I see why many rightwingnuts support bush |
|
Reading a chat MB, and OMG are they ever MISinformed and UNinformed! They seriously do not have a bloody CLUE!
"Iraq has WMD, we just haven't found them yet".
HELLO PEOPLE! What part of "NO WMD since 1991 and NO CAPABILITY TO PRODUCE OR BUY WMD since 1994" do you NOT UNDERSTAND???
"bush has never lied, that's been claimed before and proved false".
Say WHAT???!!!
"The flu vaccine shortage is Hillary Clinton's fault."
HUH???!!!
"Only you liberals think this war is unjust, and the rest of the world agrees it's just. The Iraqi people are happy we're freeing them."
EXSQUEEZE ME?????!!!
No wonder they support bush; they're completely ignorant of any & all reality and facts.
Best revenge...I hope someday they wake up & find out what very deeply totally wrong FOOLS they are.

1. Just reminds me of the three monkeys |
|
see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil
that is, until it all blows up in your face. Then just blame the liberals.

Yes. It's just like the outrage over Halloween though |
|
It doesn't matter how many times you stick it in their faces the history, the proof, they are going to see what they want to see and refuse to consider anything contrary to that point of view. The danger is that they are growing in numbers. :(

Last week when the military launched a raid into Fallujah, they had some military-type in Baghdad giving "play-by-play" and said the following:
"we're here to rid the Iraqis of these insurgents". Excuse me, aren't the insurgents Iraqis? :shrug:
These people have been fed a 20 year diet of lies and lies on their lies...they're so beyond reality now it'll be a pleasure when it smacks them up their fat, bald, pointed heads.

They never wake up, they never learn, they never change. I know we want to be fair, some people seem to know rational Republicans (I don't, honest I don't); but if you just look at how wrong and irrational they are about Vietnam, I don't see how anybody can say there's any hope for these people. They are wrong and they'll always be wrong and we'll always have to fight them.

9. The average person ... |
|
can tell you more about Sosophucks batting average, or who Jaylosa is married to, or what review the movie, Sumphookingbattle got, than they can tell you about any political issue that has a major impact on their freedom and financial situation and how it effects their kids and grandkids.
That's how the wealthy families and corporations win. That is why the game always works in their favor and they are batting endless home runs.
The people in the board rooms that cover for wealthy families and such, are well aware of the social, political, and financial implications of their decisions. Most of us, the people they control, are not.
When that dynamic changes, the World will change. No point in complaining about all the shocking stuff you see and hear. It is down while you are "distracted". People either are active and participate, or they let others do the thinking for them and leave them to sit in wonder about it all.

It's true, people know alot about pop culture. Funny, the right rails against it but if we didn't have it, people might start looking weirdly at them! But people also think they're informed. They believe minimum wage raises prices. They're going to believe Hillary's vaccine program reduced competition causing this shortage. They believe corporations have a right to make money any way they want to. They believe trees are to be logged. And a host of other things. They're just wrong. We have to stop acting as if they don't know anything and start telling them they're just wrong.

11. Best Revenge, They Stay Dumb Their Whole Lives |
|
I don't even bother explaining the truth to repubs anymore, I flat out tell them I hope they stay dumb.
Then, I usually make fun of their stupidity and lies. My favorites to make fun of are: "nobody was tortured" and "WMD are everywhere".
Seriously, like you just posted, who still believes the lies except for the most bigoted and sold-out hypocrites? If a person can't make fun of them, who can we make fun of?

that when you try to give them information or tell them the truth, they turn the other cheek and say they don't want to discuss it anymore. That's ignorance at it's finest.
