America as a whole is a bastion of DumbAssedness
"As people do better, they start voting like Republicans...unless they have too much education and vote Democratic, which proves there can be too much of a good thing.” - Karl Rove


try this shit in france and watch what happens. I will admit over half of liberals sell out as they get more money or get older. Sometimes you have to fight. All republicans are scum to me. Just like neo nazi's and cultists. Not that the left is all good. But Clinton was nearly a neoliberal but had a good social heart. Now who can say that about repubs? at best they have spector and mccain. A lot of people don't subscribe to the belief, because they have loved ones, who are republicans as do I. But when i look objectively at them, at least from the hundred or so i know, this is what comes off. There are some dems who are bad also, but this whole republican philosphy of the poor being poor because of social darwinism or sin or laziness is stupid as hell. Now No one with a consscious can be a republican. What does it tell you when there are 10,000 openly socialist professors in the us? Hmmm educated + Conscious+ desire to see a better world= Liberal. I use to be a right winger, so I know about the mental problems that are involved in it. Seriously it's a mental illness.

Academia- is not automatically bad. And what is this shit about campuses, being too liberal. The exchange of free ideas+ education, is too much for them. Shit I want to go back to the university, at least there was some fucking sense. What the hell is wrong with America. If you are pro peace, pro civil rights, pro helping the poor, you are actually looked down upon.

I would move to another country if it didn't violate everything i believe in.

1. Eeeeeasy, CwS.
My uncle is a Republican, and my uncle's a good guy. You probably have a good friend that's Republican, too.

I wouldn't say they're all scum. But I do think they are socially regressive and usually less informed than your average American.

3. I guess IN 2004
anyone who supports what the party is doing is misguided. I'm the type of person who is tolerant accpet of intolerance. I despise lino's who feared mlk. I don't beleive there is anythign debatable about gay marriage or equal rights, are screwing the poor. Politics is the essence of a person. I broke of my engagement when my fiance admitted she was a republican. How can i marry someone who believes, homlessness is laziness, and is pro imperialism. I despise the likes of james carville. Just think if you are anti slavery and your friend lets call him J is pro slavery and a slave owner, how much do you believe in your position, if you can sit in a room with him?


I don't mean ALL literally i mean those actively political.

6. So he is "Only vollowing Oders"?
I know some decent folk who vote ReTHUGlican, too. Given their hardly-got-a-pot-to-piss-in station in life, I can't understand why.

"Less informed"? That's a given. I believe that NO honest person would vote ReTHUGlican if they were informed on what "their" party actually stands for.

I also know plenty of people who'd step on my face to get at a dollar. They vote ReTHUGlican, too.

8. THose people anger me to no fucking end
if they would tak 30 mins a a week, to actually think outside the box they would see socialist policies would benifit them the most. Even if non socialist liebral policies are arranged for the downtrodden. What the fuck is wrong with this country. You go to norway, people lvoe paying taxes, to help thier fellow man. And what is with this 300 billion a year in subsides to fucking farmers.

2. baaaahh
too much education. There you go.

Hmmm...what other leaders came down hard on intellectuals? Lets see, in the 20th century?

Hitler
Stalin
Pinochet
Pol Pot
Mao Tse Tung

and that is what I come up with off the top of my head and before my morning coffee.

The educated are so much harder to control than the ignorant. Maybe the reason that the more educated you are, the more liberal you are (in their formula) is that the more you know, the more you can see through their lies.

This should be used in every Democratic ad, a quote of him saying too much education is a bad thing.

4. If you don't believe it, try dealing with the board members of a
Homeowner's Association. You show them how it's suppose to be done legally, and in the same letter where they're saying they will not engage their homeowner's association attorney to verify that all meetings of the board must remain open to the members, they're writing to say that they will meet (illegally) to discuss my letter.

I even have letters from the board who wrote furiously to a homeowner because "this is the way we always do it and nobody ever complains." Er, maybe that's because when you make a decision in secret, nobody has the information to question your decision.

I have another letter where a board member says, "We made changes to the bylaws with less than a majority vote and nobody complained" It takes 75% of the membership to make those kind of changes.

I live in Dumbassville, U.S.A. No doubt about it.
