Bow to the lowest common denominator! Politiots!

Don't bother explaining anything, nobody is listening
On the way to work today I got to hear an excerpt of a “Town Hall” meeting that was supposed to be to answer questions about the upcoming health care reform bill. I had actually heard beforehand that someone somewhere had actually come up with a novel way to sabotage the upcoming town-hall meetings and was spreading the word through media hype and bloggers. The plan is simple… Just yell out and interrupt the speaker preferably at a critical point in their explanations. The goal is to simply heckle the speaker until they are so distracted that the meeting is useless and everyone goes away having wasted the evening and still knows nothing about a critical piece of legislation. It seems these days you don’t even have to know about what you are protesting. Just protest for the heck of it! I don’t even know what to say anymore! What does it say about a person’s intelligence when the best they can do is yell “neiner neiner neiner” every time you try to talk about a serious issue?
Personally my opinion on health care reform is that we need it but I have no idea how to fix the problem. However I am not here to argue health care reform. I am here because I find it completely insane that these people have been whipped into activism about a subject that they need know nothing about. The only requirement is the ability to sabotage any attempt at reasonable dialog. These types of antics just expose to the rest of the world that we are already on the slippery slope of decadence. In a country where the government is actually willing to have dialog and work to resolve a problem people would rather thumb their nose and babble for the sake of chaos.
The sad thing is that these folks think they are fighting for something… to save their quality of life, their morals, their ideals.
One lady was protesting because she did not want to pay for insurance that would pay for abortions, However i doubt that she even bothered to check if her private insurance covers abortions. (most do) but all that was needed was some politician with an ulterior motive to make the announcement… “if this bill goes through your premiums will be paying for abortions!”
So the Politiots (Political Idiots) lower the bar once more. Bowing to ignorance as a way to promote an agenda… way to go guys! Thanks for contributing to the further decay of the intelligence of the general population. If you keep it up you can set the stage for an Idiocracy!
