We read articles here that 90% (admittedly, I'm guessing) of Americans don't read. I think we're also trying to assess situations and ask questions and posit theories that no one else has. An example would be in direct reference to what Nadine said today about our politicians not realizing they are being taken or fooled into voting for legislation they didn't understand. They want us to believe the stuff they object to was somehow inserted into legislation after the vote took place. They feign outrage, and indignation. I believe it is about time someone dispel the notion that our representatives are a bunch of incompetent boobs that can be easily tricked. I say balderdash, and hogwash, and refuse to believe that any longer. There are a lot of other examples. Dan Rather comes to mind. Things are said and done by politicians and the MSM all the time that are patently false. The folks here are curious enough and thorough enough to dissect information and ferret out the truth. I don't know of any other web site that offers that opportunity.
