Don't they all have that dumb look on their face?
I mean, you can tell when someone is really dumb sometimes by looking at their face. They have that look. It can't be defined or quantified, but it's obvious.

You look at Palin, Bachmann, Don Blankenship, the tea baggers in general and of course George W. Bush: it's obvious these people are incredibly dumb. They don't need to open their mouth.

Compare George H.W. Bush's face, or that of his brother Jeb, to GWB and you can tell they are definitely a lot smarter than he is.

I have never seen anybody with that specific look on their face say anything overtly smart, and the smarter they try to be, the dumber they are.

The worst type of idiots are those who think they are actually smart.

I have that simple rule: I don't even try to argue with them. All I will do is ask, for instance:

"Really, dude, you think the current economic mess is Obama's fault?!? Really?"

You can argue with Beck's fans.

This is the biggest issue right now: we are letting too many dumb people say dumb things and they're managing to reach more and more of these uneducated folks who can't tell what is what and who will believe anything as long as you use the proper technique.

We need a new era of enlightenment.

3. Yes, we do need that new era...
We also need to be willing to out-shout them, to raise our voices, and to not act as though we are the dumb ones.

We're letting these idiots push us around, and that has to stop.

We have the truth, and we need to be willing to push that.

6. Didn't Bachmann at a recent rally say . . .
. . . that under the auspieces of Barack Obama, the U.S. "went from a Creditor nation to a Debtor nation".

Uh, WHAT?



See, this fluffy idiot is allowed to spew her made-up bullshit without question and meanwhile, America wonders why we're getting dumber and dumberer.

12. Have you seen W. ?
Captures exactly what you've written. Shouldn't be called a biography - more like a horror movie.
