In reply to the discussion: Grover Norquist: GOP Will Keep Obama On 'Short Leash,' Leave Him To 'Blow Up Small Countries' [View all]newspeak
(4,847 posts)45. yep, they want a very ignorant, bigoted public
so they can inform their sycophants who to vote for (against their interests), who to blame (just not who pays their checks), and who to hate (all those poor people that don't look or act like them).
and we'll send your kids to the "right" schools to teach you who to vote for, who to blame and who to hate--who needs stinkin facts. yeah, those wealthy families sure want to help america and americans-so they should pay their taxes, since most get subsidies and lucrative contracts that "we the people" pay for and keep their money in the states. right guys? you want to make sure our infrastructure doesn't fall and the well being of all americans are one of your concerns, right?
