		<description>It really is sad.  I know I teared up at the end there, because I know so many Americans, and especially Obots, are just THAT out of it.  It&#039;s sad because we know so much more about everything that went down, and it&#039;s like ya can&#039;t even talk to these people to explain because they won&#039;t get it.

Gawd, and they just expose themselves to one sided media outlets--all saying the same thing to them.  

ughhhhh.

Media tricked sooo many people.

Do you think, one day, we will all be vindicated?  I think there&#039;s bound to be backlash, and a wake up call to this country.  

It&#039;s sad.  I don&#039;t trust the media or government anymore--at all. And the American people?  Fools galore.  Can&#039;t stand any of it.</description>

		<description>I agree AnninCA; a lot rides on &quot;belonging&quot; and &quot;being accepted&quot; and they are so caught up on this that they completely shut off their brains to look into or read anything &quot;the outsiders&quot; say.</description>

		<description>Under our Constitution there are no provisions for creating new religious courts.  In fact, any religious intrusion in government is unconstitutional.  And someone with expertise in international banking needs to look into the financial restrictions of investments with foreign religious groups who have threatened the United States.   

And I paraphrase Patrick Henry here; I know not what course others may take but I will not live under Sharia law in the country my forefathers fought and died to free from foreign interference.  And we need to know now what allegiance to what country and what religious law Mr. Soertoro, aka Barack Obama, has pledged himself to.  Before December 15, 2008.</description>

		<description>Much as I personally never cared for Nancy
Reagan, she is a President&#039;s wife and quite
an elderly person.

0Zero, as usual, DISRESPECTED an older WOMAN!!
Even if what he said was true, he should have
not mentioned this about her AT ALL.

Plus, and this is IMPORTANT, 0Zero knows NOTHING
of HISTORY and certainly is too LAZY to ever
check his facts before he blurts out his
DRIVEL.....</description>

		<description>Anytime I see people using a credential to &quot;prove&quot; intelligence,&quot; I know I&#039;m talking to someone who looks at image and that&#039;s it.

Bright shows through how someone puts together their ideas, thoughts, etc., and requires no outside validation.

Education IS great.  I&#039;m all for it.  But it&#039;s not everything.</description>

		<description>Most people don&#039;t really think too much.  They adopt an image.  Their lives are made up of choosing houses, wives, political parties, jobs, degrees, and even the way they talk by modeling after some image.

There&#039;s not really any doubt about this.  Look at the number of non-cooks who want professional kitchens.  LOL*

Ditto for their political identities.  Palin has to be a Barbie.  Fey said so, right?

How uncool would it be to admit that she&#039;s charming, bright, and even reasonable even though she&#039;s a member of a church that seems very fundamentalist?  That would require thinking outside of stereotypes!

Unsafe!  Might not be liked!  

Most people can&#039;t stand not being one of the herd.</description>

		<description>They tried to use that against 0bama, but it didn&#039;t work.

Also, the age of the Internet and computers have greatly influenced the way young people study. Students COPY &amp; PASTE their assignments all the time, buy term papers online and other such stuff. It&#039;s hard to keep track because there&#039;s so much info and so easily accessible.

The new generation doesn&#039;t see it as a problem. Unless you steal something outright and publish it and make money, it&#039;s not a big deal to people.

Being from a different generation, I don&#039;t get it.</description>

		<description>Still defending Soertoro, Justin?  Don&#039;t you ever wonder why &quot;the one&quot; still takes up so much of your time defending his faux pas?  Are you ever going to get any time off or get a promotion to a cubical or are you chained to a keyboard for the next four years?</description>

		<description>Well, there&#039;s no question that the Bush factor &lt;strong&gt;GREATLY &lt;/strong&gt;influenced this election. I went through similar discussions with my husband. He kept insisting that there was no alternative but to vote BO.

One of the things that angered me about this election was how so many of the same people who gave us Bush, were bound and determined to do penance by voting 0bama.

It never occured to them that if they voted for Bush, their judgement should be called into to question.

Still, I agree with the basic point of the post. Frankly, I personally know more people who fit the profile above who were absolutely clueless. 

It&#039;s amazing how many uninformed people there are in America and how they simply don&#039;t care that they are.</description>

		<description>No one may want to talk about it but it is in the history books for all to read.  And there is always the Nuremnburg trial record to give us the unpleasant details.

We have two kinds of people in this country; the Ostrich People who bury their heads in the sand and the curious people with their necks stuck out.  We had the same thing during the Revolutionary War; the Tories who liked the British ways and all those discontented rebels like Adams, Jefferson, Franklin, Paine, Henry and so many, many more who stuck their necks out to &quot;create a more perfect union&quot;.  And I do not believe we are going to let the Ostrich people take away what those founding fathers built with the sweat and blood of our forefathers. That is my hope.</description>
