If a nation expects to be ignorant and free in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be.

– Thomas Jefferson

Liberty cannot be preserved without a general knowledge among the people, who have a right, from the frame of their nature, to knowledge, as their great Creator, who does nothing in vain, has given them understandings, and a desire to know; but besides this, they have a right, an indisputable, unalienable, indefeasible, divine right to that most dreaded and envied kind of knowledge, I mean, of the characters and conduct of their rulers. Rulers are no more than attorneys, agents, and trustees, of the people; and if the cause, the interest, and trust, is insidiously betrayed, or wantonly trifled away, the people have a right to revoke the authority that they themselves have deputed, and to constitute other and better agents, attorneys and trustees.

– John Adams

Something that is often overlooked in our indictment of the corrupt status quo, is that one of the main reasons crony politicians and rapacious multinational corporations are able to so seamlessly pull off their unethical schemes is that a large percentage of the voting public is little more than a mass of ignorant zombies.

Proof of just how dangerous this ignorant mob can be was perfectly illustrated by a recent Public Policy poll which showed 30% of Republicans and 19% of Democrats support bombing Agrabah, the invented city from the animated Disney movie Aladdin.

Ladies and gentleman, I introduce to you the American primary voter.

From the Guardian:

Almost one-third of Republican primary voters would support bombing the fictional kingdom of Agrabah, according to a report released by Public Policy Polling on Friday. 

More than 530 Republican primary voters were polled this week on their support for Republican candidates and foreign policy issues including banning Muslims from entering the US, Japanese internment camps from the second world war and bombing Agrabah, the kingdom from Disney’s animated classic, Aladdin.

In its poll, Public Policy Polling asked the 532 Republicans: “Would you support or oppose bombing Agrabah?” While 57% of responders said they were not sure, 30% said they supported bombing it. Only 13% opposed it. 

Public Policy Polling also polled Democratic primary voters: only 19% of them said they would support bombing Agrabah, while 36% said they would oppose it.

According to the PPP, “[Donald] Trump is at 45% with Republicans who want to bomb Aladdin and only 22% with ones who don’t want to bomb Aladdin.”

One in four of those polled by the PPP said that Islam should be illegal in the US and that they support the US policy of Japanese internment during the second world war.

What First Amendment?

And you wonder why things are the way they are. These are the people who will choose the Presidential nominees for each corrupt political party.

  1. The ignorance has reached cosmic proportions. Most don’t care, and of those who do, the stupidity and emotion-driven “thinking” is breathtaking.

    I completely reject the notion that I must live under laws enacted by a government legitimized by complete morons. I have ZERO moral obligation to follow those with IQs that track room temperature just because they get together and decide to amalgamate their flawed intellection.

    I assume more and more people who actually can think their way through problems will come to the same conclusion and just go their own way. I have been moving in that direction more and more, with more comfort, over the past two years. It is simple self defense.

  2. “I completely reject the notion that I must live under laws enacted by a government legitimized by complete morons.”

    Absolutely.

    The country is only as good as it’s people. As blitzkrieg Mike puts it “a large percentage of the voting public is little more than a mass of ignorant zombies.”

    If that’s the case, can someone please tell me what is worth “saving” in this country? Certainly not a bunch of walking talking program implanted zombie automatons.

    • I suspect many of us are asking that very question. Certainly, all of us are somewhat un-knowledgeable, since it would be impossible for any one of us to stay on top of all going on in the political realm, however, we seem to be saddled with so many that don’t even care. At this point in the decline of the country, many of us still hope for a miracle but fear that it’s too late in the downward spiral. God help us all.

  3. The miracle will be when enough human beings of every color, political and religious–or irreligious–stripe decide that trying to hand future generations a better life is worth whatever sacrifice has to be made. When that sea-change happens, there is no predicting what we will see.

    The fundamental question deserves to be raised, debated and logically resolved: Why should a person be subject to laws and circumstances invoked by a majority of people who are criminally deficient in their political understanding and generally incompetent to decide their own affairs let alone mine? Once past that obstacle the sky is the limit for us.

  4. I totally support bombing Agrabah BECAUSE it’s from Aladdin. Additionally, Barney is a dangerous genetic menace, and will be droned.

    The Smurfs, I would outright nuke.

    My Little Pony is exempt from the target list only because of that brilliant “=” episode.

  5. Let me see if I understand this correctly. You all claim that public education is helping your kids so you’re sending them to that industrial prison camp, and because it was so helpful to your own selves, and then you turn around claim that people are stupid?

    No, no…it’s simple indoctrination people, the same used by all totalitarian systems, only your own totalitarian system isn’t making your child wear an armband and march down the street while wearing a prized dagger, but it’s all the same only less visible because just like the parents of that epoch of time you too believe the lies they tell.

    People aren’t stupid, sure they could be a lot smarter and a lot more improved, but it isn’t a problem of genetics. It’s a problem of rulership.
    It’s how people are raised, what they are told is valuable, what their propaganda systems claim are important, and so on.

    As for bombing Aladdin I’m all in on that one. Disney is among the worst of the story telling liars around, right up there with broadcast media. Maybe worse.
