Hat Tip Michelle Malkin:
On November 4th, 2008 millions of Americans were shocked that a man of Barack Obama’s limited experience, extreme liberal positions and radical political alliances could be elected President of the United States. For many of these Americans, the explanation was rather simple… the news media, completely enamored with Obama, simply refused to do their job.
On Election day twelve Obama voters were interviewed extensively right after they voted to learn how the news media impacted their knowledge of what occurred during the campaign. These voters were chosen for their apparent intelligence/verbal abilities and willingness to express their opinions to a large audience. The rather shocking video below seeks to provide some insight into which information broke through the news media clutter and which did not.

That our nation has become a nation of political retards is no surprise. Thanks to liberal academia at least two generations of ‘dim bulbs’ have been produced in cookie cutter type schools. The proof is in the test.
Over the years since the baby boomers took control of the country man on the street tests have been given regard our history and its government. Late Baby Boomers, most of Generation X and their progeny that take part in these tests prove abysmal apropos of the above subjects. My generation and my parents generation do very well on these tests.
In the words of my favorite Democrat besides John F. Kennedy, Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan, “Liberal academia has purposely set about to dumb down America.” The better to control you my dear.
There is little doubt in my mind anymore that our country is on the cusp of collapse due to American apathy and ignorance of what is taking place in our nations capital. Yes, state and local government count but it is the federal government that is taking us down the road to perdition. Like the village in cinema, we are a “Nation of The Damned”. The proof is in the White House and in Congress pudding.
It’s still not to late to turn this around. If parents and grandparents in Hungary can burn the midnight oil deprogramming their Communist programmed offspring after the conquest in 1957, so must American parents and grandparents do the same for their offspring if they truly love them and want what is best for them.
