rather than their intelligence. The filtering they have done to come up with a system that endorses social darwinism as a high moral standard is pretty remarkable. Even more remarkable for those of them who live within the intersection of social darwinism and right-wing christianity.

It's all in the 53rd Psalm (that psalm for the non-47%)

It leadeth them into strange places, besides very cold shoulders, that freezeth their souls.
Yea, though they snack through throngs of the starving, they feed no hungry
for "handouts" are evil. The rod and the staff are applied rather than comforting.
For freedom from responsibility is theirs, and the glory on which they build McMansions
Forever and ever.
