People Are Stupid, Especially Here In Jesusland

“Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.” - Martin Luther King, Jr.

Too many American people are stupid. Outside the possibility of mass voter fraud in this past election, that is the only rational conclusion that can be made.

How else do you explain how people weighed the ever-so-frightening possibility of gay marriage versus the economy, joblessness, the Iraq war, the raping of the environment, the rise of poverty levels, the faltering education system, and the fact that 9/11 happened because the Bush Administration was asleep at the switch… and the fear of gay marriage won?

If it weren’t so tragic, it might be funny that the most scientifically advanced country on the planet took a quantum leap backwards to the Dark Ages because a small majority of the electorate was too stupid or naïve for its own good. Obviously, it is certainly more important to suppress the rights of people whose lifestyles you don’t agree with than making the country and the world a better place for all – as in “with liberty and justice for all” – because that’s what Jesus would have done.

Jesusland

I live in the ironically named Jesusland. That’s the land comprised of all the Red States for those who haven’t seen the map. Incidentally, red is also the most common neck color in Jesusland. I say Jesusland is ironically named because the people of the region don’t follow the words of Jesus much, despite their claims of devotion to Him. Jesus didn’t believe in war. Jesus didn’t believe in discrimination. Jesus believed in charity. Jesus believed in peace and love. This is supposed to be the “Moral Majority” yet the politicians these people vote for are the most corrupt, unscrupulous, hateful, and immoral people around. In Texas, namely Tom DeLay; a very large unscrupulous turd that should be flushed ASAP, is just one example. The obvious, undisputed, all-time “King of the Turds” that should have been flushed on Nov. 2 was President George W. Bush.

But the inhabitants of Jesusland felt he was worth another big whiff.

The Rove-n-berry Kool-aid

These are the effects of drinking the Rove-n-berry Kool-aid. Rove-n-berry Kool-aid makes one ignore facts, no matter how obvious, and believe anything the Bush Administration says. It seems the honchos in corporate media have replaced the contents of the water cooler with Rove-n-berry Kool-aid. In the media’s case, it makes them continually repeat the misinformation that comes from the Bush Administration.  And, it seems, the mainstream media keeps going back for seconds.

It worked so well that the citizens of Jesusland voted for more of the same. More of the same president who fails to take responsibility for his rather extensive record of monumental mistakes. More of the same president who lies to them about just about everything. 

Only a moron (or population of them) could vote for the man who was asleep at the switch when the country was attacked. Only that same population of morons would vote for the man who has lied to them consistently, even sending their spouses, siblings, and children to their deaths in a war that has been proven to have no basis. Meanwhile, the morons are much worse off financially than when King George of Jesusland first took office - their children’s education continues to fall behind those of all those foreigners’ children - but By-God, the morons can have assault weapons and them queers can’t get married! 

Albert Einstein once said: “Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.”

Me either, Professor.
