I’d be confident that Obama voters averaged even lower on that national civics test than the general public’s pathetic score. Democrats aren’t called Dummycrats without reason.

Snarky and nasty silliness passes for intelligence on Jon Stewart's The Daily Show, on You Tube, and from the likes of Bill Maher. And here's today's example (Cracked.com):
[iPhone app] The Constitution

Imagine it's a lazy Sunday morning. You're lounging about in your most comfortable thong, enjoying some German horse pornography--then suddenly there's a knock at the door. It's Barack Obama's Communist Police force, there to take your guns! Free Republic was right!

Fortunately, you know your rights because you're the proud owner of the Constitution reference application. Though the developer neglected to include a search function, so this program is best utilized by those that have already memorized the Constitution. And that's you... right?

Funny, right? Sure. Just like nitrous -- laughing gas -- makes one 'funny' -- the long term effects of indulging such slandering and cynical humor are utter stupidity, a mental derangement that is like an edgy senility. I can name one culture where such humor was common.

Because I've watched "Cabaret". That is, they got the 'german animal porn' reference right -- but strangely the reference is to those who who enjoy such 'sophisticated' humor! That is, to the reader of 'Cracked'. To the writer of this piece -- it was in his mind that the image first sprung up. And why was that, eh?

We all go through phases of our life where such biting, nasty cynical humor is welcome. Yet we tend to get out of such rumps, or get older, wiser, kinder. In time we learn to shut it out, to see it as the rot-gut liquor it is. It provides a short immediate relief, but makes one sick and comes to rot the gut.
