I guess a person would have to be part Dodo bird and part ostrich
to not realize things are really heating up in world politics. This week alone
Great Britain has decided by
vote to leave the European Union of nations and the Republicans are releasing a
long-awaited report on the Benghazi
terror attacks that killed four Americans.
The sad truth is, if Mark Dice were to stand almost anywhere
in Baytown Texas and
film people answering questions about these two subjects, it would be
embarrassing. Recently, he explained to passerby’s that one of Hillary Clinton’s
campaign promises is to expand Sharia Law in the United States. He does it as a
matter of fact and people are quick to give him their 2 cents worth.
His interviewees are Millennials and mostly Caucasians. One
person after another agreed with Hillary, although the premise is preposterous
and totally untrue.
Mark Dice is doing with politics, what Jay Leno has done for
years with history. He interviews people on the street and asks questions and
like Leno, it simply proves that people have no clue what is or has happened in
the past. They make no attempt to think or reason.
Dice, speaking to an Anglo female says, “One of Hillary’s
primary platforms is to spread Sharia Law through the minority communities. Do
you think that is the right thing to do in the New World Order?” Now note, the woman doesn’t want to appear to
be racist, so her only viable option is to reply, “Yea, I think so. Yea.” Video
after video gets the same response from those fortunate enough to step up to
the Mic and be heard. Now note, these people are voters.
In San Diego, California, he again asks a young white man of maybe 25,
“What country famously broke away from England to start their own country
in the late 1700’s?” His answer is
astounding or should be. “I have no
idea. I don’t know man.”
Another group of people could not explain what the D.C.
stood for in Washington DC. One woman ventured, “Dominican Republic?”
“What is your reaction to President Kennedy dying this
morning in a car wreck and his I have a dream speech?” The young Anglo man with
the headphones grins and admits he didn’t see any of it. “I’m not even playing with you. But honestly,
it is so sad to hear that a President is dying…”
Dice explains to a young Afro-American woman pushing a
stroller that we nuked China
last week for currency manipulation. She had a very level head and felt like we
should have talked it out instead of dropping nuclear weapons on them. A Hispanic
male of about 30 felt like China
should have talked to Russia
before nuking them. “The whole nukes and things just pollute stuff.” Good
reason to not nuke another country.
And probably, the most preposterous of all and I am not
making this up, is this one. “Do you think if we would have had stricter gun
control in the 1300’s, Lee Harvey Oswald wouldn’t have been able to kill
Jesus?” The young white Millennial male didn’t hesitate. “No, he would have
still used a gun. Criminals will always find a way to get around gun control.”
Good point, right?
Most people seemed to believe Jesus died in the 1300’s. I
watched Mark Dice get people to sign a petition that read “I AM A MORON!”
across the top while he explained anything and every thing from illiteracy to
nonsense. Free kosher hamburgers at the Holocaust restaurant sounded appetizing
to almost everyone. “It made Schindler’s List as the best hamburg joint!”
Please, please, please. Do not take my word for this. See
for yourself and then using your left hand, lift your lower jaw back up and
close your mouth. Now raise your right hand and promise yourself you will not
be one of these people. https://www.youtube.com/user/MarkDice/videos
I routinely ask trivia questions on Facebook to the people
who follow my threads and some of their answers both sadden me or make me
laugh. The reason I say this is because very often, I can see that they simply
are not reading what I wrote. If I give them a multiple choice, often I will
get answers that are not options. Try that one in the 6th grade and
see how successful you are. It is not occasional either, but too often.
Other times, the answer isn’t even close to being on
subject. It makes me wonder what is going on in this country that we can’t
comprehend the simplest of instructions or remember anything other than sports
scores and movies quotes. If people can’t do a quick web search, they are
clueless most of the time and mutter “I don’t know.” They make no attempt to
think on their own. Mark Dice proves this again and again.
So what is the remedy? You tell me. As a writer of sorts, I
don’t have a clue.

DDC: Great column in The Baytown Sun this morning! One thing I take issue with, though, is that you say that Lee Harvey Oswald was assassinated by Russell Crowe. I think you need to check your sources! It was, as everyone knows, Oprah Winfrey! I'm sure glad I'm around to keep you straight!
James Connealy: Amazing how uninformed some people are, not talking about Bert, just the loons that were interviewees in his column today.
Jim McDonnel: Good editorial today amigo. Hopefully those folks won't reproduce.
Jason McGrew ... but who made those folks... and what generation is running our government?... some of us are stuck in the middle with a big WTF look on our face...
