I would like to share my comment on Dr. George Koo's article on Asia Times:

Dear Dr. Koo,

Methinks the American Imbeciles are not coming. They are already here and they're in charge. 

The imbecility is everywhere. When I read or watch the Mainstream Media nowadays, there is no longer any attempt to apply finesse or subtlety to insinuate or equivocate. I used to work in that cesspool. How I miss those golden days when lying should not be baldfaced. 

With very few exceptions such as yourself, every talking head or pundit is either a moron, a liar, a hypocrite, or any combination of the above. As for politicians, Americans keep electing the most brilliant morons and the worst liars, so if they don't lie and do something stupendously stupid, Americans will think that it's not democratic. Watch the Democrats clamor for more democracy, which has produced our own Imbecile in Chief, among earlier less grievous ones. You'd think politicians should have a minimum threshold IQ of at least 80 to be eligible. 

H.L. Mencken said in the fifties, "As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron."

I thought he was talking about Dubya Bush. I thought that the American voters couldn't do worse than that, until they re-elected Bush, then I wasn't so sure. What is the chance that Trump is the lowest we can get? Maybe people like Shumer will take up the slack. Soon they'll be outlawing Sweet and Sour Shrimp Balls and Chicken Fried Rice. They'll ban Bonanza reruns because Hop Sing was a Chinese spy. 

Mencken also said: 'Nature abhors a moron."  Do we have hope?
