More Liberal Stupidity
I don't know who's more stupid, the guy who sells these or the people who buy them.
It's not that Sam Kimery objects to the views expressed on Fox News Channel. The creator of the "Fox Blocker" contends the network is not news at all. Kimery says he has sold about 100 of the little silver bits of metal that screw into the back of most televisions, allowing people to filter Fox News from their sets. The Tulsa, Okla., resident also has received thousands of e-mails, both angry and complimentary, as well as a few death threats since the device debuted in August.
My definition of stupid is, someone who wants to remain ignorant. We are all ignorant of a lot of things, but those who do not want to learn are stupid. It's a typical leftist response to attitudes and ideas that conflict with their own to shut them out. They don't have the great fortune to have been born in a country like China or Cuba or North Korea, where the government censors news and ideas that may be offensive to them, so they find a way to censor it themselves. Not content to make our universities little Stalinist states, these people have found a way to filter out the truth in their own homes. Like atheists who don't want to be infected by Christianity, liberals do anything they can to keep from being infected by conservatism. Stupidity is their method of survival. I've long said that nobody who has an open mind can be a liberal.
These people would be a source of unending entertainment, if they weren't so odious and dangerous.
