Americans are idiots? Should we give up?
Submitted by NotOverYet on Thu, 07/17/2008 - 03:25
Good mornin yall. In response to the OP saying Americans are idiots and why should we try to educate other Americans.
No Americans arent stupid. They are misinformed. Big difference between being misinformed and being an idiot. People need to understand its all the media's fault. In my opinion its not the gubment as much as the media. They are the ones who manipulate and lie. Infact in our day its the media that makes gubment policy and not the other way round.
If anyone feels like quitting on educating Americans then heres a quote you should read
"let it not be said that no one cared, that no one objected once it's realized that our freedoms & wealth are in jeoprady"
Ron Paul

Let's put on our Mud Boots! Read cinco's post below. An excerpt-
"i pull myself slowly up the slippery bank of a muddy river that i once thought was clean. i reach back and help the next person do the same - hoping that we, together, have the sense to search for truth.
americans are not stupid. i am an american and proud of what my country is SUPPOSED TO BE - not what it has become."
It takes time and repeated contact. The folks watching Faux News 'think' they ARE becoming informed. And those Republican Party state officers 'think' they are informed because they read every little thing sent out to them by the RNC!
I, myself, learned a LOT about the war from Dr. Paul this year. I thought I was "informed"! WRONG!!
Yes most Americans are idiots when it comes to voting
They keep voting for more of the same...that is not the media's fault...The media is not holding a gun to everyone's head on election day and telling them whom to vote for...There is no excuse for being misinformed...I did my homework and researched all the candidates and their positions on the issues that matter to me for the primaries...The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results...so if you keep voting for the two party system don't expect different results....you'll keep getting more of the same. As Jay Leno once said...you get the government you deserve.
Thousands if not millions of Americans don't even know why they are voting for a particular candidate...if you want proof of that watch this

After watching that video, I challenge you to say that those people are not idiots.
When they
interviewed Dr. Paul they asked him why he didn't give up and did he get disgusted with people. The good Dr. said "I have no expectations" If we would follow the good Dr.'s advice maybe we will keep our sanity. Give people the information if they do not accept it move on and continue to prepare yourself for hard times and have fun doing it. It will help hold down the stress. Peace

I'll tell you what stupid is
Going down and spending your own hard earned money so the elites can put a digital signal inside each house. Pay for your own brain washing box and let them have digital access to your home. crazy
NO
No, No, No. God is in control, not people. Americans are disobedient to God's revealed revelation and God's natural revelation, for this, they may be stomped. Bad religion will bring bad consequences. Culture is Religion externalized.
Here is a short video to expose peoples stupidity about money.

some truth in what you say. But we also cant blame God
people should have personal responsibility and we also have a responsibility to educate them

Yes
People are responsable to obey, willingly, without coersion. People suppress the truth in unrighteousness, willingly. God is never to blame, it's His program that people must get in line with.
Culture is Religion externalized.

Americans just need more Red Pills
It's amazing how quickly people get educated once they get a dose of the truth and the outrage makes them feel the need to start learning.

Stop the NWO....It's just illumi..Naughty !
Ding! We have a winner.
All 'right-wing' talk shows talk the conservative talk because the majority of the people are conservative. They actually bait conservatives by appealing to their conservative beliefs...after awhile this gains their confidence so by the time an election comes around, they can promote a non-conservative candidate as the lesser of two evils.
So the people are already conservative. We just have to shake them out of the grips of the spin doctors. Just as people fall for all sorts of con (confidence) men, far too many people *trust* these talk/news show hosts more than their own selves. The key is to break the trust. How?
-expose the con men: each have shady ridiculous backgrounds
-teach people to research on their own
-get people to be more strong-independent-minded...debt and obesity makes people weak-dependent-minded. Empower them!
Eventually, we will have to replace the talk/new shows. The internet has come a long way in doing this with young people. We definately have to stay on that generation. But we can't really compete with talk/new shows until we start taking persception more seriously.
Frankly, our protest/rallys/etc look pretty bad. They don't motivate anyone outside Ron Paul supporters. We should definately dress up when we hit the streets. Further, becoming fit, dressing well, and having our lives in order will make us role models for others. We don't look like kooks now, but we aren't leading by example either. Finally, our talk/news shows must be done by good looking/sounding people. We don't have to hire models, but we need people who put industry-level attention to their look and sound. I'm sure those of us how can already talk the talk can clean up more than enough to compete with the right and left propagandists.
Time to get serious folks.
Ron Paul is the great uniter, the income tax fighter...
the military-supported, defender of the border...
the political apathy solution and the champion of the Constitution!
Doctor Paul is on-call!
Americans are not stupid;
Americans are not stupid; they are grossly misinformed because of the media. The National Enquirer is more relevant and factual than CBS, NBC, ABC, FOX, MSNBC, talk radio, and the newspaper conglomerates.
We are living in interesting times. Keep the faith, but develop a backup plan (re: survivalism).
SUPPORT OUR FOUNDERS' AMERICA
Support the Constitution of the United States

you state the truth, kevin...

I can't believe I'd ever say this but politically I do have respect for Mike Walker of the National Enquirer who had a talk show for a while on KABC in Los Angeles. He was highly intelligent and very pro civil liberties. I could see him voting for Ron Paul. I do not trust any of the tabloids, but if it comes from the National Enquirer, it's usually correct and it's gotten the scoop on many a big story over more...ahem... "respectable" publications.

Quoted for truth
A nation or people born with intelligence, but refuses to use that intelligence is meat on the table by chose and consent. -Illuminati.
Americans don't use brain matter, so in that respect, they're indeed dumb.
to say that americans are stupid...
as i perhaps have been guilty of either thinking or believing....
would be to draw the same conclusion of myself.
like kara walker - an artist showing currently at the modern art museum of fort worth, tx.......she, in more words than i will write here.....confuses the point of who is racist against whom? in other words.....white PEOPLE are to be blamed......never mind there are noted excepts to this "rule" with proofs from the nineteenth century showing clearly that blacks owned their own black slaves at one time or another. and often sold their kinsmen to slave ships when push came to shove....
my point? i knew you wee asking.....
a true statement of white people would not be to say that "white people hate black people". this implies there is no one like me in existence. i would say you haven't been to fort worth yet.....or been outside your home in a long while.
and just the same........a true statement of americans would not be to assign americans to utter stupidity JUST BECAUSE they have been coerced into believing a lie. anyone can be had. ANYONE.
trust me.
even you, though you readily and speedily have something to say in your defense.
while at the texas straw poll and later at the state convention last month, i frequently met with party regulars in my SD and CD who can't get past their own religions beliefs to understand my conversation about how buildings can and cannot fail......and....drum roll......please.....why 9/11 is not what they think it is - or was.
it was not stupidity that kept me from SEEING THE TRUTH OF 9/11 or from hearing DR. PAUL until may of 2007.......it was blind trust of this system we live within today. it is hope that keeps americans and their eyes forced down at the ground in front of them - not stupidity. i surely would LOVE to believe anything than what i currently do about 9/11.
i'd give many a thing to just let it all go away and disappear forever.
THAT WOULD BE STUPIDITY.
a woman in her 50's sitting next to me in houston knows nothing of not trusting her government or the readily available media...as it is not an option for her at this time....and focused solely on the narrowly divisive issues of christian vs. islamic beliefs - according to her, of course - not me thanks.......
no. americans are not stupid. ignorant? sure, in many ways. but aren't we all......even here on this forum? are you so sure that you are not???
i'm not, having lived the six years after 2001 without questioning a very simple concept - one that a high school junior could understand without delay..
many americans - like the rest of the population of humans across the globe - see their religion as fact. stupidity doesn't make this a reality.
it is their ignorance that keeps them tied to utter nonsense.
i continue to be ignorant of a great number of things, just not 9/11 or the fed or big brother or religion or even that i'm being monitored right now as a type this or that i need to take a shower soon.....yeah.....
i pull myself slowly up the slippery bank of a muddy river that i once thought was clean. i reach back and help the next person do the same - hoping that we, together, have the sense to search for truth.
americans are not stupid. i am an american and proud of what my country is SUPPOSED TO BE - not what it has become.
What a PROFOUND observation!!
You said: "i pull myself slowly up the slippery bank of a muddy river that i once thought was clean. i reach back and help the next person do the same - hoping that we, together, have the sense to search for truth.

Wow!!! What a true statement!
I have to say that after
I have to say that after witnessing the Republican State Convention..that some Americans are very stupid. Sorry but it is true. Maybe not in intellect but in behavior and their willingness to be sheep. It was one of the scariest things I have ever witnessed.
Liberty Girl
Same here
It all happens when "Being the cool Kid's" in the republican party becomes more important than what is "Right". They would sell their souls to the devil for the chance to be recognized or the chance to brag about something. Unfortunately our country has some how become a democracy over the Great Republic for which I stand, and these morons hold the majority. BUT ONLY because 95% of Americans prefer American Idol and "reality" television over REAL LIFE. What do you do? :o(
Because
even though we may not want to be heavily involved into collectivism ourselves, we are collectively involved with this nation and its runnings, which is very easily seen in what's happening to our country.
So, it is a matter of our own self-preservation to work to have an effect on the collective whole which influences our daily lives to such a large degree.
Simple as that.
By helping to "save" them, we are helping to "save" ourselves.
right on Big T. you make a good point. thnk you
giving up on your people when they need you most is the worst form of betrayal
and the worst form of torture would be us shouting to them in the streets when the depression and martial law comes "I told you so"

It is an insidious and vile plot with many tentacles.
The media, education, advertising, banking, movies and the squirrels are in on it too! Well, okay, maybe not the squirrels. They are just spying on us. All right, it is getting late. You are right, about the media, and pronunciation in regards to the word formally known as "government". Thanks for the post, and I am just kidding about the squirrels. (I have to say that, they may be listening.) Good night.
lol thnks for the laugh demolay. good night to you fellow
