So I'm currently reading "Your Government Failed You" by Richard Clarke. I dropped it on the desk when I came into the hangar this morning and was almost immediately assaulted by one of the resident Palin/tea bagger/birther mouth breathers about how the government failed because of "retard Obama voters" and how the whole country "was going to hell" because of them. When I asked if he even knew what the book was about or who Richard Clarke was, he had no idea about either and didn't even want to hear it. I can remember a time that when you talked about "thinking conservatives", the adjective wasn't necessary. When exactly was it that the Republican party became the party of the proud to be ignorant-reactionary-purposely ill informed -lack wit? Why is it that these people are proud to replace information with ignorance and superstition and actually try to suppress fact?
