PittsburghThoughts

Rachel slaps em down but like an evil "Rocky" they stagger to their feet expecting the other side to throw the fight,

Not a big surprise or even a small one but I've given up on the human race. Oh, individuals are fine for a while until they get under your skin but groups are so bound by "group think" that they negate their own purposes and then have to make personal concessions so that they can live within their group hypocrisy.

A big, for instance, jumps right out at me; all those supposed grass roots organizations that the conservatives or whatever they are like to tout as sprouting from the ground up.

The theory being; people are so tired of the status quo, or so afraid to change the status quo, they will unite around either some charismatic leader or political idea being purposed by less than charismatic followers. Surely, get enough people in a room, vocal and irrepressible, and the ones that haven't made up their minds, or are even opposed to the propositions being put forth, will feel a certain pressure to join the throng. The rest like drawing little Hitler moustaches.

We have millions of empty drums pounding themselves in an effort to express their frustration at the expense of the other 98% of their brain. Here's a perfect example that I watched unfold last night. This man, Tim Philips, is not one iota short of having the chutzpa of a holocaust denier.

Summation: We are grass roots even though we start from the top down and use the American people to fight for rich people's interests at the expense of their own, and "Yes, we can fool all the people all the time."
