Americans: The Stupidist People On Earth!

    That's a radical title isn't it? Truly, I cannot come to any other conclusion when I observe what's going on in our country. We have thousands of years of world history from which to learn and hundreds of years of American history to instruct us and we still don't seem to be able to take that accumulation of practical experience and put it into a plan for a rational society.

     For instance, I just read where California is now asking judges what their sexual orientation is so that there would be more homosexual judges on the bench for fairness reasons. So, Californians believe that one cannot properly judge any case involving homosexuals unless one IS a homosexual. Now carry this to its logical conclusion and you will have to find judges who are pedophiles, who practice bestiality, who are rapists, murderers, thieves, etc. If you are one of the few who can rationalize you will have, by now, connected with my point!

     Americans have, arguably, had access to the world's greatest literature, including the Holy Bible. We've had great leaders in science and have amassed countless scientific discoveries, some positive and some negative. In the medical field we've made great strides in surgical procedures and in the elimination of certain diseases. Yet we have not yet figured out that the male of the species is specifically designed to mate with the female of the species!

                                                                                                       

     How many years has it taken the medical community to discover the fraud forced on American patients by deceitful and greedy pharmaceutical companies? Finally, after years of trial and error, of countless lives being treated like laboratory rats, the medical community is discovering that statin drugs are dangerous! That statin drugs actually cause heart failure and cancer is something that has been known by natural healers for a long time but the medical community is just now beginning to admit it! And, when you see the commercials for specific drugs, followed by a list of 10-20 side effects including the thing your are taking the drug for in the first place, plus death, you would presume the listener would say, "That's not for me!" but, because we are a STUPID people we take them anyway. Now we are not IGNORANT. Once you've been told these side effects exist you cannot claim ignorance. You're just STUPID!         

     Our Nation is fighting a war in Afghanistan. So far we, the American people, have provided the Afghans will a little over 8 Billion Dollars in aid. Medical care, education advancements, liberty for women and girls, infrastructure, and protection has been GIVEN them, yet today, (3/1/12) two more of our service men have been murdered because of an accidental burning of the Koran. We cannot claim ignorance regarding Afghanistan because they have thousands of years of history by which we can learn. No, we are STUPID for thinking we can somehow change them.

    I live in Michigan. Our last governor ran our state into debt, put us in the place where we had, at one time, the highest unemployment rate in the Nation, so what did we do? We elected her to office again and made the damages even worse. The majority of people in Michigan are STUPID! In fact, I believe that if she would have been able to run again we would have elected her again. Instead we elected a governor that has us in a surplus for the first time in over 10 years!  He only got elected because the STUPID people were too confused as to what to do since his predecessor left them dizzy!
                                                                                                                           

    Do you know that probably 95% of us could not pass a quiz given to 5th graders at the turn of the 20th Century? Most of us would have a hard time with a McGuffy's Reader! That's how STUPID we are! We think we're smarter because we know more stuff but the STUFF we know is about sports, or movies, or television programs. We may have developed a skill that gets us by but what happens when that skill is no longer needed? We're out of a job and don't have a chance!

     Now, while I'm railing about this I want you to know that I consider myself, and a few friends, a handful of public officials, a cut above STUPID! At least I know that men are supposed to marry women, and I know that if I take a pill that has 10 strikes against me I deserve the outcome. I'm smart enough to know that when a society outlaws marijuana and puts warnings on cigarettes, yet lets the liquor industry slide it doesn't make sense. I know that when you pour 8 Billion dollars into a thankless people, of whom the majority would slit your throat if they had the opportunity, it's a dumb thing to do. I know that when a President is pro-homosexual, believes and supports abortion, including partial birth abortion, when he is found on video to talk of his Muslim faith...he is NOT a Christian! Even I am smart enough to know this! So what conclusion must I come to? I must believe that Americans are just plain STUPID!

     When a millionaire in America runs for public office and tries to convince us that he "feels our pain", way too many people believe him. He doesn't have a clue! This can happen even among Republicans and conservative people. On the other hand, if you are a liberal democrat you are definitely STUPID!

     I for one am grateful for God's grace because if it were not for Him, I would be even STUPIDER!
