BILL MAHER: PROOF OF JUST HOW STUPID THIS COUNTRY "REALLY" IS!

 

                     WHAT A "REAL TIME" MORON LOOKS LIKE
However stupid he may be, it is not often that I agree with him, but I do find myself in total agree with his recent statement that America is indeed a stupid country. And as hard to believe at it may be, it would appear that it might be on the verge of getting just a bit more stupid. Even though, according to Mr. Maher, we were smart enough to elect such an intellectual giant as Barry "Almighty", he still seems to be of the mind that we are simply too stupid to understand all that Barry is trying to do to get America on the right, or is the left, track. Anyway, my reasons for being in agreement with Bill are just a little different from those on which he chooses to base his opinion. The evidence that I use to base my opinion on is the unbelievable willingness of the American people, those same people who say that they are more conservative than liberal, to buy into the nonsensical rhetoric spewed by Barry on a daily basis, and then enthusiastically supported by his state run media apparatus. No matter to what degree Barry chooses to lie to us regarding all matters ranging from the economy, healthcare "reform" or making a case for mythical climate change, there are always enough people to be found who actually believe all the tripe. And the media can always be relied upon to come up with the correct figures or timely polls that somehow reflect the proper outcome in order to create the "image" of support for the policies of their beloved Barry "O."

We are now being told that our economy is on the mend, that we have finally turned the corner. We are repeatedly be told about how thankful we should be to Barry for his quick thinking and for putting his brilliantly conceived plan into action to expeditiously in order to rescue us. Never mind that it was the Democrats who put us on this road to financial ruin, no let’s not waste time trying to place blame, lets just fix the problem. Unless, of course there’s some way we can pin it all on George Bush. One thing that seems to be completely lost, or simply ignored, by our brilliant populace is the fact that our economy runs in cycles, and when it embarks upon a downward cycle to involve the government into any sort of revival never works and should be avoided at all costs. Especially when it’s the same government that created the environment ripe for such a downward cycle to begin in the first place. The government does not, no, make that can not, create the jobs necessary to slow or to reverse that downward direction. Barry is doing his best to engineer and is well on his way toward implementing a massive government takeover of our private economy, which can only result in having an adverse effect on any economic recovery. The economy will come back to a degree in spite of what Barry has tried to inflict upon it, but the speed with which it makes it’s return can only be hampered by the policies he is busily putting in place. And the damage, quite possibly irreversible damage, that will have been done may very well be with us well into the future because we will have allowed the government to encroach so deeply into areas that just one short year ago, were purely private enterprises. For years during the Bush Administration supposed honorable members of Democrat Party repeatedly told our then very sound economy was on the verge of collapse. Assisted by their minions in the media, those pillars of journalistic integrity, all were busy expending an inordinate amount of energy to print and to broadcast the same blatant falsehood trying to cause doubts about the strength of our economy in the minds of the American people. And now with the 2010 elections looming not all that far away, these same people are now attempting to convince us that an economy that is essentially at death’s door has now miraculously turned the corner, with the worst now being over and with us now fully on the road to recovery. NOT!!! As I said earlier, the economy runs in cycle and an economic recovery is almost inevitable, but will Barry get credit for it nonetheless, particularly because he took action that he'll be able to link, however speciously, with the recovery. That’s when we’ll see if the American people will allow themselves to be played, or if they will see things as they truly are.

Barry has been very busy in his attempting to convince us that the government can do a much better job at providing us with healthcare coverage than can all those evil insurance companies. He wants us to believe that his squad of bureaucrats who possess the same level of knowledge and experience for their jobs as he has for his, will be dictating to us exactly the type of care is best for us without all those silly tests. Oh and by the way, if we’re too old, or we have simply outlived our usefulness they will standing at the ready to kindly enroll us in some end of life counseling session. Gee, that makes me fell a whole lot better. And, you? The question remains, why is the healthcare that Barry is trying to force on we the little people not good enough for our members of Congress who are quite busy trying to make it our only option? The House Energy and Commerce Committee Democrats voted 31-28 to reject an amendment from Reps. Roy Blunt (R-MO), Phil Gingrey (R-GA), and Lee Terry (R-NE) that would have opened up the multiple-plan health coverage options available to Members of Congress to the public at large. Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY), who spoke at length earlier this week about the need to ensure Americans have access to the same quality health coverage that Congress gets, came out against the measure when the Republican trio offered him a chance to put his vote where his mouth was. "People will say to us, ‘Why can’t we have the same thing you guys have?’" said Gingrey. "We ought to give everybody in this country an opportunity to get this." House Energy &Commerce Chairman Henry Waxman (D-CA) responded that, in his view, opening up the Federal Employees Health Benefits Plan to the general public was unacceptable "because it strikes the public plan." Energy &Commerce Health Subcommittee Chair Frank Pallone (D-NJ) said the proposal to let the public into Congress’ health plan was based on "a false assumption" that the result "is going to be somehow better" than segregating Congress’ health care from that of the great unwashed. A separate amendment sponsored by Rep. Roy Blunt would have put all members of the committee on the record about the desirability of the Democrats’ "public option" by forcing them to vote for or against the automatic enrollment of all federal elected officials from Congress to the President in that public health coverage plan. "We’ve been challenged by many constituents that ‘if there’s going to be this government plan, shouldn’t you be a part of it?’ I agree with my constituents that if were going to pass this plan, we ought to put ourselves in it," said Rep. Lee Terry (R-NE). North Carolina Republican Sue Myrick concurred, saying, "If this is a good plan for them, it ought to be good enough for us."

The American people are becoming more and more oblivious to their freedoms that are slowly being lost, no not lost, stolen from them. All I can chalk that up to is that they are either stupid or are quite content to let things proceed as they are now doing. Either way, the end result is not going to be pretty. So yes Bill I do agree with you, America is a stupid country.
