What do Americans think about the stereotype that they are dumb?
Its hard to dispute that Americans were dumb enough to permit the FED (owned by private international banking interests) to be installed in 1913. Already the President who helped make this happen (as a condition to them financing his campaign) expressed his deep regret over "having caused his country grave harm". Later, when JFK tried to pry the monetary monopoly from the shady 5 private banks that own the FED, he got shot. Yet most Americans are blue-eyed enough to believe that he got killed by some random crackpot. Even now, we have half the population standing behind the NSA's unconstitutional blanket surveillance program, famously willing to "trade freedom for the promise of security" What percentage of the American people actually knows the old saying: "those willing to trade their freedom for security will end up with neither." Oh and The American public isn't even complaining as those pledging their allegiance to the American constitution are classified as "potentially dangerous", thrown in one pot with foreigners with a moslem background... I blame the corporate controlled media for this, and their amazing ability to make Americans believe that their politics consist of a fight between Democrats and Republicans... These are just actors and its a giant smoke screen, a puppet theater to keep you occupied. So yes, until further notice, for a lot of Americans, this isn't just a stereotype, sadly.
