Super Stupid

Posted on 03/13/2009 at 12:25 pm by JumpyPants

This Pajamas Media video about “going Galt” is remarkably silly (jump to the halfway mark to be totally amazed by stupidity). Do these wingnuts realize the full scope of what Ayn Rand was all about? In numerous ways, to embrace Rand’s objectivism is to reject modern conservatism. Begin with her embrace of science and rejection of religion and go from there. (Here’s “going Galt” leader Michelle Malkin calling for atheists to be mocked. Rand was an atheist.)

But that’s not the silliest aspect of “going Galt.” After eight years of vocally supporting Bush Republican policies involving unprecedented government growth and executive power, suddenly the wingnuts are all about freedom from government tyranny? That’s hilarious.

Malkin, who is very religious by the way, has been a loud opponent of the ACLU and supporter of domestic surveillance — very un-Galt and un-Rand of her. This is a lady who referred to “moonbat” protests as “criminal anti-war thuggery.”

    Maybe Malkin should have read the book and not just the title.

    Dr. Helen??? Where do you get a Doctorate in Lunacy? I want one of those.I didn’t think you could cram that much stupidity so closely together without it reaching critical mass and imploding into an infinite improbability perceptual vortex.If Malkin continues her present course, expect her to disappear in a puff of logic.Orange CA, the wingnutia capital of the known universe.

    Malkin is phony, no argument, but there are a good number of conservatives who have come to realize that forcing fundamentalist religious beliefs and anti-civil liberty positions on others are a lot of what was wrong with the Bush administration (not to mention huge deficit spending and the invading of Iraq).There is a large group of conservatives who stopped supporting Bush’s policies over the course of his eight years, so it isn’t just a recent phenomenon. Conservatives can learn and can truly change.

    Well, thanks Bob. I made about 20 seconds into that Fox & Friends video, and now I have to bang my head against something large and solid for half an hour.

    A large group? Such as? Not counting the Shunfest that was the election, in which every Republican treated Bush like he had a syphilitic cock growing out of his forehead, who exactly made up this flock of moderate conservatives that got their change on?

    “A large group? Such as? Not counting the Shunfest that was the election, in which every Republican treated Bush like he had a syphilitic cock growing out of his forehead, who exactly made up this flock of moderate conservatives that got their change on?”It all depends on how you interpret “large”, I guess, but my viewpoint is that many conservative-leaning independents and young, conservative voters chose to vote for Obama, because they saw Bush’s failures and his Republican Party to contain a bunch of set-in-their-ways religious fundamentalist imbeciles, and that we needed a break from that.We don’t have the numbers on how many people wrote-in Ron Paul in most states, but if you could add those up, plus the Libertarian Party and Constitution Party votes, along with the larger set of conservatives and independents who voted for Obama, it is a substantial group that cost McCain in multiple states, some in the South for the first time.When you have people like Francis Fukuyama, Christopher Buckley, and Andrew Bacevich voting for Obama and publicly expressing it, it isn’t just politics anymore, it is a fundamental realization that the Bush administration failed at implementing conservative principles, and isn’t playing politics.I’m not saying all Bush-bashing conservatives had an epiphany, because there are a group in Congress that just distanced themselves from Bush for political gain, but there are also those who have truly changed their viewpoints.
