Today I pulled up behind a big black SUV (in retrospect, probably American made) with 2 bumper stickers. The sticker on the left said “OBAMA”. The one on the right said “SUCKS”. I was so dumbfounded that someone would stick anything on their nice new looking vehicle - I mean, what are they going to do with it after November? Throw the whole thing away and buy a new pick-em-up truck? I was equally dumbfounded that someone would slap these things on their vehicle and drive around town with them where people these days could just pull up next to the guy and “put a cap in his ass”, as it were.
Of course the more I think about it, the more sense it makes. “Obama Sucks” is about the stupidest political statement you could make. It’s a fairly unreasoned argument for one thing. Only an idiot would blurt out such a comment without corroborating evidence. So, clearly, the guy is an idiot. Every once in a while, I forget my own wisdom that explains all idiotic behavior: If they could get a clue, they already would have.
Initially, I gave the guy the benefit of the doubt, like the stickers were some inside joke I wasn’t aware of, because it was so over-the-top. I thought he had to be kidding, right? I came home and Googled “Obama Sucks Bumper Sticker”. Well, that was a mistake. It just exposed me to many many other idiots that I’d just as soon not know exist: and not just the racists, but the dummies with keyboards sans 3rd grade English. I get all worked up when I see such ignorant vitriol and I want to go out and shoot every one of them. I can’t seem to get past the seething hatred I have for such people, I can’t dig down deep and conjure up any sympathy for these bastards. They are the reason for everything that is wrong in this world. And they must die.
If I were king, I would paint everyone purple, enforce a dress code of Spandex burlap (that’s breathable, of course, for those really sweltering summer days), and divert all space exploration funds into inventing a lie-proof lie detector so we would never need juries, or Death Rows, or anything else that just wastes everyone’s time and money because of people’s lies. God I hate politics!
Oops! Gotta go. O’Reilly’s on.
