Is logic/reason taking a back seat to emotion because of laziness?

Common sense has also been eroded away. I think this is mainly due to our citizenry being run through propaganda mills that teach "what" to think instead of "how" to think.

We have a giant portion of our society (Liberals) who believe that going further into debt = "paying your bills". They also believe that it's wise for the biggest debtor in the history of Earth to "invest" even more of our money.

Common sense, logic and reason would tell anyone that those beliefs are fricking insane, but Liberals have been told to "think" those are facts for their entire lives.

On top of that, they've been told they are "special" for their entire lives. So, it should come as no surprise that we end up w/ a society of ego-maniacal economic illiterates who end up electing the biggest ego-maniacal economic illiterate of them all....Obama.
