Gullible Americans

Richard Snyder

Published: March 24, 2008

Over 60 years ago, my father once said to me that the American people are the most gullible people in the world.

I now consider his statement to be words of wisdom. According to Webster, the word gullible means easily duped: "tending to trust and believe people" and therefore easily being tricked or deceived, being naive, susceptible, and trusting. More than ever before in history, all American citizens are being faced with making a decision that will determine the future and fate of our country, which is slowly being taken away from us.

Will the word "change" be the deciding factor in this election? The media is force feeding us information about change that a lot of Americans are gobbling up. Then there are the "wanting change" groups out there, not considering the change could possibly be for the worse. Remember the last big change America wanted was Jimmy Carter (D) 1977-1981, probably the worst president ever.

Gas prices weren't the problem back then, you just couldn't find any to buy. With a Barack Hussein Obama ticket, we can be assured of higher taxes and relaxed national security.

He has no plans or solutions on how to address the illegal immigration problems, no viable decisions on healthcare and any experience or qualifications for the job.

Question is, what will his changes be? Obama was endorsed by Louis Farrakhan and he has at some time had connections with other undesirables such as Jeremiah Wright, Bill Ayers and Tony Rezko.

My father also had another phrase he often used, "birds of a feather flock together." You may call some of the above senator, reverend or minister — sorry — but I'm not that gullible. Bill Ayers is known as an American terrorist and Tony Rezko is an illegal deal maker going to trial. Just how gullible will the American people be in this upcoming presidential election?
