Posters? Sure. Here's the sum without the graphic:
How many more massacres do we have to orchestrate before you let us take your guns?
Well, if they actually did that once it would be a start, I suppose. How many lies to people without arguments beyond tradition or appeals to authority have to tell before they can stop worrying about having to rationally defend their position without looking like sociopaths or narcissists?

If you ask college students today who is responsible for the most evil they will say the United States.
Said no actual polling of college students.

What's even funnier is that a large number of Republicans, 76% according to CATO Institute, say they keep some of their political beliefs to themselves because of political correctness (as of Oct. 31, 2017). What's funny about it is that Republicans are more likely to own guns and have won both Congress and the White House, yet continue to act, speak, and apparently feel like a minority ripe for victimization.

Speaking of stupidity, in that same report:

51% of Democrats support a law that requires Americans use transgender people’s preferred gender pronouns.

65% of Republicans say NFL players should be fired if they refuse to stand for the national anthem.

47% of Republicans favor bans on building new mosques.

51% of strong liberals say it’s “morally acceptable” to punch Nazis.

53% of Republicans favor stripping U.S. citizenship from people who burn the American flag.

Not sure if that constitutes a conspiracy or confederacy of dunces, but why quibble?

Yes, racists have long used conspiracy theory to attempt to legitimize their nonsense. It's crazy, intellectually bankrupt, and worth noting, so thanks for that one.


On another front, the Price is Right bit was a pleasant surprise. It's always good to hear when a "celebrity" turns out to be a decent sort with his head on straight. Good for your mom and good to know.

Warning that there's some adult language (censored but implied) in this article:

Scientists find link between people impressed by wise-sounding, 'profound' quotes and low intelligence

"It found that those who are receptive to pseudo-profound, intellectual-sounding 'bull' are less intelligent, less reflective, and more likely to be believe in conspiracy theories, the paranormal and alternative medicine."
