Replying to a comment on:

O Dawn of Reason, Were it not for you, America bows to a queen, Louis XVI fathered a king, And Marie died old at Versailles. Were it not for conceived equality, Voltaire, and nobilityâs shame, Feudal Europe languors still While princes regal ride. But light and wisdom fill our lives, Mold us now two centuries, Crossing every barrier Save the English Channel.

Nonsense, the dawn of reason has never been less likely in the U.S.: your President is a religious fanatic and your country is inhabited by moronic zealots. CNBC and Fox news fill your minds up with tripe and as a consequence there is no country in the world as close minded and addicted to a misconceived notion of freedom. No doubt Thomas Jefferson would be happy to see how the dawn of reason had broken across an obese landscape to reveal a country full of be-mulletted half wits travelling from one dispensary of sugary confection to another whilst becrying the joy of living in a land where freedom of thought extends to which Krispy Kreme donught they will fill their fat mouths with next.
