They’ve just done a bang-up job with the urban school districts in this nation.

No wonder they’re so stupid.

“...I hold a Masters (in Mexican History mind you)”

A Masters in Mexican history? Wonder where can I find that pamphlet.

26% of Americans are really f***ing stupid.

That 26% jibes nicely with the core "strongly approve" support Zero always has in Rasmussen polls........

The fact that THEY are the ones responsible for the holes in American public education seems to slide right on by.
Teacher's unions? Heaven forfend that they should bear any responsibility. Isn't it odd that the failure of public education is somehow a "rethuglican" flaw? Particularly when 95% of all teachers are Leftist, brain damaged, intellectual cripples?

Ever notice how eager they are to shy away from admitting that education majors are one step up in the academic hierarchy from Phys Ed majors, who are the absolute bottom of the college barrel? The dregs that sit in the cracks? They either go Pro and wind up fighting dogs, or sell cars and aluminum siding.

The leaders who get all the credit were, in large part, wealthy landowners and powdered wig elites who pontificated from behind safe walls. . . . the more things change the more they stay the same.

Poor DUmmie. Most of the founding fathers gave up huge fortunes for treason (to the UK) and independence.

Mexican History:

We lost.
We lost.
The Mayans were awesome!
We lost.
Kill the Indians!
We lost.
We got our asses kicked.
We lost.
Kill the Indians!
By the way, you're in our country.

Independence from England.... I wish the US hadn't. We'd have a national health plan.

Well Obamacare comes close but you really, really, really wanna remain healthy see?. Oh and brush your teeth very well for that British style health plan.

Among all the condemnation, there should be at least the minor point that the historical fact in this case doesn't matter f*** all to the lives of most people, and that people will tend to focus their mental energy and memory on Sh*t that Matters to Their Lives.

Eff yeh dude---like American Idol, Lady Gaga and Jerry Springer re-runs. Effin rich screwing up the country then and sheet now.

I found this on an old blog. It’s an actual post from DU right after the 2000 election. I reread it earlier today and just howled:

Me-From an unnamed poster at dunderground

>What we MUST realize in order to win - Americans are stupid and uninformed

Me (This from those who believe that an IQ of 70 is above average.)

>This is very important because in order to win we must understand the way the average American thinks. I’m afraid WE have nothing in common with them.

>I came to the two following conclusions when I saw the large number of people who voted for Bush back in 2000.

>#1 - I would dare to assume that most of us here are in the upper 1%-20% of the population intelligence-wise. We must come to the realization that the majority of the population is in the lower 80% to 99% percent of the bell-curve. WE are not the norm. The Republicans understand that the average American is not very bright. They cater and pander to the masses. The Democratic Party tries to appeal to the population about “issues” that these people just don’t understand.

Me (Are you gagging yet?)

>I’ve heard it said that the reason that Clinton’s sex scandal resonated so strongly among “the people” was because it was a scandal that the average American understood. The average person can’t understand a financial scandal.

>In addition, people of average or lower intelligence tend to not be as logical or reasoned as those of higher intelligence - they deal with emotion. Therefore they are more likely to get riled up about someone burning a flag rather than a illogical tax cut.

>#2 - The majority of people do not read the newspaper OR listen to the news, CNN, etc. Therefore -they get their news from the Tonight Show, Letterman, Oprah and Saturday Night Live. Or, they get their news from talking to their co-workers at the water cooler.

>Also, for the few people who DO listen to the news - who do they hear it from? Fox News and Bill O’Reilly are the most popular. Most newspapers and media outlets are owned by Republicans.

Me (Oh yeah. Like Viacom, Ted Turner, NYT, LAT, Chi. Tribune, Wash. Post, etc, etc.)

>THIS is what we are fighting against people. In order to win we will need to start pandering to the masses.
***************************************************

These people are supernaturally stupid.
