I got a big smile out of the article for just last night I watched a movie called "Ideocracy". It is this article put to video, with jabs at us all. We are becoming a nation of idiots who only think about themselves and are easily distracted by the slightest whim, ala Palin, Beck, TV, Prosports, and more.

I find it baffling that intelligence is denigrated for it was this intelligence that brought us the lifestyle we crave. But did we use the intelligence to benefit humankind? Keep the Opiates of the masses coming to sate the shallow, and you can get away with anything you want, for people's attention spans rival those of gnats. As Springsteen says "57 Channels and Nothing On." or better yet, Frank Zappa,"I Am the Slime on the Video, I Am the Slime on the Living Room Floor". Bread, wine, and circuses.

Convict members of the Aristocracy that owns our govt. and its minions? It was never going to happen.

Just another day in the downward slide into the cesspool for average Americans.

The self annointed ones do no wrong. Oh and aren't you just pleased as punch that they got some H1N1 vaccine.

Best Democracy money can buy. Just proved again.

We are a nation of idiots, proved daily, that worships the rich and famous. Adam Smith was also dumbfounded by this strange fact of American life 200 year ago. So am I.

What's a little torture, it has sure worked so well for us in stemming the flow of terrorists.

Just like the antirape in the contract clause that the 30 scum ridden Repugs voted against. And the DOD added a pile of stinking shit upon their rotten heads to give them cover.

Glen not believe in our legal system? For Christ's sake who can believe in it? Looked around much? Highest percentage of the population behind bars, guess who, the good ole USA, better business for the private prison owners.

And one of the above idiots questioned how he or they knew they would be tortured in Syria. Don't get out much or are they just plain stupid and can't read, see, or hear.

The judges are demons pure and simple. The Endless War will continue and it will consume us. Some dumb ass is even using the Never surrender again line, the idiot even hints at using nukes, I am sure that will win the hearts and minds. When you are commiting crimes against humanity, people outside the country tend to notice even if all too many dumb Americans don't. When we need a hand in the future, and we will, all we may get is a one finger salute.

Torture, rendition, rape, Tasers, Sonic cannons, water cannons, ah how quickly we pick up speed as we head to Dante's Inferno and the Gates of Hell.

I fear for my children.

absolute BS. The bottom line is that she was brutally raped. The above issues had no bearing on the crime that was committed. What kind of country are we? Not too good it appears if you take into consideration the vote in the Senate a couple of weeks ago about Rape clauses in contracts for female employees of multinational contractors. The simply ridiculous statements by the DOD and others about this heinous act are a crime against all our women. The 30 Republican Senators who voted against this bill for poltitical reasons only, there can be no ethical reasons, should be impeached, voted out of office or at least their wives and girlfriends should try the strategy of the Greek womenof long ago. When the Senate condones it, why would a poor street punk be expected to behave any differently? Monsters walk among us, and not just on Halloween.

David Cay Johnston gives an indepth look at the world of subsidies and corporate welfare. They far dwarf our spending on our poor and unfortunate. An our pols on both sides are owned by these interests and so give them whatever they want, so as to garner the funds to run for office, so they can garner the funds to run for office, so they can garner the funds to run for office,so they can garner the funds to run for office,and there is little thought of the common people of our country or the health of our nation as a whole. Best Democracy money can buy!!

Remember when our retired generals just played golf, politicians out of office were Wise Elders, and prostitutes were a disreputable term for the ladies of the night?

Now the generals and polticians are the prostitutes, they screw people for money.

And the Supreme Court is making sure they can cash in bigger each day.

They have failed our country for decades, are failures in every venue, and have caused our Govt to be denigrated and reviled, and have caused the failure of our Govt by their underhanded and deceiful tactics. Every chance we get we should rub their noses in these facts. Idiots is too nice a term for these unpatriotic, antiamerican, enemy supporting dolts.

On the point of the Nobel Prize, yeah a little early maybe. But those sneaky, underhanded Scandinavians may have an agenda, World Peace. To promote this they granted the prize to Obama to enhance his standing in the world, give him credibility, and give sanity a chance. Gotta watch those sneaky peaceniks.

And use Religion as a tool to keep the masses in line. Comes from Leo Straussian theory. Works like a charm and it is the trump card in debates and discussions. Uber Trump, Jesus made me do it. What drivel. Most established religions are corrupt for they have only their own ends in mind. That's why most of our founding fathers were deists, believing in God but not in established religions concocted by men (they threw the women out).
