And GOP idiots elected the Colonel Idiot to rule the devastating 8 years before the "Major Idiot." If the GOP idiots don't wake up we will next have a Brigadier Idiot to finish the burial of liberty.

Hi H2:
Don't forget who they elected as mayor of NYC.

They are already captivated... actually enchanted might be a more descriptive term ;^)

Oh, I think they know. They just don't agree. They have NO interest in individual freedom, or being in charge of their own destiny. They actually fear living in a society or community of freedom where someone besides themselves has ideas different than theirs.

They can't be taught to respect freedom, theirs and particularly others. The thing to remember is that they've always been with us and will remain so. Those of us that respect freedom must continue to ridicule them and their philosophy of togetherness, love for everybody and every life, and their anti-human Gaia worship.

They are indeed dangerous, particularly if given any kind of credibility. It's not so much that our philosophy is so much better (though they are), but that theirs are so ridiculous and inane, and everywhere and every time they've been tried, they've failed and resulted in tremendous numbers of death and poverty.

RIGHT!
They have no concept of what freedom truly entails.

The ending of Ex Machina left me in awe.

Brian: You've got to think for yourselves!

Crowd (in unison): We've got to think for ourselves!

In my opinion, the media starts the stupid trends.

Whether its social media or conventional media they all need something to "report" on. When stories are slow in coming they have never been above manufacturing their own stories and trends out of whole cloth if necessary.

The the people pile on to be "in"

I think shameless steps in a lot earlier than that Herb. Look at any politico. They aren't all stupid, but they all seem to be shameless.
