Stupid Quote Man
Have you ever run across something so absolutely stupid it takes you a moment to process someone actually said it? Well, it happened to me recently while surfing the internet, a place known for its stunning intellect, and I was going to just let it go, that is until someone agreed with the stupidity, and I realized I have a public forum to point out brains that function more like squeaky hamster wheels and a moral imperative to do so. Tut, tut, it feels like rain. Do not rain on my moral high ground. The moral imperative may simply be an excuse to obliterate the wobbly little thoughts of people who should aspire to the mental acuity of, let’s say, a dromedary, but instead exhibit mental processing ‘skills’ more akin to the camel’s salivary habits. Yes, it may be a ruse, a flimsy excuse to do what I enjoy, and therefore illustrates my own shortcomings. I don’t care, tut, tut, I will open my umbrella and unleash upon this quackery called thought nonetheless. Rain, if you will, but keep reading because this is where it gets real, and by real I mean, “Holy cow, somebody said that?”, “I’ve met statues smarter,” and “I’ve eaten hamburgers with more logical capacity” kind of real.
First, I need to point out this is not a political statement. I don’t care what your political leanings nor do mine play in the matter. I say this because the statement was concerning our President and everyone wants to make things political. The statement was in response to someone questioning the President’s most recent vacation. (For the record, in today’s age of instant communication, you could solve world peace on the ninth green of Augusta using Skype, so I don’t care where he is as long as he picks up that red phone the important calls come in on.)
So here it goes, and I quote, “How dare you criticize a President who solved the greatest economic crisis of all time and ended two wars including the most disastrous war in human history.” Now remember, someone agreed with this.
For the love of all things coherent, where does one even start tearing this apart? Let’s just begin with, “solving the greatest economic crisis of all time.” I suppose most of you have heard of the Great Depression? Apparently there is one in this fellow’s head. And as for the word ‘solved’, unemployment, debt, and tax issues might indicate the word is, well, premature. I suspect the President himself would find that choice of words somewhat amusing, at least in that, “Oh, look at the dumb puppy, it’s following me and begging for more even though I just fed it its own waste,” sort of way. Let me point out I’m not saying the President would actually say that about puppies or, for that matter, feed them their own waste. He’s the leader of the free world, for goodness sake. He has people who do this kind of thing for him. I’m just saying he would find it funny. The guy has to have a great sense of humor. He lives in Washington, D.C. after all. (Those with hamster brains, please note – being mean to actual puppies, including but not limited to feeding them inappropriate items is illegal, immoral, could result in eternal damnation, and will likely make the President very, very mad. Don’t do it!)
Then there is this whole war thing. While there are soldiers who might dispute the use of the word ‘ended’, that is not what disturbed me most. It’s the ‘most disastrous’ part I’m having trouble with. Perhaps Mr. Dullard was unfamiliar with the two world wars within the last 100 years. Charging machine guns as mustard gas fills the air is kinda disastrous. There is a reason they put that ‘world’ tag on it, you know. A lot of people involved and a lot died. Then the second one, we can’t overlook it either. Genocide, carpet bombings, atomic explosions, the whole world choosing sides, well, you get the picture. Some would consider that a wee bit disastrous.
So in summation, Mr. Quote Man, your comments in my opinion are stupid. I know, it’s not eloquent, but it’s the best I can do holding this umbrella and trying not to slip off the high moral ground. Tut, tut.
