Reid-iculous Moments, Or We Did This To Ourselves

Ladies and gentlemen, on 21 MAR 14, Senate Majority Leader “Dingy” Harry Reid, in a stunning display of stupidity, even for him, declared that “all” of the “horror stories” coming out about Obamacare are “untrue.” Because THAT many people from all corners of this country, from all walks of life, and across the entire political spectrum are somehow conspiring against this president to derail the single worst piece of legislation ever devised, passed, and implemented. No, seriously, he ACTUALLY said that.

Yep, I laughed too...

Not to be outdone, however, Harry Reid-iculous decided to one-up even HIS rampant and rather obvious lack of intelligence. For what seems like the 8,295^th time, a decision was made to delay some part of the law; this time the enrollment deadline. The reason? Well, how about I just let Mister Reid-iculous tell it his way:

“Explaining the reasoning behind the latest Obamacare delay, Reid-iculous said too many people just didn’t know to use their computer properly and needed more time. Apparently, it had nothing to do with the well-documented failings of the website that have embarrassed the White House for months.”

“Dingy” Harry also said that people weren’t “educated on how to use the Internet.”

“We have hundreds of thousands of people who tried to sign up who didn’t get through,” he said. “There are some people who are not like my grandchildren who can handle everything so easily on the Internet, and these people need a little extra time. It’s not — the example they gave us is a 63-year-old woman came into the store and said, ‘I almost got it. Every time I just about got there, it would cut me off.’ We have a lot of people just like this through no fault of the Internet, but because people are not educated on how to use the Internet.”

I'm sorry, Harry, but since the internet as we know it has been in existence since the late 1980's to early 1990's, depending on who you ask (Not YOU, Algore), I'm pretty sure most people here in the United States have at least a passable working knowledge of how to use the internet. Even my own mother and father, who will 66 and 68 this year, respectively, know how to use the world wide web. My generation is the one that built the internet into what it is today (for good or ill remains to be seen), but our children – you know, the ones your monstrosity requires in order for it to work – are the true masters of it. Do you HONESTLY believe they're too “uneducated” on the workings of the web?

There are times when I wonder if liberals really are as stupid as we think they are, or if they're trying to put one over on us. I mean, seriously, how can anyone truly be as helmet-wearing, window-licking, crayon-eating STUPID as they appear to be, yet still be breathing? I know, I know – breathing is an autonomic function, but even so, they are beyond ridiculous at this point.

I long for the days when the political class still had a sense of honor and pride in what they did, when they realized that holding a higher office meant you were a SERVANT of “We the People,” and were less concerned with staying in office than doing the work they were sent to Washington to do. I yearn for a citizenry that was truly informed by a free and open press; a press that wasn't a willing participant in an agenda so destructive to the American people.

Most of all, however, I wish that “We the People” hadn't abrogated our responsibilities to the greatest nation that has ever existed. The sad fact of the matter is that it's OUR fault that Harry Reid-iculous, and others like him are still in office.

We did this to ourselves, and that, my friends, is the saddest thing of all. ~ Hunter
