Utah is populated by a majority of pathetically brainwashed sheep. Most of the people here admire and respect a hypocritical and dead beat Senator (Mike Lee) who defaulted on his home mortgage. The only Democrat in the Utah Congressional delegation (Jim Matheson) voted for the CR to defund Obamacare. I'm thoroughly disgusted with the way the national Democrats have allowed the extreme right to dominate and define the debate. Critical thinking is discouraged and frowned upon and nobody is willing to step forward and demand it. The Republican effort to defund and define education for the last forty years is finally coming to fruition and manifesting itself in the ignorance of the voters.
