Not The Onion: Poll Shows 30% Reps & 19% Dems Support Bombing Fictional City From Aladdin
Submitted by Mike Krieger via Liberty Blitzkrieg blog,
If a nation expects to be ignorant and free in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be.
– Thomas Jefferson
Liberty cannot be preserved without a general knowledge among the people, who have a right, from the frame of their nature, to knowledge, as their great Creator, who does nothing in vain, has given them understandings, and a desire to know; but besides this, they have a right, an indisputable, unalienable, indefeasible, divine right to that most dreaded and envied kind of knowledge, I mean, of the characters and conduct of their rulers. Rulers are no more than attorneys, agents, and trustees, of the people; and if the cause, the interest, and trust, is insidiously betrayed, or wantonly trifled away, the people have a right to revoke the authority that they themselves have deputed, and to constitute other and better agents, attorneys and trustees.
– John Adams
Something that is often overlooked in our indictment of the corrupt status quo, is that one of the main reasons crony politicians and rapacious multinational corporations are able to so seamlessly pull off their unethical schemes is that a large percentage of the voting public is little more than a mass of ignorant zombies.
Proof of just how dangerous this ignorant mob can be was perfectly illustrated by a recent Public Policy poll which showed 30% of Republicans and 19% of Democrats support bombing Agrabah, the invented city from the animated Disney movie Aladdin.
Ladies and gentleman, I introduce to you the American primary voter.
From the Guardian:
Almost one-third of Republican primary voters would support bombing the fictional kingdom of Agrabah, according to a report released by Public Policy Polling on Friday.
More than 530 Republican primary voters were polled this week on their support for Republican candidates and foreign policy issues including banning Muslims from entering the US, Japanese internment camps from the second world war and bombing Agrabah, the kingdom from Disney’s animated classic, Aladdin.
In its poll, Public Policy Polling asked the 532 Republicans: “Would you support or oppose bombing Agrabah?” While 57% of responders said they were not sure, 30% said they supported bombing it. Only 13% opposed it.
Public Policy Polling also polled Democratic primary voters: only 19% of them said they would support bombing Agrabah, while 36% said they would oppose it.
According to the PPP, “[Donald] Trump is at 45% with Republicans who want to bomb Aladdin and only 22% with ones who don’t want to bomb Aladdin.”
One in four of those polled by the PPP said that Islam should be illegal in the US and that they support the US policy of Japanese internment during the second world war.
What First Amendment?
And you wonder why things are the way they are. These are the people who will choose the Presidential nominees for each corrupt political party.

Bomb Obamaville - the city that destroys people and businesses with soul crushing regulations and overbearing taxes - but gives you "free" health care that actually costs you twice what it used to cost you... or go to jail. Oh, and the city is a gun-free zone with the highest gun murder rates on earth.
We're not that smart.
This is what I tell myself, so that I don't stay pissed off.
I'm seeing that. I expected a lot more of the superior race. Bet Hitler is glad he's not alive to see this day. He'd be apoplectic.
My survey shows 37.5% American believe human have two ass holes.
Only chicks, and the second one is called the front-butt.
"Can"t keep your legs shut? Then put one of these babies in your front-butt................Today's Sponge...........Contraceptive."
SNL
There are numerous clips from the movie 'Idiocracy' that would provide a metaphor for this. So hard to choose just one.
Great movie. As one elected politician said to me "Joe, the voters are retarded and choose to stay that way. All we can do is recognize it and use it to win". No bs his words. I was much more idaolistic back then and didn't believe it. I believe it now. Thank you department of education.
<-- Amerikansky bomb crap out of ISIS
<-- Amerikansky defer hard work to Russia
"War is God's way of teaching Americans geography."
Hell yeah, bomb the F out of them.
And we got Sidewinders to take down their damn flying carpets, too
This would really be funny if it weren't so sad. I have long said that the American public, as a general statement, has got to be the dumbest bunch of people on the planet.
I see nothing wrong with bombing Agrabah. I didn't read the entire article, why is this even news?
Make sure to read "The Marching Morons" by C.S. Kornbluth.
C'mon it's them or us!!!

Sounds like a regular socialist paradise there, mob rule if ever there was one...
"The American public, as a general statement, has got to be the dumbest bunch of people on the planet."
Canadians are right up there with the dumbest bunch of people on the planet. They just elected a NWO leftist fag like Justin Trudeau as Prime Minister who vowed to airlift 25,000 Syrian Muslims into Canada by January 1st.
Meanwhile, nearly a quarter of the Muslims polled in the U.S. believed that, “It is legitimate to use violence to punish those who give offense to Islam by, for example, portraying the prophet Mohammed" and nearly one-fifth of Muslim respondents said that the use of violence in the United States is justified in order to make shariah the law of the land in this country.

Why is it sad?
The author is obviously predisposed to glass-half-empty pessimism, but his argument is predicated on 100% familiarity with some Disney fantasy.
The asked a bunch of Repubican primary voters a question with three possible answers- YES, NO, or I DON'T KNOW.
Only 30% coughed up the brain dead YES answer, where 70% repsonded with NO or I DON'T KNOW.
57% responding I DON'T KNOW to any poll question should be encouraging, because it is an honest answer.
Show me a poll a Democrat primary voters where 57% are willing to admit THEY DON'T KNOW something.
I don't know if one exist.
Barky will surely condemn Russia for not doing their part in taking in Agrabah refugees.
Democracy is a death trap when low information voters decide the elections. Banks like it that way. Easier to rob and rape the public. Manditory public schools is how it is done.
'Taint pussy and 'taint asshole...
FAIL!
Open the camps, start the ovens
Reset
FAIL! ~ There were never any ovens, lampshades, or bars of soap.
See Some Butt Seize Some Front
I'd believe it if we're talking about politicians. They spew a lot of shit from their mouth.
They do have two assholes, Trump and Hilary.
Americans have two assholes. One is between their butt cheeks and the other is in the White House.

This isn't a surprise. The gullible and stupid has always been with us, except now they can get a degree in stupidity.....
and still qualify for welfare if it doesn't pan out...
Especially if it doesn't pan out.....
Should have done this poll on ZH. I doubt the stats would be that much different...
Just phrase the question "trump wants to bomb Agrabah, do you agree?"
We might even get a higher percent of "yes" votes.
Are you a recent public school graduate?
As the article points out, a WHOPPING 30% of Rs and a tiny little 19% of Ds support bombing. And we are supposed to be impressed that democrats are a whole 11% less stupid?
What I find amazing is that an average 25% of respondents are willing to bomb a city that clearly has access to MAGIC. How do you think that's going to work out for you, buncha morans?
Moron
Look in any mirror
Too fing funny. The comments on this thread are priceless.
If the name doesn't sound McAmerican, it's their fault they're being bombed. Watch the videos of GIs rationalizing raping Iraqi women. Breath taking.
Yes
Dems don’t like it so much as that is where most of their votes come from. No photo ID required.
This would actually mean that Dems as a whole are 37% "less stupid."
In other words, if you're a random Replublican, your chance of being an idiot are about 37% higher than if you were a random Democrat.
Yeah but if you look at incarnation rates it's like 9 dems to one republican. So retarded yes, but law abiding retards.
Rounding error. What's the over/under?
Bombing Agrabah is very smart. We don't want Putin to get his hands on that flying carpet technology!
Also need emergency funding for permanent bases in Agrabah, otherwise we'll wind up with another vacuum.
I say we bomb Tomorrowland. Those fuckers never did deliver my personal rocket-car..
Occupying Agrabah is already in the works. The CIA has a man on the inside, Jafar, who has the king under his control....
I hear have belly dancers there! To hell with the oil.... I'm bringing freedom and democracy there myself!
"Bombing Agrabah is very smart. We don't want Putin to get his hands on that flying carpet technology!"
I guess that's why they call it "carpet bombing"!
The flying carpet gap must be closed immediately!
I nearly shit my pants laughing while reading this.
This is proof that America is fucked with the unintelligent citizenry that we have responsible for deciding this country's future.
Anyone who thinks otherwise needs to read the prophecies of 1984 and Animal Farm to get their head straightened out.
Best to get out now while you can.
Out to where? You'd need a fucking space ship to get out of this clusterfuck.. paging Elon Musk..
How about a submarine or deep sea base w ecosystem.
Or underground city on a remote uninhabited island.
Some ppl think about these things .... :)
Whether you are downvoting something you see as idealistic and impractical, or just had a bad day... there's nothing wrong with thinking outside the box.

People act like this is some kind of poor theater performance they can walk out of into a bright day of reality.
O RLY
Here is how it really is. You finally manage to walk out one stage door (after an exhausting struggle, mind you) and straight into another part of the same shit show. Different actors, different stage, exact same script word-for-word.
It's called the human world and it's not going away anytime soon except that it takes all of us out with it. And no you do not want me to elaborate on that point.
Might be doing that city's retirees a favor, I hear their pension fund obligations exceed tax revenues by 10X! They can go out quick and easy rather than starving to death in the cold.
The sad part is the pentagon has already war gamed it and is prepared to start the campaign. Boots on the ground to follow. "Operation Flying Carpet"
Barry still thinks he campaigned "in all 57 States" and Bush had no clue where Iraq was on a map before he bombed it back to the stone age (which evidently wasn't too far).
Dumbing down Americans is a top priority of DC.
For reasons that are far frm PC, I think "which wasn't too far" is both wrong and misleading about you and he worth of your other ideas.
That wasn't as blatent as many, but it casts doubt on the rest of your thought, quite valid I thought.
We depend on identifiable personalities who have good judgment contributing their knowledge. That sort of thing is noise, obscuring an otherwise good signal.
S/N is what we live or die by in these next critical years. If we don't think our way out, we are going to have to violence our way out. We will, whatever it takes, but that is such a sub-optimal path.
Clean signal !
And 100% of Reps devoid of independent thinking(except that Hawaiin chick)
Looks like Reps aren't the only people devoid of independent thinking. Keep on telling yourself there's a difference between the two parties.
Ohhh, my bad, i meant representatives, not repubs, ha.
P.S. And only gave her props cuz she has a clue about Syria
Gotchya. My Bad.
Looks like a misread. I think he thought you meant rep = republican, not representative.
I wondered why people were staring at me, had to make sure my fly was zipped
Hey guys, Tulsi Gabbard is a Democrat.
You can't get elected as a Republican in Hawaii, so sensible conservatives must run as democrats.
Bomb Hollywood?
Oh wait, that's what they make there.
Absolutely.

Peak idiocy.
What do you expect from voters?
Probably not. "Idiocy" is a clinical mental condition. I'm reasonably sure most of these respondents were not mentally challenged.
Rather this is our actual mindset now: When in doubt bomb them. If the country cannot be found on a map of North America, bomb them. If the city name is hard to pronounce, WTF bomb them too. Bomb them all and let God sort out the good from the bad.
The next President of the United States is gonna have a free reign to do the fuck whatever he/she wants. Foreign policy be damned. The MiC will get richer and the entire world will edge a bit (maybe, a lot) closer to WW3.
Hell ya, bomb Disney!
dont worry they are fictional
and once agrabablas war is over they will go back to their country <-lol
I still think they would qualify for something, they all do.
"Prince Ali, the refugee, merely Aladdin..."
How about a video of the real world? Like an ISIS school room full of 12 year old boys being led by a teacher - shouting "Death to America"?
I bet those isis schools don't allow Christmas tree either.
Neither do far left-wing, progressive, PC Brooklynites:
Brooklyn principal bans Christmas, Santa & Thanksgiving from schoolhttps://www.rt.com/usa/325935-brooklyn-school-christmas-ban/
So, Easter is still OK ?
"The strength, the greatness of America has been built from our amazing diversity." wrote one poster.
Unfortunatley, while he rightly disagrees with the Principal's decision, his reasoning is flawed, in too many areas to even list here, not to mention supreme ignorance...
And what if there isn't such a scene to record?
Go ahead and imagine there is, it's fine. But keep in mind, this has always been about perception management.
It's the not sure group that bothers me.
If you're going to bomb cartoons at least be assertive about it.
Maybe trump is what the US genuinely needs, instead of someone's relative who's entitled to the presidency FFS.
I would bomb the fuck out of Agrabah, and dont get me started on Narnia.
We've been soft on Narnia way too long.
Aslan must go!
I support bombing a fictional city. It sure is a hell of a lot better than dropping bombs on real people. And think of how many jobs it will create rebuilding fictional cities for us to bomb again later.
Doc, is this in any way like the fictional mass shootings & bombings, like Sandy Hook, Boston and San Bernadino?
Hopeless
#'s seem low.
Change the name from Agrabah to where they live and see the poll change to zero support.
The Ethic of Reciprocity seems to have died in the USA, much like the Constitution.
Did you somehow miss the point that Agrabah doesn't even exist?
I know it doesn't exist, but if I were a supporter who lived in Bevery Hills and the name of the bombee town were changed to Beverly Hills I wouldn't support it, neither would the rest of Beverly Hills or other Americans.
To my way of thinking the people living in Beverly Hills are no different than people anywhere, except they may have more money.
Why wish a bombing on any city where 99% of casualities are civilians?
That is the problem with bombs. Go after killers for self defense purposes. Don't take out the people you say you are defending.
How about Burbank? Or Watts?
Is that where the Kardashians and Jenners live :)
Can hijacked magic carpets cause steel skyscrapers to collapse at near free fall speed?
Jesse says they can with the help of some thermite paint.
60% is a pass.....American Politicians : Fail

I moved to California right out of college. Everybody asked where I was from.
Nebraska I said.
Where is that? They said.
Just south of Maine. I said.
Not one person knew that I was joking.
WHAT ???
It's not a province of Canada ?
I was misinformed.
Maybe you had too small a sample size. Everyone in CA with any sense knows that Nebraska is smack in the middle of Nowhere.
south of Maine...
Being from California, I wouldn't have noticed the "e" in Maine and would've figured you came from the south side. I'm more surprised there were people who cared enough to ask.
They believe in light sabers too...
They are in tune to Obi Wan and the Great Farce...
The same republicans and democrats support ass to mouth. Make a Venn diagram of it. Perfectly overlapping circles.
I would bet that for both the bomb and not bomb group, the contraries still do not question what they're bombing. I support the president, but I think bombing Agrabah would just create more Agrabi terrorists - ain't nobody got time for that. I bet 60-70% of respondents could point to Agrabah on a map, not care the map said "Disney" on it. 75%
..maybe I’m turning into a peacnik or something...
I'm gettin REAL FUCKING TIRED of paying some assholes to kill other people, whether they're assholes or not.
I feel ZERO threat from any supposed terrorists...
welcome to my world
sadly I had to peel off the Ron Paul for President stickers from my car because they got worn out and started peeling - I loved driving around with an "I told you stupid motherfuckers so" sign on the bumper
An American is much more likely to be killed by a spouse than by a terrorist.
Many of us are gettin REAL FUCKING TIRED of assholes in big government using tax dollars to import Mooslims and turd world people into the U.S.
Many of us feel MAJOR threats from our big government assholes who terrorize U.S. citizens...
We're all just a bunch of chimps. Some more intelligent than other but chimps none the less.
Speak for yourself Cheetah.
I would support the US military bombing Disney Studios.
I would agree.
I know I should have taken the blue pill. Every damn time I watch a movie these days I see a facet of a sub plot of the progressives.
Why do you suppose that the fictional movie made by a bunch of jews portrays a bunch of muzzies with traditional American morals, values and behavior that we know are not true to life?
Guess I am just forever jaded.
It just exposes the education situation of the US population.
LOL. I'm sure PPP kept the questioning on the up and up.
Question used on R's: "With all the recent terror attacks, if the terrorists were based out of a city in the Mid East, like, say, that filthy cesspool Agrabah, would you support bombing it?
Question used on D's: "Should the city of Agrabah, made up for the Disney cartoon movie Aladdin, be bombed?" And 19% still said yes.
Lest we forget about Dirkadirkastan. There's currently a jihad being plotted on Bakkalakkadakka Street.
"A peace agreement with Agrabah limits our ability to bomb them." - John McCainus
How did they distinguish the difference. Two grunts for yes one for no and a quisical look whilst scratching the arse for a not sure?
God's sixth or seventh biggest mistake was letting that Noah character and his slutty daughters survive the Deluge.
Wait Noah's daughters were slutty too? Lot's daughters got him drunk and both screwed him, this after mom was turned to salt for disobeying orders from God.
And this crew were the only good ones worth saving from Sodom and Gomorrah! No wonder humanity is screwed...
the bottom half of the class speaks and you though t you were supposed to be afraid of ttttuuuurrrrrriiiiiissssssstttttttssss.
We Amerikans are simply dumbasses.
Disney should show an animated bombong of Agrabah by the tin man from the wizard of OZ before he got a brain. Then Aladdin could retaliate by dumping toxic nerve gas on OZ. Rated R for cartoon blood, guts. and despair.

=============================================
Pot’s not green.
The $3.5 billion U.S. cannabis market is emerging as one of the nation’s most power-hungry industries, with the 24-hour demands of thousands of indoor growing sites taxing aging electricity grids and unraveling hard-earned gains in energy conservation.
Without design standards or efficient equipment, the facilities in the 23 states where marijuana is legal are responsible for greenhouse-gas emissions almost equal to those of every car, home and business in New Hampshire. While reams of regulations cover everything from tracking individual plants to package labeling to advertising, they lack requirements to reduce energy waste.
Some operations have blown out transformers, resulting in fires. Others rely on pollution-belching diesel generators to avoid hooking into the grid

According to Bloomberg as well, Hitler smoked pot.
Therefore,
Pot smokers= Antisemitic eco terrorist polluting goyim
you really missed the point here. I guess you've been tokin' up on that $300/oz STATE LICENSED APPROVED and GROWN in a Corporate Warehouse sold to you by a Starbuck's-Like .....
Actually, the organic-vegan weed I buy is cheap. Legalization lowers the price to reality levels.
So basically, 20 bucks an eighth /150 an ounce and cheaper. Hell lots of people grow it themselves in Colorado. Imagine that! Freedom! Such a novel concept!
And when I went to Colorado you can see the weed they are growing for people and it's not 'mass wharehouses" of big corporations.
Sorry but that is just complete nonsense.
I bet your mother had Down syndrome.
Haha and Turkey is something you eat with Christmas.
That's why I don't believe in this shit we call "democracy" anymore, democracy is the lowest common denominator there is not such things as "rational voters" only mob rule...
Anybody got a list of those ghost cities in China??
Who says you can't know that the city is fictional and want to bomb it anyway?
That inspires a great idea... it would way way cheaper to bomb fictional cities than real ones and the only blowback would be another lame cartoon movie!
We have always been at war with Agrabah.
They hate us for our freedoms.
Just wondering what people are learning in schools today.

I've got an even better one.
I was talking about the Georgia/ Russia war with a co worker when another one of my fellow clock punchers accused me of being "full of shit".
he insisted that I made it all up and Russia did not invade Georgia in 2008, his reason being that if they had we would have seen it in the news, it would have been a very big deal and Washington would have nuked Moscow if they dared try to invade the US.
I'm not kidding here.
anyways after explaining that there was in fact a country named Georgia and it was involved in a war with Russia it got me wondering, so I took an informal poll and guess what?
everybody I asked about the topic thought I was talking about the state and thought I was making it up or was totally confused as to how they could not remember such a monumental event in American history.
yep.
all I could think to myself is this would make for a great Mark Dice video...
"where were you in 2008 when Russia invaded Georgia"?
hey, maybe we should ask people how they feel about bombing Agrabah's neighbor Mordoristan as well, I mean as long as we're in the neighborhood right?
Hahahaha, such dumb asses. It's going to to easy for them to cull the herd unfortunately.
What happens to any group, animals, plants, people when all means of natural selection is removed?
The genepool needs some bleach...
Statistically, 50% of all Americans are below median intelligence, and probably 9 out of 10 Americans will claim its a lie made up by the government.
What got lost in the poll was that 90% of respondents supported bombing Washington DC.
That really says nothing. 57% said not sure which means they would have liked to ask more question. (Such as where is this place.) The percentages that voted for or against would just be voting based on an already baked in proclivity for war or not for war.
That being said I guarantee the results are way different if you the place was referred to as "Aladdin" as of course the article immediately jumps to which is disingenuous at best.
In my view all this article has proven is how you pull the strings of.....Zerohedge readers. The new mob, albeit the one that thinks it's it in the know therefore in the right.
Republicans get that it's a joke.
That's the funny,see....
As always it's how u ask the question. If the question was reworded, President Obama has proposed we bomb Agrahbah do u support this yes or no? You'd find out how much "smarter" democrat voters really are.
To be honest I would be cool with bombing Agrabah too, I don't think you can seperate the dumb from the sarcastic with this poll.
But when you poll people and ask who wants to bomb Assad in Syria, then you get a real measure of ignorance. Or the millions who are eager to spend billions on bombing ISIS while ignoring the inconvenient fact that most terrorists came from European Muslim (self inflicted) ghettos.
I f we quit bombing all the other countries, I would agree to bomb Ahgraba. it's perfect -Republicans get to act tough, arms suppliers make their obscene profits, no one gets killed. I think it's a great alternative to what we have now.
these are not the m&m's you are looking for :)
