America, The Stupid

[EdwardBaiamonte]

When the House went tea party republican, stupidity attained a new level of stupid.

why??? The Tea Party is for limited government just as our Founders were? Does the liberal really think our Founders were stupid???

 

[Quantum Windbag]

Tea Party iz stoopid but we're kicking your ass so where does that put youze?

You are? How's that? Bush and his sidekick Cheney are gone, the senate is still sane, as for the house, retards often get elected there, so I wouldn't count that as a win. Oh and how are those jobs coming along, or have the communists stole them all. You said it, stupid has a new level of stupid, tea party stupid.

...Rich people are stupid? How did they mange to get rich in the first place?

I will post something later that explains why money does not control politics. It will involve a history lesson, something you really need to pay more attention to.

You obviously know few rich people, I happen to know lots have risen up the food chain. I'll be waiting for your apology for greed. This needs work as republicans are still failing. http://www.usmessageboard.com/politics/186726-republican-ideology-through-history-7.html#post4251322

I already replied to your history lesson way back when you posted it.

Who is it that controls Public Education? It aint the Religious types. Cause if that were true, then Public School kids would be winning those Scripps Spelling Bees.

When WAS the last time that happened?

Have you ever heard of Texas or Tennesse?

Hail yaw. Then tharza football temez !

 

[Douger]

I don't think that America is the stupid but it is very nice country.....

On USMB the other day a fake commencement address by a right wing talking head is praised as the best ever. Since I know many teachers, and the work they do, and the difficulties they face in a society in which only money and sports are worshipped, I took umbrage with such nonsense.

My solution to the buffoon's 'libelous'* speech - I am not sure what word to use when someone who earns their living talking shit all day criticizes people who actually contribute to society - was the old fashioned one, a good punch in the mouth followed by a toss off the stage. How else could you rationally debate a total jackass.

I was raised in a world in which the teacher was in charge in the classroom and the student listened. Today in America every moron, with equally moronic parents, is not only right, but the teachers wrong. And then when asked why our students do so poorly, the teachers are blamed. Imagine if little Joanie studied instead of texting and kicking a ball all evening?

America is becoming stupid because the ideas of fools are taken serious, consider Fox as an example, its listeners know nothing about the world, or consider Rush Limbaugh's nonsense, then there is Coulter, Savage, Beck, Hannity, et al, can anyone think of dumber media personalities? Lots out there. Big money fools support the stupid because the stupid say and write and print what the big money fools want them to say. Consider the revisionist stupidity from Jonah Goldberg? Seriously, are these fools the best the conservatives can bring to the table today?

Liberals today need to call a spade a spade, stupidity is sponsored by the wealthy stupid, and the greedy stupid, and the ideological stupid, stupidity has gone on too long. Every fool gets a Koch, Simmons, Perry, Murdoch et al soapbox when the fool argues against the American values that made this country great, so it time we too call stupid stupid. Unapologetic, I have to say anyone who praises Neal Boortz's fake commencement address is kinda stupid, nah, let's be honest, really stupid.

"Quite possibly, this belief in our own opinion, regardless of the facts, may be what separates us from the nations of the world, what makes us unique in God’s eyes. The average German or Czech, though possibly no less ignorant than his American counterpart, will probably consider the possibility that someone who has spent his life studying something may have an opinion worth considering. Not the American. Although perfectly willing to recognize expertise in basketball, for example, or refrigerator repair, when it comes to the realm of ideas, all folks (and their opinions) are suddenly equal. Thus evolution is a damned lie, global warming a liberal hoax, and Republicans care about people like you." Mark Slouka

* When a right wing talking head condemns a whole group as incompetent, he not makes himself the fool, but his criticism paints a false portrait of a noble profession. Stupid speech is stupid speech and should be labeled stupid.

where? I want to read the funny. Neal Boortz? never mind.

Make sure you listen till the end. Maybe 'stupid' is just what right wing media thinks of their listeners and they're just being dishonest in hopes their listeners are really stupid? You think? Or are their listeners just stupid and honesty has no place in this world nor does it really matter? What a conundrum.

Alli,

How have you been? Haven't heard from you in a long time, after you changed your name I missed your usually intelligent commentary. So when you counter the 'Stupid' OP let me know I'd be curious on your position and would love to get a real challenge from the right. Usually you guys just whine and cry the sky is falling. Have a good day, and thanks for taking the time to read and reply to my OP.

Is America's population more intelligent(higher standards) then let's say Mexico, Brazil, South Africa, Congo, Kenya? I'd say America has room to improve, but stupid, no!

 

[Interpol]

Hey man, that's what American Exceptionalism is all about these days, didn't ya know?

We have the freedom to be as stupid as we wanna be!

WooHOOOOOOO!!

 

[Wiseacre]

What we have here is the typical left-wing concept of everyone but themselves. Everyone else is a dumbfuck, not smart enough to make reasoned decisions about their lives and what is in the best interests of their country. So, the decisions must be made for them, by the educated elite who of course know better. This has been the liberal mindset for at least the last century, and it ain't going to change.

I was just thinking that this was a bone of contention back in the beginning; There were those who thought that only the landed gentry and business people were smart enough to vote and make informed decisions about what should be done. They did not prevail, thank goodness.

Better than 70 percent of the world. Room to improve.

Folks, I take it all back. America is not stupid, and this new show brought me back into the light. Boo Boo, I thank you. Watch the related youtubes as well, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa!

"So I have no peroration or clarion note on which to close. Beware the irrational, however seductive. Shun the 'transcendent' and all who invite you to subordinate or annihilate yourself. Distrust compassion; prefer dignity for yourself and others. Don't be afraid to be thought arrogant or selfish. Picture all experts as if they were mammals. Never be a spectator of unfairness or stupidity. Seek out argument and disputation for their own sake; the grave will supply plenty of time for silence. Suspect your own motives, and all excuses. Do not live for others any more than you expect others to live for you." Christopher Hitchens 'letters to a young contrarian'

This is a stupid post.

So the OP is shooting himself in the foot, aside from half his diatribe being lies.

Oh I don't disagree that Americans are stupid. Our jobs are being shipped overseas, the dollar is crashing, the economy sucks.

But what do people care about? "Dancing with the Stars".

I don't know if it can be turned around.

And I agree, Americans are stupid. They bought obama's pack of lies and even knowing full well he was nothing more than a little boy raised by radicals and had zero experience, enough of them voted for the fucker anyway. Yes, that was incredibly stupid. America is slipping academically, and it's because LIBERALS have almost TOTAL CONTROL over the education system. They have NO ONE to blame but themselves for the dumbing down of America.

But hey, you can get a medal just for showing up!

 

[daveman]

What a sad, pathetic little person. Calls others "stupid" but can't seem to come up with a single example of someone saying or doing something that proves the point.

Someone in this discussion is definitely stupid.

He's using the standard leftist definition of stupid: "Someone who disagrees with me."

Because, you know, being a liberal automatically makes you smart and stuff.

 

[daveman]

Parody is "libel" to the OP.

That's pretty funny.

Midcan's in luck. I hear Obamacare will cover Chronic Stick-Up-The-Ass as a pre-existing condition.

And you know what's really funny about the left's elitist notion that they have to dictate decisions to the proles?

Even the most uneducated, ignorant, and stupid of the left believe they're qualified to run everyone else's lives.

As we see here every day.

I've said it before: Holding to a set of beliefs -- liberalism -- isn't an accomplishment worthy of praise and respect. It doesn't give your opinions the weight of fact.

And the people who believe it does are incapable of understanding that basic fact.

Your ignorance concerning the matter is glaring like the sun..

'Glaring' means giving off a dazzling light.

Giving off light usually refers to 'enlightenment,' 'revelation,' or learning.

Aiming to insult the poster, you have, instead, revealed a startling lack of ability in this area.

Unfortunately, you have no future in writing opinions…the good news? You are qualified to write what is the most lucrative of compositions: ransom notes.

Blimpo is spot on when it comes to education.

I'll put the resume of your average TEA Party member up against the resume of your average OWS park-pooper any day.

 

[blimpo]

There was a picture in the paper of a Tea Party rally the other day and 75% at least were over 60.

With what has been said about Medicare and SS, you'd have to be deaf, ignorant or both to still think they are on the right track to stop all spending.
