The problem is that schools allow so many people to major in - and graduate after studying - Gullibility and Irrationality (dual major) with a minor in Sheer Stupidity
People who believed those later advanced to believing
- Obama was born in Kenya and refuses to produce his REAL birth certificate. They also believe that
- An official state document (Obama's Certificate of Live Birth) is forged or otherwise invalid.
- That several state officials have, in effect, perjured themselves by swearing under oath that the document (The Certificate of [Obama's] Live Birth) is as represented: that the date, time, location of [Obama's] Live Birth is correct, and that the stated names of his parents are what his parents, um... stated.
- That a woman in Kenya who is 80+ years old - and has seen Obama only a few times in her life - and who WISHES that her grandson had been born in Kenya - is more reliable than people who
- have taken an oath to confirm an official document
- have risked their jobs and their reputations
- know they could be jailed for lying
- That Obama's parents, while in Kenya, had the good sense to bribe 2 Honolulu newspapers into printing fake birth notices - 48 years before their newborn son would become President of the USA.
- That a man who is half African-American/half Caucasian is a racist who has a deep-seated hatred for white people (including his white mother and the white grandparents who raised him for several years) - and that the fool who made that claim is NOT a bigot.
- That a long-standing and universally-accepted part of Medicare becomes a plot to kill old people when it becomes part of a proposal to extend health insurance to more people.
- That the streets of France, UK, and Canada are littered with the bodies of dead people who died waiting for medical care. Those countries' health care systems are ranked #1, #18, and #30 in overall quality, while the US system ranks #37. That means those people believe that being #37 is better than being #1, #18, or #30. Those people also wind up making change for you at the McDonald's drive-up window (make sure you count it carefully).
- In addition, they believe that the streets of the USA aren't littered with the bodies of dead people who couldn't afford medical care. They're somewhat correct, because we are quick to bury the 45,000 people in the USA who - every year - DO die from inability to pay for health care.
- That Medicare, VA health care, and TriCare are not socialized medicine, but that proposals exactly like them ARE socialized medicine and are therefore would be the downfall of the republic.
- That health insurers providers have the best interests of Americans in mind.
- They believe that since 'their side' screams the loudest and gets the most air time on the FAUX Noise Network, that they are in the majority, outnumbering the 65% of Americans who want more choices in health care coverage and the 70% of front-line providers - America's doctors and nurses - who want to be able to treat, comfort, and save people who can't afford to get sick or injured.
- That non-existent proposals for facets of health care reform will become (or would become, if they actually existed) "rationing of medical care" and "getting between patient and doctor," but that insurance companies' real-life everyday denials of coverage for doctor-prescribed treatments is NOT rationing and NOT "getting between doctor and patient."
- That Obama's pre-election bailout of Wall St. is the worst thing that ever happened to this country. He somehow managed to do that even though George Bush was the President at the time, and the plan was concocted by Bush's Secretary of the Treasury,
- That Obama woke up one day and decided to destroy our armed forces by agreeing to the Penatgon's request to cancel a wasteful defense project that is decades behind schedule, 10s of billions of dollars over budget, obsolete, useless, overrated and unproven. He further destroyed the military by approving the Pentagon's request to step up production of the drone aircraft that ARE relatively inexpensive and very effective in today's warfare. What a muslim-loving, America-hating liberal COMMIE (faggot, atheist, arugula-eater)!
- That calls for the death of the President and for overthrow of the government are harmless free speech from people who are amazingly like our country's favorite home-grown terrorist: Timothy McVeigh
- That a steady stream of racist thoughts, words, and deeds are not racism.
- That one political party's process of debating and discussing and disagreeing about proposals is somehow weakness and capitulation while the other party's rigid robotic lockstep of agreeing to everything from their leaders and disagreeing with the opposition on every matter is true democracy.
- That extreme noise from a tiny group of people constitutes wide-spread approval.
- That the FOX NOISE network actually broadcasts ANYTHING that is true, valid, or useful in a free country.
- That smears, slander, libel, defamation, and calls for treasonous actions are the American way - and that calm, reason, discussion, and truth are the road to dictatorship.
- That hanging teabags from their hats, carrying protest signs that proudly exclaim their ignorance, and bellowing make them true patriots and defenders of The American Way.
- That they don't need tin-foil hats. Actually, it would be aluminum foil, but who's checking facts, anyway?
This announcement was brought to you by the wacko wing of the teabagging faction of the not-necessarily-sane branch of the 1850 Whig party: Michael Steele, Chairman; Drug-addled Hypocritical Full-of-himself Gasbag, Rasputin.
