People rather be lied to than welcome change

Sorry, mom’s been playing her 60’s civil rights programs again.

And that’s the question I’m left with.
Bush and Nixon lied to the people. No assignation attempts were made. (correct?)

Marten Luther King and Bobby Kennedy it seems to me wanted change for the good of the country. They were assassinated.

I know about majority and minority blah blah blah.

Why would people tolerate being lied to, over trying a little bit of change?

And do you think it’s over?
Will they try to kill Obama?

  • Who the fuck wants change?

    I want another house...more cars....fuck what has to happen to get it.

    This is how people think.

    A lot of people are either in denial, plain stupid, or just lying about it to seem concerned in public.
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    I don't really understand the theory in the original post. Martin & Bobby didn't lie, had a vision, and people assassinated them? Nixon & Bush lied so nobody assassinated them? Reagan was nearly assassinated. Was that because he never lied and had a vision for change? Clinton wasn't assassinated, was that because he lied? I don't see the correlation between change, truth and assassination.

    So why does Obama want change? He's rich.

    I get what you're saying. fat cats like to stay fat.

    But are you also saying the assignators were/are filthy rich?

    Apparently he didn't fit the definition of crazy motherfucker at the time of purchase. If he had, he would have been denied the purchase. Your contention is that assassinations happen because mentally ill people are allowed to own guns. They actually aren't.

    He listed $1 million in income on his 2006 return, so he's a little above the poverty line.
