Too Stupid to be a Democracy

Commentary By Ron Beasley

When the United States falls it will be because it's population is simply not up to critical thought - too stupid.  Headlines like this would lead one to believe the end is not too far away.

Sarah Palin: 'We'll see' about run with Glenn Beck

What is it about Sarah Palin is it that her cultist supporters like?  It's not policy!

Chase Whitestead and Erick Stroll of "New Left Media" set out to determine just what was it about Sarah Palin that impelled her supporters to stand in massive lines for hours for the chance to meet her at book signings.

They interviewed several of her supporters who were waiting in line at a Borders bookstore in Columbus, Ohio. These fans expressed very strong support for Palin, but it was mostly couched in vague generalities about her being "real" and "strong" and "fair."

When pressed to cite specific policies that they favored or thought qualified her for the presidency, most of her fans struggled to come up with anything other than generic lines about cutting taxes and spending and the Palin staple: "drill, baby, drill."

On the other hand, they were all worried that President Obama has been doing enormous damage to the country. However, again, specifics eluded them.

So what do they like about her?  She's just as dumb as they are.
