Bicycles As a Gateway To Government Control

somaTh writes "Dan Maes, a candidate for governor of Colorado, thinks he's found an international conspiracy that starts with bike sharing. The article describes his current complaints with the incumbent's policies. 'The bike program in it of itself, if that's all it is, I wouldn't be opposed to it,' Maes told 9NEWS. 'What I am opposed to is if it's part of a bigger program that the mayor has signed on to as part of a UN program. That I would be opposed to.' He goes on to argue that the bicycle program is only a gateway into bigger policies including, but not limited to, forced abortions and population control. I understand that bike seats are uncomfortable, but I had no idea it was on purpose."

No matter how way out these whack-jobs are, there are people who believe them and will vote for them.

One explanation for what you perceive could be that there's a vast conspiracy controlling most of the news media.

Another, much simpler, explanation could be that you're wrong.

Occam's Razor FTW?

How to get elected.

Use people's fears and suck them in.

• Deadbeats sponging off of the Government at taxpayer expense.
• UN taking our sovereignty away
• [Fill in right] will be taken away by other party.
• Other party will tax us more
• Other party will open the flood gates for illegals
• Other party kills babies
• Other party will allow people to marry sheep
• Other party hates God
• Others are against the troops
• Others hate America
• Other isn't tough on [crime, terrorism, drugs, child pornography]

I don't find the politicians as disgusting as the morons who buy into the rhetoric; which unfortunately, they have enough sway to set the tone of politics in this country.
