Restore Nothing

Thanks Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert - for something.

"Restoring sanity" is a tougher thing to accomplish than one might assume.



This video is interesting because, for me, it lays to rest once and for all that only the Tea Party are policy illiterate. In fact, these sorts of things are nothing but a conglomeration of people who are attracted to a general attitude. Among them, you'll always find idiots. The trick is to get the general overall "sense" of things.

It's interesting to see that Stewart/Colbert attract a mostly liberal, youngish crowd.

Judging from the video, is this the sort of folk expected to "restore sanity?" If so...the tasmanian devil is on the loose and unless you're Bugs, run.

As some of you know, the one thing in the liberal-conservative dichotomy that grates me incessantly is how liberals actually claim to be awesome critical thinkers. Huffington Post likes to delude itself with self-assuaging flatulence along those kines. Somehow they're the torch carriers of our Enlightenment heritage.

Pish posh.

Not to use this video to disparage an ideology, but can anyone debunk the fact that the financially-challenged kid at the 5:20 minute mark talking about the need to spend money to fix things represents the general liberal outlook?

It's a total breakdown of basic knowledge of finance.

Other things that I still don't get:

-The idea that liberal democrats are "weak" and that's why their ideas never see the light of day. Sorta like the "the wrong people implemented communism" routine. The older I get (and it remains to be seen if wisdom is growing along with it) the more I lose patience with this position.

-Which leads me into the bizarre belief that liberals "can't do anything because of the party of no" when in fact, they have total control in Washington.

-Love that the interviewer called out the guy with the "Good Rush-Bad Rush" t-shirt. Specifically, about Rush being fans of Ayn Rand. Deer. Headlights.

-Liberals are just as libel to be ignorant of issues as The Party. One believes in spending restrictions, the other in no spending limits looks like. Maybe with some regional accents to differentiate them.

-No liberals, "science is not on your fucking side." Science is, well, science.

-A friend of mine once told me he believed "smart" people watch Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert. So much for that.
