dogs do, wiggle our tail and jump around when politicians throw a piece of food or something.. All our senses of reason and reality are deeply corrupted.

We fight each other over beliefs and skin colors which they taught us to do generation after generation.

It is so ovious to me when i see anyone from either party leadership talk that they think... They know that the american people as a whole are stupid! They act as though we cant handle truth. Like it will cause a panic with ebola. That we wont do anything about the boarders, health care, their lack of getting most anything done. They know if they are out of power now they will be back in power in 4-8 yrs. that both parties are close to the same when it comes to leadership and the sheep will follow.

I am sick of it!

Please look past their lies and speak up!
Correction, they do not Think we are stupid, they Know we are. I am not sure unless something really Big happens that they will ever wake up. Sad commentary on us as Advanced People, but unfortunately it is still true.

Speak for yourself, I doubt you are, but you are not the only one here that sees what is very wrong with our "society", there are Cons and Libs here that see it. Problem is there is little you or anyone else can do to actually change it and if you tried.............well we will miss ya

Honey, if you don't know to stay at home while sick to avoid spreading illness, maybe you do need to be told what to do.

You bet they think the public is stupid. Look at Obama, lie after lie after lie, and still these fools elected
him a second time. He's the gimmie president. How about Biden ? If brains were paper, he wouldn't have
enough to wipe his as-.

Common sense went out of style right after WW2 and (just like the steamboat) it's not coming back. PC
is the new game, and, if you don't buy it, you must be racist........
