It has now been verified:

Stupidity is endemic in America, just as it is in every other country around the globe. The New York Times' Roger Cohen visited Oklahoma recently to face abject stupidity first hand. Oklahoma is the state that is battling the rapid spread of Shariah law.

In case you are wondering, Shariah law does not exist in Oklahoma. It never has. It won't at any time in the future whether anyone fears it or not, but that doesn't prevent people from being terrified of it. Of course, none of them have the slightest idea what Shariah law is. But that hasn't prevented Republicans from spreading the fear. After all, they have to make sure that their millionaire and billionaire benefactors receive their $700 billion tax cut.

In the other 49 states, the same people are spreading the fear of the debt, which, according to them, can only be solved by giving the same rich people their giant tax cut. Giving the rich a tax cut, according to Republicans, is the only way to solve all of America's problems.
