When everything is false? You do know who wins when the bad guys (and perverts like Bill Clinton) can convince everybody that "everyone does it",

This is a logical result of the way in which our democratic society is organized. Vast numbers of human beings must cooperate in this manner if they are to live together as a smoothly functioning society. ...In almost every act of our daily lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons...who understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses. It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind.”

Naw ... I'd call them unpatriotic, self loathing American "takers."

I think brain washing, propaganda, spinning or whatever you want to call it has become very advanced. The techniques of twenty years ago are primitive by today's standards. By using flash polling and focus groups combined with an increased understanding of how people come to believe what is true and what is not, today's leftist politicians have gained the ability to destroy the country in plain sight of the voters without any fear of being voted out of office.

It is mind boggling that Obama can say there is no spending problem when we are obviously in the process of spending ourselves into a complete collapse. He's able to get away with this insane position because the people are being psychologically manipulated.

"a balanced approach" "sensible gun laws" what do these two phrases mean? Nothing or anything. It depends on what you think but you are never supposed to ask what the speaker thinks. Just like Obama, the perfect empty suit candidate. He never declares what he is so he can be anything to anyone. "Hope and change" Drink the Kool Aid.
