appealing to mob mentality.....

What are the people below 'thinking', if you can call it that? We have to look at some factoids, here. The US leases resources which should belong to the government, and lets foreign oil companies drill for oil, and gets a 'royalty' on whatever they find, which is a fraction of the worth of what they do find. So does the oil go to the US government? No.... it is put on the world market, and the US ends up buying some it back at rigged rates, you should pardon the expression...

But some people just outright lie, and get the people so dumbed down, they think it is all going to them. I have learned all this via various MSNBC news shows over the past weeks, and this past week, Rachel Maddow has done some incredibly good reporting on all aspects of this.... and last night, I think she got Admiral Allen's hackles up with some very pointed questions. Till now he had been very friendly toward her, but yesterday, the temperature dropped visibly between them. She is never unfriendly, or accusing, and her questions are always on point and she is respectful. It was interesting to watch. Because she really is nobody's fool. I like her style, I really do.

The other side of the coin looks like this. Found it on Joe.My.God How easy it is to turn people into a thoughtless mob....
