Stupid is...

Forrest Gump had it mostly right when he said "Stupid is as stupid does." However, the utter stupidity of some Americans was on display in a recent Fox News Poll regarding Obama and bigger government. What caught my eye was the last paragraph that stated:

Where does the government get its money anyway? While 65 percent understand the government's money is their taxpayer dollars at work, some 24 percent think the federal government has "plenty of its own money without using taxpayer dollars."

The very idea that 24 percent of the people think that the government has its own money is really astounding. There should be some measure of intelligence and working knowledge of how our government works before people are allowed to vote. My personal opinion is that voting should not be allowed for the profoundly illiterate of our society. They are too easily swayed by what just feels good to them. Oh, wait, I just described all of the Democrats!

To bring it back around to good old Forrest Gump, "Stupid is as stupid thinks!"
