Intellectuals, Zombies and the Stupid

Historically, about one-half of the eligible voters have never bothered to show up at the polls. Evidently this segment of society has never related the success or failure of the economy to their lives.

Maybe the nation should be thankful. Anyone unable to see the relationship between voting and protecting the nation’s self-interests doesn’t have a clue about the consequences of bad government policy. So it is just as well that they have stayed home for generations upon generations.

But the times are a changing!

The current presidential campaign is trumpeted by the press as opening the eyes of millions of these people to the power of voting. Based on the poll numbers, quoted ad nauseam by the media, little, if any, of this enthusiasm is based on political knowledge.

These are the country’s dumbest voters. They are sleep walkers who head to the polls to vote for candidates because of their gender and/or ethnicity. They are joined and encouraged by the intellectuals who want to demonstrate their racial tolerance, and the zombies who automatically vote Democratic.

The vast majority of these Americans, if aware, would protest against any bill that brought the cost of gasoline to $8 a gallon, or doubled the cost of heating and cooling their homes, or tripled the cost of groceries.

They would come unglued if the US Congress promised the United Nations .75% of the US Gross National Product ($845 billion annually) for worldwide charitable causes, and knew America’s poor would never see a penny of this money.

So what if the Democrats want to protect the environment by confiscating the money used to grow the economy? They don’t see the personal relevance. And how could they?

They are blinded by the color of Senator Obama’s skin. That’s enough information for them. And they heard he’s about change. So what if he has no international experience, is pro-terrorist, an economic neophyte, and has demonstrated common sense shallower than the morning dew. No one is perfect.

These voters are in an ethnic trance. They don’t know that Obama introduced the bill (The Global Poverty ACT, S.2433) which automatically deeds nearly 1% of the US’s wealth to those conniving thieves running the UN.

They don’t know he supports the bill pending in Congress that will drive energy prices through the roof to “save the planet.” They don’t know that scientists are uncertain about the root cause of global warming.

They don’t know Obama plans on ransacking the retirement accounts of Americans by doubling the capital gains tax. They probably don’t know what an earmark is, or for that matter, the government’s source of revenue.

They don’t know that Obama supports the Boxer-Warner-Lieberman bill pending in Congress that will cost $6 trillion to reduce global warming 1%. They don’t know China and India’s growth could offset this expenditure.

They don’t know Obama will open the borders and encourage millions of illegal aliens to take their jobs. They don’t know he has promised to gut the US missile defense network. They just know he is black.

Senator Obama’s success confirms that most intellectuals lack common sense, and that political zombies and the stupid are the gravest threat our democracy faces.
