The Daily Show nails it, again.September 4, 2008 - 12:14pm
Double standards galore. Attack Obama for lacking experience and defend Palin for the same. Attack teenage mothers for their “bad decisions” and then defend one of their own as a “personal matter”. It scares me that there are such large numbers of people that think that the people of America are this fucking stupid. It scares me even more that people really are stupid enough to keep voting them in. Which is to say: it’s offensive that they presume America is stupid enough not to see this, but it’s more offensive that they’re mostly right. “Tradition means giving votes to the most obscure of all classes, our ancestors. It is the democracy of the dead. Tradition refuses to submit to the small and arrogant oligarchy of those who merely happen to be walking about. All democrats object to men being disqualified by the accident of birth; tradition objects to their being disqualified by the accident of death . . . I, at any rate, cannot separate the two ideas of democracy and tradition; it seems evident to me that they are the same idea.” — Orthodoxy, Garden City, NY: Doubleday Image, 1908, 48 – G. K. Chesterton |
