Is complete when they think their thoughts are their own thoughts.

But just think how easy it will be to make money off these dumb #$%'s after idiocracy really kicks in.

CNN has just gotten ridiculous. They're not even a news network anymore. I forget the dude's name now but a few days ago they had a guest who was an aid in some capacity to the Potus. He was defending certain issues in relation to the debate in a very articulate and confident manner. Jake Tapper became so frustrated with the sense he was making he completely cut him off and angrily stated to the effect, "the way this works here is I ask the questions and you give answers you don't just say whatever you want for 15 minutes."

They are building a population with a well honed sense of skepticism, although I'm sure that wasn't their intention. Some of us are just naturally skeptical.

I tried watching Laura Ingraham yesterday but her voice is like fingernails on a chalkboard. Fox is just as bad as CNN and the rest.

Anyone who has listened to Rush for any length of time has heard him put together the media montage of talking points they all parrot depending on what the given subject is. It doesn't matter what the talking point happens to be, it's verbatim from outlet to outlet. Someone is directing traffic for them. Is it brainwashing? I don't know, but their goal is to plant seeds in the mind of the ill-informed voter. They truly are fake news and they are an enemy to this country.

"Second-Handers



Isn’t that the root of every despicable action? Not selfishness, but precisely the absence of a self. Look at them. The man who cheats and lies, but preserves a respectable front. He knows himself to be dishonest, but others think he’s honest and he derives his self-respect from that, second-hand. The man who takes credit for an achievement which is not his own. He knows himself to be mediocre, but he’s great in the eyes of others. The frustrated wretch who professes love for the inferior and clings to those less endowed, in order to establish his own superiority by comparison . . . . They’re second-handers . . . .

They have no concern for facts, ideas, work. They’re concerned only with people. They don’t ask: “Is this true?” They ask: “Is this what others think is true?” Not to judge, but to repeat. Not to do, but to give the impression of doing. Not creation, but show. Not ability, but friendship. Not merit, but pull. What would happen to the world without those who do, think, work, produce? Those are the egoists. You don’t think through another’s brain and you don’t work through another’s hands. When you suspend your faculty of independent judgment, you suspend consciousness. To stop consciousness is to stop life. Second-handers have no sense of reality. Their reality is not within them, but somewhere in that space which divides one human body from another. Not an entity, but a relation—anchored to nothing. That’s the emptiness I couldn’t understand in people. That’s what stopped me whenever I faced a committee. Men without an ego. Opinion without a rational process. Motion without brakes or motor. Power without responsibility. The second-hander acts, but the source of his actions is scattered in every other living person. It’s everywhere and nowhere and you can’t reason with him. He’s not open to reason."
