CA to Wa-Mart: Pay Up Deadbeat

[Colanth]

What continues to astonish me is Republican voters who continue to vote against their own economic self-interest every chance they get. Can't they see that the carnivores they keep supporting have nothing but contempt for their own supporters and see them as marks and dupes too stupid to see the truth because they watch FOX "news" and worry more about their fucking guns than minimum wage or workers rights.

No, all they can see is that this candidate is a God-fearing fundamentalist Christian who, if elected, will save them from the homosexual agenda (which will make their marriage worthless by forcing the government to allow homosexual marriage).  Or whatever fear has been drummed into their empty heads.

Most sheep don't have the intelligence to keep a thought in their heads when someone is yelling a different thought at them.  That's why one of the requirements for voting, when the nation was founded, was land ownership.  Most people didn't own any land, they were tenants.  (The reason that Australia became Britain's prison colony soon after the American Revolution is that Britain could no longer send its prisoners here.)  To own land one had to have at least a modicum of ability to think.  Today being born here and having not died for 21 years is all it takes.  I have trees that, but for species, are qualified to decide how our nation should be run.  And many voters aren't much more intelligent than those trees.
