Bus Fumes

Wonderful. Here are two of my favorite way to win friends and persuade people to your point of view:

Belligerence is the currency of the intellectually bankrupt.

And...

Let’s face it: This is no party of Einsteins. Really, it isn’t. A Pew poll last month found that only 6 percent of scientists said that they were Republicans.

"You're stupid and you should let your superiors make all your decisions for you."

About that belligerence thing, Bucko: your own president is telling his people to hit back twice as hard as anyone who questions The Plan too much. And that's not belligerence?

If you don't understand and you ask questions of the people who supposedly have The Answers, that's not idiocy; that's superior intelligence.

If the people with The Answer are too damned busy buying big ol' jets that the military didn't want so they could go on more junkets on the taxpayer dollar to actually read The Plan and be able to answer questions intelligently, or respond by having union goons beat people up... well even a toddler could figure out something smells.

When physicians, who will be most directly affected by The Plan question its effectiveness, that's what? Stupid? They must all be *gasp* Republicans?

When people who voted for the President and the good folks in Congress question the profligrate spending of their tax dollars and the tax dollars of their children and grandchildren to come that means they suddenly drank the Republican Kool-Aid and got stupid?

"I know better than you, so shut up and get out of my way, and do you mind handing me your wallet before the door hits you in the ass?" is not the way to talk to the voting base.

And we are the base.

Deal with it.
