We're Not Smart People

We're eeediots, babe:

Despite the overwhelming evidence and need to address its “inevitable impacts,” a huge contingent of the newly-empowered GOP members of Congress do not believe in climate change to begin with. A survey by the Wonk Room’s Brad Johnson finds that a member of Congress from nearly every state in the union — the so-called “Climate Zombie Caucus” — explicitly reject the threat of man-made global warming. Of the incoming freshmen, 36 of 85 in the House and 11 of 13 in the Senate have publicly questioned the science and “there are no freshman Republicans, in the House or Senate, who publicly accept the scientific consensus that greenhouse pollution is an immediate threat,” Johnson found.

Idiot wind, blowing every time you move your mouth
Blowing down the backroads headin’ south
Idiot wind, blowing every time you move your teeth
You’re an idiot, babe
It’s a wonder that you still know how to breathe.

The sailors couldn't turn the ship into the wind, so they gave up and let it run before the gale.- Acts of the Apolstles 27:15

It was gravity which pulled us down and destiny which broke us apart
You tamed the lion in my cage but it just wasn’t enough to change my heart
Now everything’s a little upside down, as a matter of fact the wheels have stopped
What’s good is bad, what’s bad is good, you’ll find out when you reach the top
You’re on the bottom

Idiot wind, blowing through the buttons of our coats
Blowing through the letters that we wrote
Idiot wind, blowing through the dust upon our shelves
We’re idiots, babe
It’s a wonder we can even feed ourselves

1. Ignorance is 'doable' for a lot of people

That is why one word policies like 'NO!' resound so well on the right. Any toddler understands 'NO!!' If a toddler can master it then by god so can FOX viewers!

3. Well, it would help a lot...

if some of our "smart" people quit fucking saying shit like the errors were insignificant, and redistribution of wealth is more important than the fucking environment!

[niceypoo]

8. Many Capitalists believe that money will insulate them from the damage they cause

Money is more important than life, doncha know?

2. It no longer surprises me how ignorant the GOP is. These people are proud of their stupidity

Most of those morons will think the title of your thread is a famous song done by Rod Stewart.

4. It oughta be! n/t

5. Most of them would not know the Bob Dylan song at all.

They would only know the hits.

And interpret the lyics to mean that poor people are lazy. That's how they interpret all song lyrics.

6. Some of them wouldn't even know those..

I can't imagine Jean Schmidt or Virginia Foxx EVER listening to Bob Dylan.

7. We truly ARE in the handbasket now!!!!

:scared: :cry:

9. ... they’re planting stories in the press ... Their minds are filled with big ideas, images and

distorted facts ... You hurt the ones that I love best and cover up the truth with lies ... We’re idiots, babe. It’s a wonder we can even feed ourselves ...

10. Re that boat before the wind: at least the idiocy, damaging though it may be, will drive those

who see reality closer and tighter together.
