The Society of The Lowest Common Denominator is a term I invented for the end result of Socialism and Politically Correct Pseudo Interllectual Fascism. It describes a society where everyone is condemed to the level of the slowest, weakest, most interlectually inadiquate and emotionally crippled.
You can't give an honest opinion on fedd back forms in case someone is offended? Talk about the society of the lowest common denominator!

Common Denominator

A Justin Bieber love-meets-mathematics song.
Strangely, no one gets the lyrics right on any site.
Person #1: "Just a fraction of your love fills the aiir...."
Person #2: "Hey, isn't that Common Denominator by Justin Bieber ?"
Person #1: "It is !"
Person #2: "I love that song, but I can't find the right lyrics on the net"
Person #1: "Neither can I, who understands a song about math anyway ?"

Lowest Common Denominator

In relation to people, they are the simplest group in a population. They have the simplest opinions, the simplest views and the simplest lifestyles. They are the unsophisticated (which is not correlated to the amount of happiness they have - in fact, living a simple life may make you even more happy than living a sophisticated one). Because these people do not think as much as a sophisticated person, they tend to be more naive and more gullible to gut feelings, and the ingrained culture and social laws that are around them. Their trust is easily earned.

In terms of politics, this can be taken advantage of when politicians use their persona and the gut feelings of their audience to gain followers, even when their policies and views might be to their disadvantage.
Those GOP candidates like to target the lowest common denominators in each state because it's easy followers for them. I mean, who would follow Rick Santorum because of a sweater vest?

loudest common denominator

An opinion that does not reflect the majority view but is spoken as though it does by its proponents. Opposite of silent majority.
Congressional Republicans may not have anything to offer on health care reform but they did a nice job of getting the loudest common denominator to town meetings to shout down Democrats who supported Obama's plan.
