They are seemingly beyond hope. When Obama can't even make common sense suggestions regarding backgrounds checks without getting shouted down by the right wing and their usual nonsensical arguments, what chance is there?

I feel for the segment of the US population that actually has their heads on straight and has to deal with the ridiculous knuckle draggers of the country that just never seem to get it.

Its kind of scary that logic and maturity has become something to attack in American politics and policy making, and simple minded bravado is celebrated (by many).
