Is America Becoming Willfully Ignorant?

[The T]

None of you RW MFers answered ONE of the questions in my OP.

I wonder why.

Effin pissaunts.

^Prime example of why people like you, your Messiah, and the Statist/Progressive Democrats are losing. Please continue your belittling.

And the MFer STILL DIDN'T answer a single question.

Defense, defense, defense!

Toast I say....TOAST!

Keep going. DIG that hole.

Yes we are becoming willfully ignorant more and more. For instance, it was eight years of Bush bullshit that led this country to debt and a huge deficit (So the Dim solution is to double down on the Bush debt? Spend $800 billion we don't have on a stimulus that hasn't worked, didn't keep unemployment below 8%, and now we learn from Barry boy that shovel-ready jobs were a myth all along. Add to that two consecutive budget deficits in excess of a TRILLION dollars each and a third one coming in the '11 budget year.) and because the shit hasn't disappeared in two years everyone wants to blame Obama's policies, which isn't the fault. Now, they think the solution to end the problem is by electing shitheads from the same party who's policies precipitated and started this financial crisis and deficit bullshit. Whats even more fucking funny is that the Republicans have no solution to fix the fucking problem other than blurting the same tired old bullshit about introducing tax cuts(without knowing how to pay for them) and cutting spending which are both vague and non specific.

Wow, how stupid can they be, huh? I suggest they shelve all that rhetoric and just come up with a couple of flashy words to run on instead. Like HOPE and CHANGE maybe?

Face the facts. You clowns in just two short years have stepped in it big time. You've got representatives and senators all over the country running on anything and everything but what they voted on since boy wonder came to town. Gee, why would that be? As a result American voters are set to kick their worthless asses out in a couple of weeks. So, yeah, carry on with your b.s. You're right in step with your inept leader and his fools in D.C. marching inexorably toward the Nov. 2nd cliff. Have a nice fall. We'll be with you in spirit, laughing at you all the way down.

Straw arguments do not mean much. Insults do not favor your position either.

But you did bring fiction to the discussion. I wasnt aware debate centered on fiction.

MFer See we can all play.

Republicans had everything they wanted for 6 years and what do they have to show for it? Let me guess, Obama's 2 years is equal to Republicans rule for 6 years.

Look at this awesome economy! Isnt it wonderful all these jobs being created from those tax cuts? Wasnt that war awesome? It only took us a few weeks like Bush and Rummy said it would didnt it?

They ran all of Washington and have nothing to show for it but complaints that Repubs werent doing it right, but...vote them in this time, they promise to fix it this time. Pinky Swear.

But here is the best thing about it, Repubs are most likely going to get their wish and win one of the houses. Great, now you share the blame instead of standing on the sidelines complaining.

Just ran across an interesting video that is eerily very much like actual candidates that are running around now.

Why are people so angry so fast? When has being angry ever HELPED with decision making? Why is the average person so ignorant on so many important issues?

Which candidate(s) does this remind you of?

If this keeps up...America is truly lost.

Get fucked long enough and you get angry. Now you got a joker in office who got everyone all fired up with positive change and came in and delivered a boat load of the same.

 

[Spoonman]

It's tanking even worse, with no end in sight. Obama is too feckless to do anything about it but bitch about his revolution.

Asswipe, you don't lie and complain that "because he's tanking the economy and not fixing it" when the economy HAS BEEN steadily tanking under a previous administration with not a peep from the folks who are bitching, wailing and moaning all of a sudden.

It just doesn't work t hat way.

Yea, but the previous administration did throw nearly a trillion dollars at it to get it to tank.

 

[Soggy in NOLA]

Perhaps Barry Soetoro can just declare Americans "too dumb to vote" and we can put an end to this nonsense coming about in three weeks.

Problem solved.

This isn't news, Americans became willfully ignorant way before then, but in this modern age, any country that re-elects George W. Bush and gives rightwing extremists like Teabaggers any legitimacy is not just willfully ignorant but also borderline insane. Voting for change and changing allegiance when it doesn't come fast enough is not a sign that the current regime is wrong after two years, its shows a lack of patience and perseverance. Did African Americans willfully go back to being slaves when change did happen fast enough after the abolition of slavery? No, we fought well over 100 years and counting till this day, we didn't willfully go back to slavery and we didn't willfully go back to wanting segregation, the people that flock to the Tea baggers are just a bunch of weak hearted monkeys.

Post of the Thread!

I'm not buying it.

The anger seems to be directed SQUARELY at Obama.

That's not plausible or acceptable considering what it took to get there, and the public way it got there with not a peep.

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Please...Keep it up.

The people whom you wish to persuade to vote your way just love being told how stupid they are.

Yeah.....it's everyone-else's overactive-imagination, huh???

This has to be the most disingenuous post I've seen in a long time.

I'm honored.

Firstly the economy started tanking at least 2 years before President Obama took office.

Obama is free to resign, if he cannot handle the challenges of the Presidency. Did he not realize that he would need to repair a damaged economy when he took office two years ago?

I won't even bother to address the rest of your claptrap...your premise was way off.

I addressed your hack-job...won't you address mine?

Perhaps 60% of Americans secretly desire to lynch black men?

Califirnia is a stupid dipshit broad, I add my two cents in this thread and the bitch neg reps me for what, expressing my own opinion about how dumbass people are making a wrong decision? If I was an equally fucked up in the brain Republican like she was I wouldn't get neg rep from her, come to think of this shit, how many posts has she made in this thread?

Why are people so angry so fast? Because the fringes are exerting undue influence on the political system. Also, normally extreme labels are quickly attached to differing opinions.
ie. Racist, Nazi, Loon, Obamabot.

When has being angry ever HELPED with decision making? We were pretty angry after Pearl Harbor. I think it helped a great deal in that situation. Anger can be a motivator.

Why is the average person so ignorant on so many important issues? Because they are bombarded with "information" from Huffington, NYT, MSMBC and other sources which muddy the issues and facts.

It reminds me of Obama. He is using fear to motivate Democrats in the fall election. Instead it should be because Democrats did such a great job for us. That didn't happen. The President has refused to be transparent and claimed misinformation all too often. His failure to listen to Americans has made the anger worse.

They're angry because they let a bunch of fruit loops and nutjobs manipulate their minds irrespective of the facts and most of those who are angry are clueless, thats why the best they can muster and rally behind are Teabagger slogans and false accusations of socialism which they parrot from rightwing retarded monkeys who are equally as uniformed. Obama doesn't have to use "fear" to get votes, all one has to do is look at the 8 years of Bush's screw ups and multiply that by 10 fold since the Teabaggers they want to elect are even more far to the right than Bush was.

It's not that America is Becoming Wilfully Ignorant.

The real issue is that our so called Ruling Elite has become Wilfully Arrogant.

It's not good when elected representatives, including the President, disdain and condescend to their constituents, and demean their viewpoints.

Unrsurprisingly, The Masses are not amused, as will be demonstrated in high relief come November 2nd.

Ain't happening. As to the arrogance? Spot on!

You just proved my points to about 60% of this board. Thanks. Obama is afraid and he is using fear to motivate Democratic voters. It is clear in any campaign speech he has made in the last two weeks.

The only ones using fear, irrational fear at that are you rightwing retarded apes, whether its fear of a black radical president out to pay back whitey, or fear of the Muslim president who says he's Christian but isn't, fear of the socialist/communist president, I can go on and on, I have never seen Obama play that type of a fear card ever, don't throw stones from glass houses moron and don't persist with this argument because you're not going to win, not I predict 2-5 minutes after this post you're to come back and repeat the same BS without rebutting or addressing the above.
