They lie, or they are wrong, or they lie because they were wrong. Why don’t you bother to check? Or does it matter? @ 05.31.2012
I wonder, is there any limit to the devotion we have to all those wonderfully popular people? @ 05.31.2012
It’s painful to learn that someone you adore is really an a$$hole, but is it not usually self-inflicted pain? @ 05.31.2012
Popularity should not precede trust, or assume dissimilar competence, and if it earns these titles, it should still be checked on. @ 05.31.2012
When we elect a president who is ugly as sin, & utterly unlikable, yet humbly & faithfully executes his Constitutional duty, we’ve arrived. @ 05.31.2012

Obama called Romney to congratulate him… according to SWAT team source. :] @ 05.30.2012

I have no desire to govern men, which seems a chore, and no want to rule them, which is plain immoral. @ 05.30.2012

Manipulative, institutionalized chaos has swallowed up the beautiful chaos of liberty. @ 05.30.2012
Men are frozen, slaves to the arbitrary complexity of the state. @ 05.30.2012
Most are oblivious to it all, being trained and reared thus, and blissfully wait for the next order of their humanity from the glowing. @ 05.30.2012
Of those who see it, some care not, and others, seeking to know, are drowned by convolution, even if it is their craft. @ 05.30.2012

If you ever needed a reason NOT to be a LIBERAL, this Chris Hayes idiot at msnbc is IT. @ 05.28.2012

Remembering the Fallen, & that Liberty has never been free, & that we owe Them a respect for it. #MemorialDay @ 05.28.2012

Ignorance… Stupid

Have you ever stopped to think how truly stupid you are! Really, look in the mirror, and you will find the greatest example of idiocy known to man. And if you think ignorance equals stupidity, then I’ve proven my point.

Ignorance is unawareness, unfamiliarity, obliviousness. It is the lack of knowledge… of something specific. Stupidity, like yours, is foolishness, inanity, futility, absurdity. Stupidity is the lack of intelligence, that is, the lack of common sense and the ability to reason. Textbook you.

Ignorance, is textbook all-of-us. Every day, I am reminded of my own ignorance, and if I were to ignore it, or think it nonexistent, or claim I am incapable of it, or attempt to hide it, well, that would not only make me stupid, like you, but it would also make me a liar, like you.

So let me just say that I am not ignorant of the reality of my own ignorance, nor am I ignorant of the true ignorance of everybody else, and with this knowledge of shared ignorance, I will at first strive to become less ignorant than I am, and second I will guard myself against the idiocy of ignored ignorance that is inherent in people like you.

If ignorance is bliss, and ignorance dismissed, then this is remiss, and knowledge is missed… and you’re stupid.

Your idiocy is only useful when you are ignorant of its purpose.

Enlightened, less ignorant. ~tdv

For security and amusement, consider every thing a mirage, every truth untrue, given you by error or malice, inquire which and why.
