Dumb and Arrogant? Yep.

I wonder what right wingers think about when they read articles like this one by Susan Jacoby which discusses that Americans are not just getting dumber but are arrogant about the fact.

It goes along way to explaining why America is beginning to be surpassed in the world. Too many people who believe in Free Trade without thinking about what it really means. And it certainly isn't open trade borders on our side while other countries protect their own markets.

Global Warming denial.....
Sub-Prime Mortgage crisis....
Iraq & Afghanistan...

These and many other problems caused by people who have a one size fits all ideological approach to every problem in the world and ofcourse George W. Bush is the ultimate poster child for this. Remember in 2000 when it didn't matter that the man who was to become President didn't give a rats ass about anything that happened outside of Texas?

Free Trade = Fair Trade :)

The globe may be getting warming (not since 1998 though :( but man most certainly has a very minor role in it ...

I thought America was getting more Liberal ? Does that correlate ? More Liberal = Dumber / More Arrogant ...

Could be ... :)
