EDUCATING THE IDIOTS

So, a leaked memo written for the liberal power-players within the state of Colorado by the nation-wide leftist organization called the “Democracy Alliance” has hit the newswires and in it, the strategy of a campaign to “Educate the Idiots" where they are to target "minorities, GED’s, drop-outs” has been revealed.

But really, is this anything new?

Isn’t the entire socialist mantra of the left a call out to the minorities, GEDs and drop-outs of our nation? The whole of the Obama platform is exactly that: “Don’t worry idiots, we’ll pay for you, support your kids, pay for your healthcare, increase your minimum wages, and if you fuck all that up, we’ll protect you from evil legislation like 3 Strikes if you go out and start committing crime!”

The uneducated masses have always been the central voting block of the left, mainly due to the knee-jerk response to leftist propaganda. When people are constantly telling you that if you vote for them, you’ll be taken care of and if you don’t, some rich white guy is going to put you on the street, you listen. And when you’re an idiot, you hear these messages over and over again both in the news and in pop-culture (music, tv and movies consistently tell you that there’s nothing more evil in the world than an old white man in a suit), you have no ability to think otherwise. For a moment, erase the majority of the common-sense you were so thankfully given and pretend you too are an idiot. Now, the left tells you this:

“Conservatives want to cut taxes for rich people and take away government programs that you rely on!”

And the Right tells you this:

“Conservatives want to cut all taxes, for the rich included because then more money is invested in business and our economy, increasing jobs, stimulating growth and innovation and improving our nation as a whole.”

Now, as an idiot, who are you more likely to vote for? The kneejerk reaction is to be wary of the conservative and to ignore their point because it requires foresight and is less immediately tangible.

The fact is, the liberal belief system is made up of a false standard of “fairness.” Ask any rich liberal about fairness and he’ll cry to you about the poor but then look at his tax returns and you’ll notice that the bullshitter gives less to charity than any of his conservative counterparts. He’ll cry to you about the inequities of the legal system and how minorities are unfairly profiled, but the bullshitter has never been in a bad neighborhood in his life where he didn’t lock the doors of his Volvo (if he’s ever been at all). The concept of the limousine liberal, crying for the masses from his penthouse condo is nothing new, of course, and this revelation that rich liberals have outright disdain for minorities, the poor and the uneducated shouldn’t be either. Their very policies are the way they are to keep the status quo in tact. Let’s be honest here, why is a liberal so against school choice? First, of course, there’s the fear of the minorities coming in to their kids’ schools and the horrors that would bring, but more importantly they are concerned with keeping the poor in failing public schools so they can keep “them” separate. Remember, it’s not about actually giving a hand up, it’s about giving a hand out. Who cares about teaching a man to fish, the man is poor and smells bad, just give him a fish and tell him to go away while feeling good about yourself for helping.

In a world where the soundbite is more important than the speech, the liberal ideology will always ring more true in the heart of the idiot. “You need a union so you can get paid more,” is much easier to understand than “If the union forces the company to pay you more, the company’s profit margin shrinks, less money is pumped in to the community in which you live, and the company can afford to hire less of your peers and you’re more likely to lose your job in any type of crisis.” Liberal stump speeches about “Free Healthcare!” are much more exciting than conservatives trying to explain why government-controlled healthcare will provide you with considerably less health and shockingly less care. When liberal politics are injected in to the mass media in the form of entertainment, who do you think that is reaching out to? Do you believe that more smart people or more idiots are watching Saturday Night Live? What concept do you think is more easily digested to an idiot: “War is not the answer” or “Peace through strength”? When Barack starts hollering about ending the war, the idiot instantly thinks “Oh, no war would be great!” They can’t really figure out how military action abroad keeps us safer at home. Why? Because they’re idiots, remember?

Conservatism is not knee jerk. It actually takes a bit of thought. It takes a bit of foresight. Most importantly, it takes a lot of faith in a person to be better. Liberalism is emotional. Liberalism is about what’s best for me right now. It’s about trying to solve a problem by throwing money at it as opposed to getting your hands dirty. Most importantly, liberalism believes in government more than people. It believes that people, especially the idiots, can’t possibly get along without the government’s help.

So I’m sure that this memo will get some newsplay on Drudge or talk radio for a day or so, but the MSM will never pick it up and it’ll just disappear. But does it really matter anyway? If it did get out there, liberals will just tell the idiots that the rich white man did it.
