It is said that socialism is the equal distribution of misery, but I
would argue that it is also the equal distribution of stupidity. Since
we cannot ‘redistribute’ intelligence and knowledge, we have to dumb
down everyone else to the level of the least-common denominator.
We hire stupid teachers, give them tenure, and they teach our kids
pressing subjects on gender, race, and other grievances, along with the
cause du jour, because being stupid is the best way to insure another
generation of stupidity while kids in Japan, China, and South Korea are
learning to kick our stupid ass.
We hire presenters, who invite stupid
talking heads on their shows to mock others about topics on which they
obviously know little to nothing while deeming those they mock to be
stupid.
We not only elect stupid politicians, who believe that Guam may tip
over or Neil Armstrong planted an American flag on Mars, we morons and
moronettes BEG them to make the decisions concerning our
healthcare, children, housing, finances, contracts, relationships,
transportation, food, drugs, security, etc, for us.
We punish success and honour failure because we are stupid.
We frown upon work and promote mooching because we are stupid.
We consider classical goals of real education, enlightenment, and
intelligence to be passé while American Idol, ‘The Preezy of the United
Steezy,’ Honey Boo-Boo, Girls, the Kardashians, etc, are the epitome of
culture and attainment because we are stupid.
We denigrate the responsible ownership of guns, but champion pot smoking because we are stupid.
We snort at a culture of life, but embrace a culture of death because we are stupid.
We celebrate shameful liars and laugh at 'squares' because we are stupid.
We rush to blame and label as terrorists an entire group of people
for merely invoking the tried and true principles upon which this
country was founded, but are willfully blind, suspend disbelief, and
seek to be held hostage to the increasing demands made by members of a
misogynistic, homophobic, racist, child-abusing, xenophobic,
tribalistic, antisemitic, Christophobic, maniacal, homicidal, suicidal,
totalitarian, 7th century death cult because we are stupid.
We twice elect as President a man, who claims to be a champion of the
middle class, but has eviscerated it and enriched those very ‘fat-cats’
he claims have unfair advantages, lies to the American people
constantly, and blames America for problems in other countries while he
is in them, as though he is some Frenchman and not the American that he
claims, and overlooking the role he has played, because we are stupid.
We seriously doubt that 35 year-old, educated, financially-secure
women are equipped to make decisions about the type of health insurance
policies that would best serve their needs, but are convinced that 15
year-old girls are mature, intelligent, and informed enough to make
decisions about birth control because we are stupid.
We spend billions on faerie-tale green energy projects that go
bankrupt and have shown no real ability to deliver producible energy
sources in commercial quantities and send hundreds of billions overseas
to petro-basketcases, who are our enemies or fund them, while we have
enough proven reserves in oil to last 100 years and natural gas to last
at least 200 because we are stupid.
We borrow trillions from countries like China, pay them interest, and
then send money to fund projects in the form of stimulus or foreign aid
to those same countries because we are stupid.
We believe that trees and animals are people with rights, but corporations are not because we are stupid.
We believe that children are better off aborted because humans are
bad for the environment and we can ‘import our kids’ like they did in
Europe, which has worked out so well for them, because we are stupid.
We believe that drains have more of a right to immigrate to the
United States because they come from the formerly colonialised world and
we owe them than the brains from those countries that might have been
colonialisers because we are stupid.
We believe that maintaining our borders is racist but every other
country on the planet should have a right to decide who gets to visit,
work, and/or live in theirs because we are stupid.
We believe that government spending is capitalism without the evils
like greed, cronyism, and corruption, like real capitalism because we
are stupid.
We believe that salad bowls are better than melting pots because we are stupid.
We believe that the best forms of government and economics are those
that have failed repeatedly while routinely denouncing our own, which
have sustained the most freedom and prosperity in the history of the
world, because we are stupid.
Frankly, as a country, we are too broke to be so stupid.
