Always Question Authority

One of the beginnings of human emancipation is the ability to laugh at authority. ~ Hitchens

A Sarah Palin-style Democrat just ain’t gonna happen

Über-wanker Richard Cohen discovers that Republican GOP candidates are morons (so far so good), then concludes that the Democrats will inevitably follow with its own cast of idiots.

Moron.

Cohen apparently hasn’t noticed politicians railing against Washington since … forever! Heck, every capital of every state and every country gets similar treatment. But that kind of rhetoric has typically focused on corruption and disfunction, not an ideological hatred for the function of government.

Aphorism: On Willful Ignorance

Posted on 03.12.2012 by AlwaysQuestionAuthority

By Madison S. Hughes (03.12.2012)

One of the peculiar properties of truth is that it has a bit of a sting. It strikes me as queer that when one speaks harsh truth to ignorance, especially willful ignorance, predictably they are reprimanded with comment concerning the tone, rather than the substance, of their argument.

It is socially acceptable for flat-earther’s to publicly express their willful ignorance. Most are quite proud of their willful ignorance, and publicly display it as a badge of honor. Paradoxically, it is not socially acceptable to publicly point out their willful ignorance. For my part, I cannot, and will not give willful ignorance a free pass.

Isaac Asimov born Eyzik Yudovitš Asimov (c. January 2, 1920 – April 6, 1992)
American author, professor of biochemistry at Boston University, one of the most prolific writers of all time, having written or edited more than 500 books and an estimated 90,000 letters and postcards, a humanist, a rationalist and an atheist

There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”
