Conspiracy or not ( I deny any conspiracy, personally...) I still lay the blame on my fellow citizens for being so weak minded.
I reached critical mass on this about 2 weeks ago. The crying, the finger pointing, the lying. Listening to side conversations at work and elsewhere. People want universal healthcare... people wan the war to end, illegals are just poor people trying to make it. The list goes on and on.
It sickens me listening to these people, every word they utter is a direct quote from a MSM evening newscast, whether it be Fox or CNN.
I personally don’t think most of them are totally void of intelligence, I think they are too damn lazy to think. Too lazy to look over history. Too lazy to look at statistics (unless some newscast analyzed it for them).
I started to take a look at my own philosophies and wondered if I really WAS wrong.
Then my dad looked me in the eye and said (and this is a direct quote) “Are you stupid?”
That kind of put it all back into perspective for me. I ran the numbers again (metaphorically speaking) and yes, I’m convinced I am right. I’m convinced my fellow Americans aren’t paying attention, not doing their part. They are taking the path of least resistance, the path to entitlements, the path toward the “we are the world” crowd, higher taxes and as a country, global “sissy” status. I wonder if Mcarthy was right after all...
I think, how dare these people who call themselves Americans, try to rewrite the constitution to fit their own personal agendas. The phrase “the common good” echos in my head, bringing on a sickening feeling.
I guarantee few if any of them (my so-called fellow citizens) have ever visited Arlington and viewed it as was originally intended, lived a single moment for the sacrifices it represents. A single visit to that site solidified my views as an American, it made me proud, not ashamed. It made me feel strong, not weak. I realized a level of respect I had never felt before.
Now I look around me and listen to people talking about how America is a nation of bullies, killing people in the east for oil, for Cheny, for contracts... then I get angry.
I know I ramble, but there are so many points to be made, I could write a book.
Needless to say, I have joined in the “suicide voter” pact. I’m fed up with voting for people who put a “R” on their ticket and run. They know nothing about conservatism outside of how to oppose the basic premise itself. Our lawmakers have squandered and destroyed the chance they were given and tainted the name of the Republican party, most likely permanent damage.
I will vote democrat ever time from here on out until my party starts nominating true conservatives. This country is going to have to visit rock bottom before recovery begins, and the faster we get there, the faster that recovery will take place. Give me a good reason to vote republican, and I will. It is no longer a guarantee by default.
So Hillary, congratulations, the republic party and the sheep I live with sold my vote to you. I hope you abuse your authority to it’s highest level, we expect no less.

This is a long read but it really is a very well considered explanation of why liberals hate our country. And yes they do hate our country and this speech explains exactly why.

As an aside; I agree with not voting for RINOs but I don't see why you would vote for Democrats. Apart from deciding who holds office votes are used as opinion polls. Vote 3rd party or write in for the most conservative choice and let that speak for you. Just MNHO
