    Morons

    The only way we can limit morons in American life is to make sure that their mothers take their birth control pills. There is no way to make birth control retroactive -- at least legally. Nor can we prevent them from voting if they are able to hide their illiteracy enough to sign their names.

    The fact that some of them can amass just enough brute intellect to think they know something is unfortunate. The fact that a person with the mind of a five-year old can get on the internet and pretend that he or she is a grownup boggles the mind. Nonetheless it happens.

    I frankly don't give a hoot about Obama's religion but I do care about his positions. Mike Bloomberg has had some good things to say about Obama and has attempted to quash some of the rumors because they are not about Obama's religion at bottom. They are about his race. The Muslim thing is a code for saying "Psst, he's a n****" and there is nothing anyone can do about that.
