Go forth on the Fourth!

I've been trying to grasp for a truth that is so obvious that all of us know it. But it's not a polite truth, so we don't talk about it. Yet I think it's important to say it out loud, because it is a truth that haunts our national discourse.
As a nation we are under the thumb of idiots. Not just indoctrinated, or wrong-thinking, or power-hungry, or manipulative, or even malevolent people. No, I mean real lowbrows, people who constantly fall for really stupid ideas. Neanderthals. (Look at the Governor of California just running the state budget into the ground. See what I mean? That's not just incompetence. It takes special stupidity, almost a deliberate, willful absence of real thinking.)
The Federal EPA is about to officially declare carbon dioxide to be a pollutant. That's not just false and unscientific; it's not just an excuse for taxing everything in sight, including breathing. It's not merely wrong. It's idiotic. It marks a low point in our national conversation. Scientists or engineers with a grain of sense shouldn't be taking the EPA seriously for a second. Forget the "climate experts," with their grossly inadequate computer models. Normally intelligent people should boggle at the EPA. They are bizarre. Only the truly ignorant could fall for this level of ignorance. Or those who just can't think.

Where is it on our side other than a few scattered guys like Pence, Cantor and Coburn?
Suckers
I admit falling for Arnold’s persona, but he was out of his league. Look at Obama making health care pronouncements when he is totally unqualified. Pelosi, Obama and the rest believe in a global warming fairy tale and that the earth is about to be destroyed.
We have picked horrible crazy leaders.
The problem is that there are a heck of a lot more of them than us.
We all need to go forth with truth.
Overcoming the ‘Can you believe Michael Jackson is dead?’ vote is tough to do...
The left knows damn well what it’s doing.....Cloward-Piven!!!
...and useful idiots like Arnold,Timmy Geithner, and the idiot savants of academia are all just doing their part.
On the Good Ship Lolly-Pop,
It’s a Nice Trip,,,
The Adults Say,
IceBurg Ahead !
Most people I know don't have a clue and they don't care.
Idiocracy !
awful movie.
Congress and most voters = Lowbrows..
Go forth on the Fourth!
The intelligent hardworking people are out making a living. Very few of us have the sense of civil duty to want to enter the lion’s den of public office. Rush Limbaugh has said “I don’t want to take a pay cut”. COWARD I say!!!!!
Best explanation of government and the MSM that I have seen to date. Not much more to say.
We are where we are today because we have failed to make certain that bad behavior is punished. Sometimes it's seems to be more trouble than it's worth. And there are dozens of other reasons, but when all is said and done people have been able to engage in bad, even destructive, behavior without paying the price in bad consequences.
California, and US, politicians have raided the public purse and lined their own pockets non-stop for 50 plus years now. And, with few exceptions, they've only benefited from the disgraceful behavior. They get great salaries, tremendous benefits, outstanding health care, reserved parking spaces, franking privilege for their mail, limos with drivers, the list goes on and on and on. And when they finally run out of ways to buy the votes of the citizenry using the citizenry's own money, they retire to a lifetime of plush comfort in the bed they spent all those years in office lining at, again, the citizenry's expense.
They don't even get voted out of office, let alone go to jail! Until we change that the follies will continue to grow bigger and bolder.
Oh, it is worse than awful, yet we are moving in that direction at lightening speed. I mean barry doesn’t sound much different than that wrestler belt wearing pres that’s in the movie.
Bonus points awarded for saying it before I did!
Idiocracy.... a movie about how stupid Americans become..... silly, funny, scary, but with a black President named Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho - maybe we really are headed toward this
