Today’s Indymedia Laugh
2003-12-12
60% of Americans say that it’s good enough for them! If that doesn’t scare you, you’re not paying attention. Can this country even survive another four years of reckless spending, an astronomical deficit, more unemployment, more trashing of the environment, more disregard for international protocol, more dead and maimed young Americans, more lies, more secrecy, more bait-and-switch?
Probably...
And that’s just the short list.
Oh, well, please go on!
Man, how do you even comment on a poll like this? Where do you start? This poll proves to the world that a majority of Americans are gullible, ignorant, uneducated, lazy, and just plain suckers.
"Yeah! What a bunch of dumbasses! Without people like me and... ummm... you, where would they be?"
But don’t take my word for it; think about it for yourself.
"If you're as smart as I am, of course, which you're prob'ly not..."
Before his layover in Baghdad, Bush’s approval rating was sinking fast, and so was approval for his war. So bing-bada-boom, he takes a quick trip, makes sure there are lots of clicking cameras, and 60% of Americans suddenly think that the war, as a whole, was a good idea now. Bush serves mashed potatoes to the troops, for ten minutes, and 60% of Americans rethink their opinion of this disastrous war (and the myriad problems it encompasses).
"Problems that people like me and... ummm... you could solve in the twinkling of an eye, if they just handed me... ummm... us the power we deserve!"
Did somebody ask why the rest of the world is chuckling at the intelligence of the average American?
Just wanted to illustrate just what the loony left think of the average American

#7  I posted this over at Indy, just waiting for a witty response from one of the oh-so-brilliant Indy's...



It's a given that most technological innovation springs from the US. That can't be argued.

If what you are saying is true, that the *average* American is less intelligent that the *average* European (or whatever), then I think it must follow that the *smartest* Americans must be WAY smarter than the *smartest* Europeans. How else to explain our dominance in business, technology, military, etc.? Just plain dumb luck? Yeah, right.

I think what really gets you is the fact that there are actually some very intelligent people with different views from yours. Why does that aggravate you so?

#5  the looney left is right - the average American is too busy working 50-60 hrs a week, trying to support his family, be a good citizen, and pay his taxes to afford the LLL's social programs so that they don't always keep up on current events. Wish I had so much time on my hands to be brilliant as this ass-hat.

#3  "Vote for Howard Dean, you gullible, ignorant, uneducated, lazy, suckers. He'll be a better president than you deserve!"

Boy, that's persuasive, isn't it!

#2  Reckless spending? Hmm... apparently it's reckless to them only when Republicans do it. (Frankly, I'm not a big fan of it in either case.) The rest goes per lib template. How "independent." *eye roll*

If "analysis" such as this is what passes for intelligence overseas, I pity the Europeans more than anything.

#1  I read the ARG and I am suprised it's this close. This guy would be a member of the Social-Democrats if he lived in Europe. Bring em on, Bush in 04!
