I am very familiar with the dumbing down of America and the controlled media propaganda machine. As a result, I do not believe it is possible to convince a majority of Americans to accept or even understand the information you so eloquently created in your article, especially since it will require using logic &amp; critical thinking skills. These skills are virtually non-existent in a major demographic portion of the general public. The globalist elite agenda with their puppet politicians and major media minions have created several generations of mind numbed idiots incapable of critical thinking.<br /><br />They have been conditioned to respond in a similar way to Pavlov’s dog. They hear the word “racist” or some other such politically correct word and they simply respond without reason. Then we have the demographic group that is financially benefiting from the liberal agenda and to them, socialism is a panacea. The third group is not so easily identifiable. They are the “cognitive dissonance group”. The liberal agenda has been around long enough to have been adopted as a belief system by many of the middle age population. They will never admit, especially to themselves, that the belief system they have been using to direct their lives is somehow flawed. To admit their entire life has been basically a lie or misdirected is to painful to admit; therefore, they need to shield their psyche using the first phase of cognitive dissonance defense, which is denial.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
