The People tended to be small-minded and conservative and not very clever and were even distrustful of cleverness. And so, the children of the revolution were faced with the age-old problem: it wasn’t that you had the wrong kind of government, which was obvious, but that you had the wrong kind of people. As soon as you saw people as things to be measured, they didn’t measure up." (Terry Pratchett)

You know I finally came to the conclusion that racism is stronger than common sense. It is how I can reconcile your question, which I ask myself regularly.

I have also found out that racism and ignorance go hand in hand. They feed off each other.

BTW, I love this thread. Plan to come back to it later.

I honestly believe that there is a scarily-large set of people in this country who thought that President Obama was going to become President and that there would be some kind of universal shift in the sky where babies would start being born with horns and the moon would turn to blood.

I have seen WAY too many people seriously discuss how President Obama is the "Antichrist" or how he is going to "enslave the white people". It's scary to think that there are people out there who *actually* believe that. I try not to think of them as anti-government supremacists with a paranoia streak as wide as the Mississippi river but its hard not to think people are crazy when they are espousing crazy ideas.

Is it wrong that I think there should be an IQ test required for voting? (/snark)
