Jonathan Gruber

 Jonathan Holmes Gruber is a professor of economics at M.I.T. and is the primary architect of Obamacare. He was caught on film calling the American people stupid. This is what he said about Obamacare.“Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage, and basically, call it the stupidity of the American voter or whatever, but basically that was really, really critical for the thing to pass.” I agree to a point with Gruber. There are far too many stupid people in this country. The stupid people are those who in light of overwhelming evidence to the contrary continue to vote for the Democratic Party and their ideology that is evil to the core. Then there are those who voted for the Republicans believing that they are actually going to bring about positive change. The Republicans stood for nothing. They won because people are desperately seeking to stop Obama and the Democratic agenda. It is obvious that they still don't get it.. 

  I prefer to believe that most people are just plain ignorant. I would rather be ignorant than stupid. You can fix ignorance through education but as they say, you can't fix stupid. Too many Americans are more interested in social media, video games, prime-time television, and pop culture. They are not paying attention which contributes to their ignorance. The mainstream media contributes to this ignorance by not fairly reporting the news. However the American people are not as stupid as Dr. Gruber thinks they are. Yes, a combination of stupid and ignorant people elected Obama and a Democratic Congress This enabled the passage of Obamacare. Americans in overwhelming numbers have never at any time wanted Obamacare. They didn't want it when it was passed and they do not want it now. In fairness to the Republicans, not one Republican voted for it. There are far too many elitist snobs like Dr. Gruber who are not as smart as they think they are. I trust the American people in their ignorance far more than I trust all the Dr Gruber's in the world. A warning to the Republican's however. If you blow this opportunity you have been given you do it at your peril. There is a growing desperation among the great unwashed masses. The last decent Democratic President, John F. Kennedy, said it best. "Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable"

Jayne Mansfield   Jayne Mansfield died way too young on June 29, 1967 at the age of 34 in a gruesome car wreck, She was killed instantly but contrary to urban legend she was not decapitated. Jayne was called the poor man's Marilyn Monroe. She had enjoyed about a four year stint of popularity on Broadway and in Hollywood from 1954 until 1958. Her career was in decline in the late 50's and early 60's but she was still popular in Europe and on the nightclub circuit. She took her last name from her high school sweetheart Paul Mansfield when she married him at the age of seventeen. Her second husband was a former Mr. Universe named Mickey Hargitay who was from Norway. The third and last husband was Matt Cimber. Mansfield was highly educated, attending Southern Methodist University, the University of Texas and U.C.L.A. She supposedly had an IQ of 163 and was called the smartest dumb blonde ever. Of course she couldn't be too smart. In 1966, a year before her death, while

CHARLIE PARKHURST

  Charlie Parkhurst aka One-eyed Charlie, Cockeyed Charlie, or Six Horse Charlie was born in 1812 in Vermont. Eventually he made his way out west to California where he became a teamster and one of the most skilled stagecoach drivers in history. He was small in stature but tough. Shortly after becoming a stagecoach driver for the California Stage Company he was kicked in the face by a horse and blinded in one eye. Charlie began his reputation as a tough driver when a robber named "Sugarfoot" held up his stage one day. Taken by surprise his only option was to give up his strong box. Six months later the Sugarfoot hit him again but Charlie was prepared this time. He blew him away with a shotgun at point blank range. Without blinking his good eye he rode off at a full gallop leaving the robber dead in the road.   He was an expert shot and an expert with a bull whip. Charlie could cut a cigar in half at fifteen paces while a man held it in his mouth. On one occasion he rolle
