John, people don't want to think logically all the time. That's hard work. What they want is someone in authority to tell them things they'd like to believe were true. Then they can say, I agree with X. Our politicians and pundits know this all too well. Public discourse inevitably devolves to sound bites that support wishful thinking.

When you have a group of voters who can only regurgitate bumper sticker slogans and not engage in analytical thinking, simple minded ignorance and misdirected blaming is inevitable. Since Democrats derive their political power from these people, the feedback loop created will never be willingly interrupted by them. Let's hope for our nation's sake that many of these destructive people are thrown out of office in next month's elections!
