Industrial Grade Stupidity and Ignorance

I shouldn't take credit for the title, and in point of fact, I don't.  The phrase, industrial grade stupidity, was coined by Sarah Hoyt (see the link below the fold), and it defines our new not-a-president and his elite cadre of devil worshiping officials quite neatly.

The last election was the epitome of fraud.  What matters most to any patriot should not be the occupant of the pile at 1600.  Think: We survived eight years of the Ayatollah Obongo without the world ending.  What should matter most is fixing the system so that no one can steal another election.  The technology is there and is certainly adequate to the job.  What's missing is the will to do so.

I've never lived under a totalitarian government, but I've talked to a few people who have.  Believe me when I say that it's no fun.  I've known several families who escaped from the U.S.S.R. (now defunct), and they told me what life was like.  People would disappear, never to be seen again.  The State suspects everyone of treason.  The necessities of life are owned by the State and strictly apportioned according to arbitration.  And, should a Soviet officer see a girl he'd like to keep company with, she'll be waiting for him in his bed that evening.

I'm not predicting that sort of life awaits us next month, but in ten years time - it might.

Consider the Judicial Branch.  There are twelve (12) judges whose job it is to accept and decide on cases.  These decisions are, in essence, applying the US Constitution to a law or laws.  They vote on the decision as individuals, and these decisions should be 12 to 0, or 11 to 1 - one judge wanting to write the dissenting opinion.  How often has that happened?

Then there's the Legislative Branch.  We have 435 members in the House, 100 in the Senate, and all of them got their position by winning a popularity contest.  Their number one priority is being reelected.  There are no real qualifications for holding office; it's always been a given that a few of these people are going to be completely incompetent and insufferably self-centered, but people like that don't last long.  Do they?

The Executive Branch is a single man, again with no qualifications, and again by winning a popularity contest.  Now what?

Up until now we've been lucky.  True, there have been a few rough patches in the road (Tricky Dick and Spiro T., Cowboy Ron with his trickle down theory and the Iran/Contra mix-up, old Slick Willie with NAFTA and his bedroom hopping that shattered Casanova's record six times over - not to mention the ashtray to the head pitch by Hitlery).

Is it any wonder that elections are a bit shaky?

In the wake of this fiasco, here's a good news article from Resist the Mainstream: 

Cleaver Defends ‘A-woman’ Prayer, Blames ‘Orchestrated Outrage’ for Backlash

From the article:

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-MO) blamed “orchestrated outrage” for the backlash he has faced since concluding the opening prayer to the 117th Congress on Sunday with the words, “Amen and a-woman.”

"I say that we we have a society now that participates in orchestrated outrage,” Cleaver, an ordained United Methodist minister, told Fox News host Neil Cavuto on Tuesday.

The minister offers a corporate prayer for Congress, and if any group needs Divine intervention, it's Congress.  But instead of the correct amen, this idiot decides to add awoman.  Or awomen, as the case may be.  Just to be accurate, I did some minor research.

The word amen, as defined in the OED,
1. As a concluding formula (merely transferred from L.) = Finis.
2. A solemn expression of concurrence in, or ratification of, a prayer, or wish; Be it so really!

Cleaver is an ordained minister.  He should know this, but I guess that knowledge isn't everything.  One must be artificially politically correct and take care no to offend anyone.  I wonder if the Lord took offense?  I wonder what the United Methodist Church is going to say about this new ending?

I wonder if this is a great example of the industrial grade stupidity Sarah wrote about, or if it's nuclear safety related industrial grade stupidity?

I like this missive by Sarah Hoyt, who has first hand experience living in the kind of dictatorship the U.S. will inevitably turn into unless the election process and the news gets fixed in the next ten years.

Sarah A. Hoyt - Attention Please!

I can’t get the order, but we’re about to see: social credit; the banning of conservatives from the internet; branding us as terrorists, just as they’re doing to innocent protesters; show trials; people disappearing; our money confiscated; our houses confiscated; more lock downs, to prevent revolt; more masks to promote alienation; more lies.

All these things are happening now.  Social credit, show trials, disappearances, government confiscation of property without any due process at all... all of it.

We the People are late to the party.
