52% of Americans are Ignorant and/or Stupid.

If my title offends you then I guess you are one of the people who should be offended. As poor a candidate as John McCain was he was the better choice. At least Sarah Palin had some true conservative ideals but she was totally demonized by the left and their propagandists in the media. It's actually quite interesting to see feminists eat one of their own because she doesn't fit their mold. The two supposed champions of women's rights, Liberalism and it's cousin Feminism, have proven themselves to be hypocritical and completely irrelevant by their treatment of her.

This article pretty much sums up my feelings of the election.

Barack fools us

Whole world will pay for America's electoral mistake

A young student friend e-mailed me on Tuesday night.

"Have locked myself in my room because the place is full of little idiots -- who cannot spell Barack Obama's name and could not name one of his foreign or domestic policies -- running around screaming obscenities about George Bush, conservatives and how Sarah Palin is a bitch. I love democracy!"

Even so, the people spoke. A victory for the hysterical Oprah Winfrey, the mad racist preacher Jeremiah Wright, the mainstream media who abandoned any sense of objectivity long ago, Europeans who despise America largely because they depend on her, comics who claim to be dangerous and fearless but would not dare attack genuinely powerful special interest groups. A victory for Obama-worshippers everywhere.

A victory for the cult of the cult. A man who has done little with his life but has written about his achievements as if he had found the cure for cancer in between winning a marathon and building a nuclear reactor with his teeth. Victory for style over substance, hyperbole over history, rabble-raising over reality.

A victory for Hollywood, the most dysfunctional community in the world. Victory for Streisand, Spielberg, Soros and Sarandon.

Victory for those who prefer welfare to will and interference to independence. For those who settle for group think and herd mentality rather than those who fight for individual initiative and the right to be out of step with meagre political fashion.

Victory for a man who is no friend of freedom. He and his people have already stated that media has to be controlled so as to be balanced, without realizing the extraordinary irony within that statement. Like most liberal zealots, the Obama worshippers constantly speak of Fox and Limbaugh, when the vast bulk of television stations and newspapers are drastically liberal and anti-conservative.

Senior Democrat Chuck Schumer said that just as pornography should be censored, so should talk radio. In other words, one of the few free and open means of popular expression may well be cornered and beaten by bullies who even in triumph cannot tolerate any criticism and opposition.

WEAK TOWARD ENEMIES
A victory for those who believe the state is better qualified to raise children than the family, for those who prefer teachers' unions to teaching and for those who are naively convinced that if the West is sufficiently weak towards its enemies, war and terror will dissolve as quickly as the tears on the face of a leftist celebrity.

A victory for social democracy even after most of Europe has come to the painful conclusion that social democracy leads to mediocrity, failure, unemployment, inflation, higher taxes and economic stagnation. A victory for intrusive lawyers, banal sentimentalists, social extremists and urban snobs.

Also a defeat for one of the weakest presidential candidates in living memory.
Why would anyone vote for a man who seemed incapable of outlining his policies and instead repeatedly emphasized a noble but, if we are candid, largely irrelevant war record?
He was joined by a woman who was defended so vehemently by her supporters when it was cuttingly evident that she is years away from being, and perhaps never will be, a serious candidate for senior national office.

Most of all it was a terrible defeat for democracy and the United States. A politician of nothing defeated a nothing politician and a credulous electorate screamed in adoration. I fear we will all suffer very much indeed.

Grab an article of Newsweek this week and see what the McCain campaign has to say about your beloved Sarah Palin! I have several neighbors who have great morals and values as you would put it...however, they lack education, experience and the willingness to think outside the box...just like Palin! Having "good" morals doesn't qualify you to run a country!

I have to agree with the title of your post. I was litening to the radio a day or two after the elction and there was a woman on there going on and on about how now all her problems were solved, now that BO was going to be president, she would not have to worry about losing her house or finding a new job. UMM WTH? how do p[eople get these ideas, did they vote for him cause the think he is going to pay off all their mortgages?

Um...tell us how you really feel. I'm glad to see that you are venting on your blog and not just to me.

Wow. I am sure that even more than 52% are truly ignorant when it comes to what are government is doing.

Great article D. SB this article is not making the point that Palin is qualified to run the country or speaks of morality for that matter.

The bailout plan. Seriously, whatever happened to you reap what you sow and personal responsibility?

A couple good quotes

"A government big enough to give you what you want is a government big enough to take from you everything you have."
~Gerald Ford

"You cannot help the poor, by destroying the rich.

You cannot strengthen the weak, by weakening the strong.

You cannot bring about prosperity, by discouraging thrift.

You cannot lift the wage earner up, by pulling the wage payer down.

You cannot further the brotherhood of man, by inciting class hatred.

You cannot build character and courage, by taking away men's initiative and independence.

You cannot help men permanently, by doing for them what they could and should, do for themselves."

-William Boetcker (falsely attributed to Abraham Lincoln)

Nice to see you posting again. In the early going it appeared as if 52% of the people commenting were stupid too.
