Republican Voters Responding to Walker’s Opposition to Knowledge. Borowitz

[elleng]

LONDON (The Borowitz Report)—Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker is steadily rising to the top of the 2016 Republican Presidential field because voters are connecting with his “strong and consistent opposition to knowledge,” an aide to Walker said on Thursday.

While Republican candidates of the past, such as Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann, have capitalized on G.O.P. voters’ hostility toward verifiable facts, the aide said, “Compared to Scott, those two look like rookies.”

3. It getting harder and harder to tell the difference.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

4. Republicans are CONVINCED that they can create reality with the power of their mouth....

Say it.

Say it again.

Pass it on.

Say it some more.

Keep saying it.

Always remember rule #1 with being a Conservative: NEVER ADMIT YOU ARE WRONG which is EASY as long as you get everyone on your team to agree with it and mock those who question it or accuse them of being blinded by their Liberal bias.

Now it's done. In Conservative World there are "No Go Zones" that actually EXIST.

Don't believe it?

Ask any Conservative.

7. Well, he does have Biblical justification.

For with much wisdom comes much sorrow; the more knowledge, the more grief.

-- Ecclesiastes 1:18

But if he changes his mind he'll have Biblical justification for that too:

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

-- Proverbs 1, verse 7 (The format I used above conjures up a smiley if I try to use it here.)
