“Lenin called them "useful idiots", those people who lived in liberal democracies and who, by giving moral and material support to a totalitarian ideology, in effect weaved the rope that would hang them . Why people who enjoyed freedom and prosperity worked passionately to destroy both is a fascinating question, one that remains with us today." ~ Professor Bruce Thornton, Cal State Fresno. I rarely watch TV, other than sporting events; I don't it serves a painful medium that has so willfully harmed our beloved America and continues to do so with amoral programming and station-to-station misinformation called network news The other night, I was channel surfing during a break on "Monday Night Football." , I came across "Boston Legal" just in time to hear one of the characters calling those Americans who didn't vote for Barrack Hussein Obama idiots! minds of the smug fools of Hollywood, the most dysfunctional community on the planet. If you think about it, it makes perfect sense that a bunch of modern-day useful idiots, effeminate snobs who spend their lives peddling style over substance, are in love and vote for Obama, the quintessential embodiment of style over substance. Oh yes, we are the idiots, not the histrionic Oprah Winfrey, the orgasmic Chris Mathews, the incomprehensible chatterbox Sean Penn nor the bile-spewing Jeremiah Wright and Keith Olberman. No, we are idiots because we love America and the ideals that have made it strong. We are idiots but they are the intelligentsia because they had the vision to let themselves be guided by a media devoid of any objectivity. Only they saw the wisdom of appeasing a European faction that hates Am... middle of paper... it's the same global world of financial equality imagined by Karl Marx. Idiot that I am, I consider it inconsistent with our freedom to pursue life, liberty and happiness, and I see the same philosophy that destroyed the Soviet Union and caused Europe to be awash in a sea of ​​rights and mired in a socialist swamp. I'm clearly too stupid to understand how this will be good for America and its citizens, maybe Charlie Gibson can explain it to me. © Peter J.
