They won’t be stupid when they realize they are the common population and that the common population is 70% of the population of the United States and united under the Common Populace banner for representation of their class and culture.

The masses of the public at large are becoming aware of their power as the American Common Populace, which denotes no insignificance whatsoever individually, only a class and culture that needs to be realized in the United States, because as individuals there is no way to have equality with the two other classes and cultures, the Corporate Middle Class and Culture that will never shrink to less than 20% of the population and the Corporate Elite Capitalist Class and Culture that is only 10% of the entire population.

Here are some definitions of common usage:

common:

1.  belonging equally to each or all of a group: The airwaves of the United States belong in common with the entire population of the United States. 2. of all; from all; by all; to all; general: common knowledge, 3. united, joined: Science and medicine form a common front against ignorance and disease. 4. belonging to the community at large;public: He sowed a slander in the common ear.  A commoncouncil. The common population of Egypt and Wisconsin USA are outraged at the government’s attempting to remove the workers common benefit.

common carrier:  A person or business conveying goods or people for pay, offering the service to the public generally, the common population.

common council: the lawmaking group of a city, town, etc.

commoner:  one of the public; a person who is not a nobleman. 

common land:  land that is used and enjoyed by the public and is not restricted to private ownership.

common law: 1. law based on custom and usage, but confirmed by the decisions of judges, as distinct from statute law.  2. the law of all countries whose legal systems derive from English law, as distinct from civil or canon law.  3. law based on the decisions of judges in actual cases; case law.

common market:  an association of countries for promoting free trade among its members by eliminating tariffs, duties, and similar restrictions, with a common tariff for external commerce.

common wealth:  1. the group of people who make up a nation; citizens of a state.  2. a democratic state; republic.  3.  any one of the states of the United States.  4. a number of people united for a common interest.

Gerard said “We’ve come to that.  We elect the people who shout the loudest. That’s American exceptionalism for you. Exceptionally stupid”

I think that is the philosophic dialectic technique learned from local Detroit housing projects.

Ruth did you just say that president Ojama is a coward? Or did you say he was a gutless wonder?

Instead of lecturing us about some obscure politician, from the Brittish empire, why not spend your time, discussing president Ojama’s total failure to assume the responsibility of his office?

Perhaps a more apt quote from Disraeli would be: Circumstances are beyond human control, but our conduct is in our own power.

Ojama, has no one to blame but himself. Playing it safe and calculating, every detail, as if the presidency is a math problem or chess game, will most certainly mean no re election, and quite possibly the demise of the Democratic party.

It’s Ojama’s responsibility to lead the country not Boehner’s.

Ojama’s base is more than restive, they want him dumped. His contining sell out’s to the plutocracy, is not what the people voted for, and he knows it.

If he thinks he can B.S., himself into another 4 years, he’s mistaken.

There will never be leadership for the 70% Majority Common Population, the American Populace in the United States until the Common Populace unites the Common Populace as a class and culture for representation of their class and culture, instead of each being representative of their self individually.  ——— One individual thread is easily broken, but two isn’t as easy to break, three, four and five get harder, and when the whole class and culture comes together it is impossible to break a whole class and culture united for political representation of that class and culture, the American Common Populace, and no longer separated as individuals. trying to individually get into the Middle Class.

Change will only come for the 219 Million who do not get into the Middle Class the Egypt way when the common population become aware of the power they have to make change for the better, instead of being pushed around by the to minority duopoly classes and cultures in power.

At the moment my conclusion is:  that the U.S. government is stupid and that the American people are cowardly. 
  It is stupid to allow corporate money to dominate government policies.  It is stupid to continue to fight foreign wars year after year, wasting money and good influence.  It is stupid not to allow ordinary people access to the halls of power, listen to them and answer their needs.  It is stupid to try to keep them fearful, cowed, idle and oppressed. It is stupid to allow the media to foreclose on accurate information and on alternatives in policy,stupid to keep people ignorant, stupid not to provide adequate health care, education, and a safety net, to let banks take people’s homes,  to “save money” by cutting letting children go without food and old people shiver because they can’t pay heating bills—stupid not to provide people with jobs and future hope.
  It is cowardly for citizens to permit all this and refuse to make themselves heard.  They don’t even need to go out into the streets and face the over-weighted security system.  All they have to do (in sufficient numbers—millions, that is) is to write letters and visit local offices of their Representatives and Senators, make telephone calls to Washington offices specifying certain things they want, do not want, and will not allow. The cost is minimal but the effect would be priceless.  It is cowardly for citizens to depend solely upon elections (funded and influenced by big money) and on believing what politicians say in spite of evidence to the contrary.
  Stupidity and cowardice is a democracy-killing combination. Expect the worst if both segments do not do a lot better soon. The stress increases with every failure to act.

****************

Say what you will Ruth, but as far back as when woodie the
woodpecker wilson signed the federal reserve act of 1913 into
law, all the air began to get sucked out of our government. This
condition of a charade of government would never happened in
‘the last few days’. It is directly a long inexorable plan to take the
u.s. back into the old ‘feudal’ days of centuries ago. It couldn’t
have happen in that ‘blink of an eye’ anywhere in recent history,
that would definitely have created revolt and revolution.

The fed, central bank, had to be created under the auspices of
another presidential election that promised the white house to
one who would sign the bill to create a bank that even then
didn’t have the transparency that was needed. The ‘great
depression’ did create that transparency and the oversight and
regulations to at least set up some control. But it wasn’t enough,
because there was plenty of time, time for those wanting less
controls to undo what the depression did.

Then came the golden years, everyone making money, fun
things all at the reach of the wallet. The ‘pursuit of happiness’
became a nice bright warm light and no dark clouds of an
‘eternal vigilance’ could be allowed to interfere. There is a short
synopsis of the ‘vacuum of leadership’. It was inevitable as a
requirement to let the crook, thieves and criminals take hold of
the country to reconstruct that charade of government to
ostensibly function for citizens when it actually created a
conformity of rule of the aristocracy.

I would rather go through another revolution such as that at the
time of 1776 and there abouts, than to try a revolution to take
back and undo the harm done to this country. Doing so, would
above everything else, require getting the mainstream media to
function as the ‘fourth estate’ as it was intended by the founding
fathers. But as Egypt is supposed to have proved, maybe a well
connected and functioning ‘social network’ would work.

To be leaders in obstruction and reaction takes no great talent.  All you have to do is shout NO! louder than your opposition, and manage to wear the other side out.  Obstructionism is the name of the Republican game now. 
  Their policies alone could not defeat Obama’s re-election because, feeble though Obama’s policies are, once articulated and understood, they at least lean toward the people. 
  Republicans don’t need to pay attention to the people because they have the money to buy shouting time.  Money defeats popular politics by buying the most shouting time.
  We’ve come to that.  We elect the people who shout the loudest. That’s American exceptionalism for you. Exceptionally stupid.

I fervently hope that the republicans takeover the presidency and both houses of congress in 2012 with solid majorities that way this phony bipartisan 3-card monte scam will no longer be an excuse and when the reactionaries ply their wares on the nation and the constitution even the ignorant, self-centered, bigoted, and intolerant rubes who so unashamedly support them will find their own precious oxen being gored. Who knows; maybe the dawning of awareness will occur in time to prevent the final demise! Personally, I doubt it; but at this stage I really don’t care anymore! FREE BRADLEY MANNING!!!!!

hello. cowards survive by fooling their opponent.
they play the same game, so we are the fools. big
government, spending, borders, abortion, equal
rights, unfair taxation, the devaluing of the dollar,
globalism, war on drugs, other nation building, high
speed trains to nowhere, obesity, climate change,
green technology, polls, racism, gays, unions, crony
capitalists, mandating health care, (the short
list),...: nothing worth dodging will get by the
complacent media, and nothing will not be kicked down
the road, and nothing has to be something; or it
wouldn’t be nothing. everything is nothing when you
live in the bubble of government. it is just what
constituents have voiced concerns over. to get
reelected, the only thing they care about, these
concerns must be addressed in proper sound bytes, for
the media- and then they can kick all that foolish
noise into the future. just let the incumbent
politicians handle everything. they know how to get
everything done, you fools. look what they have done
(see list above, add what you are concerned with, you
fool): nothing.
