Great Wall of Ignoramus
As my opinions on faith based convictions have already been well established, anyone with basic familiarity of the US political climate knows which party I wish to come to power. When it comes to the parties on the ballot, the word “choice” is a bit of a misnomer.
For all with a scientific understanding of the universe, the only option are the Democrats (a lousy option, the alternative far worse.) Those with a supernatural view of the universe will vote Republican.
Majority of those getting through life without the urgent need for heavy medication will share the world view of the household into which they were conceived. The apple travels but a short distance from the tree that bore it, it’s only hope for improved geography an animal in search for tomorrow’s meal. And since the fundamental beliefs are made for most voters by fate, at birth, the vote decision is as much choice as the offer from the dear leader upstairs, the one where we all supposedly have a choice not to follow him.
All of this brings me to Sarah Palin, John McCain’s vice-president candidate. In place of a long winded paragraph, I invite you to witness for yourself as Palin swiftly carves her own name in the Great Wall of Ignoramus: Part 1 | Part 2
Overall a boring speech, but well worth watching in full. The end gets interesting, with a crying prayer from the church founder, hands swaying hypnotically in the crowd under the camera and a god good overview of Palin’s roots deeply planted in ignorance, dogma, and a substance with a distinct smell of bullshit acting as fertilizer.
Based on his age, the Social Security Administration website calculates a 10% death chance for McCain in his first term, 27% should he get to a second.
One of the few qualifications for the most powerful world positions has become the ability to fit in with the average Joe by being an average Jane. The 21st century is much of a disappointment indeed.
