A quick thought...
Why am I even slightly surprised when the American voting public falls hook, line and sinker for the fear peddling the GOP and right wingnuts churn out on any and every topic they can.
The very recent poll that showed the American public do not want the remaining prisoners in Guantanamo transfered to US prisons is a case in point. People seem to have gobbled up the claims that the prisoners would be released on our streets and threatened the general populace. The doors are going to be opened up and these guys will be allowed to walk right out onto our streets. Right.
Why is it that so many people are so willing to immediatley believe the proven liar? Why is it that common sense goes out the door so easily? Why is it that America, once home of the brave, has become the home of the quivering, quaking, shaking faint of heart?
How did that happen?
