An Electorate of Cretins - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

He’s flawed, but he’s our guy,” he said. “Roots matter for something in Georgia.” LOL, Jewt has absolutely nothing in common with you, dildo. He's spent his whole life in DC.

“He’s my first choice. I believe he knows more than all of them put together.” He knows how to fuck around on his wives, dodge the draft and get rich off of your taxes. Classy!

Harry Rollins is still making up his mind among the Republican candidates, but he’s leaning toward

because, he said, “he seems to have his act together.” It's most definitely an act and nothing more, douche bag.

As for Gingrich, familiarity in this case worked against the candidate. “I met him and he kind of snubbed me,” said Rollins, 71, of Austell. Probably because you're a dumb ass, Harry.

He doesn’t know much about Santorum, but he likes what he’s heard: “He’s the most evangelical and he’s anti-gay marriage and anti-abortion.” Yeah, brah, let's focus on the shit that really matters!

While she said she believes that

’s Mormon religion is a cult, she likes the fact that it emphasizes good deeds by members. “I could vote for a Mormon,” she said. OMG, he's a fucking Mormon!

Overall, those polled had decidedly mixed feelings on

’s religion, with 36 percent saying they viewed it as a positive, 29 percent defining it as a negative and 35 percent indicating they had no opinion. But the pollsters warned that people’s objections are probably higher than registered in the poll, because some people are hesitant to voice what might be interpreted as intolerance. So they're all as fake as the candidates they support!

So what do you attribute this to? Poor educational system, generational ignorance, the media?

Honestly we need to address the glut of people with poor critical thinking skills if we're going to move forward in this nation.

I have to be honest and admit that I really can't comment on "why" people are so damned stupid. But yes, the lack of critical thinking that infects large swaths of society today is quite disturbing.

Socialism is a much bigger threat than any of these things.. The idea that "Hey, we can just do this, then take a LITTLE MONEY from everyone and socialize the cost!" is a far more dangerous thing than a couple of dumbfucks who think newt is a messiah..

This simple concept has led us to trash our founding document.. Which, in turn, permitted the federal government to be bought out from under us by interests way more powerful and wealthy than Main Street. It's sunk us 15 trillion dollars in debt.. It drives political ideologies and perverts our national politics.. Permitting worthless DC chair polishers to continue to consume space, simply because they promise to socialize the right things, and not the wrong things.. This year, anyway.. It keeps us in a constant state of political paralysis. It locks poor policies into place.
It's the single biggest threat to this country today.

The second biggest threat is Jews rocking preemies.. But the solution for that is simple:

I have to be honest and admit that I really can't comment on "why" people are so damned stupid. But yes, the lack of critical thinking that infects large swaths of society today is quite disturbing.

It will be our downfall.

Ignorant people will gobble up any propaganda that is fed them if it is served up with the flavors they crave. I don't think it's particularly an American thing, but I see the majority of it coming from religiously bent populations (I'm not being particular to any religion here).

That being said, I don't think that religion in of itself is evil, just that when it is taken to extremes and imposed on others. People do need some sort of spiritual connection for the most part, unfortunately most of the time those connections are controlled by men with an agenda.

**RlUbQU3R** · 02-12-2012, 05:06 PM

The second biggest threat is Jews rocking preemies.. Just kidding..

The critical thinking issue is more accurately called "Magical Thinking"

It's kinda like how people on the right see a military solution to everything, and believe a salting of "western values" will "take hold" and displace thousands of years of culture and religion in the middle east overnight..

Or how liberals think the stupid things think think.. Which are FAR too numerous to list here..

Teaching people that reality itself is subjective will never end well.. Because men have an almost infinite capacity to rationalize things away.

Generally speaking: Incurious people fall victim to this.. They aren't interested in the truth for its own sake, and on its own merit as truth. A simple sound byte or some lame justification is all they need to settle the falsehood in their own minds so they can feel good about being wrong.

The ones at the top of the political food chain have to be forgiven.. As they're doing it for reasons of personal profit and control.

This is transparent. It's also inevitable. We've always had these types around.

What gets me is the little people, who should really know better.. They should know they're going to be overwhelmed by forces completely out of their control.. But they stick their head in the noose every time.

It's pretty amazing, actually.

Some people can't manage their own affairs, and maybe in some instances we should let Darwin prevail. I know this is harsh coming from me, but we all know it's a bitter and ugly truth. We can't be the saviors of the universe. We don't have the power or the resources, and we don't really want that responsibility - do we?

AHHAHAHHAHAH... Yeah, but they're not going to be the ones tyrannizing..

They probably think they're striking some great blow against THE MAN! Or

or whoever..

But they aren't.. They're just inviting abuse..

History is worthless if we refuse to learn from it.. Why study it at all? You know how this is going to turn out.

**pataagusata** · 02-12-2012, 05:18 PM

There are a large number of utterly decent, hardworking, spiritual, unsophisticated folk in this nation who don't have the notion to look as deeply into politics and government as some of us.

That does not qualify them as cretins. Left to their own devices, these folks make the nation a very nice, productive, peaceful place to live.
