How The Rest Of The World Sees Us

This is going to be copied, directly, word for word, form the December 16, 2011 copy of, "The Week" magazine.  It was on page 16.  And the article was titled, "How they see us:  The GOP makes a virtue of ignorance.

The Republican presidential contest  in America is a, freak show" said Marc Pi in the German, Der Spiegel.  The candidates vie with one another to spew the most outrageous hard-right positions, denying evolution while endorsing torture and joking about electrocuting illegal immigrants.  How did a major, party in the worlds sole superpower  become a "club of liars, debtors, betrayers, adulterers, exaggerators, hypocrites, and ignoramuses?"  Those know-nothings are enabled by a U.S. Press that has been "neutered by the demands of political correctness" so that it can't say what's obvious:  These people are daft!  Instead, it proclaims one clown after the next to be, "The New Front Runner".  The current favorite, Newt Gingrich, is actually considered an intellectual merely because he can create sentences with multiple clauses.  Scarcely a one has even the most basic grasp of foreign policy.  ONE said Africa is a country, another that the  Taliban rule in Libya.  Collectively, "they expose a political economic, geographic, and historical ignorance that makes, George W. Bush  look like  a scholar".

And it gets worse.

That's the scariest part, said, Lorraine Millot in the Paris, Liberation. The only GOP candidate who knows  a thing about diplomacy, Jon Huntsman, is dead last in most polls.  The others "Kareem to extreme positions that include starting new wars and abandoning old allies"  and that's when they even have a position.  Herman Cain, now thankfully out of the race, was the front-runner even though he couldn't find a single coherent word to say about President Obama's policy on Lybia.  He even boasted of knowing little about foreign countries.  And yet it was his adultery, not his astounding ignorance, that brought him down.

There's a simple, "sexplaninatation" for this bizarre phenomenon, said Max Hastings in the London, Daily Mail, in the, "lunatic, gun toting, of Americas hicks-ville, country" it's considered suspiciously elitist to show any interest in modern science or any world beyond America's borders.

Is that what we want our politicians to be?

End quote:  Now?  It's just me.  And I have to say, "FUCK NO!"  Why do the smartest, the most hard working, the folks who should be in Unions, keep electing the dumbest, right wing, Republican, motherfuckers!  When they don't have their best interests at heart?

Well, guns and abortion.  I'm a Liberal Democrat with more guns than YOU!  A whole safe full.  I buy ammo by the case!

And it's been 1973 since Roe V. Wade.  Republicans could have overturned it a million times.  But they didn't, because they need to keep you believing they will.  Bullshit.

I ADOPTED MY SON!  But his, birth mothers decision was HERS!  Not some Congressman!  As it should be.  His birth mom GAVE US our son.  Also, as it should be.

How many guns you need?  Knock yourself out.  Us Democrats don't give a shit.  I have a whole safe full of them.  Love to shoot.  You think we're coming for yours?  You're not paying attention.  You think you protect yourself from a, "Tyrannical Government" with your guns?  Good luck with that.  The Tyrannical Government has an Army.  And an Air Force.  A Navy.  The Marines. A Coast Guard.  And a million times the ammo you kept in your mom's storage room!  So get over it.  Nut ball.

You want to protect yourself from a, "Tyrannical Government"?  VOTE!  And vote for Democrats, because they have not taken away your gun rights, or tapped your phones, or told you what you can do in your bedroom, or with whom you can do it!

Because if you don't?  You only buy your books at Costco, and you only get your news from, "Faux News", which is NOT news!  It's just, unadulterated, BULLSHIT!  Dressed up as news.

Wake up America!  You've been duped,  And you've sent your kids to be killed in the duping.  Get a clue.
