You Live In A Country Run By Idiots If...

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Via Monty Pelerin's World blog,

We truly live in a country run by idiots. The contradictions between common sense and government actions are just too many to have happened by accident or chance. But perhaps the leaders are not the idiots. Maybe the people tolerating such leaders and laws are the true idiots.

What follows is a contrast between common folk wisdom and what Washington considers wisdom. These contradictions are inconvenient for government, threatening to reveal their incompetence or hidden agenda. The author of this piece is unknown although it sounds like something that could have come from Jeff Foxworthy who popularized this presentation style.

Oh, and regarding the image above - we are the idiots for accepting this nonsense.

If you can get arrested for hunting or fishing without a license, but not for being in the country illegally, you live in a country run by idiots.

 

If you have to get your parent’s permission to go on a field trip or to take an aspirin in school, but not to get an abortion, you live in a country run by idiots.

 

If you have to show identification to board an airplane, cash a check, buy liquor or check out a library book, but not to vote who runs the government, you live in a country run by idiots.

 

If the government wants to ban stable, law-abiding citizens from owning gun magazines with more than ten rounds, but gives 20 F-16 fighter jets to the crazy leaders in Egypt , you live in a country run by idiots.

 

If, in the largest city, you can buy two 16-ounce sodas, but not a 24-ounce soda because 24-ounces of a sugary drink might make you fat, you live in a country run by idiots.

 

If an 80-year-old woman can be strip-searched by the TSA but a woman in a hijab is only subject to having her neck and head searched, you live in a country run by idiots.

 

If your government believes that the best way to eradicate trillions of dollars of debt is to spend trillions more, you live in a country run by idiots.

 

If a seven year old boy can be thrown out of school for saying his teacher is cute, but hosting a sexual exploration or diversity class in grade school is perfectly acceptable, you live in a country run by idiots.

 

If hard work and success are met with higher taxes and more government intrusion, while not working is rewarded with EBT cards, WIC checks, Medicaid, Subsidized Housing and Free Cell Phones, you live in a country run by idiots.

 

If the government’s plan for getting people back to work is to incentivize NOT working with 99 weeks of unemployment checks and no requirement to prove they applied but cannot find work, you live in a country run by idiots.

 

If being stripped of the ability to defend yourself makes you more safe according to the government, you live in a country run by idiots.

 

If you are offended by this article, I’ll bet you voted for the idiots who are running our great country into the ground.

We can allow women control the world only to find themselves transgendering themselves into a man. Poor Bruce Jenner finding out his closet jig became a rating's joke. Who would of thought? 

Bruce and Megyn Kelly can have political correctness "group hugs" while society laughs at them.

"Democracy is the canal through which bolshevism lets its poisons flow into the separate countries and lets work there long enough for these infections to lead to a crippling of intelligence and of the force of resistance." - Hitler

 

This rant and the above quote mean what?  Perhaps that history can repeat?

If you have a government that allows huge swaths of its manufacturing go to communist nations and even fought a war against the proliferation of communism that cost 50k lives, then those same govt 'leaders' wonder why all their tax base has been destroyed by the destruction of those lost jobs, you have nation run by corrupt idiots

The KFM is in full effect worldwide.

(Kike Fraud Machine)

They own/control the pertinent "information" websites.
They own/control the social media
They own/control the banks
They control our foreign policy
They own/control the mass media
They own/control hollywood
They control wall street
They control YOUR CHURCHES
They own/control YOUR BELIEFS!

They pull the strings of the "empire" by tugging on the heart strings of gullible christians that have been brainwashed into believing these kike fraudsters are their "friends" and "chosen people" (If you write a fairytale, of course you're going to name yourself the "chosen people" and Revelations is their warning/roadmap on how they plan on enslaving the goy worldwide told 2K years in advance)

Look at the pertinent names that own or control all of these entities.
Look at the propaganda they push out for mass consumption.

You will know your enemy by their actions and ways.

Time to do what has been done over a 100 times over the last 1000 years. Eject Them! Throw them out for doing the same things here that historically they have done to other stable societies and governments.

Do it soon before they totally destroy this republic!

"If a Jew is chasing a gentile in order to murder him, it is forbidden to kill the Jew in
order to save the gentile, even if there is no other way to save the gentile's life. A
person who kills the Jewish pursuer in order to save the gentile's life must be put to
death. But if a gentile (or a Jew) is chasing a Jew in order to murder him, one must
kill the pursuer in order to save the pursued person (if there is no other way to save
his life). This law applies to a ger toshav as well.

Sources:
Minchat Chinuch commandment 600"

"2.2) In a commercial transaction, if a Jew charges an exorbitant price or conceals the
low quality of the goods from a gentile customer he does not owe the gentile any
compensation (as he would owe a Jewish customer). According to some opinions, it
appears that this law is not applied to a ger toshav; it is forbidden to cheat him and
therefore he must be compensated if he is cheated. In any case, it is clear that if a
gentile charges an exorbitant price or conceals the low quality of the goods from a
Jewish customer, he owes the Jew compensation.

Palestinian Talmud Tractate Yevamot chapter 8 8d:1"

"2.3) When a Jew owes money to a gentile who has passed away, the Jew is not obliged
to repay the debt to the heirs, provided the latter do not know about the debt. If the
heirs ask the Jew whether he owed money to the deceased, it is even permissible to lie
to them and deny the debt (provided the Jew knows for sure that they do not know
about the debt, so that the name of G-d will not be profaned by his lie).

There are many more enlightening things on that PDF file for you (the GOYIM) to read

Read ALL of it to understand how deceptive and knifing they really are.

the idiocracy is democracy where the electors have abandoned their vote for popcorn and TV--bread and circuses.

And the elected are a breed of birds--- once they have understood that-- which morphs into vultures like in Hitchcock's movie.

In the old days, every village had a well known and easily identified 'Idiot'.  They were the source for much entertainment and merriment, and in as much were greatly valued by the people in the Community...Not at all harmful, always happy, a drooling booger eater perhaps, but they were OUR drooling booger eater and we loved them.  Many a wonderful time was had discussing their antics.  They were also a teaching tool to the kids to be kind to unfortunates..Its not a badge of honor to pick on a Booboo.. etc. 

Back in the 80's in Grygla Minnesota, there was a guy known as 'Pinhead'.  Looking back, this poor unfortunate was was a microcephalic of some sort...He had a hard time keeping a John Deere hat on his head, that plastic snap at the back was maxxed out on the smallest denominator setting, and even then it settled on his tiny little noggin so far down it pushed his ears over in a comical manner.  His head was no bigger than an orange.

Pinhead was hired by all and sundry to do the work nobody else wanted to do.  Any repetetive or menial boring task that didnt require much thinking, splitting wood, digging a grave, shovelling snow, even driving a hay wagon, Pinhead was your man.

One Spring, Hans Hansen let Pinhead drive his tractor to plant a field.  Halfway through the job, Pinhead decided he would take a break and drove Hans' tractor down the road a few miles to the local watering hole...yep, he was planting seed all the way there and back!  We laughed more at Hans than Pinhead!

These .gov people now a days are not 'Idiots' in the traditional definition...they are more like Pennywise the Clown crossed with John Wayne Gacy..

I'd vote for Pinhead for any civic office..He didnt want to hurt anyone and was funnier than hell...I doubt any of these 'idiots' mentioned in the article now a days could even drive a tractor.  I moved away chasing the dollar, and heard later he froze to death sleeping between two mattresses in that winter after Mt. St Helens popped when it got 50 below for a long time...the whole town turned out for his funeral..He made us all feel better for his time on this Planet, and even now, all these years later, I think of him and aspire to be half the man he was..

That's totaly correct about situation in Russia under putin regime rule.

 

Because putin regime:

Is that in interest of russians? I don’t think so. But if russians tolerate that than they are truly idiots.

It's all well and good to call Americans "idiots" for the results of their elections, and they truly deserve that title for the low turnout they achieve, but how much can really be expected of one voter in a land of complete gerrymandering, a two-party system, and elections decided by the morons in less than 5 states?

This is a "blame the victims" article.

 

Our political system doesn't provide us a way to say "none of these candidats".

 

That is why we get the self-serving sociopaths we get...no way to say NO.

You get the government you deserve. If you allow yourself to believe that these officials will take care of you, you will be the first to be Darwinned off the island... Enjoy your bread and circuses while you can. The bastards that promise to take care of you will sacrifice you to save their own skins... 

WTF

Loub15,
You are absolutely right.  We are using bread and circuses straight down the road to hell and will follow Rome there if we don't make some changes.

Then again, it may already be too late.  Beware September 2015.  It is not looking good.

I think most of the posts here are by people who do not understand how the "entitlement" system works.  The amount of money going into these programs, setting aside SS, is a paltry sum when compared to the amount of money the US spends on it's military; and I'm only talking about the numbers on the books.  If people were to pay the real price for petrol at the pump, they would have a compleetely different view of what entitlements they are receiving every day.  Granted, the US has massive oil reserves available to tem, but factor in the amount of money that goes toward protecting Saudi oil fields and the corp subsidies to oil and you get a very different idea of where your tax dollars are really going.  The welfare queen is a red herring, there to confuse and detract from what is really going on... and you all eat it up.

Entitlements are not even mentioned in the Constitution but defense is and I question the legality of spending on SNAP, EBT, WIC, Section 8 Housing, Utility supplements, and OPhones, just to name a few.  We have hooked 3 generations on government dependence to the detriment of the country.

Furthermore, the defense spending has been cut 25% to the point our military is the weakest it has been since World War II. It is entitlements that are out of control and that includes Social Security and Medicare/Medicaid. These are all Federal programs and the truth is that state and local finances are even worse off.

honestly, you people and your constitution.  it was written 240 years ago, before the industrial revolution, during slavery and long before a fuller understanding of complex economies.  it's almost like taking your worldview from a book written between 2000 and 5000 years ago... oh, sorry people still do that too.  most of the people who post this crazy shit on this site would be in a worse predicament if they lived under the same conditions as those living during the founding of your country.  my only question in regard to your question on the legality of anything is, are you trained as a lawyer?  if not, then you most likely don't even understand the constitution, like it can be amended!
