My non-political brother told me something that he has figured out about today's politics
He doesn't watch political shows or follow politics. He doesn't even vote.

Here is his exact quote:

Seems like Obama wants to help feed people and the Republicans are trying to prevent him from doing that.

He told me that a couple of weeks ago and I have used it on other people since he told me that. Seems to make people stop and think. Even the conservatives I have said it to stop and think for a minute.

May want to remember that quote for future reference? It is short and sweet but it seems to get right to the root of the problem in a very basic way. In a way almost like anyone can understand. Even a child.

3. They want to prevent the feeding of brown, black & poor people - if it costs others money.

They tell the rabble that there's not enough for all, so it's us or them.
