Carter gets shunned for pointing out we are suffering a malaise?

How can King saying the 99% are dividing us be logical?

How can a corporate raider talk about creating jobs, and they don't laugh?

How can a man that wants the USA dissolved, run for President?

How can those calling the poor, ill and unemployed lazy and unamerican, declare ANYONE is fomenting class warfare?

How can a party that wants no commons, spout American Exceptionalism?

Jane, how do I get off this crazy thing?

2. Why are liberal protesters "lazy and shiftless" but the baggers aren't?
That's what I want to know.

3. Strictly speaking, cops make the protestors shiftless{kettling}. Adding lazy is not logical.

Marching for jobs is anything but lazy. In fact the opposite.

4. Has a lot to do with "control of the message".
The American people for decades have been conditioned extremely well by those who control the message. Republicans have mastered the art of communication via bumper sticker, factoid, news ticker, cliche or catchphrase. Granted, most, if not ALL of their sound bites are patently false and laughably faith-based and over-assumptive. Yet it doesn't matter to the lazy-minded as long as it sounds good.

It seems because of this some Americans almost go out of their way to find reasons to hate all things fair and Democratic. The Republican party appeals to their need to feel superior to someone or something, since there isn't enough of that in their controlled lives. I think that's a reason they unwittingly vote against their best interests, because they think they're not the ones that are going to get screwed. But they end up being that way every time.
