Look at it this way:<br /><br /><b>1. 33% don't believe Obama is a socialist.</b><br />Okay, I'll give you this one. 67% is damned high. But let's wait and see if these people turn down their Social Security checks when they hit retirement age. Or burn their library cards, and take their kids out of public schools.<br /><br /><b>2. 43% know that Obama is not a Muslim.</b><br />The opposing group live in the Bible Belt, I'm sure. Across the street from me.<br /><br /><b>3. 55% understand that Obama was born in the U.S.</b><br />The other camp hasn't yet addressed the issue of their candidate, John McCain, being born in Panama, which wasn't any part of the U.S. at the time. Hawaii is a state, for crying out loud.<br /><br /><b>4. 62% DON'T buy the Hitler card.</b><br />They attach that honor to George W. Bush and Dick Cheney.<br /><br /><b>5. 76% DON'T think Obama is the Antichrist.</b><br />They think the other 24% are just plain insane folks who still live in the dark ages.<br /><br />As for what we can do, I agree with kbxmas. We voted and the MAJORITY won. Don't forget that the news plays up the negativity, not the hope. Besides, I've done my time with my fist in the air; my arm got tired sometime in 1978.<br /><br />As for traveling oversees, I wouldn't condone doing it stoned. Foreign prisons are scary places. I just drink on the jet.<br /><br />;^)Kaye Wallerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06491607694389685973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804114935312811175.post-30950648135557375462010-03-30T16:17:48.161-04:002010-03-30T16:17:48.161-04:00If only we could load them all on a boat and ship ...If only we could load them all on a boat and ship them off somewhere, I don't know where, to a vast and unforgiving land at the other end of the world...Wanderlusthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12099758957492165428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804114935312811175.post-44875693943942352652010-03-30T12:47:48.142-04:002010-03-30T12:47:48.142-04:00Hey - travelling overseas without being stoned is ...Hey - travelling overseas without being stoned is a good start. And I know there is nothing you can do when people are this crazy.

The Daily Beast is a bit of a sensationalist rag (saying that, I haven't looked at the poll). Secondly, what exactly would you propose we do? We managed to elect a sane president (not an easy task mind you) and I'm not sure what good that has done other than allow me to travel overseas without being stoned.<br /><br />I would love to cede the South, think they would agree, have suggested it far and wide, but no one seems to be taking my suggestion seriously. I honestly don't know the cure for stupidity when, as with some unmanaged forms of mental illness, it eschews the very thing that would cure it.Wanderlusthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12099758957492165428noreply@blogger.com
