Political posterizing.

...That's why the Paris of the West, Detroit...

Sorry, Ty. This is not relevant to the point you were making.. But in what way would Detroit have been considered the Paris of the West? That seems strange to me

I can't address the rest of your post in any meaningful way because certain things cannot be discussed in polite society. This is one of those things.


Anyway, sorry, Zilla. You said at the start to keep the yapping to a minimum and to concentrate of the pictorial propaganda. Carry on with the propaganda!

I don't give two shits about talking points. I'm basing my opinion on what I see with my own two eyes and what I hear with my own ears.

"... and the claims of Republicans being "stupid" are myths.
They're not stupid because they're Republicans. They're stupid because they're stupid. And since there are so many stupid Republicans around lately, I suppose there's a certain guilt by association. But I don't think it's a myth that Sarah Palin, for example, is an imbecile. Dude, she's fucking dumb. Bush Jr? Dumb. Smart but just not a good communicator? You can't be serious

No one is dumber than the Democrats that enforce Black civil rights because NO area of high Black population is safe. "Know Blacks? Know crime" as the saying goes. If you live in Mass you can pretend it's not true, up until you find yourself in a Black neighborhood after dark. Of course facts and statistics lie because dey be rasiss an sheit.

You must be too young to remember Segregation. Detroit used to be a magnificent vibrant city until Black Culture destroyed it.

Huh. Weird. I never knew this. I know nothing about Detroit, but I've always pictured it in my head as an ugly sort of industrial city. I never knew it was known for anything except making lotsa cars

Bush graduate Yale University and then from Harvard Business School with a 3.6 GPA. In fact, Bush’s four year average at Yale was higher than the four year average of supposed intellectual John Kerry, who also graduated from Yale. He is also the only U.S. President to hold a Masters of Business Administration (MBA). He ran his own business, and advised a major league baseball team in its operations.

The main cause of people calling him "stupid" and an "idiot" was his difficulty in public speaking.

Then why was he so stupid when he was President? Was nobody doing his homework then?

And, it was a beautiful city until the late 1960s, and then the advent of the Coleman Young regime, which sent the city into the sewer. It had a brief potential for a rebound under mayor Dennis Archer in the late 1990s, but it has since continued its decline. Kwame Kilpatrick returned it to its Coleman Young nastiness. It's population is a shadow of its former self. It is mismanaged, corrupt and poverty stricken.

They ruined its architecture and its classic buildings are in disrepair. Things like the General Motors/Poletown fiasco, the highways that were constructed ripping through once nice neighborhoods, white flight, dumb ideas like the People Mover monorail, and a complete incompetence in running city services with a monumental corruption within its city council have doomed the city.

Was he "stupid" as President? I mean, he was reelected. The big "stupidity" he is accused of is Iraq, which is something that enjoyed a fair amount of bipartisan support in 2002 and early 2003.

Much of what he's criticized for is stuff he did that one would think Democrats would like - like the Medicare Prescription Drug Benefit and his initiatives to battle AIDS worldwide which were far more than what Clinton had done.

Other than his gaffes and speechmaking issues, it seems that what Democrats like to use as evidence for being "stupid" amount to political disputes, like the tax cuts issue. That issue is eminently debatable though, and it's not a "stupid people favor tax cuts" thing. Well, many Democrats like to say that, but generally it's because those that adopt that position are too stupid to actually debate the issue.

I know, it's easier to just say "he's so stupid."
