I blame Bill Clinton for being the first to segment the voting market by smart and dumb, and all democrats have followed suit since, Obama more than anybody. IQ is a bell curve with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15. Thus 50 percent of all voters are below average in intelligence, and a full third are morons or worse. Ignorance follows low intelligence. All the dems have to do is sway a few just at normal and slightly above (e.g., end racism forever), and the battle is won. It's a scary situation. The American experiment cannot survive mass, unrestricted democracy.

"The American experiment cannot survive mass, unrestricted democracy."
Get out of my country. You are not worthy of American citizenship.

You make Ross' point. This is a constitutional republic.
You don't even know the country in which you live. Typical.
Stan Redmond| 11.1.12 @ 2:13PM
And the best thing is the Democrat machine STILL controls a majority of all education, mass media, and entertainment in this nation. It is not likely to change any time soon.
MTB| 11.1.12 @ 2:57PM
Reminds me of the event when people were lined up to get "Obama money." They were asked where Obama money came from. One answer: "I don't know, but I'm going to get some." Or how about the people who showed up at doctors' offices the day after Obamacare was signed into law, even though it doesn't begin to cover people until 2014. And then there was the dear lady who was at a President Obama town hall meeting shortly after his election who stood up and said, "When am I going to get my new kitchen." Someone working for his 2008 campaign obviously promised this lady a new kitchen if she'd vote for Obama (which is illegal, by the way, but obeying the law never means much to democrats, anyway).
Occam's Tool| 11.1.12 @ 5:58PM
The Democrats rely upon profound idiocy. For example, I was talking to a very bright young college student earlier this week. He was opposed to voter ID. I asked him why, since plane flight, opening a checking account, buying a beer, and, heck, getting into the Democratic national Convention all required IDs (that would have been a great idea---a bunch of Tea Party activists trying to crash the DNC and refusing to show IDs while demanding to be let in---"hey, if I can vote without an ID, why can't I get in without one? Poll Tax, Poll Tax. Damn. Moment missed. On the other hand, Tea Partiers RESPECT THE LAW AND DON'T POOP ON COP CARS.)---he really had no response to that. Poor guy.
Ted R.| 11.2.12 @ 1:23AM
You do need ID. No reason why you need a picture-ID, though. That "reform" is aimed at disenfranchising poorer, minority voters, who typically vote Democratic. You're not fooling anyone, tool.
Finzi Holst| 11.2.12 @ 2:03AM
How does a picture ID disenfranchise (Leftism alert) poorer, minority voters? It makes sure that their vote is attributed to them, and not someone else.
Neither are you fooling anyone. You want to disenfranchise the poorer, minority voter (the illegal, dead and pet ones, too) from liberty. You want to keep them in victim status, in slavery and on the Democrat plantation. You take them for granted, and some, and hopefully more and more are starting to wake up. They want to be Americans and not Hyphens.
That scares you. Be honest.

expecting honesty from a committed Prog/Lib like Teddi Ruxpin is like expecting intelligence; you're going to come up empty EVERY TIME-

Like a typical Leftist, this "Ted R" person needs not merely to tell us what he thinks, but also to tell us what WE think. It's a strange experience, debating with someone who insists that my true beliefs are something so different from what I know them to be, and chastises me for disagreeing.
But I'm used to it by now.
Albert Constantine Jr.| 11.1.12 @ 6:12PM
I believe the premise of the article was best summarized by Ronald Wilson Reagan, who once (paraphrasing) said of his opponents that the problem didn't stem so much from their ignorance as much as it was that they knew so many things that just weren't true.
Ted R.| 11.2.12 @ 1:29AM
I was going to reply to this phoned-in piece by saying that the complaint of "parasitism" goes back to the conservative opponents of democracy, in ANCIENT times. And lo, in the first couple of posts you have the usual Con complaining about democracy. Why DON'T you John Galt types just get the hell OUT of our country? Go ahead, call our bluff - we'll be just FINE without you.
Of course, come Tuesday night, you may finally get the initiative to pack up and LEAVE.
JD| 11.2.12 @ 2:13AM
You deluded fool...
What do you think has been happening all this time? Rich people move their wealth from America to Swiss accounts or the Cayman Islands. Businesses move production overseas. You morons whine incessantly about the outsourcing your policies cause. You blame it for a lot of domestic pain.
Galt's strike has been going on for decades. Unlike the world of Atlas, though, there are free places for the productive to move to. They don't need to retire to nothingness. As for your kind, you sit here and b**** and moan about the horrible consequences of their desertion, even as you tell us that you don't need them and will be fine without them?
You probably can't even see the contradiction.

Again you are making Ross' point. Thank you for coming here. It helps. We are a constitutional republic. Life, Liberty, the pursuit of Happiness.
"Declaration of Independence and our constitution do not even mentioned the word "democracy".
"Many people are under the false impression our form of government is a democracy, or representative democracy. This is of course completely untrue. The Founders were extremely knowledgeable about the issue of democracy and feared a democracy as much as a monarchy." -- Daneen G. Petersen. Fact check it, Teddy.
Actually breeding parasites is the forte of Democrats -- you know the ones in favor of slavery, who opposed Lincoln, who fought against Civil Rights legislation, who seek to divide and conquer, who hyphenate rather than unite, the race baiters, those who exploit those of whom the take advantage, those who oppress others as a pretext for more centralized power and control, those who manipulate the useful idiots such as yourself: the inchoate, perpetual teenagers, who neither know how to win, or lose nobly, who have never been taught the hard lessons of competition, who have sought to be protected from the realities of life, who prefer to live in perceived reality, who riot and have tantrums when they are defeated by others who know what they stand for and who live by a higher common sense.
Prepare yourself for the hangover on Wednesday, but have the courtesy to whine and whinge into your pillow.
spike59| 11.2.12 @ 5:43AM
perhaps you were out with some 'girl complaint' back in ELEMENTARY SCHOOL when the rest of us learned that this is NOT a 'democracy', but a 'Constitutional Republic'
stupid Democrat; but i repeat myself
