re: #340 godfrey

But man, it takes an enormous amount of work to separate wheat from chaff.

I couldn’t agree more. More work and time than most people have, whose time is spent doing things like building houses. So many people assume that the deceived, the non-readers, the conned, are all “f**king idiots”. I would gladly punch someone in the face for calling my good friend something like that. I couldn’t do the construction math on a calculator that he does in his head. Dude has the work ethic of a freakin’ draft horse. He believes moonbat things, most times, because he has been CONNED.

When my grandmother was conned into buying a few cases (!) of Say No To Drugs ink pens by an unscrupulous telemarketer, I didn’t say “wow, what a f***ing idiot Grandma was!” No, she was a schoolteacher, an English teacher. She was not senile, she was F***ING CONNED.

Many Americans who have been conned are also not bleeping idiots. They are hardworking Americans who have been conned, and who don’t have the time, the inclination, or the expertise involved in sorting the BS from the truth, who don’t have the time or the knowledge of computers to even begin to know where to find an article online, let alone how to find 250 versions of the same story.

Too many people who know how to do these things, I see many here, think that the rest are just dumbf**k morons. Say that to my face about my friends, who work like mules and try to live good lives. Go on. Say it.
