Certitude borne of stupidity |
|
Sarah Palin has that sense of certitude, that "confidence" that people who have no idea of what they don't know have.
I always say it's not what I know I don't know that worries me, it's what I don't know I don't know that worries me.
That's what scares me so much about her- here she is, in this for "what, 8 weeks?" and she won't take any counsel or advice. She really thinks she doesn't need any.
God save us if they win.

1. We've been watching that sort of certitude for eight years. And that's quite enough, thank you! |

2. She and her crowds remind me of the song Witch Hunt by Rush |
|
Features distorted in the flickering light Faces are twisted and grotesque Silent and stern in the sweltering night The mob moves like demons possesed Quiet in conscience, calm in their right Confident their ways are best
The righteous rise With burning eyes Of hatred and ill-will Madmen fed on fear and lies To beat and burn and kill
...
Quick to judge Quick to anger Slow to understand Ignorance and prejudice And fear walk hand in hand

She knows that she does not know but she doesn't think it matters?

I've seen this kind of certainty in some of my fundie friends, and it's maddening. They have absolutely NO DOUBT about their beliefs, and that translates to their view of the world. They can't conceive of the idea that THEY might be wrong -- anyone who DISAGREES with them is wrong.
