No kidding, when I first looked at it, my dyslexia grabbed two letters that stood out, and I thought it said FU.

Sorry. I forgot the NOT. Most people are NOT great thinkers.

I think it's more psychological than intellectual.  Plenty of smart people just want for things to be what they wish / hope for them to be.  To the point that they fool themselves into thinking / saying just that, even though it's false and their cognitive self knows it.  But they cling to the childish, dopey hope, and fall for everything.

Hope & change, lol  ?  The real leftists don't account for Obama's elections.  It's mostly at the feet of decent dems, black people, hispanics, traditional liberals, white-guilt-GOP and Jews.....who wanted so badly to believe all the Obama BS and FBP siren song.  Of course, somehow, ignoring that it's ALWAYS horseshit, every time, whether the Clintons, Carter, Kerry-Fonda, Chamberlain-Hitler, etc.

But that is kinda my point. If you are so easily manipulated you aren't that smart. I don't care about your IQ. I don't care if you are a rocket scientist or brain surgeon. If you can't spot lies and deception you aren't that smart.

In my 46 years I've come to realize their are two types of intelligence. One seems to know a lot of stuff. The other seems to know a lot about people. I know a guy who works where I work. He is pretty slow. A dimwit you might say. But he can see right through obama. Sometimes he says things that just blow you away.

And I have known highly educated & successful people who could not drive a stick or change a flat tire or swap out a toilet or load a bb gun if their lives depended on it (And they are clueless to the danger that surrounds them on a daily basis in life)

Hmm... She must be White.   

Either that or her governor declined the Medicaid expansion that would have covered her.

But hey, she's not the states problem anyway. Someone should tell her to get a job or find local charity or a church. Otherwise she just wants FREE STUFF!

Leftists are so deceitful in everything they do.

Obamacare has nothing to do with healthcare.

The NAACP has nothing to do with helping blacks.

The feminist movement does nothing for women.

Social security has nothing to do with security.

There are many more examples I'm sure. Everything they do is done to advance leftist ideology and government control. They are just so skilled at presenting their agenda as compassionate. They have done such a great job of demonizing all alternatives. And the fact is most people are NOT great thinkers. They just live their lives and feel what they feel and mistakenly believe that people are basically good at heart.

It's so hard to unlock peoples brains. They hang on the one good thing about idiotcare. The pre-existing conditions part. It doesn't take a 3000 page bill to allow for pre-existing conditions. What was in the rest of the 2999 pages?

Welcome to the forum.  You're starting off with a good 'un.  Just go ask Nancy Ugliosi what's in the bill, she'll stagger something out!  (Pass it so we can find out what's in it).  She's soooooo Dumbshitsky but she knows everything.

Obamacare isn't a state program, it's a federal program.  It was deliberately written in a way to force the states to pick up the bill for all those uninsured poor people, that's why they set the income limits where they did.  Unfortunately for those brilliant Harvard grads, they weren't as smart as they thought they were. Obamacare has cost a lot more than they projected.  The whole thing was a scam from the beginning.  Haven't you heard any of the John Gruber tapes?
