Supremacy of the Stupid !

"all ya white republicans - wheres your birth certificate ? - Native Americans

The actions of the Democrats give only the illusion that liberals are weak, but that's because they're not liberals themselves but must try to appeal to a liberal-ish constituency while executing a right-wing agenda for their 1% sugar daddies. So they point their fingers at our lesser-intelligent brothers and sisters (conservatives in general) as the enemy of the liberals. This distracts us from the fact that the Democratic party is actually the enemy (as well as the more obvious Republican party). They divide us against ourselves so that we may never pose a threat to the establishment.

Great post Kennymotown! Many thanks for all the good you're doing here at CurrentTVNews.

Progressives sure better wake up and start challenging planet wingnuttia! Kletus the slack jawed yokel may be stupid... but these days he's extremely well financed with billions from criminals like the Koch brothers.

The same people who derail the point of those who believe that BO's legitimacy is questionable. . . are much the same as those who believe that 9/11 was a vast government conspiracy.
Six of those & half a dozen of the other. . . it's all madness.

Excellent article! So very true! Progressives have been far too polite, too reasonable. The big long-standing mistake in thinking that the other side is somehow just misguided and can be reasoned with is just plain WRONG. They are "true believers", you can't get a conversion out of them by reason. politics is religion, you don't get a "conversion" out of someone with a little polite reasonable talk. Nothing short of some kind of religious conversion experience will break their madness. High time to turn the tide against them, use their own weapons against them, yes get angry, hate, and use fear if necessary! they've used it successfully for years we have to get off our high-horse and FIGHT!

Great post Kenny!

I heard a comment from a right wing moron last year regarding NPR: “All they have are professors, doctors, and scientists talking about stuff”. This is a really profound indicator of just how far the “dumbing down” has progressed. There are a large number of people that are not only repelled by intelligence, they are actually proud of their own lack of it. This is a fertile ground in which to cultivate ideas that have no basis in reality and are little more than rumors. To combat this we cannot simply ignore it, but must counter it by presenting actual facts. Yes, these facts will have to be presented in simple terms but we have to start someplace.

So very true kenny, good post as to the photo above '' Oh my god, the dumb are buying billboard space ''. It's long past time for liberals to take a stand against mean stupidity.

Guess it's time for a new breed of liberal. One that's not afraid to stand-up for themselves, for others, who can win in any debate and use Republican's own tactics against them.
We're far too nice. What's funny is seeing what happens when a liberal looses his cool about republicans or to one specific right-winger. They suddenly turn into children pointing out "liberal violence" or "hatred" just for standing up for ourselves.

I think we should embrace these titles. Why can't we be bullies for a while?
Do I hate stupidity? -Yes! Yes I do.
Does it make me angry? Yes it does.
Do I care if they call me a bully - hell no!
If they can bully the poor, those dependent upon welfare/disability and demonize them, if they can introduce laws that appeal to one religion (but not others) and reduce a woman's freedom over her own body, If they can limit the right to vote by eliminating the means for many impoverished, out-of-state college students, etc....if they can take away our god given rights for the sake of "freedom" or "taking america back" - then I say it's time we give them one-for.

Call them out on their bullsh!t, and beat them at their own game.
Be smarter than them, and air out their dirty laundry for everyone to see.
The time for pleasantries is at an end. Being Civil, and Compromising is off the table. We've tried that, and when they want to compromise...they don't give an inch. Neither should we.

We need to educate people to their flaws, and to their lies by promoting truth, results, and facts.
We can't sit idly by as they dismantle our country from the inside-out.
It's time we put our foot down. If they wish to behave like children, then we should treat them as such.

The liberals are bought off.$$ is at the root of the capitulation.Yes,conservatism is stupid,moronic,and is a backward cult that only benefits the oligarchy.

Couldn't agree more with this article - it sums it up quite nicely!

all i can say to them is if you get your head out of your ass you might see it. thanks Kenny man what a moron they are.and disgrace to America

They can't win on the issues so they use fear ,"race- baiting", and religious intolerance as weapons. Conservatives are so predictable.

I think we, progressives, need to be ten times more agressive in countering the exploitation of the stupid people by the greedy and evil-minded republicans. We don't need to be nice about it anymore! We need to confront the racist stupid people with harsh facts until their heads explode!

The Tea Party was formed the very month a black man was elected to the Presidency. What! !None of their "government spending and growth issues" were pressing enough before the election of a black man? I know better. I have Tea Party bigots in my family. Luckily because they are composed of that segment of the population who are bitter, hateful bigots (and have always been that way) there is a natural limit on their numbers. They all flock together at Fox news. But they can never persuade normal compassionate fair minded Americans to their cause. They can just Twitter and Facebook with other Nazis.

Now that was a good read

I read as far as the phrase, "Enabled by a Too-Polite Left" and realized that this is either very tongue in cheek or a monstrous lie. Either way it did provide some morning entertainment and laughter. If there is one thing that the left absolutely cannot lay claim to is being too polite or even just polite. They generally are not even nice, unless you agree completely with them. Now if the author would have penned that liberalism thrives on control of the people and large, overreaching government it would have had some credibility.
Had to give this a thumb down in spite of the belly laugh it generated.

I said years ago when I was posting on that sellout bolg Huffington Post that we (progressives) should start taking these conservatives seriously, but no, we were too busy laughing at the comments of Palin, O'Donnel, ect, saying that thoes things will never ever happen. Fast foward five years and here we are. There is a chance that a Romney, Santorum, (google it), could become president. With the changes in voter laws, redistricting and states changing from winner take all to winner take county, ( thank you very much Gov. Corbett of Pa.). One of these crackpots can actually get in. Now is not the time for politics as usual of our society.

We have started to finally get angry (Occupy), we just need to treat them as they treat us. So the next time someone tells you they are a Republican, give them the old eye roll with a disgruntled "OH BOY", reply. They immediately go on the defencive and the look on their face is amazing. Try it. Call their ideology on the carpet, and do so mockingly. Since this is a so called "class war", have fun, we have already allowed the loss of everything else, what else do we have to loose? At least we will have our humor.

The South shall rise again.

I agree, and that is one of the reasons I became outspoken in the face of a conservative onslaught. I am a spot of blue in a red sea.

"Frum warns that "conservatives have built a whole alternative knowledge system, with its own facts, its own history, its own laws of economics". The result is a "shift to ever more extreme, ever more fantasy-based ideology" which has "ominous real-world consequences for American society"."

That's been my experience with them, even on this site.

They just live in a fantasy world where Ronny Raygun beat the commies and Jesus wrote the Constitution there really were WMD's in Iraq, etc. etc. etc.

Bill Clinton has an IQ of 172.
George W. Bush has an IQ of 95.

Jimmy Carter has an IQ of 168.
Ronald Reagan was 105.

An IQ of 100 is considered average.
Liberals will understand where I'm going with this. ;}

good read ,kenny...backs up what most here have seen with their own eyes.

Great article Kenny.

In Kenya,... DUH!!!

(actually I don't know or care, or claim that's where he was born.)

Excellent read. If people can be convince to go along with things that are in their worst interest, then we should be able to convince them of what is in their best interest. So it's time for liberals to stop being nice and start speaking up loudly about what is right. We cannot continue to roll over and allow the extreme members of society to decide the rules of the road or we all lose. Come on people wake up and speak up. Are we a society for all individuals or for just the ones that think they are better than everyone else?

Good article. Yes, the conservatives are enabled by the spineless left. Can't argue.

halftime is over
make room and start getting out of the way the roar of the engines is a small distance away

LOL kenny...entertaining read!

Where's your proof of citizenship?

Ah, the complete freedom from the burden of thought. Becoming nothing but a reactionary cog in a degenerating environment. What could be easier?
