I've finally come to the conclusion that Americans despise being happy and secure...
Yep, it must be true...











I've thought it over day and night, mulled over it with many a hot cup of tea (I'm having one right now). I've looked at it frontways, sideways, backways, aboveways, belowways and diagonally... So it must be absolutely true; Americans despise being happy and secure, as well as despise seeing other people happy and secure too.

So, how did I come to this awful epiphany?

I asked myself one simple question and came to the only obvious conclusion:



















I asked myself WHY does this country continually lower itself to ELECT GODDAMNED REPUBLICANS TO PUBLIC OFFICE?



Yeah... I know, it MUST be the ONLY answer!

1. Until Americans realize that being happy and secure
can only come from within ones self, I believe a large portion of the population will always vote out of fear.

4. Me too. Lots of alcoholics, gambling addicts, drug addicts, food addicts, you name it....
I think if we were to do some survey of the U.S., the people who are severely dsyfunctional would outnumber the functional people.
And dysfunctional people will choose death, drama, "excitement" and danger over security and happiness (boring) every time. I've seen it so much in my own family. They just loooooove to shoot themselves in BOTH feet. Over and over.

3. Think of the god they have created for themselves.
Does that god want nothing but peace and happiness for all? No, you're supposed to fear him and fight his enemies!

5. A few factors:: to consider:: In fair elections....them GOPers would have poor odds
But...they play the game dirty.....using money, power, etc, they taint the election process

But, this is about to change for the better....I hope so..anyways....

Thanks to Maddow, KO, etc....the Left and the Indies are getting a truer picture of them devious doing by the GOP....not that we DEMs are

totally innocent....but the GOPers are going overboard with trying to get back into power....even spending outrageous $$$$

So desperate the GOPers are resorting to Bluffing, Puffing, Lying, cheating, stealing...etc.....They are BULLIES...

They even have a few spies/ops in our ranks....gatta be.....

But, all this Negative Traits are bothering more and more people who can think above the noise...thus we see a shift toward Reason Sanity

Sanity and Clarity...

Cheer up, come, we go surfing... Opi

6. Maybe it's genetics. We should dissect a few to see if they were born with lobotomies.
