Ignorance is not bliss

So I'm sitting in my American government class today (before class actually) and during conversation this woman behind me says "As long as it isn't Barack Hussein Obama! I don't want to wear a Burqa" I tell her he isn't a radical muslim and did not go to one of those muslim schools that teaches hatred of anything not muslim but she didn't want to

You could have told her to just go read up on her facts, but then she'd have to.. you know.. read.

Reading is hard.
Believing complete bullshit is much easier.

Welcome to a good portion of the Fox newsfed USA. the whole Barack is a muslim was a short lived smear on him made by Faux news at the beginning of 2007.

When something is important to me I research it. If I was actually afraid someone would force me to be in their religion you had better bet I would research the facts versus the Bullshit.

I can't wait to leave this country sometimes. Hopefully to Vancouver in the next few years.

Republicans in general have one thing in common, and that's ignorance. And they're so very good at forming violently-strong opinions based on that ignorance.

You should print that off and give it to her. I hate it when people regurgitate racist/ignorant crap like that which they haven't even bothered to research. I wish people would take more responsibility for their opinions, especially when they go around espousing them.
