America is a very stupid country...

[kentuck]

There are some smart people but the nation as a whole is as dumb as a rock. How else could you explain so many people putting their faith in this bozo called the "president"? They think he is an expert on business and foreign affairs. Is there another word besides "stupid"? Unfortunately, it is not something a politician can say.

1. all i gotta say is

[eleonora]

2. religiously blinded

Most are Christians. Bushit gives the impression republican = Christian and there you have it. Not a single critical thought left in most americans.

[KharmaTrain]

3. "Comfort Factor"

The sheeple have been sold into the "comfort" of this good 'old boy. Remember, we all want to have a beer with him. The corporate media also tells us he speaks like us (:shudder:) and shares our values.

This is a packaging job that fools few but still is being rammed down our throats. Now, if you bought it, you get buyer's regret at your peril.

[AnnInLa]

15. Agree....bush is" big daddy"

It's all psychological for non-thinking sheeple. (If they are not going to think independently/analyze, then applying psychology to manipulate them will work every time.) America has been dumbing down for a generation now, and this is what we get.

[jokerman93]

4. substitute for "stupid"

I say "pig ignant".

American's have become pig ignant.

[glarius]

5. Bush needs to look deep into Jaafari's eyes.....Don't you think?

I mean...it worked with Putin, didn't it?.....What a complete farce!!!!!

[wideopen]

6. I'm afraid "stupid" is

the correct word. But you could probably substitute "ignorant" if you felt so compelled.

[anarch]

13. sadly, both "stupid" and "ignorant" are appropriate words n/t

[seabeyond]

7. husband told 7 and 10 year old last night, might not have to go to

school next year if perry doesnt get them money. at first they were jumping up and down. i asked oldest about sticker on my car about ignorance and who it behoves........

now they are demanding hteir right for education

just lmao here

[iconoclastic cat]

14. I haven't heard this story before!

What's the situation? Is your district going bankrupt or something?

[Ishoutandscream2]

24. No, Perry vetoed education bill and called a special session

to work out the differences that the house and senate had in not passing their versions of education funding. If the house and senate can't reach agreement in the short time left, then schools won't have funding for the 05/06 school year. Thus, a delay in opening schools.

Perry is a damned idiot.

[tk2kewl]

8. many are just too lazy to do their own thinking

[BlueEyedSon]

MSM takes much blame too: Garbage In, Garbage Out.

[BiggJawn]

9. You get that feeling too?

But aren't you joining with the other 22,000,000 Sheep in joining the Divine Miss Oprah's call to boycot that Frenchie store "Hermes"? :sarcasm:

And there we have it. Proof that Murka is almost too damn stupid to breathe...

[Verve]

10. When Americans care more and know more about Micheal Jackson+ Tom Cruise

than they do our country's current policies it becomes a no brainer. ALOT OF STUPID PEOPLE LIVE IN THIS COUNTRY!

We are in a state of war for godsakes, and many people are more interested in hearing about what American Idol contestants are up to rather than what our soldiers doing. Now, that's a disgrace.

[The Sleeper]

11. Stop Calling them Stupid !!!

I still have a truckload of Snake Oil to get rid of !

[Verve]

16. LOL! You're going to be a rich man! n/t

[Tux]

12. More like willfully ignorant

Most Amerericans never developed critical thinking skills. They have plenty of reasons not to: Christianity is based on faith alone, media tells them things are too complex for them so media will do the thinking for them, and schools are a battleground for different groups who want different things that result in lack of critical thinking skills being taught to make the different groups happy.

Most Americans do need to wake their brains and use them for once.

[CitrusLib]

17. Bingo.

[loudestchick]

21. I use that phrase often. Nothing offends me like willfull ignorance!

[Im_Your_Huckleberry]

20. stupid is as stupid does.

[stevans_41902]

22. 22,000,000 million americans are boycotting hermes b/c of oprah??

most of those morans couldn't even AFFORD a Hermes bag, so how in the hell are they boycotting them? Why does she expect them to treat her better than any other customer? Oh yeah, because most Americans kiss her ass and treat her like royalty.

[Verve]

23. Maybe because she's worth a billion dollars.

I guess money talks.

[guardian]

25. Only 51% stupid

The rest didn't vote for *.

Probably only 49% stupid. Because the election was stolen in Ohio by the repugs. I'll never believe he won the election. It was stolen! TWICE!

[hiphopnation]

26. replace "America" with any country in the world

and you've described the population of almost all countries. PEOPLE are frightened, suspicious, easily-manipulated, needlessly-traditional, irrational, etc. The syndrome isn't specific to one nation-state...

[FrankBooth]

27. Exactly

America has not cornered the market on stupidity, unfortunately.

[Karenina]

28. And THAT is exactly why
