I Still Get to Watch Stupid Ignorant Americans Get What They Deserve

[JenaS62]

I've not heard a single candidate (other than RP) tell us exactly how they plan to "fix" the economy. In the mean time, we have Bush telling everyone that he is optimistic about our economy. I guess I too harbor these feelings that if Americans vote for one of the CFR puppets who refuse to acknowledge the real problem with our economy - then we get what we deserve.

Yes, lots of Americans are ignorant or worse, willfully ignorant, but let's remember we're all in the same boat here. If the dollar crashes and burns, most of us will be in big trouble, ignorant or not.

That said, I feel like I'm taking crazy pills sometimes when I talk to people about what's going on with our country. Even my most simplified argument of "We won't have money to fight terrorists if the dollar crashes" is lost on most people....

I agree. It is so frustrating.

The ones who most bother me are the very ones who DO watch the debates, who DO know of Dr. Paul or have heard of him but instead of researching him they write him off or ridicule him. Many people are making a choice to ignore him. Others have never heard his name and tuned out long ago because they lost hope- THEY are the ones we need to clue in.

I suppose I'm entertained with the spectacle of it all. Much like being entertained with the orchestra playing while the Titanic sank.

Great post.

About sums it up.

It is unfathomable to me that any American does not want what Ron Paul will do for our country.

"Do you NOT want your hands cut off ?"

"I do NOT want my hands cut off."

"Vote Ron Paul then."

(Sound of Sheep)

What about making and airing ads in local papers on how stupid US citizens are. That the candidates aren't at fault as much of the dummies that vote are, Something like showing sheep going blissfully of a cliff in blind stupidity. Don't attack the candidates but show how stupid the brainwashed are so it becomes a bad thing to be not to be informed. Just a weird idea.

Why should the critical thinkers among us, have to suffer for the decisions of the majority who live in a dream world. It's that whole "Power of Positive Thinking " fantasy land that they created that is responsible for our destruction. It's like, Oh just ignore the unpleasant news, it will go away. I never bought into that crap. I enjoy living in the real world, even as shitty as it is.

Believe me I am reveling in watching the the downfall of those fantasy world thinkers. The more that go bankrupt the better. Wake up. Money doesn't grow on trees. Actually it comes from trees and the supply is limitless, which is how they think and is why we are in the mess were in. Fine, enjoy your poverty.

The bottom line is anyone who votes for a candidate without fully researching them and the others is a moron. It's that simple. If RP loses, the country full of morons will get what they deserve.

Any body else have any laughable consequences of Americans getting what they deserve for their willful ignorance?

Yes Sir, I do. Here it is:

John McCain will represent the Republican party as a "conservative" candidate for their nominee for the office of President of the United States of America.

And if that doesn't get you rolling, Hillary Rodham Clinton (of Whitewater, Vince Foster, Chinese Government campaign contributions in brown paper sack fame) will represent the Democrats as their "Agent of Change" as nominee of their party for the office of President of the United States.

 

[nbhadja]

Lol I find it funny to see the morons suffer after electing their "dream" president.
Maybe I'm evil, oh well. They elected who they wanted.

Because we've never had a Clinton or a Bush in the whitehouse. Clinton will be a big change from the presidents of the last 20 years.

They should really hook politicians up to polygraph tests whenever they speak in front of an audience.

It's my understanding that most (maybe all?) loans have a clause in them, that allows them to be called in and forced to be paid in a very short time if the loan company wishes to. It seems that a lot of people will be in trouble if that happens. I.E. Mortgages, student loans, car loans, etc. So this isn't just about subprime housing loans if the string pullers wish to screw us.

Correct me if I am wrong.

My ancestors were among the first settlers of the US. I would like to see something good come of their work, because the people we're up against have a lot of power. There is this conspiracy to move toward one-world government.

Look how they have treated third world countries who have opposed their will: environmental and economic savagery, famine, disease (man-made as well as the result of deplorable living conditions.) There will be nowhere to hide from them, if the human race doesn't die out due to their absolute contempt for life.

People don't seem to get how serious this is, but Ron Paul is being attacked from every side. He doesn't seem to know what he's doing. It is hard to wake people up when they are constantly lied to on every media source they've been conditioned to trust. Their experience has not shown them that they should question everything they are told. It is important that people communicate with one another, because at least it keeps your curiosity alive.

I will miss them.

The ultimate fun will be to watch Countrywide go bankrupt, and Fanni May and Freddi Mac go bankrupt.

The homes that get foreclosed just go back to the Countrywide etc and they get to sell it again, then the Countrywides may even get sometype of bailout. They don't lose the people that lost their house and ruined their credit lost, in the long term Countrywide will profit.

There was a reason they allowed the subprime variable mortgage rates, just think who will be profiting from them in 10 years, don't just look at the immediate data.

Like Nader's dad says, "Why will capitalism always survive? Because socialism will always be there to bail it out".

I'm American... I dont consider myself stupid. Many countries have stupid people, US is no exception. But we are still faring better than many other European countries.

And what European coutnry would that be? Not going "3rd world" here.

UK? France? Spain? Your missing the point, Europe is going up, US is sinking down to hell. Just look at your dollar

There is only one thing to blame. American ignorance.

Only in the US I see idiots at political debates clapping for both opponents even if they have opposite conflicting view points. I think there must be a "clap now" sign flashing to tell the idiots. No other explanation

Before I learned about Dr. Paul 8 months ago, I took great pleasure in following the real estate bubble and the subsequent bust. I knew the dot-com bubble would burst and I knew the mother of all housing bubbles would burst, and I was taking great pleasure in seeing stupid Americans finally getting what they deserved.

When I first discovered Ron Paul, I thought there might be hope for our condemned society, but that's not what the ignorant people want. They don't deserve a man like Dr. Paul. I still support him till the end, and at least I can say I tried to help get us out of the mess we're in for.

At least I can still take great pleasure watching stupid Americans get foreclosed on in record numbers. I am laughing at watching household wealth destruction occurring on a massive scale with falling home prices. Autos being repossessed and credit card delinquencies soaring. Over 200 mortgage companies going bankrupt since the beginning of the year and tens of thousands of jobs lost. Massive amounts of people in the construction trades out of work and selling their tools to pawn shops just so they can eat. They deserve it for being so ignorant.

The silver lining is, hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens out of work. Hopefully they will self deport.

Any body else have any laughable consequences of Americans getting what they deserve for their willful ignorance?

I kinda agree with the core of what you are saying but the American people deserve a bit more sympathy than that because the media, the education system and the political system has been designed to deprive these people of the nous to make well informed decisions about such things. Did you ever get taught economics in school? Did anyone teach you how to be sensible with money? The entire education system is designed to doom people.

It's an identical situation here in the UK

People are far too busy watching 300 channels of crap on TV or spending money that doesn't belong to them on credit cards in blissful ignorance.

Just a brief analogy here.

I went to university as a mature student when I was 32 years old. On the first day at university, the banks recruited pretty girls and attractive guys to peddle credit cards to the new students offering the first 50 quid free.

These are 18 year old kids who know nothing about economics, money, debt and they are living away from home for the first time. Their parents have all grown up under the same insane system.

LAMBS TO THE SLAUGHTER

So, be a little kinder to the ignorant American people. It really ain't their fault. Just do whatever you can to educate your own kids and anyone else you can about the perils of debt based currency
