Why do they still believe?

Bread and circuses have been the staple for totalitarian governments for thousands of year. When a ruler has felt his control of rule slipping he promises parties or pastries. We are so like sheep. We follow our bellies to the end. We also follow the fear of not having something in our gut. The human race is constantly in a battle with our bodies over our intellect. We see ourselves so much more evolved than other species on the planet. Push come to shove we will kill our fellow man for a loaf of bread or a gallon of crude. Throughout history there have been those charismatic leaders for both good and evil use that base part of our nature to guide us or compel us to act. From the divine Christ and loaves and fishes to Hitler and the fatherland, the very primitive part of us has be used, this is where we stand today.

Now there have been comparisons on both sides of Obama as deity and demon. I subscribe to neither. I believe he is a dysfunctional man who through his ability to manipulate through speech has duped millions. Obama to me is just wrong not evil or demonic as some have purported. So in his errors, in his miscalculations, he has tapped back into the circuits that are still easily programmable within us. Now I certainly don't believe he has done this alone. This Obama path has been an artificially created and mold road. The right mentors, the right schools, the right tragedies. When I look at Obama's life its seems there is no other path that he could have followed other than Socialism. Really? Did I just suggest a Manchurian candidate?

So why do they still believe in him? The half or less of us Americans who still see the failed experiment of Obama as a viable option still for the future. The only reasonable answer is clear and simple. Romney said it and it nearly killed his campaign. I can say it because I am no one, nobody. Americans are losing their independent, small business creating, hard working spirit. So now we are afraid and lost and don't remember how to sacrifice and struggle and save. We have become in part a nation of woulda, coulda, shoulda. There is only one choice who will save us from ourselves and guarantee we eat and be merry. The guarantee comes with a high price, the eventual death of our nation as we know it. When your afraid your instincts take over, and if you have always been trained to stick your hand out you won't be able to take that hand and pick up a shovel.

So decades of dependence has brought us to have these mass of crowds looking for a savior. They cried, "Hope and Change, Hope and Change". Reminds me of a scripture I will paraphrase. "When they cried, Peace, Peace, sudden destruction befell them". This November use your intellect, not your belly.
