Welcome to the nation of rednecks

At least half of Americans are lazy, morbidly obese ignoramuses who can't wait to hear the worst about anyone, then spread it without regard to the truth. They pose as good Christians but are anything but. I was raised by these willfully-ignorant rednecks and fled at the earliest opportunity, but before long they came waddling along on the AM radio dial, spurred by GOP tricksters to take over and wreck the country. There is no force more at odds with civilization than the American redneck. They resent having to pay any taxes, and of course taxes are the price you pay for civilization.

Original article: The swing states of 2008

So it's the racists who get to decide

Join me in shaming the disgusting fat redneck pigs who have held this country back behind every other industrial nation in civilization. Now we read that they are probably going to decide again in states like Pennsylvania, Ohio and everywhere else the 700 pound hick redneck waddles. What is missing is any SHAMING of these porkers as they deserve for what they have done to a great country. Filthy fat racists need to be SHAMED at every opportunity so they know just how despicable they are, since now they tune into Faux News or AM radio and are told they are the ones with common sense! For shame, you filthy disgusting morbidly obese REDNECKS! Take your shriveled Bush and crawl back into your huge holes.

Original article: New heights of stupidity

Yes, they are that stupid

This brings to mind what Walter Cronkite, the "most trusted man in America" during my lifetime who broke the news of Vietnam´s loss and man on the moon, said after the 2004 reelection of Bush: voters no longer have the critical reasoning capacity to choose wisely between an overqualified candidate and a transparent nitwit. Without this, no democracy can survive.

But it is much worse. There is in the character of the very same middle Americans who claim to be such "Good Christians" a fatal flaw where hearing the worst about someone takes precedence over ANY notion of good citizenship, or even self survival. To ask how working Americans could vote so diametrically opposite of their economic interests, you only need to look at the poll last year where half of the population through they were wealthy. This level of cluelessness is a level of stupidity that goes beyond putting our democracy at risk, it actually guarantees our failure.

So when the most common saying can be spun into a smear by the candidate who has tried mightily to stay above board, and whose supporters are pleading for him to go low into the gutter to even have a chance, there you have the last gasp of a great country whose own forced stupidity did it in.

Would that it were not. Greed alone assures it thus.

Taken down by the least of us

Why would the fate of a great country on the brink of total ruin come down to the stupidest people on earth? These people aren´t just bigots, they are without a grain of common sense to fall for the very same neo-conjob which has cost them their jobs, raises, pay equity, house, health care, etc. The rest of the country has not wanted to face this, but we are truly doomed as a nation by possibly the stupidest people on the planet. As was featured on the front page of the Berlin daily recently, for the first time in history there are people - 30% in red state America - who have eaten themselves to death, something not even a pig will do. So the world watches in horror as people who are dumber than pigs, waddle to the polls to complete the ruin they brought on us.

Dumb as rocks

Reading some of the comments from voters in this article, I am reminded that "the most trusted man in America," Walter Cronkite, pronounced our democracy dead of voter stupidity after the 2004 election. These morons have learned nothing. You would think that even at the average American's sixth grade level they could put together that voting for someone to have a beer with and all of its disastrous consquences (total ruin got your attention?) might be the equivalent of "she has nice legs." Yet the half of the popoulation who are idiot rednecks plan to use their ruinous instincts again and finish the job.

In every country in the world, they teach that it was these dumbasses that brought down the greatest country. Students watch Farenheit 9/11 to see the evil that overcame us, then cable networks overseas show endless viewings of "The Green Mile" to underline the bottomless depravity which is the moronic Southern redneck. The least of us has brought us to this end. We are literally at their mercy and the Hope is quite specifically that they could wise up in time to vote smart and save their disgusting morbidly obese fat asses.
