On being Stupid
Edited on Wed Sep-21-05 07:20 PM by Tom Yossarian Joad
(apologies to the two GREAT and worthwhile posts in GD that this is a take off on. They are both well worth reading and much better than this post. If you haven't read them, do so and vote them up!)

Being Stupid means I voted for Bush

Being Stupid means I listen to Rush

Being Stupid means I watch Fox News

Being Stupid means I believe all of the above.

Being Stupid Means I believe Intelligent Design is a science.

Being Stupid means a lump of tissue is a more viable form of life than brown skinned people.

Being Stupid means I'm actually writing this post.

Being Stupid means I'm still waiting for the WMD to be discovered.

Being Stupid means that I believe the more money Halliburton has, the richer I'll become.

Being Stupid means Katrina was sent to punish (fill in the blank).

Being Stupid means I contribute to the 700 club.

Being Stupid means FEMA was late because Clinton got a blow job.

Being Stupid means Barbara Bush & Ann Coulter are hot!

Being Stupid means poor people like being poor.




Help me out here. What else does being stupid mean?

5. Being stupid means believing that Bush is a
compassionate conservative; a Christian in the true sense of the word.

Being stupid means that Bush is manipulated by his handlers and he's too damn stupid to know it.

6. Being stupid means. . .
You believe the economic boom in the 90s was a result of Reagan's taxcuts, 6 years after he left office.

You believe the recession we are in now, is a result of Clinton. Which started a year after he left office.

You believe trickle-down/supply-side economics helps out everybody.

You believe Jesus really was white with Anglo-Saxon looks.

You believe Jesus would be Pro-war, anti-abortion, and Pro-death penalty.

You believe corporations can be trusted to look out for your interests far better than a collection of your fellow workers (union).

You believe the National Debt doesn't matter.

You believe the weakening of the dollar, can be made up with military strong-arming and veiled threats.

You believe oil will be around forever, and always be cheap. So who cares if you and everyone you know drives around in Hummers.

You believe we should "support our troops" and "support the war" but GOD FORBID you serve yourself to prove your point.

You believe Your God hates gay people just as much as you do.

You believe "global warming" is a "natural" occurrence.

11. Here's my personal favorite:
Being stupid means I believe that there are a finite number of terrorists in the world, and that the way to end terrorism is to kill all of them, and then there will be no more terrorists and everybody will be safe and sound. Oh, and that no non-terrorists will happen to get killed while we are in the process of killing the terrorists.

13. More stupids
Edited on Wed Sep-21-05 07:37 PM by smoogatz
Being Stupid means Saddam was involved in 9/11--the REAL evidence will come out any day now.

Being Stupid means that we're fighting them there so we don't have to fight them here.

Being Stupid means "supporting the troops" is the same as supporting George W Bush.

Being Stupid means that George W Bush actually gives a flying fuck about Democracy in Iraq--or anyplace else in the world, including the U.S.

Being Stupid means George W Bush was legitimately elected in 2000 and 2004.

Being REALLY Stupid means George W Bush has a "mandate."

Being stupid means that huge tax breaks for corporations are good, but helping the poor is bad.

Being Stupid means trillions in tax cuts for the rich are good for the country.

Being Stupid means that America is a Christian nation (as opposed to a nation primarily made up of Christians)

Being colossally, dangerously Stupid means that God has chosen George W Bush to be president, and all those who oppose him are against God.

16. Being stupid means
that you believe Pat Robertson is a sincere man of God who preaches for the sole reason of bringing the beautiful truth of the Gospel to the unbeliever.

Being stupid means you believe Condoleeza Rice is qualified to be Secretary Of State. (Fill in whatever Bush appointment and their appointed office at will)

Being stupid means you are convinced that poor people without transportation of any kind could have gotten out of New Orleans before Katrina hit.

Being stupid means that you believe Bill(y) O'Reilly has a brilliant mind.

Being stupid means you think things would really be great if America would return to the way it was in the 1950's.
