Two reasons:

1. Failure to articulate a coherent and sensible alternative to socialism;

2. The communist media/entertainment propaganda complex.

Right now, the average American doesn’t really know what they want. They really don’t have the inclination to intelligently sift through the issues. They also don’t have the backbone to make a hard decision and say “No” to people who want candy land, ham trees, 0bamaphones and a consequence free lifestyle. Other than that, they only know they don’t like what they have now, and are tired of being lied to.

Never before have the American people been so lost, and in so need of a clear vision that they can rally around. Unfortunately, we have been so balkanized into separate special interest groups, I don’t know that we can ever come together again as American.

Spot on !!!!

There’s an indifference in the middle that seems to be solely focused on what they DO NOT LIKE.

Their opinions have been formed by the media/entertainment complex and reinforced by “peer-pressure”.

It’s an easy way out for them. They just fall in line so they won’t be perceived as “Haters” or “Judgmental”.

It is my contention that a conservative or even a republican candidate, would win easily if they focus their message on just a few issues.

1. NSA spying.

2. IRS targeting

3. Big Government is a threat.

4. 0bamacare

5. “I just want to be left alone”

AMEN AMEN AMEN!

Until the US figures itself out and goes in a direction and decides to do the hard work needed, we’re not going to go anywhere, much less be respected on the world stage.

This is why we aren’t being treated with the respect we think we deserve and why things aren’t moving as they should. We’re a stagnate mess because too many people are looking to be taken care of.
