Cry Havoc and Let Slip the Dogs of Stupidity

Let me start by saying that Dr. Phil is an unmitigated douchebag - and his finger-wagging friend is quite an entertainer as well. Truly, this a link too good to miss.

and Dr. Phil is a douchebag... just in case I didn't mention it..

Are we really, as a society, this stupid?

So many absolutely asinine statements floating about the airwaves and news outlets today... just for funzies, let's revisit a few.

1) This is Obama's fault. Wrong. People who think this is the case should report immediately for voluntary sterilization so that their genes will not pollute society as a whole. PCJS (politically correct jackass syndrome) was not inflicted upon this country by the president. He just (unfortunately) tends to suffer from the disease himself.

2) 'W'. Wrong again. Recommendations as per above. George, thankfully did not suffer from PC part of PCJS.. although the jackass part... (you are either with us or against us.. I had to go against the principles of free market to save it, etc)... well, at least he wasn't politically correct

3) Since Maj Hasan was apparently acting alone, it was just the actions of a crazy person, not a terrorist. Survey says... Wrong. Timothy McVeigh was not part of some larger plot and no one hesitated to refer to him as a terrorist (for obvious reasons). What then would make this case any different? Is it because explosives were not used or was the body count not quite high enough?

4) This is the Army's fault for sending Hasan to Afghanistan, even tho he really didn't want to go there. Ummmmmm....Wrong. Those drinking this kool aid should be slapped in the face repeatedly with a large, 3 day old tuna. A soldier goes where Uncle Sam tells them to go, period. Get over it. The Army's needs come before personal ones - and after the first Gulf War, if one is stupid enough to think that a deployment to somewhere in the Arab world isn't a distinct possibility, then one should refer to recommendations as posted in #1.

This could go on ad nauseum, but I think the pattern is fairly clear..

The real questions are these:
1) Has the tipping point been reached. Has the abject stupidity of political correctness finally worn out it's welcome? Have the self righteous jackasses who worship at this particular altar, realize what they have done? Do they see that their sacrifice at this altar had a price in blood and that it is on their hands?
or
2) Will we go back to the status-quo. Will we drown in our own stupidity. After all, if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, then we shouldn't jump to conclusions...

and in case I forgot to mention it, Dr. Phil is a douchebag
