“You are not entitled to your opinion. You are entitled to your informed opinion. No one is entitled to be ignorant.”
― Harlan Ellison
The Gadfly truly wishes not to believe that there are people this goddamn dumb walking around out there, but there are, and it's fucking frightening.
Interviewer: What kinds of crimes would you include in the articles of impeachment (of Hillary Clinton)?
Dumbass Man on Street: Extortion, treason - umm - if there was a "Benedict Arnold" law it'd be her, so yeah basically.
Sigh . . . . . . treason is the Benedict Arnold law you imbecile.
That exchange, for some odd reason, reminded The Gadfly of this bit from Mel Brook's "Blazing Saddles":
You said treason twice.
I like treason.
One of the end goals that the modern-day conservative movement has ardently striven for is to destroy public education, and make it much more difficult for Americans of meager and modest means to have affordable access to secondary education. We can't be having too many smart, well educated, well informed people interfering with the aims of the dullards - dontcha know.
Looks like their plans are succeeding apace - the people in this video are the tangible result of those malevolent efforts.
