[AGL] Why Amerikans vote for the GOP

[Wayne Johnson]

Dumb people do dumb things.

Add Geography to the growing list of major intellectual non-events in the life of Young Americans.  [Critical thinking?  I didn't know criticals could think?  Aren't criticals just black grasshoppers?]

How can there be truly "free" elections when the voters don't know their ass from a hot rock.  Geography?  D'oh!  History? D'oh!  Politics? D'oh, D'oh!  [Hey, he sounds like my old man, I will vote for him.  Oh, wasn't she on ER? I will vote for her.]

I mean like the really Important Things are like in the Mall, dude.  Chill out.

------------------------------------------

a.. Thirty-three percent of respondents couldn't pinpoint Louisiana on a map. [I wonder how many people in LA can find their own state on the map.  Or for that matter Texas.]

a.. Fewer than three in 10 think it important to know the locations of countries in the news and just 14 percent believe speaking another language is a necessary skill.  [No wonder some people thought the Sandanistas were going to invade El Paso.]

a.. Two-thirds didn't know that the earthquake that killed 70,000 people in October 2005 occurred in Pakistan. 

a.. Six in 10 could not find Iraq on a map of the Middle East.  [My brother just got killed somewhere, dude.  Hey, is that an Xbox?]

a.. Forty-seven percent could not find the Indian subcontinent on a map of Asia. [Bombay isn't if Florida?]

a.. Seventy-five percent were unable to locate Israel on a map of the Middle East. [Drive due East from Gibraltar.  Oh, where is Gibraltar?]

a.. Nearly three-quarters incorrectly named English as the most widely spoken native language. [Spanglish?]

a.. Six in 10 did not know the border between North and South Korea is the most heavily fortified in the world. [Korea?  Isn't that in South America somewhere?  Oh, cool shoes, bro'!]

a.. Thirty percent thought the most heavily fortified border was between the United States and Mexico. [Well, this will likely happen soon if the Minutemen and other patriotic racists get their way.]
