Judy Woodruff on PBS NewsHour has been doing a series, 'America at a Crossroads.' She's been interviewing Republican voters in Iowa; these folks are .... I hate to say it but, pathetic. Brainwashed by Fox News and fear-mongering Republican candidates, they just sound so stupid, regurgitating the crap they hear. It's sad; these are nice people but there's no independent thought, no discernment. Just Blah, blah, blah. I blame our lousy education system. We don't teach Civics or how to diagram an argument. NY Times has a great article on guns and how fear-mongering increases gun ownership and guess what? In the neighborhoods where guns are purchased, crime goes up! People start stealing the guns from each other.

The rich have worked very hard to loot our national wealth the last 60 years or more with the Vietnam war, free trade, buying up both parties, trickle down theory, using immigrants to bust unions legal and illegal, capitalist healthcare, offshore banking, corporate welfare, political obstruction, bank bailouts, interest on the national debt they created and much more. And they sure as hell don't want to give it back! I've got mine and screw you is their motto. It is about what is best for the rich, not for the poor people's common good. Take food away from humans and they will turn into an angry mob. Then you can call them a communist mob! The poor, the old and the disabled will be sorted out and left to die somewhere. So much for being pro-life. The Trump supporters will find out that that includes them as well. Only educating the Republicans to this fact will keep them from voting Republican. We must deprogram and re-educate the non-critical thinkers, real fast, in terms that they understand. The only way to reach them is with television commercials and we better get busy!
