I just received an email that I would say is a classic example of sheepl think.............. (Note: this is from a second generation American, a senior citizen, the first of her family born here in the USA)

Anything missing here as to reasons this is happening.???

WHY THE CUT IN U.S. SENIOR BENEFITS?

Here are 14 reasons why the US has to cut benefits to senior citizens.
'Snopes' is provided for any doubters. I hope the following reasons are
forwarded over and over again until they are read so many times that the
reader gets sick of reading them. I have included the URL's for
verification of the following facts.

Sheep vs sheep..................

I do believe that over the last 20 years or so the right has been far better @ framing the arguments & defining importance...... To suit themselves of course..................

It is the failure of the left.... SPecificly the democratic party, IMO, that has failed miserably to address this...... One only look @ how they allowed themselves to be stampeded & often times stumbling over themselves to appear out in front of the war wagons.......

Rather than pulling the right towards the center they have moved continuously towards the right, leaving the center far more to the right of most Americans on many issues including healthcare & the war......

On many issues & especially regarding foreign affairs their positions are almost indistinguishable & their mutual military industrial friends set their pace as the military marches off in support of American hegemony............

If I am wrong here please help me out & show me I am wrong on this..........

There's a lot of things to consider if the question is this encompassing.Media and the psychology of advertising, the comforting nature of easy answers, the attention span of the American consumer, education, etc. It's a subject that holds interest for me, but maybe we could break it down into smaller facets?

Here is what I am talking about:
Is this any different than you would expect from BR or Muddy???
