Oh my.
Disclosure: franksolich has always found the lace-hankies, high-button-shoes, canopied-bed, frilly-curtained large-proboscised primitive wonderfully amusing, which might or might not distort an objective presentation of him.

How did insanity in America become "normal."
In my opinion, most of us have never been rocket scientists, but neither have we been ignorant sheep who "followed orders".
However, another factor seems to have crept in. I never believed that most Americans were intellectually deficient, or just plain stupid. But in our current election cycle, it seems to me that far too many have totally lost it.
I don't know whether they've fallen for the ongoing propaganda spouted by Limbaugh, Fox "News," or the TV ads being thrown at all of us by unknown wealthy groups who we don't know, can't name, and whose motives have nothing to do with the well being of you, me, or this country.
At present, the political polls tell us we are screwed beyond repair.
But there's one thing they aren't taking into account. What if all of us sane people show up on election day and blow the maniacs to hell? Please, allow me to be optimistic for just a moment and hope that this happens.
There are more of US than there are of THEM. Let's vote and crush their demented dream of political/religious/thought-control domination.
The bottom line here is that our country is teetering on the verge of fascism, or perhaps worse. There are those who lived back in the 1930s and 1940s who didn't think that such things could happen until they ended up in "shower rooms" that delivered gas instead of water.
As a grandchild of such people, don't become victims. And to anyone who thinks I'm being overly dramatic here, do you really want to wait until you yourself are in some modern day equivalent of a "shower room" to say, "Crap, I never saw this coming."
Look around at today's America. Can you really tell me that there's not far too much irrationality, and even insanity, out there. We are living in a very grave, dangerous era. Please, please don't underestimate the outcome of where the hatred that exists today could lead us.

4. It started when Reagan closed mental hospitals and put the crazies out on the street
Check the history books.
Jimmy Carter did that, not his successor.

14. The answer is: The 24-hour news cycle
The world went to hell when we told journalists they had to report the news 24-7. After a while they just started making sh*t up.

15. Yep, hendo. I can't disagree.
And when it became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Repbulican Party, we Dems lost big time. I don't know if we'll ever recover, or manage to build a propaganda machine to neutralize them.

DUmmie rocket scientists: Anyone that can strike a match and light the fuse of a bottle rocket.

I would just love to see one of their home made rocket engines. They'd probably burn down two or three houses making the fuel.

So that's what they're attempting to do. I thought they were just mething around in the shed.

Probably didn't use enough chicken wire to go with the kerosene/jet/rocket fuel.

The paranoid delusion of simultaneously believing to be the sane one, while claiming you're just around the corner from being placed in a concentration camp and gassed, is a little much. :mental:

Quite the irony from a website that has just about every member proudly proclaim their mental illness and need for drugs/therapy.

I seriously doubt any moron from the DUmp could pull it off without burnin' his/her neighbors house down!
Besides, they all live in the paradises of the left that outlawed fireworks years ago!
ETA:
When they outlaw fireworks, only outlaws will have fireworks!
You can have my fireworks when you pry them out of my cold dead hands!
Heh!
