Living in America ain’t what it used to be. Our population continues to sink into the morass of anger and ignorance. Our test scores keep dropping, but kids are given education about gay rights, diversity, and multiculturalism. How’s that working out for our economy?
Our competitors, like China, Korea, Japan, and India, continue to beat us in everything. They don’t have 100 million people on welfare, and states that have more people on welfare than have jobs. We have a government that is fascist, corrupt, and out of control; and it has less than 10% of the country’s support. We have Wall Street and the banksters siphoning off wealth, and we have the Federal Reserve openly admitting they are enriching the few, while the average person is getting killed by the “silent tax” known as inflation.
Our delusional population does nothing as Obama and our leaders erase all foreign and domestic progress that’s been made in the last 30 years. We keep spending, the Obama’s keep taking vacations, and the world keeps laughing at us, at least when they aren’t viewing us as the biggest threat to world peace. And things are only going to get worse as the criminals in Washington continue their spending habits while running out of other people’s money. Socialist and communist nations always collapse. Ours isn’t far off.
30 Survey Results That Sound False But That Are Actually True
By Michael Snyder, on March 23rd, 2014
You will be shocked at what some Americans actually believe. For example, close to 90 percent of us believe that we are eating a healthy diet while wearing Under Armor sports clothes, and yet more than third of the population is officially obese, and another third overweight. 65 percent of all Americans say that they are dissatisfied with the government, and yet nearly a third of us would be willing to submit to a “TSA body cavity search” in order to get on an airplane.
As you will see below, Americans are angrier and more frustrated with government and with their lives than ever before, but we also exhibit almost unbelievable levels of sloth, gluttony and apathy. Some of the numbers below are quite funny, and others are absolutely stunning. But they all say something about who we have become as a nation. The following are 30 survey results that sound false but that are actually true…
#1 According to a recent Rasmussen Reports survey, 52 percent of Americans “do not think the economy is fair to those willing to work hard”.
#2 70 percent of all Americans do not “feel engaged or inspired at their jobs”.
#3 According to another recent Rasmussen Reports survey, 59 percent of Americans believe that “less government involvement in the economy” would help reduce the size of the income gap in this country. (And those 59 percent are actually correct.)
#4 20 percent of all government workers and 26 percent of all Obama supporters consider the Tea Party to be “the biggest terror threat” that America is facing.
#5 Approximately 30 percent of all American workers have $1,000 or less saved up for retirement.
#6 A worldwide survey conducted by the Worldwide Independent Network and Gallup found that 24 percent of people around the world consider the United States to be the biggest threat to peace. Pakistan was in second place with just 8 percent.
#7 60 percent of Americans report feeling “angry or irritable”. Two years ago that number was at 50 percent.
#8 36 percent of Americans admit that they have yelled at a customer service agent during the past year.
#9 29 percent of Americans believe that “cloud computing” involves an actual cloud.
#10 A survey of employers that currently pay minimum wage to at least some of their employees found that 38 percent of them would start laying off employees if the minimum wage was raised.
#11 One survey found that 56 percent of Americans believe that it is okay for the government to track “the telephone records of millions of Americans” in order to keep us safe.
#12 When George W. Bush was president, 61 percent of Democrats considered NSA surveillance to be “unacceptable”, but now that Obama is in the White House, only 34 percent of them consider it to be “unacceptable”.
#13 67 percent of Americans support the use of unmanned drones in “homeland security missions” inside the United States.
#14 One survey found that 51 percent of all Americans agree with this statement: “it is necessary to give up some civil liberties in order to make the country safe from terrorism.”
#15 Close to one-third of all Americans would be willing to submit to a “TSA body cavity search” in order to fly.
#16 65 percent of Americans are dissatisfied “with the U.S. system of government and its effectiveness“. That is the highest level of dissatisfaction that Gallup has ever recorded.
#17 Only 8 percent of Americans believe that Congress is doing a “good” or “excellent” job.
#18 70 percent of Americans do not have confidence that the federal government will “make progress on the important problems and issues facing the country in 2014”.
#19 According to a survey conducted by the National Geographic Society, only 37 percent of all Americans in the 18 to 24-year-old age range can find the nation of Iraq on a map.
#20 Close to 25 percent of all Americans do not know that the United States declared independence from Great Britain.
#21 Right now, 29 percent of all Americans under the age of 35 are living with their parents.
#22 According to one survey, 24 percent of all U.S. teens that have a sexually-transmitted disease say that they still have unprotected sex.
#23 Approximately one out of every five teenage girls in the United States actually wants to be a teenage mother and get on welfare..
#24 The percentage of Americans that “believe there are signs that aliens have visited Earth” is actually higher than the percentage of Americans that believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
#25 According to one recent survey, only 35 percent of all Americans say that they are better off financially than they were a year ago.
#26 It is hard to believe, but 56 percent of all Americans are considered to have “subprime credit” at this point.
#27 89.7 percent of all Americans believe that they are eating a healthy diet. Meanwhile, approximately 36 percent of all Americans are obese.
#28 44 percent of all Americans do not have a first-aid kit in their homes.
#29 48 percent of all Americans do not have any emergency supplies stored up at all.
#30 53 percent of all Americans do not even have a 3 day supply of nonperishable food and water in their homes. What will they do when a major crisis or emergency strikes? Do they actually believe that the government will swoop in to save them if something happens?
Progress in the last 30 years?
What U talk in’ bout Willis?
Regardless of which corrupt politician is in office, ignorant, stupid, lazy incompetent free shit soldiers will be held accountable. No politician demagogue can repeal the laws of nature.
“#24 The percentage of Americans that “believe there are signs that aliens have visited Earth” is actually higher than the percentage of Americans that believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.”
Sorry, but I don’t see how one of the above beliefs is anymore nonsensical and irrational than the other. Both are irrational fantasies that have more to do with what the believer wants to believe, than provable reality. Neither is based on fact, or logic.
Nonsense is nonsense.
Vatican Chief Justice: Obama’s Policies ‘Have Become Progressively More Hostile Toward Christian Civilization’
March 24, 2014
VATICAN CITY (CBS St. Louis) — The Vatican’s chief justice feels that President Barack Obama’s policies have been hostile toward Christians.
In an interview with Polonia Christiana magazine –and transcribed by Life Site News — Cardinal Raymond Burke said that Obama “promotes anti-life and anti-family policies.”
“It is true that the policies of the president of the United States have become progressively more hostile toward Christian civilization. He appears to be a totally secularized man who aggressively promotes anti-life and anti-family policies,” Burke told the magazine.
The former archbishop of St. Louis stated that Obama is trying to “restrict” religion.
“Now he wants to restrict the exercise of the freedom of religion to freedom of worship, that is, he holds that one is free to act according to his conscience within the confines of his place of worship but that, once the person leaves the place of worship, the government can constrain him to act against his rightly-formed conscience, even in the most serious of moral questions,” Burke said.
Burke took a swipe against Obama’s Affordable Care Act over the law’s birth control mandate, saying “such policies would have been unimaginable in the United States even 40 years ago.”
“In a democracy, such a lack of awareness is deadly,” Burke told the magazine. “It leads to the loss of the freedom which a democratic government exists to protect. It is my hope that more and more of my fellow citizens, as they realize what is happening, will insist on electing leaders who respect the truth of the moral law as it is respected in the founding principles of our nation.”
I have decided That it is my duty as a good Murican to help those poor teenage girls realize their dreams. I will begin taking applications later today . Only large breasted and good looking need apply.
PrisonerofZelda,
You might just have to settle for “large.”
Good luck though, and I hope your offspring don’t end up eating you.

Thank GOD for guys like Allen West. Otherwise, all Black people I know would keep getting lumped in with Mr. Drone attacks/fake birth certificate/Uncle Tom Obomber. It appears he was put in office to drive a wedge between Americans.
Martin Luther King, Jr. must be rolling in his grave. I don’t think MLK, Jr. thought equality was everyone becoming fucking broke together & living in a modern version of Hooverville.
Other than the top 1% fucks, everyone I know is slowly going broke because no 1 is getting ahead of their costs no matter how much they cut.
Both the torturer Junior Bush and the droner Obama play a lot of golf and take a lot of vacations.
I think sometime in their respective presidencies, THEIR masters told them they need not worry about governing, just use the time to enjoy the privileges of the office in between fundraising.
Looking solely at Allen West’s bio on FB, it looks like he got his education at government funded schools and was mostly employed by government.
Wonder how many have an effective First Aid kit in their cars / trucks? At home, one can at least improvise in cases of moderate to major trauma (towels, linen, even string, etc.). On the road, the opportunities (and immediately available materials) are usually far more restricted, and the “casualty count” may be much higher.
Chicago , what does your Dumbass worshiper? Evolution ?Talk aBout pure damn nonsense , evolution is nonsense of the highest order.
I’ll have to side with bb on this one.
Would bb and nonanonymous care to explain to me the “logic” and “reason” behind the proposition that some invisible being caused a young unmarried woman with his only son just so said son could “die for the sins” of a species that has since not changed its ways one iota, except to find ways to more efficiently murder, torture, and rob and otherwise prey on each other?
