Why do you do this to us, Daniel? We mean you no harm!
I do it out of love, I assure you.
Sheesh! And I’d heard such good things about love.
Love? Like that Mormon guy used water torture on his kids out of love?
Saaaaa-rah Palin she won’t listen to their bunk!
Saaaaa-rah Palin’s coming south to hunt some skunk!
Saaaaaaaa-raaaaaaah Paaaaaaalin’s Marching on!
………..Noooooooooooooooooo!
“She’s not a Harvard lawyer, but she knew what the Founders meant.”
Those two statements just about sums up what is so problematic with the Tea Party: their disdain for higher education and their revisionism.
But a catchy song none the less.
Stupid people can run the world’s most powerful country, too! Yay!
Dumbocracy in action.
At what point did Americans start thinking of stupidity/ignorance/lack of education as qualities to be admired? I’m constantly stunned by this. I want someone smarter than me running the country. Why do I often feel like I’m in a minority on this?
Because you’re one of those elitist educated types?
You don’t live in the real America.
I’m with you! But I guess I’m one of those Ivy League, elitist types. I always thought Bush shouldn’t have been proud of his C average at Yale, thought he should be embarrassed.
Yes, stupid people can and are running our federal government. This too shall pass. 2010 election was “just the beginning”.
Ugh…*headdesk*
It’s the American Gothic singers! They traded in their pitchfork for a microphone and a whole lot of crazy!
wonder what this would sound like in AutoTune…….. ;)
That does it…I’m moving to Canada.
Hey look, another white yuppie type threatening “to move to Canada”. I got an answer for you. GO DO IT. MOVE TO CANADA. Christ…
If there is one thing I hate more than Tea-baggers. It’s White Yuppie “edumacted” types who say they know whats best for the poor. Shit, I’d rather be a Tea Partier than some Yuppie “Harvard Lawyer”
Doesn’t this violate the law that says that churches that take tax breaks can’t endorse political candidates? What am I missing?
Nah. They’ve just crowded Palin into the pantheon. There’s Father; Son; Holy Spirit; their collective mother, Mary; and now Sarah, Goddess of…well, I’m not sure what. Discord’s already taken, I think.
I think these “patriots” intentionally forgot to name exactly who she is going to take it back from.
Palin Battle Hymn Unedited Version:
“Saaraahh Palllinn.. She’s gonna take it back from the Blacks”
Would this farce disqualify this particular church from tax exempt status?
Oh dear. I couldn’t help but notice…
“And when she gets to Washington, it’ll be cold as hell.” That’s true. It’ll be frozen over.
“Sarah has the wisdom to walk through an open door” is there an aptitude test for using doors now?
“She’s gonna scrub the floors and sweep the riff-raff into cracks” like sweeping them under the carpet (ie, not do anything about them, just pretend they’re not really there).
So maybe she isn’t dumber then Dubya.
I was thinking that too. If SP ever makes it to Washington, Hell would have frozen over. The open door thing too. WTF?
I’m going to have to try that walking through an open door thing myself. I bet that’d work!
Hell frozen over is what I thought too.
Is it sick of me that I want her to be the next President. So when the world is burning down all around us. I can screem– “I TOLD YOU SO!!!!”
I love the frantic hand gestures at the end! I thought for a minute he was going to make the ‘tape guy’ play it over again.
Didn’t make it to the end – about 40 seconds in my dinner tried to come back…
hahahahaha. oh god, she could actually be president… that makes me shit my pants.
Sarah Palin inspires me to go take a big DUMP!
Well…Erm…Wow.
I can’t even make a witty statement about this.
Shouldn’t that be blasphemy/a sin? They’re singing praises in her name… almost like… worship.
This Aussie atheist is dumbfounded!
That WAS a serious peformance, right? In a real church, right?
At first I thought it was a comic send-up of SP and the teapartiers, but after reading the comments, I realised it was probably genuine … sigh … thank *insert favorite deity here* we don’t have anything quite like it Down Under .. well, at least I sure hope we don’t! Maybe this poor atheist just hasn;t been exposed to such mind-blowing religious drivel.
Good Luck to all US atheists – you sure have to put up with some serious crap!

Hey, Aussie, didn’t you give us Ken Ham? So it’s not like you don’t have these nut jobs, just not quite the concentration we have here.
I suppose these karaoke fools have refused to accept their government social security checks in their retirement, right?
G’day Thin-ice,
Yeah, we gave you that whack job, Ken Ham, and we we were bloody glad to get rid of the wanker, I can assure you! It sorta helped increase the overall Aussie intelligence level, while reducing the US’s at the same time :-)
Don’t the Aussies have a saying that goes something like “Thank God we got the convicts and America got the Puritans”?
Wow, I suppose this site should be tagged as a “Hot Zone”, as the Palin Derangement Syndrome virus is burning through the place.
It’s interesting that all of you hiding in Momma’s basement are so elite and smarter than everyone in the room..
If you had the ability to see truth over your elitist view of this country you’d be useful citizens. Instead you choose to be drones, accepting everything you’re fed by the MSM as the truth.
So sad.
There’s no emoticon in the world that can do justice to the amusement I feel at this little tirade.
Then do a Kirby Dance!
<('-'’-')>
v(‘-’)v
Nope, I love your Kirby Dance!
:D
Thanks for confirming all the negative stereotypes about Palin’s followers. You’re a real credit to her.
This seems a perfect excuse to post this:

Hey ‘JackAssBoot’ The founders of this country were its ELITE, Not the Red Necks like you!
By the way kids, if you’d like to step out of the echo-chamber, come on over and play with the adults by using the link up there.
I guess I don’t understand the need to go to your echo chamber. I mean, who invaded whom here?
Critical Eyes- Of course you respond to a criticism with a personal smear. When you have no argument it’s necessary to resort to that.
Perhaps you should read real history- The Founders were from all walks of life. Shopkeepers, farmers, some lawyers and everything in between. The elitists were the Tories, professing like you to be “above” the commoners.
Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.
http://www.usconstitution.net/constframedata.html
Some were merchants and farmers, but by “farmers” a better idea is “slave-owner.” The founding fathers were all landowners and they were all educated. But, if we look at the majority (as we know the Tea Party loves to, especially in Tennessee), you notice that they were mostly lawyers and professional politicians.
Why is it only the ass-ignorant fucktards who use the word “elite” like it’s an insult? Actually…. That question sort of answers itself…
Don’t you love it when these guys like JackBoot fly in from left – oops, right – field, drop a few “ignorance” bombs to get us all riled up? Wonder where he came from, never seen that particular troll here before . . .
If you follow the link to his web site (don’t bother, it’s not worth it) you’ll find him saying he scattershot-commented on a number of sites he didn’t like: “I couldn’t resist dropping a few turds on the carpet of a number of particularly insane sites about this one.”
So, yeah, just a troll.
Yep. Attention seeker with a sad need to have everybody else hear him rant – to the point where he’s now trying to post the same crap over and over again under dfferent names because I keep deleting it and blocking him. Even responding to him further would validate him more than he deserves. So, yeah – Moderators: We read the inane dribblings of the mentally deficient, so you don’t have to.
Must be serious stuff. You usually let the inane dribblings stand even after you block somebody from posting more. Which hasn’t happened since…hmmm, can’t really remember when, outside of the forums.
It was a giant rant about how we’re the Librul Elite and we control the media and we’ve revised history to pretend that the founding fathers weren’t really all Southern Baptist Christians and that we’re all traitors and that USA, USA, Harley fucking Davidson, yadayadayada. Meh. Couldn’t be arsed giving his weak shit any more credence.
“we’re all traitors and that USA, USA, Harley fucking Davidson, yadayadayada.”
LOL!!!!!
IOW, herr derr derr!!! Deeeeee dee dee!
Ah, yes, I saw that particular rant before you deleted it. Just another garden-variety conspiracy theorist, in my opinion.
However, his theory does not explain the existence of FoxNews.
Well, you know how it goes. He had his three strikes and buffed his little e-peen thinking that we give a good fuck about him and the cognitive defecit that he’s repeating verbatim (minus the Dueling Banjos backing track) from his last redkneck Tea Bagger meet.
Heh – He’s currently on the “sock-puppet an innocent looking comment to get one over on the idjut libruls” tactic. Clearly, redknecks haven’t figured out the whole IP address thing yet. Dueling Banjos, I’m telling you. Three teeth, no chin and wall-eyes.
We’re the liberal elite controlling the media, while hiding out in our Momma’s basement.
Where else would you put our super-secret headquarters? Real bunkers are expensive. And the basement is within easy striking distance of the milk and cookies.
Sounds like this guy gives Harley Davidson a bad name.
It would be interesting if everyone here would visit the Intercollegiate Studies Institute, and take the
Civic Literacy Quiz. The average score for all 2,508 Americans taking the following test was 49%; college educators scored 55%. I got an 81%, can you do better?
http://www.americancivicliteracy.org/resources/quiz.aspx
Come on man, I’ve never been to the USA in my life and I scored 76% without trying.
I have to say, I’m not at all convinced that the “ISI” doesn’t have some quite anti-intellectual ulterior motives; the questionaire struck me as skewed in the second half. I’m also far from convinced that they’re accurately and honestly reporting their results – especially since giving your educational attainment level is optional, and that’s how they claim to categorise the results. Plus, since the survey is web-based, how do they validate people’s claimed educational levels?
The more I think about it, the more I’m inclined to write the “ISI” off as bullshit, I’m sorry to say.
As far as I can deduce, the initial test results were from actual exams and the web-page has been put up later.
I wonder how low it would have been.
79%. Gimme my green card.
I have to say that from Q 27 the remaining questions started getting rather strange. It wouldn’t surprise me if they were written by a Reagan follower.
I’m glad I wasn’t the only one to think that.
The last questions are BS. I got 4 of the last 6 wrong and their suggested answers are either political or plain wrong. for example they claim the correct answer for Q33 If taxes equal government spending, then: is D. tax per person equals government spending per person. Did anyone notice that in the question about Sputnik there isn’t a mention of Sputnik not being American.
Well, it is true. If income from taxes is equal to government spending, when you do the mean by person both are still equal. Of course, it is kinda a tautology.
84.85, some of that from memorization in school and I don’t know, logic? Not exactly my best subject, got 5 questions wrong.
96.97%. (I get a gold star!) It helps that I studied this stuff extensively. The one I got wrong was, indeed, as Yoav pointed out, a question with no right answer. Question 33 was extremely poorly constructed; it is a simple logical error that considering quantities in the aggregate is the same as considering them atomized. Compositional fallacy, dumb, dumb, dumb. You have to read the question and answer in a dementedly literal way (and have no knowledge whatsoever of how taxes or government expenditures actually work) in order for the answer to be right. A better answer (i.e. one that would actually be right) would be “the budget of the government is balanced”.
Also, while I got them “right”, questions 27 and 30 are more the expression of opinions than of facts. 27 is an opinion *widely held* amongst economists, but is a speculation nonetheless (and the price mechanism argument has been challenged seriously before). 30 is problematic because historically governments are all over the map in what they have tried when faced with severe recession; the Keynesian solution described as the right answer is not only one that isn’t consistently tried (governments try the “more spending” part but rarely if ever do the “less taxes” part), but has only really been available as a coherent option for the past hundred years or so.
87.88. I guess I have to leave the country now. I know too much about it.
i too got 81%, but partially because I mis-read one question (i missed the word “prohibits” and my brain sub’d in “allows” instead)
The questions at the end were a bit odd though. They were about economic theory or somesuch. They also seemed a bit biased because I’ve heard “experts” on all sides claim most of those answers as the truth of what will happen if the government does or does not follow various tax and budget plans. The “correct” answer for those is simply the opinion of the persons who created the quiz.
Whatev. Nobody cares what you think.
When you make a COHERENT case with EVIDENCE, then someone might care.
I think I might have trashed the comment you were replying to. The idiot has now posted (or attempted to post) the same comment five or six times under different names – Like, the exact same comments. He probably has a stock that he copies and pastes from, like a lot of frustrated, inadequate netwarriors.
I only got a 61%…. feeling a bit ashamed of myself, especially growing up in the Reagan Era.

“Your dilemma is this; the general public, average citizens that work and pay taxes have finally seen what you’ve so carefully hidden over the last few generations. You’ve been able to completely control the media and suborn them in supporting you through distortions, revisionist history and outright lies. That game is over, probably forever. The public will not (in the near future) be lulled into complacency by the left and their designs.”
Ummm…. control the media? Hiding stuff over the last few generations? Wow, Mr. Florien, et al… didn’t know ya’ll posessed such power.
Holy shit, John, quit lookin’ in the mirror and talking to yourself (I’d mention one other thing you’re probably doing as well, but we must maintain SOME dignity here . . .)
Let me guess: JK is a 66-yr-old recent retiree, who listened to way too much William F. Buckley during his lifetime. He was possibly was an elementary teacher in a private Christian school, or else an insurance salesman, or maybe both.
