Stop Pandering To Stupid People

Ever since Fox News jumped into the ring, the already shaky journalistic integrity of television news channels went from borderline tabloid reporters, who would rather report on things that entertain, and, thus, sell more advertisements, straight into the shitter.

Now, recently, I have frequently heard talk of these so-called "low information voters." I asked myself, "what the fuck are these people talking about?" Then, after listening, the obvious answer, which I wanted so badly to think wasn't true, was indeed the answer: the corporate whores have found a way to cauterize "retard!"

We have had so much politically correct sterilization of our language that we can't call these people idiots, humans of sub par intelligence who refuse to be educated and would rather hold onto their guns, religion, and rhetoric.

No more niceties, people who are ignorant of-oh, I don't know- facts should not be voting to begin with. We wouldn't have this problem if people weren't so ignorant of basic facts and seem to prefer, instead, to turn to corporate figure heads for their facts along with the grand daddy of all ignorance creators... religion. Of course, schools are now putting more god in their courses, not less.

The rise of so-called conservatism that is destroying this nation is intrinsically linked to the viral spreading of this most heinous and destructive of human vices.

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary:

Belief: Assent to a proposition or affirmation, or the acceptance of a fact, opinion, or assertion as real or true, without immediate personal knowledge; reliance upon word or testimony; partial or full assurance without positive knowledge or absolute certainty; persuasion; conviction; confidence; as, belief of a witness; the belief of our senses.

What is religion? What is spirituality? What is belief? It is ignorance.

And, ignorance is the very evil that prevents truth from spreading.

When only half of Americans voted in 2000 and those who voted for Governor Bush- because that is the only office he was ever elected to- voted primarily on the basis of their faith, why should I have any hope for this country.
