RSSThe Art of Stupid
Gene Lalor | March 31, 2010
Based on decades of observation, it’s long been my view that the dumbest people tend to call others stupid and when they really don’t grasp something the ungraspable is deemed even more stupid.
Two examples of those who have developed stupidity into an art form are Frank Rich and James Lovelock.
Frank Rich, irascible New York Times columnist and commentator on American politics and society, has over the years demonstrated a remarkably obvious disconnect with both.
Rich’s mindset is leftist, markedly so to the extent that he perceives all events which reflect the conservative viewpoint as being marks of the devil or of Adolph Hitler or both. His latest failure concerns the lividity, not the death pallor but the blanching fury of the majority of Americans toward the abomination of obamacare.
Rich, being smarter than the rest of us peons and much smarter than us Neanderthals who call ourselves conservatives, knows exactly why we opposed and still oppose the nation’s excursion into socialized medicine and the reason is not what normal people might think.
Nah, it’s not because we detest the idea of British and Canadian style rationed health care. It’s not because we believe we now have the greatest health care system on the planet. It’s not because we don’t want government bureaucrats calling the shots when our gall bladders act up and don’t look forward to 6 month waits to see a specialist.
Frank Rich understands what we don’t: It’s not Obamacare itself that we fear and detest but a black president, Barack Obama, a woman Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, and a powerful homosexual, Barney Frank: http://nyti.ms/bFpwU7
Oh, and Republican conservative politicians are also quaking in their boots over the Glenn Beck and the Tea Party activists, who just happen to be the last, best hopes for America’s survival as a democratic republic.
Frank Rich needs a reality check.
Another guy who needs to at least touch base with reality is the aged British climatologist, James Lovelock whose entire existence is so enmeshed with the disproven theory of anthropogenic-caused climate change that he would stroke out if he were proven wrong, which he has been.
Unlike Frank Rich who dances around his belief that all who disagree with him are stupido, the 90 year old Lovelock just comes out and says as much.
In a Guardian article titled: “James Lovelock: People Are Too Stupid to Prevent Climate Change,” he is quoted as saying, “I don’t think we’re yet evolved to the point where we’re clever enough to handle a complex a situation as climate change. The inertia of humans is so huge that you can’t really do anything meaningful.”
Translate that as meaning the average human bear isn’t as wise and comprehending as he so you can’t expect much.
Lovelock ignores recent evidence that global warming is poppycock and opts for an alternative to the human species wising up to his truth: ”I have a feeling that climate change may be an issue as severe as a war. It may be necessary to put democracy on hold for a while:” http://bit.ly/9GMoJ5
“Feelings,” (”Whoa, whoa, whoa”), is an outdated song, as outdated as Lovelock’s “feelings” on global warming and climate change and as outdated as his and Frank Rich’s opinions on us dolts.
