On voting day I was grabbing something to eat at a fast food joint, and over heard two old dudes rehashing those lies about the UN. He's like you can't trust that guy, I read he was working with the UN to take over the country.
I mean seriously this is the un-educated vomit that came out of their mouths. It's one thing to see the wackos of the internet post that kinda shit o a forum, but to hear that kind of shit out of some regular looking person just shows you how stupid a lot of people are.
This was in FL as I'm on vacation at the moment, but I bet I could have found a thousand more that would repeat the same stupid shit. These are the Fox news viewers, these are the christian right that read all those fucking ridiculous chain mails and listen to their "god loving" preachers whom say Obama is the anti-christ. They actually believe this shit and there are a lot of them.
It has nothing to do with common sense or what is good for the country, but rather hearing what they want to hear because they are scared into thinking something that is not based on reality.
The absolute worse of the worst are the ones in the Republican party that go along with this shit, because using this base of moronic simpletons is the only way they can get guys elected to get their lower taxes.

Society is stupid.
I have a friend of mine who is partially retarded. He owns a house and lives on his own, and drives, but is mentally stuck as a sixteen year old boy and always will be although he is fifty. He watches TV but is barely aware of who the President is. Can cannot debate anything, and he'll believe nearly anything any one ever says. It's sad really.
My point is there are a lot of people like this in society - not bright enough to comprehend the most basic things. Some of them are even college educated. I went to college for computers and a few days before graduation a classmate asked me what a pop3 email was - and then asked me to teach them how to set it up.
I have a guy down at my gas station, fifty years old, former Army guy. Dumb as a fucking brick. He barely makes minimum wage and can't figure out why he can't get ahead.
Whatever.
