Hope, eternal, there really is not disagreement between us given your clarification of what was the issue..“I'm talking about the blind devotion and allegiance some stupid people have to celebrity, extending to subjects where the celebrity is completely unqualified, and using that as the only source of input.”<<~~agreed!! Blind devotion often the external force for those whom do not think for themself.. Enamored or Impressed with those celebrities its more envy, following them as their messiah or wh**ever, just as they did with BO...No commmon sense at all nor did any question BO?? Nor do they even now......How is that possible?? Blind devotion is about all it can be at this point ...?Sheer unadulterated stupidity !!!

Music is a personal favorite of mine... I prefer music over television as I simply can’t sit still long enough to watch a program...As you were discussing the comment that Paul McCarthy made I couldn’t help but think right then the same thing I thought when I heard it, which was what, stick to music Paul!
Yes, for some I'm sure they would have thought BO was obviously smarter than Bush..Not for me, but others absolutely.... Power of suggestion goes a long way...Brainwashing propaganda their necessary evil..

Diabolically engineered Superfluous BS, Voice, and as long as there is the weak that fall in check and get what pittance given, their loyalty remains!!!

Not ending on a negative, please enjoy~~

Couple of my favorites right here.

"A new poll by Reuters finds that support for President Trump has doubled in just a week.

On April 22, Trump’s approval rating among black men stood at 11%, but a week later, in a poll on April 29, that rating had risen to 22%. In addition, his "disapproval" rating dropped significantly as well, from 87% in the first poll to 71% in the latest survey."

IMO, there are lots of good reasons to support President Trump. Doing so because some POS rap star says to isn't one of them. How stupid are these people anyway? There really needs to be a test one must pass to be allowed to v**e.

Maybe it's just hope, but I don't think we actually disagree. I'm not arguing against Kanye's message. I'm talking about the blind devotion and allegiance some stupid people have to celebrity, extending to subjects where the celebrity is completely unqualified, and using that as the only source of input.

Yes, normal folks listen to other people and form opinions based on a range of inputs (as opposed to one celebrity). Further, we normally seek advice from qualified individuals. If I need advice about fixing a leaky roof, I don't ask a baker.

Let me give an example. Music has always been a large and important part of my life. IMO, two of the best musicians, composers, performers and all-around music influencers of my lifetime are/were John Lennon and Paul McCartney. Together they invented a whole genre of music which was massively successful and all good. I'm a huge fan.

Now, remember back when the Obamas, like a couple of starstruck teenagers, were constantly using the white house to throw gigantic star-studded galas (because as every l*****t knows, the second-best use of taxpayer money, after v**e buying, is entertaining the royalty)? Remember that time at one of those that Paul McCartney made his comment about it being nice to finally have a president who knows what a library is? When I heard about that my first thought was that McCartney should stick to music. He's good at that.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and make an educated guess that you, too, are a fan of McCartney's music and that you had a similar reaction to his assertion that Bush is stupid and Obama is smart.

Having said that, I can guarantee you that there are millions of stupid people in this country who heard about that and thought something along the lines of, "Paul McCartney is a great musician and I like him, so if he thinks President Bush is stupid and President Obama is smart then I should too." That's why the MSM pushed the "McCartney thinks Bush is stupid and Obama is smart" meme for weeks on end.

That's the same monumental stupidity and atomic shallowness demonstrated in this poll. Simply because Kanye says he loves Trump, millions of unthinking morons have decided they should too. In a few weeks they'll hear something else from another celebrity they adore and return to hating Trump again.

I don't care what Kanye's message is, it's the incredible stupidity, shallowness, laziness and devotion to celebrity of the followers that bothers me. Then, just to make matters worse, these same unthinking morons have the power to cancel the v**es of those who actually put some thought into v****g. That's d********g.
