The Wingnut Mind

Just a quick post. Yesterday I pointed to the return of US-American wingnut "Wakefield Tolbert" to the schoolyard. He turned out to be an exceedingly windy old fellow who has graciously provided me with fodder for dozens of posts exploring the mental limitations of the wingnut mind and the factual limitations of the world view created by such a mind.

For today, I'd just like to draw everyone's attention to the following bit of nonsense, as it epitomizes the intellectual cowardice of Tolbert's ilk. Wakefield was waxing indignantly about the "trillions" of dollars that Saudi Arabia was using to support ... well, something or other, ... Wakey got excited and forgot to complete his thought. Some of it had to do with the creation of "hundreds of millions of potential jihadist warriors against Israel." I suppose they're "potential" because the vast majority of them don't have weapons, or belong to a militant group, or anything else that would make them "actual" warriors.

Anyhoo, given Wakefield's gigantic animus towards Saudi Arabia, I asked him whether or not Saudi Arabia was a close ally of the United States. Just to be on the safe side, I told him the answer was "yes." Among other things, Wakefield responded with this:

"And no the House of Saud is not our pal. Or shouldn't be."

Isn't that special? Wakey gets to categorically assert that the USA is NOT a close ally of the evil House of Saud and its "trillions" of dollars in support of whatever and its funding of Madrasahs which pour out "hundreds of millions" of "potential warriors" while at the same time, he makes a half-assed bow to reality by adding that, okay, it is, but it shouldn't be.

In so doing, Wakey is (in his own pathetic excuse for a brain) free to avoid pondering the significance of US foreign policy in the Middle East, and free to continue building his sand-castle of delusions and anti-Arab, anti-Muslim racism. (Take the time to read Wakefield's avalanche of derogatory statements about Arabs and Muslims and then laugh uproariously when the shithead confidently asserts that he's immune to charges of racism, just because he's not racist. "I'm not racist! Arabs really are primitive sand-niggers for whom extermination is too good!")

"And no the House of Saud is not our pal. Or shouldn't be."

It's breathtaking isn't it? A colossal instance of complete denial, followed by roundabout admission that he's totally full of shit. A blatant attempt to have one's cake of self-righteousness and eat it too. Evidence of the complete inability to accept that all one's major beliefs and precepts are garbage and need a thorough re-working. Hypocrisy.

As I've said on numerous occasions, these mouth-breathing clods would be funny were it not for the fact that they're part of a movement, led by other mouth-breathing stupid clods like Dick ["asbestos lawsuits"] Cheney, Donald ["Committee on the Present Danger"] Rumsfeld and John ["I want to preform cunnilingus on a walrus"] Bolton. Together, these imbeciles and their followers have produced decades of misery and ruined millions upon millions of lives. To which they respond, "well stuff happens" followed by vague, inane assertions that things will get better.

Fuck 'em all.
