Well…the ugliest of ugly Americans is stumbling his way around the G-20 conference this weekend wreaking havoc on everything he touches…and, the idiot trump is trying so hard to please his handler Putin that he threw the whole of Western society under the bus…agreeing with Putin that the “liberal idea” has “outlived it’s purpose” and has “become obsolete”….phrases straight out of the communist playbook of the cold war…and who knows if it is by trump’s ignorance, stupidity, or loyalty to Putin that he agreed, but his subsequent comments that he has seen what is going on in Los Angeles and SF that are run by liberal administrations shows that he has no frickin idea what “the liberal idea” means or that the US and the rest of the west are liberal democracies. He hears something that he thinks will play to his radical conservative fascist base, that anything “liberal” is a bad thing, especially when it comes from his buddy Putin and trump is too dumb to understand that Putin is using his ignorance to attack the US on a world stage to further destroy our standing…some thing that trump does on a daily basis…making the US a laughingstock…and trump grins his way through the insults with a stupid grin on his face like a toddler that just made his first crap in the potty. I wonder how many years the next dem president is going to have to work to fix the trail of destruction that the idiot trump has left across the world? More than one term I’ll bet….impeach…

This tells you all you need to know…
Well…I was laughing my butt off this morning listening to Keith Olbermann on his GQ web show when he talked about a new poll that asked Trump supporters this question: Do you think the US should build a wall along the Atlantic coast to keep out Muslims? Okay, you know where this one is going to go….31% of Trump supporters thought it should be built..yep, 31% of Trump supporters think we should build a 2600 mile wall across all the beaches and ports along our Atlantic coast, cutting them off from the rest of the country just to keep Muslims out of the country. Now, I’m not sure how all those Muslims are getting here, submarines? Hanging onto the fins of dolphins? Swimming? This poll tells you all you need to know about the stunning ignorance and xenophobia that is the engine behind Trump…I knew there were a lot of proudly stupid people in this country but I didn’t think it was this many…when I was young people were ashamed of being ignorant…but, not these folks, they wear it like a badge of honor…geez….
An Independent judiciary…
Well… this is not the one I was thinking about earlier in the day but it is a topic that needs to have some light shone on it after the recall of three judges in Iowa this election. If you didn’t read, there were three judges that voted for equal protection under the law in ruling that gays and lesbians have the right to marry in Iowa. What the crazy right wingers are saying that judges should reflect the will of the people and because they are against it, the rights of gays and lesbians should be suppressed until they say it okay to grant them the same rights as the rest of us. The founders established the independent judiciary specifically as a counterbalance to popular opinion to ensure that the majority couldn’t repress other citizens…what’s next…when judges vote to protect minority rights will they be recalled? These are the same people that thought “separate but equal” was just fine and it took an independent judiciary to end segregation and the many other instances of discrimination that “popular opinion” thought was just great. Again…it just another instance where the righties are all for the constitution unless it goes against their ignorant opinions….geez…
Ignorance still amazes me…
Well…I don’t know about you but I think that the instances of just breathtaking stupidity are on the rise in our society…and it still amazes me when I hear ignorance being sold as gravitas…and the hard headed refusal to see that the lies they have been sold are not true. This little bit of revelation was spurred by an article I read in the Post this morning where one of their reporters went into one of the strong bastions of repub support…an area of Kentucky where only 14% of the voters went for Obama in 2008 and asked them why they are so angry; why they think America id going in the wrong direction. Of course, their responses were straight out of the 4 o’clock hour of Fox news…they are forcing socialism down our throats and taking away our freedom. Every time I hear that crap I just want to shout “HOW?”…how is your freedom less now than when the Bushies were wiretapping everyone in the country? Give me an example…maybe the healthcare law that doesn’t take effect until 2014? And no one seems to care that federal taxes are lower for most of the country than they were two years ago…not higher as the repub lies would have us believe…300 billion of the stimulus was TAX CUTS! Are you really so dense out there that you think that tax cuts mean higher taxes?
Let’s deal with the idea of socialism…first I think most of the people they interviewed don’t even know what socialism is…but they are sure that it is bad because they have been told that by Fox…but this whole socialism argument is trumped by the statistics of the area of Kentucky where the questions were asked..that almost 80 % of the people there live on some kind of government assistance…another case of the know-nothings shouting “keep your government hands off our Medicare”. Ignorance rules again…but with the republican party being based on ignorance, do you expect anything else? Geez….
