Is it all over the world, or only in America, where the ignorant have open contempt for the intelligent? A documentarin wins an Academy Award for a film, or a statesman wins the Nobel Prize, and they are called fat stupid morons by people who cannot write a complete sentence or spell ten words in a row correctly. How did this happen? The ignorant and the stupid are proud of their status in society. They encounter a well-dressed, well-read person who speaks articulately, and their reaction is "He thinks he's so smart". The ignorant see the social viewpoint of the educated, experienced and mature, and then make it a point to advocate policy that is the exact opposite. Why are the foolish so proud of their foolishmess? The failures so pround of their lack of success?
So go to it. Type in your half-line response and punctuate it with an emoticon.
"The failures so pround of their lack of success"? This is not even a complete sentence.
Before you get on you high-horse, "I'm so full or myself", "I'm an intelligent person" rant - you should really check your grammar and learn how to write a complete sentence...

Bahh, no need to go after their grammar and spelling (that is a liberal tactic), the OP's content is enough to hang him. Best way to make a liberal look silly is to quote their words directly back to them, often they will deny ever saying them.
Very interested and very true. "Ignorance is bliss" is a common phrase, but I wouldn't go as far as saying it's something to be proud of. What is happening? Who's to blame? The media? bad schools? or just plain arrogance.
1) "There's an old saying in Tennessee -- I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee...that says, fool me once, shame on...shame on you. Fool me...you can't get fooled again. [9/17/2002]"
2) "A lame duck session, for people who don't know what that means, it means the Senate is coming and the House is coming back between now and Christmas and they've got a few days to get some big things done. [11/7/2002]"
3) "I was proud the other day when both Republicans and Democrats stood with me in the Rose Garden to announce their support for a clear statement of purpose, "You disarm, or we will." [10/5/2002]"
Proud to be ignorant?. Heck we even chose one to run our country!.

First of all, there are three misspelled words in the above.
Secondly, who are you calling "intelligent", that is receiving ridicule and scorn? You mention someone being called a "fat, stupid, moron". Sounds like a perfect description of Michael Moore, except that I wouldn't say he is "intelligent", so that cannot be who you refer too.
Thirdly, a person can be intelligent, yet be a fool, or a lunatic (Al Gore, for example, but you couldn't be referring to him either).
Some people who are very intelligent are so full of themselves and arrogant and therefor so offensive to others that they don't deserve to be respected.
Perhaps the most ignorant thing of all is that those who have robbed us blind have been able to get away with it by the simple and old tactic of turning us against one another so that we aren't focused on them and what they are doing. We will soon all be standing in soup lines and, probably, still yelling at one another; "This is all your fault you liberal socialist" "No, this is all your fault you conservative facist" while the ones who engineered the mess are sitting on their ranches and yachts smiling and saying; "Suckers."
no, we will never be in soup lines. this is typical paranoia. 6% unemployment. during the depression we had between 25%-30%. nope, your tactic doesn't work. no soup lines here. I have seen the unemployment lines however. you know what I saw? they had an article on ABC comparing our unemployment to that of the great depression. they had side by side photos. you know what I saw? the real poor people had tattered clothes and were dirty. the spoiled bratty newly unemployed people were drinking starbucks and talking on cell phones. entitlement is a disease, and this country is very sick.
