THE SOUTH, REPUBLICANS, AND OTHER SIGNS THIS COUNTRY IS TOO STUPID TO CONTINUE

If we are not getting dumber as a people, the people we keep putting into office certainly do not qualify as industry standard then. Even worse, the people who keep voting these losers seem even dumber. The problem here is a failing school system that is dumping our youth onto the streets with ZERO skills to get ahead. Hell, most can barely read and write according to some studies. And this is not a left/right issue as both sides seem to suck really hard at coming up with the common sense solutions to any issue.


Let's take this week snowstorm which paralyzed the south again after a couple inches fell. You know what we call that here in the Northeast? Tuesday. But that is somewhat unfair as we have a zillion plows and they have two plows from the 1960's, a wheelbarrow with a hole in it and a "legal" immigrant named Raul with a shovel. What is not in question are two factors that led to the debacle in Atlanta specifically.

The first was government planning, spanning a democratic mayor and a republican governor. No matter how they want to spin this, they are ultimately to blame for all of it. My favorite was listening to the governor, Nathan Deal, actually blame the weathermen for "inaccurate" forecasting. Now while that could be a legitimate argument, dumbass forgot to check beforehand to see of it was right, as the whole world will check, and no it turns out the National Weather Service's forecast was dead on, as  warnings were given as early as 2:30 am. Idiot. So instead of realizing that several inches of snow might cripple the city as they do not have the ability to keep the roads open, the mayor and governor failed to close all government offices, schools and whatnot for the day and ask people to stay home. They should have closed the highways once the snow started falling and arrested anyone out there trying to go somewhere without an excellent reason. Had they done that, like we do here when we have major blizzards that make travel impossible, everything would have been back to normal by now. Instead, they will be clearing stalled cars for weeks.


The other morons in this scenario are all the people who decided to go to work, send the kids to school, knowing full well a major storm was on the way and chances were pretty good the roads would become impassable. I know it was a long time ago, but citizens of Atlanta have to go back all the way to the distant memory that is 2011 to remember that this happened last time. WTF? So three years ago, snow and ice fell, people got trapped in their cars and the entire city ground to a halt for four days. And what did Idiot America do this time? The exact same thing. They all went about their business like nothing was going happen and when disaster struck, no one was ready. Awesome. This is why America is too stupid to exist as critical reasoning seems all but dead. How do you not remember burning your hand on the stove and five minutes later do the exact same thing?

Recent polls do not foster hope for any resolutions to happen anytime soon. Apparently, Sarah Palin sits atop potential 2016 presidential runners with a whopping 70% approval rating. Are you kidding me? One of the dumbest women in America has GOPers frothing at the mouth for a run at the top office, a person so unqualified, I can unequivocally say, my dead cat would be a better candidate. If this is what the Republicans think as a great person to beat Hillary, good luck with that. I hope she does run. She will lose worse than any other presidential candidate in American history. Bet on it. Oddly enough, Mitt Romney is surging back up, according to some polls, probably buoyed by the recent Netflix documentary "Mitt." But chances for him running are slim to none as once you've lost, especially by the huge numbers Romney did, the establishment is unlikely to pick you a second time.


Rounding out the field are Mike Huckabee, Paul Ryan, Paul Rand, Jeb Bush, Ted Cruz and Chris Christie. None of the these are likely to win come 2016 no matter what spin they try. Huckabee is too religious, Paul Ryan and Rand Paul are too close to the Tea Party to make the grade, Jeb Bush has to deal with his last name, now synonymous with failure, Ted Cruz is insane and Chris Christie is fat and corrupt. If Sarah Palin is the best they have, god help the future of the GOP.

Unless Republicans start making better decisions they are going to wind up with corruption from people like Christie, gridlock courtesy of Mitch McConnell, insanity from anyone in the Tea Party and now, bullying on camera, from idiots like Mike Grimm (R-NY). Seems dumbass this week though it would be so smart to threaten a reporter with bodily harm on camera for daring to ask about the FBI investigation into Grimm's alleged campaign finance crimes. These are the people you are voting for. These are the same asses who want to eviscerate food stamps, social security, Medicare and every other program that does nothing for them and everything for the rest of us. Stop voting yourself into an early grave. The democrats may suck but not all of them. Once we get rid of the Republican losers, we can get rid of all the democratic ones next. The truth of the matter is, we really do have the power to make changes in this country but they will not come easy. The best way is to vote and get rid if anyone from either party too cozy with corporate America and start getting people in who are looking out for our best interests, not just the one percent. The Tea Party is fascist. Deal with it. Show up in 2014 and let's give the democrats enough rope to hang themselves with. If they have complete control of everything and still mess it up, it's game over, but at least we will know and not be caught in this never ending gridlock called Congress.
