You make a great point here! Why do we sit around and swallow these ridiculous premiss and outright lies? The progressives have lulled the lazy and the poor into a accepting what ever the government will give them for free. This gives them a very large voting block. Those that receive the free cheese don't want someone else to come along and take away what they are entitled to. They are wholly convinced that this is true as well. One lie after another. The people need to wake up and start to get involved. Find out what is really going on. Point out the lies and stop believing them. Once a liar is found out, stop believing anything they say! It seems that some people would rather believe a lie that gives them comfort than the stark reality of the truth.
