The Motorcycle Bitch

In my last post Kadizzle mentioned the woman who described herself as " I am a motorcycle bitch".  This morning Kadizzle reflected on his conversation with her.  The woman who had but two incisors top and bottom said " I aint going to let them make me change my religion, and I aint going to wear one of them things over my face".   How many people actually believe Obama is going to get their gun, we will have Sharia Law, women will have to wear Arab garb in our country.  It is such a stretch of reality, yet the Hoopleheads actually think such things could happen.  The other day Kadizzle went into the Hardware store in Hazen.  The hardware store is now owned and run by a bunch of home schooling fundamentalist.  Of course Kadizzle enjoys egging the clerk about his right wing insanity.  In the course of doing so an older man who worked there started ranting about the dangers of a "One World Government", which of course is what Obama and Hillary really want.  Usually you go about life thinking most of the people around you are rational, but then reality strikes, you turn on the radio and hear Rush, you meet the old geezer worried about the Illuminati.  You read an article about the nut cases in Idaho, and on the border fearing secret internment camps. Sadly you realize you are in a society which has a hard core of perhaps 28% severely ignorant people, walking around breathing and believing the moon landing was staged, there is no global climate problem, and Obama is coming for your gun. Trump feeds on these people, Fox News feeds on them.  These are the people every company knows they can easily rip off with pay day loans, credit cards, and 19.95 Chea pets.  Every time you meet one of these people you are meeting an American failure. A failure of our economic system, a failure of our educational system. The election will tell us how serious the problem is.
