GREAT CIVILIZATION THEORY SAYS THAT MAN IS A VERY LARGE ANT | 2003-09-20

Conservatives are sophomores, "wise fools." They always say things they think will make them look Intellectual.

And when conservatives get that puffed-up look and start to pontificate, they are always wrong.

For fifty years I have seen that puffed up look appear on conservative faces when they said, "We are going to get the Negro vote this time." It's the "African-American" vote now, of course, but the goofy look on conservatives' faces is still exactly the same.

Another statement that goes with that Intellectual, constipated look is, "As Milton Friedman says, open borders would be fine if there were no welfare."

You import tens of millions of bloc voters for socialism, and there is still no welfare?

Labor VOTES, you idiot!

Conservatives are true retards!

Another theme of this conservative retard version of smarts is talk about Great Civilizations. Ibn Khaldoun came up with this Great Civilization crap in the eleventh century, but he was probably the hundredth Great Mind to come up with it.

Khaldoun and Spengler and all their predecessors said that each Great Civilization rises, does everything important, and then dies. It's all predictable, and all Great Civilizations are created equal.

Ants form colonies that are perfectly predictable and all ant colonies are created equal. According to conservatives, human beings are the same way. People like the Scorpion King set up Great Civilizations which then mature, build a lot of big stuff, and then die away.
