4. I wish stupidity was classified as an epidemic

The victims need to be in isolation wards, with no access to Faux Nooze.

12. Stupid people have rights, too.

That's why I don't so much mind that voter turnout is low. Though I wish voter turnout percentage was equal for Democrats and Republicans.

I think stupid people having the right to vote was why Plato didn't like the idea of democracy. "The wisdom of crowds" can turn into mass hysteria, fashionable idiocies, and rule by those most adept at lying to gullible people. Oh, did I just describe our country?

7. Perfect.

The "smaller government" meme isn't really FOR the average person.... it's for corporations who don't want to be regulated or taxed.

I always ask conservatives I know who complain about government interference in their lives just what it is exactly that they want to do that the government is preventing them from doing.... that's really important. Is the evil government stopping them from building a gazebo on their oceanfront dune? THAT'S oppressive? Do they want to dump their waste in the local reservoir? Do they want to run around naked? Smoke anywhere they want? What? What IS it that they simply cannot do that the government is cracking down on them for? And just how important is this taboo thing?

It usually comes down to not wanting to pay taxes.... because, as every Teabagger knows, street lights and highways were already here when Columbus arrived.

11. Good Toon.

I think, though, that there are some things the people who hate to govern are truly eager to govern. That would be anything to do with women's reproductive choices. They can't seem to keep their slimy little "regulatory" fingers out of those areas.

[EEO]

13. They only hate to govern when anything but their extreme right wing batshit agenda...

ins't going to happen. So virtually always.

[cascadiance]

14. Sounds like the mentality of people that want to vote for Measure 90 here in Oregon...

... which we really need to stop here if we don't want to give our government away to big money!

[Cha]

15. Yeah, the people hate the government because it's hijacked somewhat by A$$holes who make sure

they Hate it.
