The Party of Dumbness

Herschel Walker, former NFL running back and the candidate for U.S. Senate from Georgia endorsed by Ronald T. Dump, thinks he's smarter than all those egghead scientists. Yep, he's come up with a real gotcha question for us Satanic believers in evolution.


The Republican front-runner for a Senate seat in Georgia, Herschel Walker, last weekend expressed doubt about evolution, citing the existence of apes as his reasoning for doubting the scientific theory.

“At one time, science said man came from apes. Did it not?” Walker said while speaking to the lead pastor of Sugar Hill Church in Sugar Hill, Ga.

“Every time I read or hear that, I think to myself, ‘You just didn’t read the same Bible I did,' ” responded the church's lead pastor, Chuck Allen.

"If that is true, why are there still apes? Think about it," Walker said, posing the question to Allen and the crowd.

Yep, for a Republican it's a feature, not a bug, to be so stupid you couldn't find your own ass with a compass and a map. But if elected, he will actually not be the stupidest Republican senator. That's a dead heat between Ron Johnson and Tommy Tuberville, both of whom probably think Walker just came up with a brilliant demolition of cultural Marxism. It is profoundly disturbing that people actually vote for these morons to be U.S. Senators.

I guess if you want to vote Republican, it makes perfect sense to cast your vote for someone who’s been diagnosed as bipolar.

I saw a photo from a recent rally where Shitler was speaking. Someone paid a bunch of African-American men to be right within the camera angle, wearing shirts that said “Blacks for Trump.”

One revolting, disgusting, completely reprehensible and outrageous tactic of Republicans is to pay African-Americans to say and do things to support the non-causes that Republicans put forth, in an effort to manufacture a completely ersatz credibility. I heard through a reliable source back in the 1990s about how a television station basically paid an African-American pastor to say that he supported the war against Iraq, so they could package this for TV and make it seem real.

The speake’s point was that conservative media and politicians will do anything, absolutely anything, to get what they want.

They are utterio fraudsters.

Sensible people come to vote for morons in two ways. First, there are of course two candidates, or more, on the voting paper, and one candidate, moron though he is, may be the least of the various evils. So the moron gets elected. This is a feature of the system. Second, the voter can only choose from those presented to him as candidates, and the party machines work in ways which result in unsatisfactory (incompetent, venal, stupid, etc) candidates being put before the electorate. This seems to be a bug in the system. The feature may have to remain, but surely the bug can be fixed.

Sug, you seem to be missing the point. The Democratic incumbent in this instance, and presumptive nominee, Raphael Warnock, is highly intelligent, well informed, and a brilliant orator. I cannot think of a Democratic candidate or incumbent in high office who is anything like as stupid as Johnson, Tuberville, Walker, and a whole lot of others. This is a feature of one party, not the other.

And then there are the incredibly stupid appointees -- witness one Joseph Ladapo appointed the surgeon general of Florida. He is so incredibly stupid that all you have to do is look at his soulless, dead face to know. And the antichrist governor of FL has decided to place him at the head of the state's public health structure.

This is akin to putting Elmer Fudd in charge of the Bureau of ATF&E.

I do take Sugarloaf's point, however. So many times, as Cervantes has noted in the past, it seems that voters are being offered a choice "between dog food and dog shit." But with the conversion of the Republican party to total hypocrisy, maliciousness, lies and abuse, it's easier now to just vote a straight Democratic ticket and guarantee that one will be less likely to abet what can only be called evil. And I hate to use that word ... but the time for "trying to understand the other side" has passed because Republicans now actively encourage fraud, lies and death in various forms. They are, in essence, mentally ill as a group.

This has happened in history many times. Anyone who supported the Bushes' invasions of Iraq was basically in the throes of a manufactured delusion. Most people still don't know about the Amiriyah air raid shelter that we hit on. February 13, 1991, killing 408 (largely) women and children. And that was really only a fraction of a percent of the total number of people in Iraq that the Bush father and son killed, along with the antichrist Cheney, who also enabled 9/11 in one form or another.
