You’re decent, but just confused and stupid.
Good morning, hillbilly mouth-breathers! How are we today? Did we put our shoes on the correct feet and wipe all the drool off our faces before heading outside to plant turnips and whup our kids? Good, good.
Now go find a Democrat to help you read the rest of this post. I’ll try not to use words that are too big or fancy but if you come across something you don’t understand, your Democrat friend is right there to explain everything.
I’ve been concerned ever since I ran the reader poll that showed me that 95% of you are ignorant racists with sexual inadequacies. The world told you what to do but you won’t listen and I guess that’s because you’re just too dumb to know how dumb you are.
Well, thank God for Barack Obama and Joe Biden. They hope to bring the change you can believe in - if you can just try really hard to put down the guns and Bibles and burning crosses long enough to take some learnin’.
The first step is to only listen to the “correct” political commentary. Obama, last summer:
The one thing that I want to insist on is that, as I travel around the country, the American people are a decent people. Now they get confused sometimes. You know, they listen to the wrong talk radio shows or watch the wrong TV networks, um, but they’re, they’re basically decent, they’re basically sound.
See, you’re good folks but you just don’t know what’s good for you. You listen to Rush Limbaugh, and that is wrong. You watch Fox News Channel, also wrong.
Now, he wasn’t clear on which radio or TV shows are the “right” ones to watch, but I’m guessing they would include all the ones who are blatantly and unapologetically in the tank for Mr. Obama himself. You’re too stupid and confused to know it, but that would be ALL OF THEM EXCEPT FOX. Your Democrat helper-friend can show you how to use your TV channel menus and radio tuning dial to find those. Try not to get any poop or slobber on those devices during your lesson.
As for why you’re so confused and misguided, well it’s simple. Mr. Biden explained it yesterday:
The Republican party and some of the blogs and others on the far right, are trying very hard to paint a picture of this man, they’re trying the best as they can to mischaracterize who he is and what he stands for.
All this stuff about how different Barack Obama is, they’re not just used to somebody really smart. They’re just not used to somebody who’s really well educated. They just don’t know quite how to handle it. Cause if he’s as smart as Barack is he must not be from my neighborhood.
Ain’t that the plum truth? I personally have never met anyone as smart or as educated as Barack Obama. Why, in my immediate family there are only two master degrees, one college professor, two engineers, one licensed P.A. (high-level medical professional), and one director of an honors math department. So, no, I just can’t handle someone like Barack with all his education and brains. It’s completely beyond my scope of understanding and it is yours, too. Don’t get confused by Sean Hannity and go thinking otherwise.
(That would be racist.)
You know who is smart enough to handle Barack? This douche, I mean genius on the Huffington Post:
…if you are a McCain/Palin/Bush voter, you and I do not have a difference of opinion. We have a difference in brain power.
Now, I want to be clear and speak directly to those of you who LOVED that Palin interview. You’re an idiot. I mean that.
…if you watched those interview excerpts and weren’t scared out of your freakin’ mind, then you’re mentally ill, mentally disabled, or mentally disturbed. What you are NOT is responsible, informed, curious, thoughtful, mature, educated, empathetic, or remotely serious. I mean it.
…Stop voting for people who remind you of your neighbor. Stop voting for the ideologically intransigent, the staggeringly ignorant, and the blazingly incompetent.
Vote for someone smarter than you.
Clearly, Huffington Post is one of the “correct” avenues from which you should be getting your information.
Well, morons, I hope this has been helpful. Frankly, I’m surprised so many dummies are even able to access my blog, seeing as how it requires taking your finger out of your booger-laden nose long enough to wield a mouse. If you’re like me, you had to have a Democrat turn on the computer for you and show you where to click.
In fact a Democrat is typing this for me right now because I’m so confused about how to handle Obama’s staggering genius that I’ve curled into the fetal position and am sucking my thumb, which I only stop doing long enough to shout out the N-word and ask for some juice and Froot Loops. After I’ve been fed, my Democrat is going to read aloud from Daily Kos for me until it’s time for my nap.
I’m going to try writing this on my own without using a smart liberal to help me with the big words.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA
What a bunch of assclowns. So when Barry is elected will he save us from the wrong information by shutting down those stations that aren’t giving us the ‘right message’? Yea, I’m not worried.
gonna go back to my guns and bibles now, I’ve had enough hope and change for the day.
September 17th, 2008 at 11:45 amESTYou shure do talk purty, Ms Rachel!
Maybe I need a Democrat to explain the nuance of your post, I just found it amusing. And the Huffington Post piece I simply found disgusting. “tranny makeup”?! Wow I am glad the lefties are running on issues rather than lipstick or makeup!
September 17th, 2008 at 11:45 amESTfunny.
btw, has BHO ever flown a fighter jet?
September 17th, 2008 at 11:45 amESTOr has he landed one on an aircraft carrier?
I guess I must have gotten into MENSA under false auspices. Even though I vote Libertarian, not Republican, I think Barack Obama’s all front and no substance.
September 17th, 2008 at 11:46 amESTfrom Briebart:
Because, obviously you has ta be smrt to hangs wifs da celebraties. I gonna vote for him just on dat account. That, ans i dun wanna be racist!
September 17th, 2008 at 11:46 amESTVote for someone smarter than you.
Since the commenters at this site seem pretty sharp, that advice would pretty much exclude most politicians of any political stripe.
My entire life, I have been treated to the spectacle of
1) GOP candidate- dumb and nice or dumb and evil
2) Dem candidate- God-like intelligent being who will usher in the Era of Freedom From Want.
Somehow, group #1 keeps kicking group #2’s ass. Hmm, intelligent. I do not think it means what he thinks it means.
September 17th, 2008 at 11:46 amESTGreat post. Wish I could understand it.
Love,

By the way, my IQ is 135
Is that one of those numbers that the lower it is, the better it is? I better vote for Barry then.
PS: I wish I was smart enough to come up with this t-shirt design. Apparently having some sort of moral compass is for the morons too…
September 17th, 2008 at 11:52 amESTMcCain’s response to the economic meltdown disproves any theory that he is a moron. He was clear, concise and knows how to fix the problem.
September 17th, 2008 at 11:56 amESTYou forgot or Super-evil mastermind manipulating everything.
As for what Obama had to say, a commenter at Ace’s pointed out that he uses “they” when referring to Americans, in that piece. I wonder if he does that a lot. And I wonder how much McCain does it when he speaks of Americans. Does he use “We?” I’d really like to know.
I’d discount circumstances when either are actually talking about Republicans vs. Democrats because that is a “We” vs. “They” situation, but for referring to Americans in the general sense, “We” should be used. Well you know unless Obama doesn’t consider himself to be one of us.
September 17th, 2008 at 11:58 amESTWell said, Wachel. No matter how hard the Obama camp tries to shake off the out-of-touch-elite label, it still sticks. At bottom they seem to despise the people they claim to love.
September 17th, 2008 at 11:58 amESTOn the dumb and evil meme: During Bush’s rookie year as President, I kept noticing how his enemies couldn’t decide if he was a moron or an evil genius. They kept flipping back and forth between the two characterizations.
September 17th, 2008 at 12:01 pmESTAin’t it fun being a dumb shareholder in a house-of-cards full of stupid people?
September 17th, 2008 at 12:01 pmESTYou know, I was straining my moronic brain here and I just realized something.
The Obamunist is just trying to heal our souls they way Jesus did when Jesus was a community organizer. For the first time in his life he is proud enough of America to come and heal us and how dare we low brows stand in the way of his anointment to savior.. er I mean his election to President.
September 17th, 2008 at 12:04 pmESTConsidering that the last time Barack Obama decided that the American people were being exposed to the “wrong” information he called the fucking Justice Department, this statement is rather chilling.
“I’m upset when liberals quote me out of context. Liberals are upset when I quote them in context.”
–Ann Coulter
I suppose we can’t argue with that one. : )
September 17th, 2008 at 12:15 pmESTI’m going out on a limb here and stating that I’m pretty sure I’m smarter than both those assholes. But be that as it may, it doesn’t fucking matter. I wouldn’t vote for them if you put a gun to my head and said pull that lever or else.
Be that as it may, I’m wagering that the vast majority of the electorate, presumably some of whom are not as ’smart’ or ‘well educated’ as the One and his slick sidekick, are going to take it as an insult to essentially call them stupid. Seems like it’ll play as well as the guns and religion thing.
September 17th, 2008 at 12:21 pmESTTimmy!
September 17th, 2008 at 12:28 pmESTI never put much stock in IQ tests, but now that Obama and the HuffPo have explained it all to me I realize my score of 140 must truly be meaningless. All this time I thought I was somewhat intelligent, but now I know I’m just an idjit and will hand my life over to the all-knowing saviour of America.
Also, I had a really hard time not giggling out loud like a ninny while reading this post at my desk at work.
September 17th, 2008 at 12:29 pmESTOn the up side, sam, this means that Seitzman will almost certainly follow his own advice of voting for someone smarter than himself. There really aren’t any other options on the ballot.

September 17th, 2008 at 12:33 pmESTEthne, I’m still laughing about that post you linked to. By the way, Rachel, MoveOn’s ad offering free 0bama buttons is appearing on your site. Guess they’re trying to save us from abject ignorance, huh? Oh well, another dime out of George Soros’ pocket into yours.
September 17th, 2008 at 12:36 pmESTJon: Those are skills, which prove nothing! Any monkey can get skills and stuff.
(I’m willing to bet, by the way, that I’m provably smarter than the HP poster by any generally-accepted measure of the faculty.
And I have a degree in an intellectual discipline that’s completely useless in daily life, thus making me a no shit honest to god “intellectual” by training.
Therefore he must respect my opinion - which is that he’s a douche.
But more importantly, does he realise how much Kos postings like that hurt his cause?
I doubt it, since his kind never look outside the bubble, to see how anything plays to the unconverted. Reassuring his pals that They’re Special And Smart is more important than actually convincing anyone to vote for Obama, after all.)
(Irrelevantly, I’m tempted to click on the “get a free Obama button from MoveOn” banner, simply to waste their money and get Rachel some income.)
September 17th, 2008 at 12:39 pmESTEthne: No, vote for me! My IQ is allegedly 170. Somehow that still doesn’t stop me from doing a lot of dumb stuff. Who ought I vote for?
notaclue: They didn’t keep “…flipping back and forth between the two characterizations.” They were asserting both at once. We just weren’t picking up the nuance: “We don’t like GWB, and if you don’t understand and agree, you’re an idiot.”
Political note:
Lynn Forester de Rothschild, a prominent Hillary Clinton supporter and member of the Democratic National Committee’s Platform Committee, will endorse John McCain for president on Wednesday…
“…frankly I don’t like him,” she told CNN. “I feel like he is an elitist.”
Having a Lynn Forester de Rothschild type accuse you of elitism has to hurt. Unless, of course, you really are an elitist.

“We have a difference in brain power.” Libtard writer.
Gee, I always thought 140+ IQ was good. Thank you for informing me that I am just too dumb to know how dumb I am. Color me as a red-neck hillbilly mouth-breathing racists with sexual inadequacies. Well, red-neck anyway.
I know how difficult it is to fly jet fighters in the Air Force or Navy. Senator McCain was and is a fighter pilot. The nonsense about the A-4 being an attack jet is bogus eyewash. Fighter pilots consider attack jets as a fighter mission, fighter jet, etc. That is why the Hornet is the F/A-18, fighter/attack. The A-10 pilot is a fighter pilot. The AV-8B Harrier pilot is a fighter pilot. This is just another bit of bull that the left wing libtards are using to smear Senator McCain. As for my qualifications for this rant, 10+ years flying the F-4E/G Phantom II as a Wild Weasel for the Air Force in the 1980s.
September 17th, 2008 at 12:46 pmESTMan, lots of good quotables out of this one…

September 17th, 2008 at 12:48 pmEST“Vote for someone smarter than you.”
I had a girlfriend once who tried that on me. She argued that she wasn’t smart enough to run her own life (unlike me) and that government was just like childproofing a house, and adults like me just had to deal with it.
Then she tried to drag me to the bedroom. Ewww. She ended up in the car instead,taken home.
September 17th, 2008 at 12:50 pmESTWhat a brilliant campaign strategy.
Vote for Barack you stupid bastard!
Insults, they win a voter over every day.
Slow Joe Biden, he didn’t earn that nickname the hard way, for him it was easy.

A truly brilliant post!
September 17th, 2008 at 12:54 pmESTSorry, they are NOT skills that just anyone can learn. I flew F-4s for 10+ years and I know that just anyone cannot learn it. Many can learn to FLY the jet, but not to use it as a weapon. Not evey pilot who graduates from pilot training gets to fly fighters. Only those who are several cuts above the average pilot student will receive a fighter qualification recomendation. About 25% of pilots will receive fighters.
Sigivald, you need a bit more research on the subject before you make such a blanket statement.
September 17th, 2008 at 12:55 pmESTNow, Now, Miss Rachel.

September 17th, 2008 at 1:15 pmESTObama is an affirmative action candidate. He doesn’t have the SATs or the IQ to back up his marketing or he’d be bringing them up in every other speech. If he was anywhere nearly as intelligent as Democrats believe, he’d have happily agreed to McCain’s townhall offer and made the old man look senile.
September 17th, 2008 at 1:18 pmESTHere, let me type really slowly in a way you all can understand.
Proof that Barack is the Obamessiah
Obama preached to the multitude by the side of the lake.
Obama created new states from out of the void.
Obama turned whine into Kool-Aid® for his followers.
Obama came to us carried upon a donkey.
Obama triumphed over the beast, the enemy of all men.
Obama was stoned and yet he has risen.
Obama’s flock has millions of sheep.
Obama will reign over us from a house with many rooms.
You must have no other candidates before Obama.
Obama will raise voters from the dead. Count on it.
If that’s not clear enough for you:
You’re welcome, uneducated, illiterate, unwashed masses.
Here’s a lolly. [pat on the head]
Heh.
September 17th, 2008 at 1:19 pmESTOkay, let’s assume I’m stupid. I’ve been able to amass a tidy retirement fund, a stable of snazzy vehicles, a house on a small acreage. All it took was a consistent work ethic. That is the point the left will not admit. It is so easy to get by in this country, any lazy moron can get a job, buy a car, a house, get married, have a family. No government intervention necessary. In fact, we all know that less intervention equals improved productivity. But that doesn’t keep the left in Lexi. Me, I’ll stick with GM.
September 17th, 2008 at 1:19 pmESTNow this is some funnee stuff. I almost choked on one of my toenails (I was chewin’ one at the time).
When I first saw the post I was soooooo excited that you had my daddy/brother’s and brother/uncle’s picture there on the website. I remember the day that was taken, like it was yesterday. They were so proud, they had just won the hillbilly triathlon. It is a grueling event that combines distance throwing of fresh cow patties, greased pig wrasslin’ and ends with a Rocky Mountain Oyster eating contest.
They won a brand new 1970 Chevy truck and a bride to share (she had THREE teeth left! Bonus!)
I needed to share the family joy. Now I need to clean the poop off of my keyboard. Dammit, I always forget what that white fluffy stuff in the outhouse is for!

My hed hertz!
Heck, if we voted only for politicians smarter than we are …. how would anyone ever get elected? Since really intelligent people would NEVER run for office?
I won’t play in the IQ number game, but I, too, enjoy Mensa’s games … and unlike Obama, bought and paid for my house, and all my toys without creative accounting, and without set-asides, and without any government “help”. And I own a house I can afford and is still too damned big. And I don’t need a mortgage bailout, or a loan bailout, or to worry about how I will live after retirement. I guess, mostly because I’m just too friggin’ DUMB to ever vote for a thieving lying Democrat.
September 17th, 2008 at 1:31 pmESTHere’s a very interesting article on Obama’s IQ, which estimates is ( 130-148) higher than McCain ( 133). At first glance it looks like a typical Obama love-fest, but then the author goes on to explain why OBama would be such a failure for America. It was quite refreshing, really.

Because the Obama disciples decide whose opinions are worth broadcasting.
September 17th, 2008 at 1:47 pmESTYou know the story behind those photos, right? Those guys are actually Boers from inland South Africa. Some of the Boers in that area have become damaged by generations of inbreeding because of their isolation and reluctance to intermarry with local blacks. The photographer deliberately sought out these inbred examples to contrast them with notions of South African white supremacy. So these photos are even more propagandized than they look out of context.
Fortunately for us American rednecks, there are a lot more of us, and any how fewer cultural barriers to marry across.
Not sure the point of this post. Just makes me sad when I see pictures of people like that. No one’s pain should be exploited, especially when they had no control over their circumstances.
September 17th, 2008 at 1:47 pmESTOh, it certainly has been. It has raised my perception of the arrogance of these people to a whole new level. I was stubbornly refusing to believe that it was possible to be that arrogant and condescending, but I was obviously wrong.

September 17th, 2008 at 2:06 pmESTI’ve never had my IQ tested, but I’d like to think that I’d come out as at least above average. After all, I’m being sent to learn one of the hardest languages at DLI. But I guess that’s all negated by the fact that I’m in the military, which I’ve been assured means I have the brainpower of roadkill.
And I guess my two passports full of about 20 years worth of stamps and visas to other countries means nothing as far as the liberal culture police are concerned. After all, I can’t possibly know anything about anybody else - despite having lived in several different cultures - since I plan on voting for McCain this year.
And I must have confused my taste buds somehow because they really like East European cuisine. I’ve even been known to eat and thoroughly enjoy Chinese, Japanese, and Korean foods. I guess I should remind my mouth that it only deserves to enjoy the food at my local McDonald’s.
On a (mostly) unrelated note, does anybody here know of a good place to look for housing in the Monterey area other than Craigslist?
September 17th, 2008 at 2:07 pmESTWow, I knew there must be a reason this place seems so comfortable…I’m the intellectual dimwit here with mere 136 IQ.
If memory serves the evil genius is Karl Rove and W is just a chin drooling mouth-breather. Haliburton stuffed W’s pockets with cash, Gitmo is worse than the Gulag and I think there was something about the military industrial complex in there as well. Someone ought to remind these asshats to stay on message.
The great State of Ohio takes a back seat to nobody in the redneck department. We have our guns and we cling to them. We have bibles and you can’t take them away. Above all don’t forget our secret weapon - the Amish, the most feared of all radical fringe groups.

That outlook of their’s tells me what the Obama camp’s opinion of the American people in general truly is.
How do they figure that labeling anyone who’s pro-McCain/Palin as morons is going to get us Real Americans to flock to Obama Bin Biden’s camp? The real morons are the ones who believe that that’s going to happen.
September 17th, 2008 at 2:11 pmESTWhen you think about it, the only power Liberals have is the power we,(the crazy wild-eyed gun toting monsters) allow them to exercise.
The Liberals are not armed, cannot fight, cannot live off the land, cannot breathe if removed from their laptops for more than 10 minutes, and ultimately cannot really force upon us more than we allow.
The only power they( the weak) have is the power we (the strong) allow them to have. We grant them power because we are decent people. If they had the ability, they would strip us of everything , our guns, our faith, our money, our sports, our humor, everything.They would grant us nothing if they were able to, they would exterminate us like cockroaches.
If they keep pushing their luck, at some point we will kindly ask them to stop, if they do not comply, we will simply stop asking, or as Bonnie said; “The gun thingy”. We will take away some of their power if they continue to abuse it.
September 17th, 2008 at 2:14 pmESTWhen taken in context, it is clear that he is talking about receiving information from non-science based sources to make science-related decisions. This was from a speech at Planned Parenthood in 2007, and followed his discussion of his support for age appropriate sex-education.
September 17th, 2008 at 2:22 pmESTI’m not sure what my I.Q. is. I know my three children range from 125 to 150 and it can’t all be from my wife’s side of the family. My wife and I both have two college degrees with mine a B.S. and a M.S. in Electrical Engineering. Our son got a B.S. in Computer Science with all A’s except for one B his last semester. The other two kids are both working on their college degrees with nearly straight A’s as well.
But degrees aren’t evidence of brain power.
I interviewed at Microsoft for two days straight and I apparently was able to fool everyone because I had two different groups give me offers for Software Developer positions. The same thing happened to our son when he interviewed.
Yeah, we are all just red-necked, knuckle dragging, Neanderthals from Idaho who happened to graduate from the same college as Sarah Palin.

September 17th, 2008 at 2:23 pmESTI don’t recall the exact number I got the last time I took an IQ test, but I remember it was somewhere in the “moderately gifted” range (i.e., 130-144).
September 17th, 2008 at 2:23 pmESTThis is absolutely the same as the “voting against their own interests” meme that’s been floating around since the last election. You know- What’s the Matter With Kansas?
What’s astounding is that they’re not even trying to hide their disdain for the “sheeple”, now.

September 17th, 2008 at 2:27 pmESTSo HuffPo wants us to take political advice from a guy whose claim to fame is he wrote the excreable North Country?
Why would I take the advice of someone who displays such an obvious lack of intelligence and class?
Besides, if you wanted to make the most clear cut case for Obama you should really insist that people vote for the candidate who says “um” the most.
September 17th, 2008 at 2:36 pmESTOh I’m sure it’s been around a lot longer than that. Liberals didn’t turn this arrogant overnight, y’know.
In fairness, conservatives do something similar when we talk about how blacks vote en masse for Democrats, but at least we have the decency to attribute this to incessant liberal propaganda rather than some innate stupidity in black people.

Oh, and I DID laugh out loud while reading this at work, but everyone here thinks I’m insane anyway, so no harm done.
September 17th, 2008 at 3:26 pmESTThe Liberals are not armed, cannot fight, cannot live off the land, cannot breathe if removed from their laptops for more than 10 minutes, and ultimately cannot really force upon us more than we allow.
The only power they( the weak) have is the power we (the strong) allow them to have. We grant them power because we are decent people. If they had the ability, they would strip us of everything , our guns, our faith, our money, our sports, our humor, everything.They would grant us nothing if they were able to, they would exterminate us like cockroaches.
You’re right. As a liberal I am incapable of fighting (eye roll), am not armed (true, though in the process of changing that), cannot live off the land (well, I CAN, I just really would rather NOT), and can’t live away from my laptop (except for the weekends when I go computer free because I just feel like my brain is melting).
As for stripping you of the following:
Guns - No. I will admit that I sometimes think that there are some levels of arms that I don’t think should be accessible to the public, but I also don’t think I’m informed enough to really make that call.
Faith - No. You worship your God or not if you choose. Please respect me enough to do the same.
Sports - Um, what? For example? I mean, is there some liberal jihad against curling I’m unaware of?
Humor - Please God NO - it’s probably the only thing that connects us all….I might not like the same kind of humor that you do, but believe me, if we all can’t sit around and laugh from time to time, we are sorely screwed.
Money - I don’t even know how to address that. Do I, as a liberal, want to take your money? I’m sure that simply by tagging myself as a liberal, the response should be yes. But I also know it’s not that simple. I think the only way I can address it is by saying I think we disagree on what to spend government taxation on. I don’t always think that making the pie bigger is the answer - I think that portioning it differently and encouraging people to make their own pie is the best way to go.

September 17th, 2008 at 3:42 pmESTthey can all interbreed and turn themselves into the objects of their current criticism. Hmm, maybe they already have.
Just out of curiosity, are there any of you here who are simply mentally exhausted from this campaign? Because I am.
At what point did this election turn into mental mudwrestling? And that is rhetorical…I really don’t really want need any answer.
If I go to the HuffPo (which I occasionally do), I read stuff like this, it really pisses me off because I think all it does is distract from the issues. I spent part of my evening last night yelling at my mother to stay on point - and she’s a f’ing Democrat. (Sorry, she just REALLY pissed me off.)
Calling someone stupid for disagreeing with you is pretty much showing your own stupidity, no matter how valid your point. And that it’s passing for “insightful” debate is just pathetic.

September 17th, 2008 at 3:57 pmESTBrooke, as far as money is concerned, I’m sure most people here will tell you that any money that goes toward social programs like welfare is money that could be better spent elsewhere. I personally feel like the government is robbing me of my money to give it to people who frankly don’t deserve it. The general conservative philosophy is if you didn’t earn it, you don’t deserve it. Of course, on the conservative side people are more than willing to contribute to charity and help people who are down on their luck, we just tend to like to know that the organizations we give it to aren’t going to just throw it away then come demanding more.
The government is not good at handling money and, for the most part, the liberal mindset is to allow that same government to take money and evenly distribute it. This is something most conservative or libertarian people have a major problem with. As I said before, if you didn’t earn it, you don’t deserve it. Government handouts breed laziness and dependence.
I think we can all agree that more accountability of funding is needed in government and that, recently, Republicans haven’t been the fiscally conservative party we expect them to be, but in general I dislike more the liberal position of taking money from earners and giving it to people who can’t be bothered to get off their asses and find a job or get an education so they can get a better job. Particularly since I’ve never seen no-effort success or free money mentioned anywhere in the Constitution.
September 17th, 2008 at 4:00 pmESThM - thanks for the thoughtful response.
Aah welfare….it is the true thorn in the liberal side. Guess what? I have a problem with welfare too. Or rather, I have a problem with welfare “perpetuity” - I strongly support work to welfare programs. I’ll feed you for free for a few meals, then you have to start helping around the house.
But there are other social programs that I strongly support, the two leaders being education and Medicare. Medicare because I have two grandparents who count on it (who worked hard their whole lives and should have had insurance provided by my grandfather’s employer, but as that company has failed, so have the benefits), and I believe one way we measure our society is how we care for our elderly. Education because I strongly am in favor of, well, education. And because I believe another way we measure our society is in how we care for our young.

September 17th, 2008 at 4:23 pmESTBiden quote from above.:
Now I AM confused. I thought Obama and Biden were the ones one telling us that he is different, i.e., not “more of the same”.
I have yet to read on Rachel’s blog, or Ace, etc., “all this stuff about how different Barack Obama is”. My recollection is that the theme has been that he isn’t any different than all of the other socialists that have come before.
Conversely, it has been Barack who has has told me that “they’re goin say … uh.. er.. he’s different…”. But I haven’t read that on this or the other blog I regularly read.
September 17th, 2008 at 4:26 pmESTNo, Mr. Seitzman, we have a difference in worldview. The way you feel about the Republican Vice-Presidential candidate is the way I feel about the Democrat Presidential candidate. Both assessments are quite logical if you understand that each starts with a very different assumption on the nature of humans. But you don’t, and that is why you have contempt for those who do not see things as you do.
“I have been that close, many times; I have hung out with the Smart People and listened to them talk. I’ve heard them jeer at patriotism, mock the military, sneer at ordinary Americans who shop in malls and watch television. Their contempt for the Stupid People is so thick and deep that if the target of this hatred were members of a minority group, we’d know them for the bigots they are.”

September 17th, 2008 at 4:56 pmESTBrooke,
Thanks for actually addressing my post in a manner inconsistent with every liberal I have ever met. You rock (in your own crazy mixed up way.)
Anyway…..
Let’s look at the thing said:
Guns- Yes, it is well known that in the race to take guns away, it is always , always , always liberals who lead the charge:
Says Barack Obama:
Faith:
I personally have no “faith” , as an Agnostic, but I respect those who do. You will never see a conservative, Republican, or Libertatian sue a local muncipality to take down the Christmas tree from the lawn of the town hall, or remove the ten commandments from a court house. Liberals do that, only Liberals do that, and it’s an attack on faith.
Money:
Obama has said that he plans to raise taxes on families making over 250 k per year, and eliminate the taxes of those making 40k per year or less. That’s called redistribuition of wealth.
This may come as a shock, but most people work for small businesses in America ( less than 100 employees, less than 20 million per year revenue.) Most of those business owners started those companies from scratch, they incidentally employ most Americans, and those owners often make 250-400k per year. These people, the people who create jobs, will be punished for their success, and their money will be given to the lazy. Mostly liberals, of course, certainly mostly Obama voters.
With this plan, Obama is essentially buying votes from the poor.
Humor:
Leading the charge for political correctness is again, the Liberals. God forbid anyone make a joke that acknowledges that we aren’t all of the same color/faith/gender/nationality/ or physical stature, the Liberal led ACLU will sue the shit out of anyone deemed “insensitive”.
Liberals are sucking the humor right out of American life. As it stands now, the only stupid people that can be portrayed on TV without a lawsuit is fat white men. Check out every sitcom, the protaginist is a stupid white fat guy who thanks goodness has an unusually hot wife that is there to keep him alive because he’s so inept and can’t even tie his own shoes.Make that protagonist an Hispanic or Black woman acting like a complete moron and watch how fast the complaints roll in. The only homor allowed is at the expense of white males.
THAT’S what I’m talking about .
September 17th, 2008 at 5:10 pmESTBut I wuv my widdums democrats.
They keep me safe … and clean …
September 17th, 2008 at 5:20 pmESTWell, since the ones on the ‘right’ are the ‘wrong’ ones, I’m willing to bet he thinks the ‘correct’ ones are the only ones ‘left’.
September 17th, 2008 at 5:25 pmESTOh my!! Only the Democrats know what is best for me!! I cannot think for myself; the democrats have to do it for me!!
Sarcasm off.
The day these idiots take over my life is the day they step over my dead body and a large pile of expended rifle brass.
September 17th, 2008 at 5:26 pmESTYep stylinjulie, that’s the Herbinator. He’s a dog that has adjusted well to the comforts of middle class life after a rough start.
Here’s my favorite pic of Herbie, the day after I brought him home from the shelter. Just a little wiggly worm then. He was looking at me and bonding, or that seemed obvious to me, and deciding I was his new daddy.
He was a shelter dog adopted from petfinders.com. Lady in Angleton had fostered him, he’d been dumped near there in a ditch near a pound because they charge you $40 to drop off a dog and some people just take them away and dump them instead of paying. He’s have beagle half basset according to the vet.
He’s the best dog I ever had in my inbred, bible clingin’, gun totin’, cousin humpin’ ignorant sub-moron wrong-way votin’ life.
September 17th, 2008 at 5:38 pmESTI’m guessing Brooke is actually part of the quieter majority of liberal types. Much like you constantly hear about the Rev Phelps types representing the right view, all too often the vocal minority of the left such as HuffPo, Kos, etc don’t actually represent the vast majority of people.
Since I’m nowhere near as elequent as Vanderleun, I’ll just post a link to his summary of the impolosion of the Democratic party. Had McCain gone with someone like we expected, aka Lieberman or Grahmm, I’d have expected the same self-destructive results for the Rebublican party.
Anyway.. back to Brooke’s comments: I agree education is important, but over the last couple of decades, it’s changed from education to indoctrination. The American education system is broken and without a major overhaul the US will not be able to compete.
Regarding Medicare\Medicaid, it’s again a case of the “safety net” becoming the defacto standard. But don’t worry, once “Universal Healthcare” is implemented, we can follow the Euro\Canadian route and just stop treating people that are no longer cost effective. If that doesn’t scare you out of supporting government run healthcare, I don’t know what will.
September 17th, 2008 at 5:45 pmESTPara,
Great points. And of course I have some responses.
Guns - I disagree with Barack Obama on the D.C. gun ban, but not because I’m oh-so pro 2nd Amendment - it’s because I felt it was one more way for people who live in DC to be treated like second class citizens in their own country. Do I think he will take all guns? No. Will that partly be because of the NRA doing its job? Yes. And also because I think it just won’t happen. Is it naieve of me? Perhaps, but I think it’s one of those Mt. Everests of issues - hard to climb and you’ll turn blue in the face in the process. I don’t claim to represent every liberal when it comes to guns - but believe me, I come from a blue, liberal family that owns guns. It’s not as cut and dry as the media, or even Barack Obama wants us to believe.
Faith - I sometimes wonder if we’ve taken a good thing too far….I believe in separation of church and state, but not to the point where you can’t put up a Christmas tree, nor do I even give a crap about the Ten Commandments (decent rules in general, don’t you think?). But on the flip side, I sometimes feel that people endeavor to lay their faith on my in certain issues, namely those regarding reproductive rights and civil unions. A lot of people use their faith as a reason to interfere in peoples’ lives. So it cuts both ways, not that you agree with either one. I know this really doesn’t answer the question/situation - I think it simply elaborates that we have a lot of work to do to find more common ground.
Money - You made some great points that I want to think about before I respond to, ok?
Humor - First off, I’m a Bill Maher fan - and he operates under the premise to insult everyone equally.
I don’t buy into the notion of PC humor either, and I agree that the PC police was led by liberals. There, you got me. But just so you know, I personally do not wish to rob you of your humor. Or curling rights. Which, we all know you really need humor to appreciate curling….
September 17th, 2008 at 5:49 pmESTNow just wait a minute. How does Obama count as “highly educated?” He went to Occidental College in LA for two years and then transferred to Columbia University in New York City, where he majored in political science with a specialization in international relations.
He then went to a trade school (Harvard Law School) where he learned to be a lawyer.
He has refused to release his college records so we have no idea how many real courses he took. You can bet that he never studied anything about “dead white men” nor read anything written by a “dead white man”
September 17th, 2008 at 5:52 pmESTCome on now, Sam. If he went to HLS, he took a class on contracts, torts, criminal law, etc. Mandatory, I’m pretty sure. And within that, he has to have studied the Constitution, as he did teach about it. And last I knew, Thomas Jefferson was a dead white man.
September 17th, 2008 at 6:01 pmESTI read the wrong blogs too. Hopefully the Obama Administration will provide me with free re-education.
September 17th, 2008 at 6:02 pmEST“Now they get confused sometimes. You know, they listen to the wrong talk radio shows or watch the wrong TV networks, um,”
and just WHO died and left this jackoff in charge?
September 17th, 2008 at 6:03 pmESTThis whole subject reminded me of a song.
As my good friend felicity is fond of saying, there’s always a song.
September 17th, 2008 at 6:06 pmESTwow, just wow
some people are a complete waste of oxygen
September 17th, 2008 at 6:11 pmESTDarury, I don’t know if I’m a member of the quiet majority of liberals - my spouse, family and office probably disagree. I’m vocal - I just don’t write for the Huffington Post - probably because I don’t want to get bogged down by sensational crap. (I admit, my fave article today on the HuffPo is how Palin got a makeover. Because this should anger me? Good for her!)
I think I just try to look at things logically. “X and Y aren’t working? Ok, how do we get them to work?” “Ok, so we don’t agree on 95% of the issue - then let’s work on the 5% that we do and make THAT work and go from there.” There’s all this talk about reaching across the aisle but it’s really a load of crap, in my opinion. It reduces people to an ass or an elephant and that’s just stupid.
So you cited education. We both agree that education isn’t working. What IS working? What can we build on? What do you feel is the number one problem with current education? Let’s compare lists. Have any solutions? Cool. Lets’ talk about it. Will we agree on everything? No. And that’s ok too.
I know it sounds incredibly touchy feely to say, “Let’s work together” - but how has screaming at each other worked out so far?
September 17th, 2008 at 6:13 pmESTand just WHO died and left this jackoff in charge?
Nobody. Just as no one died and left Ann Coulter in charge.
September 17th, 2008 at 6:17 pmESTWhy are we supposed to believe Obama is smart? Because the media is telling us so! I call BS!! This is a man who is even using teleprompters at informal “town hall meetings” because every time he tries to go extemporaneous (wow, five dollar word, I must be a Democrat, huh?) he trips over his own tongue. Not only is he a total puppet, his strings are finally starting to show.
September 17th, 2008 at 6:26 pmESTUm….shoes? Huh? I like ice cream!!
Rachel, your posts are always entertaining and put a smile on my face. Having said that, it has not been since you bashed the ever lovin’ hell out of Michael Moore in your past blog life that I have laughed this hard reading a post you’ve written.
The second to last paragraph had me in stitches…especially the booger part.
September 17th, 2008 at 6:34 pmESTenvybuns: And your Obama Voter/McCain Voter demotivator was the icing on the cake. Brilliant.
September 17th, 2008 at 6:45 pmESTI wanted to let you all know, I’m having a political debate with someone on facebook and I have stolen some of your very well written comments! I hope that is okay! (The guy, a liberal, has bashed me and said he hopes a plane flies up my ass…among other things about how I was only tolerable when I was a fetus. Gotta love those super-nice Democrats!)
September 17th, 2008 at 6:50 pmESTI heard these bullshit arguments of the left about Americans not knowing what is good for them back in 1970 at the University of California. It bites now as much as it did then. I don’t need the condescension, esp. from people who want to take away my guns and tell me what to think and how to act. If I don’t I will be prosecuted.
No thanks. I gave up my Nat’l Org. for Women card in 1978 when their mgmt said that a woman didn’t need a man or marriage to have a baby. All she needed was sperm. Seems like the feministas of those days suddenly went ghetto kid on us. You know, ask a ghetto kid where milk comes from and he’ll tell you from a milk carton you get at the grocery store.
Yeah, that’s right. And, all sperm comes from the sperm bank. Freeze dried.
I haven’t even STARTED on the postmodernists and marxists, yet. I’ll save that for later!
September 17th, 2008 at 6:59 pmESTWho cares about smarts. Obama is going to raise taxes on income over 250K. That fact by itself will swing the election.

Past that, I’m laughing too hard to say much useful.
September 17th, 2008 at 7:38 pmESTNews for liberals, Obama will not release his college transcipts and it isn’t because he wants to spare our feelings by his spectacular intelligence.
Its because its hard to claim to be the most brilliant human evah if you have a bunch of Ds and C+ in any course requiring ability. I am willing to bet that Obama failed a bunch of business and science courses but excelled in the gender and ethnic studies classes.
There is a bet put out by one of his classmates who doesn’t remember Obama even though they were in the same major and year, that his person has better grades than the “Messiah”. Of course smoking the pot, etc will drive your grades to hell.
September 17th, 2008 at 7:57 pmESTHoly Crap on a Pancake! I suppose I’m not smart enough to plagiarize from a cartoon for a campaign speech or a Tory Brit (Obama and Biden respectively). Well, I guess I’ll just suffer through writing my own stuff and taking credit for the good and the bad like the inbred, sterno drinking moron I am. Asshats.
September 17th, 2008 at 8:17 pmESTBrooke,
With regards to education, the leftist establishment is running the show in the public school sector. You might want to talk to those people first and ask them why it’s more important to spew leftist dogma than teach kids the basics.
The reason why I state this is that I went through the nonsense in education school back in the 90’s (was still fairly liberal then) and I was horrified how my university program picked students for their ideology over those who actually knew the subject (in this case social studies).
For example, one of my classmates called me one evening to ask me where the Ohio River was on the map. Sarcastically I replied that I would try looking around the state of Ohio on the map.
I made the mistake of asking in class how one raises test standards by lowering test scores (NYS Regents tests went from a 65 to a 55 in order to pass at the time, absolutely brilliant…). The professors didn’t like the questions that I asked (plus some other goodies) and essentially drove me out of the program. Needless to say, the other girl (and other clueless people who knew not one iota of history or geography) graduated. I can’t make this stuff up.
Sorry, but I don’t think there’s much of anything that either side can work together on at this point. Your party is slowly but surely being taken over by the far left and they want to implement no less than a socialist state. And this is only the beginning…
September 17th, 2008 at 8:29 pmESTThis whole election season is giving me Aldous Huxley flashbacks. Remember ‘Brave New World’? Now, replace ‘alpha’ with ‘democrat’ when you read, and you’ll get something like this: “Oh, I’m glad I’m not an Alpha! They work SO hard at things I just can’t understand. I’m SO glad I’m a Beta!
later on…..”Roof? Roof! Oh, roof!” said the Upsilon Semi-minus, blinking in the sunshine.
Unfortunately for democrats, the balance of the populace has not been bred for compliance. We get rather fed up with self-important elitists who insist on ignoring history. (Of course, by ‘history’, I mean what ACTUALLY happened, not what they wish happened.) If the current crop of what passes for liberal leadership worked for White Star Lines 96 years ago, the only discussion on the bridge of the Titanic would have been on how fast to drive the boat into the iceberg.
September 17th, 2008 at 8:40 pmESTThere’s nothing wrong with this in principle. The problem is that most liberals naturally assume that bigger government is the answer.
Gun violence on the rise? Get the government to ban handguns/tighten already onerous gun regulations.
Minorities and women underrepresented in high-paying corporate jobs? Write up a set of racial/gender quotas that businesses will be required to adhere to under pain of prosecution.
Government not taking in enough revenue? Raise taxes on “the rich”.
This is not how America is supposed to work.
September 17th, 2008 at 8:53 pmESTI see you managed to get a snap of a couple of the Kos Kids.
September 17th, 2008 at 8:53 pmESTRW Donn, what do you really think?
September 17th, 2008 at 8:55 pmESTI’m the Original Liberal.
I want everyone to have more than they need so there’ll be plenty to share with me and my Dogz when we come to your spread.
Just write me in on the ballot.
“Vote for me. I’m not running for anything.”
September 17th, 2008 at 8:58 pmEST(Have you ever tried running in sandals and a robe)?
Dave W, give the Herbinator a kiss on his velvety little muzzle from me. Okay, I’m gonna go cuddle Chip the Wonder Dog now.
September 17th, 2008 at 9:08 pmESTWhy is it that the party most suffused with elitism and expertosis still calls itself the party of the little guy and the working folks?
Keep it up, y’all. You could never understand why Bush won in 2004, so you’ll never be able to grasp the fact that if McCain and Palin win this year, it’ll be in part because you helped make it happen. Please, do carry on.
September 17th, 2008 at 9:15 pmESTI’m OK with an IQ test for voting.
I doubt me self-proclaimed intellectual superior at the Huffington Post is. Why would that be?
I don’t know or care what the actual number is, but based on my class rank in High School and College and SAT and Armed Forces test scores, I think I’ll qualify.
Even if the cutoff is the 99th percentile.
September 17th, 2008 at 9:21 pmESTAll my IQ of 145 ever got me was a job as a CNC programmer/machinist, my own home (paid for) a car and a pickup (both paid for).
HELP ME OBAMA I DON’T KNOW WHAT I’M DOING WRONG!!!!!11!!1!1!!!111!!!ONE!!!!!!!!
September 17th, 2008 at 9:24 pmESTHoly Crap! Between the original post and the comments I literally have tears in my eyes from laughing so hard.
I don’t claim to be super smart. In fact I have no idea what my IQ is … but I’m guessing it wouldn’t be all that high. I do like to think of myself as logical and able to make decisions not based on emotional reaction. Though not always.
Do these people really think like this? It almost seems like a parody it’s so outrageous.
September 17th, 2008 at 9:34 pmESTWell, I don’t know why, at least at less-than-novella length, but Best of the Web has had some interesting insights on the “cognitive elite” over the the last few years. Scroll down this one to “cognitive elite” for a great laugh, especially the “money quote” from Democratic Underground.
And the money quote from the second one handy is this (emphasis mine):
Amen.
For wife and self and siblings, four out of seven were National Merit Scholars. I won’t total up degrees, because I’d run out of fingers and toes trying, but obviously we’re too damn dumb to tie our own shoes.
September 17th, 2008 at 10:21 pmESTSNL. Ackroid. Curtain. Newman. Coneheads.
Salon-style hair dryer is introduced.
MEHHHHHHAAAAAHHHHHHHEEEEEHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! Jumping though window.
Am I being to harsh on those who are on the “loyal” left?
September 17th, 2008 at 10:27 pmESTYou know, there used to be a pro-2nd Amendment website that had a really cool video examining that very question. Sadly the site went under years ago, but I’ll try to recall it from memory.
*ahem*
Popular stereotype (promoted by Democrats):
“Republicans are the party of the rich. Democrats are the party of the poor and the downtrodden.”
Elections are won by getting as many people to vote for you as possible.
If the Republican Party is the “party of the rich” they would have to implement policies designed to allow as many people as possible become, and stay, rich.
So what do the Democrats have to do?
September 17th, 2008 at 10:28 pmESTRegarding your post, I was thinking oh look BEER!
September 17th, 2008 at 10:29 pmESTN. O\’Brain: Is this your son’s first deployment? The Marine Corps has recently reconfigured their family readiness programs to include parents. Previously the Key Volunteer Network was exclusively for spouses and parents had to rely on informal networks to get unit information. Although I have not been active in the network for a while (we were at an Air Force base in Texas for the past three years) I will have to be active once again since my husband is leaving in January for 4-12 months. A good link for information for extended family member is: http://www.iimefpublic.usmc.mil/public/infolineMarines.nsf/
If you should happen to need anything about info or how to get to the ‘right’ person, please let me know. I’m right up the road from Lejeune.
Semper Fi and God Speed to your son and the Marines in 3/8.
September 17th, 2008 at 10:30 pmESTSlightly OT, but I nearly choked to death when I went to this page from a link over at Misha’s place:
John McCain Gets BarackRoll’d
Put your drinks down before clicking that link! You have been warned!
