For crying out loud Herman, there are 196 countries in the world.
Would it be too much to ask that you memorized the names of those countries and their leaders if you expect to be the leader of the free world?
I hear them speak, one by one deride, belittle and ridicule academic excellence, knowledge, facts and scientific research. One after another comes out celebrating their ignorance. This is the sad truth about what the Republican Party has become: a refuge for high school dropouts and intellectually challenged leaders.
It started with George W. Bush lack of interest in anything intellectual and his opposition to science. It was alarming to see our President discard scientific research and embrace a folksy negative attitude towards any scientific endeavors.
When I heard candidate Cain utter that stupid “Ubeki-beki-beki-beki-beki-stan-stan” crap it made me realize that blissful ignorance can be dangerous, especially on the foreign front. When Cain insists that it’s not important to know who the leader of Uzbekistan is (or, as he mockingly pronounces it, “Ubeki-beki-beki-beki-stan-stan”), he comes off as clueless about the strategic importance of that nation. Even intellectually challenged George W. Bush wanted to use an air base in Uzbekistan to resupply U.S. troops in Afghanistan; Barack Obama has sought to curry favor with Uzbekistan so that America will have a better regional ally than Pakistan. Does Cain know any of that?
Did Cain even gave it a second thought that preposterous “9-9-9” economic plan that may have very well have been drawn on a napkin in a pizza place by some idiot accountant from the Midwest would totally bankrupt the country?.
I found Sarah Palin’s rejection of intellectual prowess terribly alarming when she played the victim of a “got you” question when asked what books she read…obviously she didn’t read any. Just like I find Rick Perry’s boasting of what a bad student he was in college. Now we have seen a video of Governor Perry making a disparate and erratic speech in New Hampshire…it is painful to watch.
Between you and me, I find it hard to vote for anybody who believes the world is only 6,000 years old and rejects evolution.
