Far too many Americans are outsourcing their thinking to other people they don't even know and have not checked that invisible yapper's credentials......"others" meaning talk radio personalities, preachers, internet blog hosts, some smart-ass on Twitter or a charismatic dude at the local bar.

Everything is going per plan for the oligarchs and plutocrats and the methods are right out of a Soviet propagandist's playbook used for many decades - sew discord, confusion and fear until no one recognizes truth. That then puts them into position to declare what truth is.
