Bloomberg says No to National Guard because they carry guns

[The Annoyed Man]

With how bad this has gone he deserves to be run out of NY with tar and feathers coming after him if he does not go. However because this is NY he will likely be elected governor next.

Just what I was thinking

Better that than "Senator Bloomberg." NOW do you feel better about "Governor Bloomberg?"

The Bloomberg's, Pelosi's, Reid's and the Obama's, etc., etc. do not elect themselves.

Every wacko in each party is elected by...{drum roll}...you guessed it....we, the people.

In Propaganda (1928), Edward Bernays stated:

The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. ...We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of. This is a logical result of the way in which our democratic society is organized. Vast numbers of human beings must cooperate in this manner if they are to live together as a smoothly functioning society. ...In almost every act of our daily lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons...who understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses. It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind.

An incredible introduction to life of Bernays and a step into the larger world in which we actually live. A must watch!
