How uneducated, limited, and stupid can you be?

An astounding 55% of college students have zero clue what Socialism is. Yet, over 50% assert that Socialism is preferred to the dastardly capitalism of the US.

90% of college professors who assert to be liberal, love Socialism. Alas… The privilege of the worst disease ever beset on heretofore “higher education”: tenure!

Just as another astounding aside, 57% of liberal identifying students answered a NO to this question: Are you proud to be American? I proffer an alternative to those little uninformed, privileged little pukes: get the backpacks your moms paid for and get the hell out!

I will forego some 20 more statistics apropos of this—now—diatribe. Those get increasingly incendiary, and dumber, dumber, and dumber. And remarkably stupid. The extensive enumeration of those might get me scorn rather than cement me being a provocateur. Also, occurs to me that while my readers would in fact appreciate those, as to the barely-functioning idiots I am grousing about, I would be whispering into a hurricane.

So… Sharing the pulpit on the matter of stupidity, with some of my favorite quotable writers:

“Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I’m not sure about the former.”

       – Albert Einstein

“I don’t get high, but sometimes I wish I did. That way, when I messed up in life I would have an excuse. But right now there’s no rehab for stupidity.”

       – Chris Rock

“Stupidity is a talent for misconception.”

       – Edgar Allan Poe

“To forget one’s purpose is the commonest form of stupidity.”

       – Friedrich Nietzsche

“One man alone can be pretty dumb sometimes, but for real bona fide stupidity, there ain’t nothin’ can beat teamwork.”

       – Edward Abbey

Special mention to…

“Stupidity really gets me going, when it’s just plain stupid, obvious stupidity.”

       – Lewis Black

“Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.”

       – Martin Luther King, Jr.

“If you pretend to be good, the world takes you very seriously. If you pretend to be bad, it doesn’t. Such is the astounding stupidity of optimism.”

       – Oscar Wilde

Super-duper mention to Canadian Maple Trees…

You know how bad socialism is when Canadian maple trees refuse to cough up—Canadian Maple Syrup!

Biden dipped into the national petroleum reserve to bring down vertiginously rising gasoline prices. That MAJOR POLICY MOVE can fuel your gas-tank for 3 days. Well—pick your favorite quote on stupidity herein-above.

Not to be outdone, the Quebec Maple Syrup Producers (QMSP) organization that reigns over some 70% of all maple syrup production worldwide, dipped into the Canadian national maple syrup reserves to make up for—maple syrup shortage.

I am telling you, those Chinese military and econ. drivers know what they are doing. Imagine baking a worldwide maple syrup shortage into the COVID package.

Just say’n…
