2. The Faux Snooze idiots always raise hell about the cost of social programs,

but do they ever express the same concern about the warmongering that the U.S. has squandered trillions of dollars on?

The scary thing is there are a lot of people who hold every word these low-IQ propagandists say and parlay it into fear against the unknown and people who are different than them.

They attacked the Democratic debate, but what about the prevailing message from the Republican debates of FEAR! HATE! WAR!

How much do they cost? How productive have those discussions been?

I think the average IQ of a Faux Snooze viewer is a number that resembles the average temperature in the North Pole in January.

They have no honor, integrity and none of the traits that make most humans a caring social being.

4. I have always supported the idea of a minimum I.Q. to vote

At least the attainment of some sort of college degree, pretty much any as long as from accredited schools.
The issues today in an overpopulated world are far too dire to leave it to the idiots that eat up Fox garbage.

8. I thought limiting voting rights was a Republican ideal.

A college degree is no guarantee of critical, thoughtful or caring thinking skills. An arbitrary limit to those with college degrees would take the power of the vote from huge numbers of working class and poor individuals who work and contribute to our communities and the fabric of our society. Many unions are made up almost exclusively of non-degreed individuals. These are those that the Democratic Party has sought to protect from the hatred and greed of others. We want them to have a voice on the future of our country.

I am personally against taking any right away from any citizen for almost any reason or we become even more at risk from those that would seek to do so in the pursuit of personal power and greed.

Not meant to be a personal calling out, just a topic about which I feel very deeply.

9. I agree with you LTG. Look at Ben Carson as an example.

The guy is literally a brain surgeon. Obviously has college degrees. Politically, he comes across as being dumber than a box of rocks.

5. What's even sicker is a large portion of the evil networks viewers benefit from those programs

They are demonizing.

I have an nephew by marriage who joined the army because he couldn't survive living in Arizona. He got injured in the Army and still ended up still getting the GI bill. He hates Obama and I stopped being on Facebook with him because he was attacking poor people and I called him out on it. He has to ask him Mom for money to pay for diapers for his son. But he's a diehard republican who thinks Obama is a communist. Not even realizing his republicans wanted to eliminate the GI bill. The stupidity is mind boggling to me.
