Stupidity...

Because you just can't claim it's ignorance anymore...

Love how Palin-ites keep saying that we know "nothing about the real world" or "just don't get it," or "all Palin speaks is the truth!!!"  Cute, really. It's things like this, and other groupthink, and cruelty, and stupidity that make it so embarrassing to say we're the same species...

A longer, more serious post will follow, as I'm too busy enjoying tearing her latest "argument" apart with some lovely math and statistics. Lots of fun research... (This regarding her latest FB note stating that environmentalists are the "nonsensical hypocrites" to blame for the BP spill because we're so busy protecting the earth from humans' destructive practices that we outsource jobs and therefore make drilling dangerous. Her words, not mine, straight from her Facebook page. "Some of these countries don’t care for planet earth like we do – as evidenced by our stricter environmental standards." Uh-huh... that doesn't sound hypocritical at all right there. If caring for the earth is so horrible, why are you praising the"stricter environmental standards" that you're trying to overturn in a federally protected wildlife refuge? Apparently it's our fault that the deregulated oil companies outsource jobs overseas to get around our "strict environmental standards" for drilling in international waters and ignore federal laws regarding safety and financial responsibility, including what they pay in taxes. Apparently we just sit around and lie about how dangerous and destructive drilling is, and apparently this whole BP blip on the charts is just an example of that. "...your protests and lawsuits and lies about onshore and shallow water drilling have locked up safer areas. It’s catching up with you. The tragic, unprecedented deep water Gulf oil spill proves it." Whoops, silly us, Ms. Palin. Wow, we had no idea drilling was so not-dangerous... We're so sorry!!! Just think what would have happened if the BP rig was in shallow water! Maybe in water, say, 160 ft deep? Because it's never happened before, has it?? Maybe twice as many pelicans would have died! How well you meat-eaters would eat! Oops. Oh well, maybe precedent will work for BP and they'll claim sovereign immunity... Where were they based again? [sigh] And here we thought deep water out in the middle of one of the biggest fishing regions in the country was the safest place to bore a giant hole in the Earth's crust and see what comes out so we could pour it on a few pelicans and dance around as it makes teh prety colers in teh waterz. Oh wait, no we didn't. You did. But I guess our "nonsensical" desire to develop more safe, clean alternative energy sources that would create non-outsource-able jobs in America and free us almost entirely from our dependency on fossil fuels is just too hypocritical of us. We should totally just move that messy little spill onto land. It couldn't do any harm whatsoever... Guess you caught us on that one! No, we just want to make America... oh, what was it you said? "...Less prosperous on a dirtier planet." Because you're just so right, Ms. Palin-- "There’s nothing clean and green about your misguided, nonsensical radicalism, and Americans are on to you as we question your true motives." True motives? We're tree-huggers! We wear our flowery little hearts on our hemp ankle bracelets, just above the dolphin henna tattoo! What need is there for ulterior motives? We're too hopped up on pot!)

This might take a while. "Now do you get it?" Yes, m'am, we do get it. You are a complete idiot.
