I'm surrounded by Idiots

[ck4829]

All you have to do to know that you too are surrounded by idiots is go to Free Republic

"Afgahnistan ought to be our ally"

WorldNutDaily

"We found Iraq's WMD"

Listen to CSpan

"Bush is a gawdly man"

You know what you can do to find Idiots.

[beam me up scottie]

1. All I have to do is

walk outside.

Oh, the joys of living in the buy-bull belt. :banghead:

[obxhead]

2. I just moved to that belt myself.

It's quite a shock coming from the DC beltway area where political debate was life. I find that debate to be so one-sided here that it's frightening at times.

3. Trust me, it gets worse.

I've been here three and a half years, and I came from New England.
There's no way I'll ever get used to the disconnect.

Not to mention, I dare not put bumper stickers on my car or tell anyone I'm a tree hugging, liberal, atheistic vegetarian.
They'd burn a cross on my lawn with me on it.

I plan on going back home by the end of next year, no matter what.

5. Try living in the south your whole life

My area isn't bad though and my town can go either way and same for my state.

[beam me up scottie]

9. I'm in culture shock, that's for sure.

I've noticed that people down here are used to bigotry, religious intolerance and misogyny.

They don't even bat an eyelash when someone uses the word ni**er, for example.

Hell, most seem to expect it.

[DancingBear]

19. Right with ya

We have 17 months to go until we get back to New England - for good.

(not that we're counting or anything) :)

I'll trade 6 months of winter for life down here (and hell, I'm only in Virginia!) any time.

[beam me up scottie]

21. I'm with you.

I miss snow, believe it or not.

And men not named Bubba.

[PowerToThePeople]

4. You live in the Whitehouse? n/t

[shenmue]

6. It's a stew of dumbness

The guy on the right in the second picture seems to be conducting the War Against Pants.

And I've got to love the look on the face of the young lady in photo #4. She confronts Flag Man in exactly the right way: by not believing any of this %$#@ at all.

Always good to see Oliver North's mug shot and remind ourselves that the still-popular (with morons) right wing loon is a convicted felon and a traitor.

[annabanana]

7. "Clowns to the Right of me, Jokers to the Right.."

- and here we are -

[elehhhhna]

8. beat me to it Abanana!

[BrklynLiberal]

10. "George Bush is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being

I've ever known in my life."

Did you ever see "The Manchurian Candidate"?

[the_spectator]

16. Did you ever read Harriet Miers' letters? /nt

[Torgo Johnson]

11. Good god...

If that fourth picture is not desecration of the flag, I don't know what is.

[prescole]

12. I'm surrounded by idiots, too!

No, wait, those are mirrors.

Some of the kindest people I know are ignorant fundamentalists. Some of the meanest are Ivy league agnostics. I'll take the salt of the earth any day.

With all due respect, why do DUers always trash Christians and Southerners?

[Porcupine]

17. Spare the rod perhaps? Or the mote in my eye that requires

federal legislation to prevent me from relaxing, having a good time, exploring MY spirituality or getting good medicine.

We make a clear distinction between the Xtian taliban and the true loving children of Christ. The second group doesnt' kick homeless people.

[O.M.B.inOhio]

13. The 3rd photo down, that's the Operation Rescure pervert?

What's his name and specific offense? I'd like to use that info soon.
thanks.

15. Larry Northern

He drove his truck through a memorial of crosses that Cindy Sheehan and Friends made.

[unhappycamper]

14. Old moran threads. . . . .

First task: Poll question: The mother of all moran polls.

Our original moran crushed the competition. Captain Fuckwad was a distant second, but TommyBoy might displace him (IMHO.) If you can get a pic of TommyBoy holding a 'moran' sign, we should reopen the polling again.

To complete his journey through life, we needed to find a complement. First the search. As we searched through all the possibilities, the search degenerated elevated to the Lounge.

I present to you the happy couple:






Argue amongst yourselves. . . . .. .

[the_spectator]

18. Oh yeah, that lady.

I forgot about her. You know, I have a horrible secret to confess. I always thought she was kind of semi-hot. Just fix up her teeth and, well, how can I say it, any crumbs made would not be an issue, for me at least.

(Sorry!!! Dateless wonder here for a couple of years!)

[TallahasseeGrannie]

20. You need to hang out with a better class of folks

remember, idiots are everywhere, not just in the south. Some of the biggest idiots I've ever met lived in my home state of New Jersey.
