Let's go back to your original post.
I think Republicans have very selective vision these days. That goes along with the low IQ's. Which btw is not a slam, it's a fact that Democrats have higher IQ's generally.

I responded by asking you for your support for that statement.

To which you replied,
Support for that statement? Observation!! Every republican recites what they hear on the news and none of them seem to be able to think for themselves. Any argument disproving the propaganda they recite meets with more recited propaganda. Original thought seems to scare the hell out of them and they want that to stop right away! They have no concept of what losing civil liberties means since they seem to think they don't need them. Observation shows me that the smarter the person I am talking to is, the less they like GW.

So, when all is said and done, this is your opinion. Your evidence, at best, is anecdotal. Frankly, I find it rather stunning that you say every republican recites what they hear on the news. Pretty sweeping generalization isn't it Sidney? Maybe your circle of acquaintances is limited and you don't know many republicans, which brings to mind the remarks of Pauline Kael after Reagan's victory. She said, and I'm paraphrasing here, "I can't believe he was elected, I don't know anyone who voted for him."
You might want to refrain from making such sweeping generalizations. At least 51,000,000 Americans appear to think otherwise.
In response to a post from Buschman, you said, among other things,
The sheer stupidity of what some people think has forced me to resort to sarcasm. So excuse me!! These are perilous times in the US. A would be "savior", GW, is fooling the people into accepting a police state and morons and imbeciles are enabling him to do it.

I asked this of another poster the other day, and didn't receive a response, but I'll ask you here, what civil rights have you, personally, lost under the current administration? Is there any place you have wanted to go that you have been prrevented from visiting? Is there anything you have cared to say that you have been prevented from saying? Has your house, car or place of work been searched? In short, Sidney, what police state are you talking about?
It would appear that 51,000,000 Americans do not share your views or concerns, so is each and every one of those people a moron and imbecile?
(aside: the terms "moron" and "imbecile" have specific meanings. A "moron" is defined as A person of mild mental retardation having a mental age of from 7 to 12 years and generally having communication and social skills enabling some degree of academic or vocational education. The term belongs to a classification system no longer in use and is now considered offensive.
OTOH, an "imbecile" is a person of moderate to severe mental retardation having a mental age of from three to seven years and generally being capable of some degree of communication and performance of simple tasks under supervision. The term belongs to a classification system no longer in use and is now considered offensive.
Thus, a moron has a greater mental age than an imbecile. The terms are not interchangeable, and you might not want to use them as if the were. |
