It's time to let the world know just how stupid we are. So let's show 'em.

[Unknowing]

We are at war now, and other threats loom large. The President understands this war, and is drawing a hard line. Our enemies fear him. The President understands the importance of the Second Amendment, and the whole Constitution, and will protect our rights. The President will never "go along to get along" with Europeans or anyone else. The President is the better man, the more honest and the more spiritually humble.

Mr. Kerry would have initiated a sea change in American foreign policy, a strategy of disengagement and retreat. Mr. Kerry disrespected our loyal allies in this war, particularly Poland and Italy. It is no coincidence that these are nations where the people there have very strong Christian values. Kerry supporters are always bashing Christianity -- just listen to Air America for about fifteen minutes. At home, Mr. Kerry would have infringed our Second Amendment rights, appointed left-wing radicals to positions of power, and pushed for amnesty for illegals.

I am not stupid because I do indeed have 21 full years of formal education to my credit, including two postgraduate degrees, which I have to apply to real-world conditions in order to survive. I know only that I don't really know anything. I have travelled all over this country, and know a lot of different kinds of people. I know how to question my own thinking, and I do use reason to question approximately everything. I read news from sources all over the world on a daily basis, and carefully evaluate the sources and information therein.

I am proud to be a FReeper and be in the company of some pretty damn impressive people.

I have a BS and a Ph.D from MIT, both in Physics.

I can do Cauchy integrals

I work in non proliferation and counter terrorism

I served in the Marine Corps reserve and was a platoon commander in the first Gulf War.

I have three beautiful children and they are all smarter and better than I.

I go to church.

My daughter spends her spring breaks building houses in Mexico with our church.

I voted for George Bush, and proud of it.

I found a letter I wrote in rebuttal to a liberal friend of one of my daughters. A relevant excerpt follows:

Moreover, I was one of those people who got sent over to meddle in foreign affairs. But, they didn't even try to make it sound noble like "supposedly saving lives". I was sent over to fight for oil. The liberals were quite willing to trade my blood for their oil. I had the chance to get out--I was well past serving my contract, but that would mean that someone else would go in my place. So, it would be his blood for my oil. But only a Clinton supporter would do that. I decided to fight for my own goddamn oil. So, there I was, the typical, exploitive, robber baron Republican, living in a hole in the desert, eating MREs, and showering out of a canteen cup, while the compassionate liberals were driving their BMW's at home.
But, I'm sure they felt my pain.

[eyespysomething]

Are you my father-in-law?

[luckystarmom]

I'm one of those "crazy" born-again, white Christian Texans (now I live in California).

I believe that marriage is between a man and a woman.

I believe that Saddam Hussein broke a treaty, and that is why the US was justified into going into Iraq.

I don't want a leader that decides what his position is based on an opinion poll.

I also have a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science with a minor in chemistry. My husband and my son have IQs around 130. I think my daughter is even smarter than my son, but she has never had her IQ tested.

We really fit the bill of those ignorant Bush voters.

[wimpycat]

My in-laws are new American citizens, and this was their first presidential election. They voted for the first time in 2002. They have lived in the U.S. for over 30 years, but after 9/11, when they witnessed the anti-American reaction up close and personal because they were in Spain at the time, they decided to take the plunge and pursue U.S. citizenship.

My mother-in-law is from Spain, has a Masters Degree in philosophy and a Ph.D. in Romance languages.

My father-in-law is from Chile, and is a recently retired psychiatrist.


They voted for George W. Bush.

[woofie]

Here is the homepage of some of my friends down the street...I dont know if they voted this time but I do know they vote Democrat and still have a picture of Bill Clinton on the wall....

[ditto h]

I grew up in New Jersey, my wife grew up in Hawaii. We have always been republicans.

[harbinger of doom]

Justify my intelligence?

I voted for George W. Bush

That's more than enough, afterall, it ain't rocket science

[Politicalmom]

I am a native Californian...who moved to GA.

I have a degree and a professional credential, and my husband is a computer professional.(Hence the reason for leaving CA)

We are raising four kids. I don't want my children to be taught that homosexuality is "normal".

I don't want to have to TRY to explain to my children why a mommy would kill her baby....and I have already had to do that with my oldest.

[sassbox]

my husband has a masters degree in Anglo-Saxon literature.

He knows Latin, Spanish, Old NOrse, Old English, Hebrew, Greek, French, and Irish.

He got a 1600 on his SAT

I am getting a PhD in philosophy from the top program in the country (Rutgers)

I got a 2320 on my GRE and a 1530 on my SAT

We live in New Jersey

We believe in evolution

We believe in feminism

BUT we also believe in God, America, the free market, the right to life, and the sanctity of marriage so I guess we're just a couple of mouth-breathing redneck idiots. We voted for Bush after all, so we must be dumb, right?

Now if you'll excuse me, I have some snakes to go handle!

[ohCompGk]

I'm one of the Rednecks that live in UpOnDaHill, OH.

I like watching deer run through my yard.

I like not having to lock my door.

My son did get his Red Ryder BB gun (and hasn't shot out his eye yet).

I didn't get a degree but have been working in positions that require one for 25 years.

I don't think I like the idea of privatizing SS.

I do respect the sanctity of marriage.

I've come to the belief that Woodstock was a socialist/communist event and not a pacifist one.

I got pissed when I saw the left side of the house, to a man, refuse to support the President at the State of The Union Address when he tried to profess defense of marriage.

I voted for Mr. Bush because of his ability to lead us down the RIGHT path at the split in the road no matter how painful that choice is.

Oh, yes. And there was that Senator they pushed against him. Did anybody think that any living person that served in the military not remember the name Jane Fonda?

[hollyberry53]

I am a fisherman, not a fisher.
and a college graduate..my husband went to U of WA for two years but liked commercial fishing better.
We own and run an 80 ft. seiner and fish the North & South Pacific.
We know you are only as good as your last load. (of fish, silly)
The New York Times crossword makes me cross-eyed. My IQ is Mensa grade, but the non-academic kind. ( that's why I shovel squid & sardines around )
I like GW because he is results oriented and he likes to whack brush.
I like GW because he takes it to the enemy. He gets respect.
I like GW because he is loyal and a real American, unlike the high falutin Jean Francois.
My husband and I voted for GW. He is true blue and it was the right thing to do.

[Mister Baredog]

I can do the New York Times crossword puzzle in fifteen minutes.

I'm impressed, that's kewl. I'm only able to do the LA Slimes Sunday crossword in about a week, but I still voted for Bush six times(just kidding).

[tophat9000]

So if it true that wisdom is knowing that you know nothing....what does the say about the left that is sure they know everything?

(The only people that are cock sure that they know everything and everyone else is just stupid are teenager's and the left)

[Casloy]

I voted for Bush for one simple reason. Even if a decision he makes now and then is wrong, he at least makes decisions and they are made because he believes what he is doing is right for the country. He never puts his finger to the wind to see what is going to make him look good. It's called leadership, something that was in short supply in the 90's.

[atomicweeder]

I am a filmmaker.

I've read everything from Camus to Plato to Heinlein to Shakespeare and even Grisham.

I have a software patent.

I've been to see Rembrandt's works Amsterdam, cathedrals in Venice, and film festivals in Berlin.

I hitchhiked into Switzerland to go skiing.

I'm a Southerner.
