My fear is that a majority of the people have already been brainwashed in to thinking that the government must regulate. I Have liberal friends that feel regulation is important, but seem to have an extremely opposite opinion of what over regulation means. They don't even realize that they are agreeing with Marxism/socialism in many of the things that they say. A few even went as far as to say they are Libertarian, however, I quickly showed them that Libertarian was the complete opposite of everything they are saying. These people are just idiots and their only points of reference or Nazi Germany and buzz words, like Libertarian, that they see on niche news media. "I support Ron Paul". Uhhh, no you don't, because you're telling me you want more regulation. Paul does not. "Get rid of the fed? That's insane, we can't do that". Well, a true Liberian believes the Fed is a sham, and your boy Ron Paul believes that too. These people are so convinced, they don't even know what they think
Bottom line is, the people are getting more and more divided. "Divide and conquer". Obama is very good at this war game.

Many people who say they don't like politics or politicians, don't vote, etc will wrongly label themselves "libertarian", assuming that a libertarian is simply someone who is neutral, independent, or whatever.
These people who mislabel themselves almost always have pretty strong leftist leanings and will reveal themselves to be in favor of many things that are a direct result or byproduct of big government overreach, such as "free" healthcare, gun control, excessive regulations on businesses, "tax the rich", etc.
One idiot even told me he was an Obama fan "because Obama is libertarian like me".
... He said this mainly because Obama was an admitted pot smoker at one time like this idiot was himself. Being a pot smoker or former pot smoker does not = "libertarian".

I know exactly what you mean. I have friends that have been "educated" right out of their faith in God, Country or opportunity.
Unfortunately many of them have not seen what is like to live as a conservative. With responsibility comes prosperity in many cases. But fuk that lets just tax the rich and get all the govt bling we can.
The only thing I can wish for them is true success and let them see what it is like to be a producer of income for others or even a high salary person (one that works for it) only then will they see what is is like to be blamed, targeted and punished for their hard work and the real risks that come with being a producer. However the journey there or one week of this kind of pressure would make most of them collapse like a one egg cake.
