WaPo: Ben Carson’s striking ignorance

[hifiguy]

48. America has always had a wildly disproportionate share

of fly-eating lunatics and duck-fucking nimrods in its population.

Shit the "Pilgrim Fathers" were so amazingly obnoxious that even the notoriously tolerant Dutch forcibly booted them out of the Netherlands only a few years after giving them sanctuary from the Church of England.

Every religulous dingbat in the world found their way to this country for 200 years and every one of them was able to set up a scam, err, church, and get rich. Add the racists, xenophobes, education-haters (another deep and strong strain in 'murka, strongly linked to the religulous loons) and you have a boiling cauldron of idiocy that's at least 200 years in the brewing.

Add the people who have been systematically propagandized and dumbed down - WAY down - by the reichwing project begun in the Zombie King Raygun years, which saw its culmination in the rise of Fox News and the installation of His Chimperial Fraudulency and Darth, and you can get 20 million people in this country to vote for a ham sandwich as long as it lurves Jebus, carries a gun, and hates teh geys.

American democracy didn't fail so much as it never got the chance to work. Or maybe it did work and a large percentage of the population are just easily led sheeple.

For my part I am going to join a revolutionary cadre if Bernie doesn't make it.

Long Live The Glorious Leader CHAIRMAN MEOW!!!
