You are so right. 35 percent of us filter our worldview through a logical prism, are self sufficient, and driven by personal responsibility. The rest are led like sheep. The media could care less about us. It's the elitists, the ones driven by guilt, socialists, the devotees of politically correct religion, the parasites on the public dole, and the minorities that benefit from the welfare state that are our opposition.
That's a lot of opposition. These people eat up the swill the media gives them and fully believe it. My wife is one of them.
Having a spouse that is an opposite like that can be difficult. I'm blessed with a wife who is opposite in many ways that complement me (I'm and Engineer, she's artsy), but she is with me politically and has basic common sense.
My Mother-in-Law on the other hand is one of the sheep and drives me nuts. She flip flops all the time just like John Kerry, and in the end always makes the wrong (bad) choices in life. Needless to say, we don't talk much. We just tolerate each other's presence (which is not easy)! Fortunately, she lives 120 miles away.
