(B)lather, rinse and repeat. Isn't that nice...
real neocons aren't nearly that lucid when they talk.
That pretty much covers it.
That this shit happen to United State.
All your Baghdad base are belong to us.
"After 9/11, stupidity became patriotic in America"
Come on, Tom, have you really forgotten the Reagan era?
Indeed. It's well past time to call a stupid a stupid. John McCain = the second coming of Archie Bunker. Only less funny.
I would be ecstatic if the right wing of the republican party were simply motivated by stupidity.
Unfortunately I think its a nasty combination of greed for oil money and war profiteering, trashing the constitution in order to establish the permanent dominance of their political party (its funny that they used to call Democrats communists), arrogance all greased with raw stupidity.
If they just stupid I'd have a lot easier time forgiving the bastards for the damage they've caused this country...
from letting 9/11 happen,
to lying us into a disastrous war,
for not capturing Bin Laden,
for making torture something that Americans do,
for causing crisis after crisis in the housing mortgage market, the energy markets (enron anyone) by passing harebrain deregulation laws at the behest of corporate cash making theft legal for corporations, by ......... OK, this could go on all night.
Prosecute those &^$%&ds and throw away the key.
Patriotic Americans will spray-paint, "Good Grammar!" on houses and stores, so that NeoCon Storm Troopers will know where to find enemies to arrest and imprison.
Tom, that's, "gud gramer."
Geez, you don't want to be found out, do you?
mindless jingoist prattle had a 90%+ approval rating after 911 and for almost a year after. Please please don't try to tell me the bitter trust fund communists here, the group that helped foist the Congress we have right now, on us, were the people thinking clearly and were it not for those evil white fat guys and Jews with their evil plots, We'd ALL have rainbows of free fusion powered sunshine blasting out of our asses, just like Obama. No, dear readers, you're all stupid. Stark staring stupid.
I don't know who you're talking to, but I never approved of the Bush administration, before or after Sept. 11. Never voted for the guy either.
I was 15 and I was still pretty darn sure that Bush was a douchebag.
All your Satan are belong to us.
And your idea of measured debate is throwing a brick through a Starbucks window to prove to that hot chick how revolutionary and shit you are. But hey, you're blawghers. You must be so smart. Only smart people get to be in the blawgher club.
All your Starbucks are belong to us.
I take it all back Klytus. haha Love it!
Hmm, he can read... his speech is composed of full sentences, but he couldn't quite get out a full paragraph without using "9-11".
He must be one of their chieftains.
his spelling does need work.
Sub-chieftain.
if Obama and McCain are even in the polls.
oooooo. point.
...scheduled for October.
Election not happen. Or not matter.
Congress no like! Pass resolution of stern disapproval before being dissolved.
How story end?
when smart people refuse to call a spade a spade.
We called Reagan a moron. We called Bush an idiot.
American anti-intellectualism predates us all. Twain railed against it...
Send me plans for a TARDIS and I'll go back and convince Jefferson to come out as an atheist... maybe that'll help?
and Pelosi, et al are bastions of hyper intelligence... Here's some reality for you: Bush's approval rating hovering in the 20s. The democrat congress is in single digits. I can't stand any of them, but to suggest that the left is somehow more intelligent than anyone else is the essence of stupidity, that essence being rooted in denial.
Please left, right, and in-betweens, don't be stupid too. Tom got it wrong this time. It's time for a complete re-do. It's ok if your philosophy differs from mine. It's not ok to think that any politician gives a rat's butt what you think, least of all the two running for president.
…when he called ketchup a vegetable, and casual drug users “murderers” while sending arms to the contras and South American death squads.
Ok, sorry to pick on Reagan - though I despised him when he was in power and I am disgusted by how the right reveres the man. He was not universally loved in his day.
Ever since "Santa Clara County v. Southern Pacific Railroad Company" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Clara_County_v._Southern_Pacific_Railroad) determined that corporations have the same rights as individuals, our real rights have been steadily eroded.
"Remember the Maine?" It’s not so much that our leaders are stupid, but rather that they encourage public fear and ignorance in order to cover up evidence of their crimes.
Those of us who grew up during the Watergate era were fortunate enough to witness how the "press" was supposed to protect us from egregious power grabs. If today’s press had been operating during Watergate, Spiro T. Agnew would have presided over the Bicentennial.
Stupidity is alive and well in America. Everywhere else, too, but it seems like we Americans have made an art form of it.
I want to meet some voters who are still "undecided".
I want to meet some of those who changed the polls last week becuase of the Paris / Brittney ads.
I want to ship them all to Texas.
Hang on, sloopy, hang on. Or, as Forest Gump would say, "Stupid is as Stupid does." And just as soon as we get this idiot and his motley crew out of D.C., perhaps we'll begin to see stupidity fall. That is, unless McBush wins the election--which would but prove the stupidity of the American voter.
Mind-set, lock-step loyalty to the Party first, Constitution second.
Bush and Cheney graduated, with Honors.
Then why is it again barely 49% of eligible voters can lug their fat asses off the couch to vote?
I just read "The truth never damages a just cause." Oh oh, that must mean invading Iraq was not a just cause!! Can you believe it?!
The foundational problem is not stupidity or greed, but lack of integrity. Integrity requires courage. Can you imagine someone
running for president who had so much integrity that he or she would have the courage to tell the truth even if it meant losing votes? The closest anyone comes to this ideal might be Nader, as far as I can tell. Look how well he is doing!
