American Intelligence.

[5thHorseman]

Pretty sure I read a thread here recently whining about why people think Americans are less intelligent. It's because if you're dumb enough to watch FOX and vote in people like this, you deserve to be called stupid. I'm not even going to mention the % of population who think the world is <6000 years old or Tennessee's new law. I can't believe what you guys have to put up with. If the paranoid GOP take over in January 2013, i'm volunteering my bedroom to be a refuge to AF.org women. I'll provide the pill for free and sexual services to ensure that your pill is value for money and not just a wasted tictac. Giggedy.

How do you deal with wankers like this?

Alan West, Republican Congressman from Florida:

speaking to about 100 supporters and 15 protesters in Jensen Beach, the freshman congressman refused to name names after saying that that he had “heard” that 80 Democrats serving in the House of Representatives were secretly Communist Party members

Don't let the existence of a vocal minority color your opinion of an entire nation. And yes... they are a minority. Sure, the majority consider themselves "Christian" or at least "believers", but the lunatic fringe is just that.

I don't let them colour it. I know just from being in NYC for 5 days that none of these asswipes represent any Americans I met. Everyone I spoke to was a god damn lib.

But they sure are vocal and visible.

How do you deal with wankers like this?

I have to limit any television with politiics in it to almost absolute zero. The morning news will say a few things and that is the extent of what I see. Even then I'll start cursing at the television and calling people 'fucking idiots' which is when the wife reminds me to just not pay attention.

So, basically out of sight out of mind. It allows me to keep some semblance of sanity.

By concluding that the hallowed "forefathers" were such visionary geniuses?

Bet the great men didn't see Roger Ailes coming, despite his ample figure.

I'd say we're more unhealthy than fat. There are fat people, but they aren't the majority. Of course I might not see too many because they don't get out a lot.
