Nutcase nadin leads an excruciatingly long, arrogant discussion among her band of little addled DUmmies, warning them about "country bumpkings". Once again, the smartest person in the universe shows absolute, comical ignorance:

Anti intellectualism.. this is what you get
when country bumpkings, who want to manage a national budget at their kitchen table, who hate book learnin' and experts... take the reins of power.
There is a good dose of racism too...
But this is is boys and girls. This is what is destroying us.
Ok here is a term that MIGHT work...
Know nothings? That works? It is a less regional and a close equivalent. I promise to work on a term... but it is real... and it is on display in Idiocracy as well.

Okay, all you stupid country bumpkings, you know who you are.

3. 'Scuse me, I know I'm bucking against the excepted wisdom here,
But being a "country bumpking" myself, I think that you also need to take a look at demographics other than rural. First of all, there are a lot of liberals and solid Democrats out in rural areas, and second of all, rural voters make up about five percent of the voting public. I suggest that you start looking at the 'burbs as one of the larger culprits
You will find that the DUmp is big on racist code words. This thread is a great example.

5. From reading both of your comments
I think the other poster was referring to those rural people who don't honor education. I also grew up in a very rural area and education among a lot of people was highly valued. There was a group that was very anti intellectual though, and those are the ones we see supporting the teabaggers now. Also, just a note, I think it is accepted wisdom.

6. Being from the country doesn't make you a country bumpking
Neither does being from the suburbs. But I've seen and known a lot of teabaggers in the suburbs.
What is it with the bumpkings? What's a bumpking?

10. Alas I am not talking about you
but when I think about a country bumpkin you are not the one that comes to mind. Nor does it mean that this person lives in the country side.
I am thinking of your classic, know nothing, books are bad... learnin' is bad, experts are bad that right now infects the extreme right wing of the republican party. It is a state of mind... and has nothing to do with where you live.
IN fact. there are couple of those where I live... and take my word for this, they have never been in the country side. The problem is that we really don't have a good term for that. In spanish there is a really good for that state of mind... but really not in English.
The closest would be willfully ignorant but it doesn't even approach it.
As you said, the burbs are pretty bad, actually very bad... alas we need to come up with a term... because it really does not exist.
And right now that summarizes it.
Oh, okay, you mean "bumpkin"! Now I understand. And they're really stupid, and they live in the suburbs because they make a lot more money,
and don't have to live in a crappy little condo beside a roaring San Diego freeway. Now I understand... "bumpkin".

36. The problem is that while it's gotten virulent
it's been with us since at least 1740... it is a parallel with the Enlightenment.
We are actually in a small motion cultural revolution I fear though.
And no, republicans since it is sadly not limited to them... or the voting public... I mean the actual voting public is a minority. That is another discussion though.
But you know, the more I hear about these bumpkins, they seem to actually be living the American Dream.
I didn't think that was possible after eight years of Bush.
Some Dummy suggested the bumpkins are actually "philistines". How dare they suggest an answer to know-it-all nadin?
She knows all the answers.

39. YEah but think of the BIBLICAL concept
and many of our boys and girls will get the insult, but not exactly what it means.
And in some quarters this could be seen as elitist... hell the whole discussion could be seen that way by a few.
It's obvious nutcase nadin has no idea of the use of "philistine" in English.

40. No, that will only insult them
Asking them if they would slam their dicks in a door might work better.
"Would you slam your dick in a door? No? Then WHY would you vote for so-and-so?"
These people are earthy. They like crass and crude language, off-color jokes, and double meanings. We should be using that.

35. Those are the majority of Americans
The vast majority (bumpkings or otherwise) are ignorant. And willfully and happily so. Just give them "reality" tv and they will be content.

157. I call it The Stupid Belt
and it doesn't really have any specific geographic location. Big cities tend to be on the whole smarter and more liberal, but stupidity is everywhere. The exurbs around any large city tend to be heavily Stupid.
At the Dump, "Stupid" is a code word for "white".

13. The problem is that we really do not have the exact
word to describe the state of mind and these people are not just limited to the country side.
Maybe it is time to invent a term... like truthiness and colbert.
Yeah. Trust nadin to expand your vocabulary.

20. There is a clear absence of education and knowledge. This country is very pathetic since 1980.
That's when the Republicans and the Democrats both fell in love with an idiot named Ronald Reagan and continued his trash-America legacy to the present.
DUmmy Sarah Imaboobi is in a perpetual bad mood because she can't get laid. She needs to try stevenumbers again.

21. Ronnie was a very smart political run
but I'd say the origin of this IS in the 80s... but not quite with Reagan... but with a certain millionaire a few times over, who developed a cult following. He was also helped with the deregulation of the media. A lot of the damage was done by El Rushbo who celebrates this know nothin' attitude.
Also the US has a strain of this under the surface, going back to the 1740s... it just gets rabid from time to time. El Rushbo is our modern day Father Coughlin. He didn;t do that much damage since he remained regional. El Rushbo went national and became part of a movement.
Wait a minute! You mean it wasn't the USA-USSR hockey game?

71. Congrats my reference to the dictionary defintion
is the Spanish Dictionary of Language... the Royal Academy Dictionary to be specific, as well as my Spanish instructor in Mexico City... where i grew up.
As I said, it applies, even if it this hurts your sensibilities.
Now go on an google cajeta...
Oh and this is not a term I would use with Americans... but I have heard it used in reference to oh George W Bush... again it applies. If it helps, also with the current president of Mexico, and a few members of the Mexican House and Senate.
Heck, you will see it in many of the message boards down there.

WTF is a "bumpking"?
-
nadin certainly reminds me of the well educated know nothings that usually teach or hold government jobs....we need to find a suitable term for them. I'm thinking "Pimple-on-the-buttkins" or just "Buttkins" for short.
-
I think it's time nadinostradamus went back to writing fantasy-game books, or whatever sort of books those were she used to write, as she certainly hasn't contributed anything to a cerebral discussion on Skins's island the past several months. Time for her to try something else.

And there you have it... Nads is apparently an importer/exporter. She competes with George Costanza.

Wow, the smartest people in the world can't come up with a word to describe what they call ignorant bumpkins.
Here primitives, I'll help. Those you refer to as ignorant bumpkins are called "producers" and/or "achievers." Those like you who believe the bumpkins are ignorant are called "leeches" and "mooches."
See how easy that was.

I was going to say that one needs at least a basic grasp of language & writing skills to author books. But then I remembered that she has written fantasy materials. One is free to invent any word they wish when dabbling in fiction.

Well golly gee, how does Nads explain me?
Yo, I'm from New Yawk, hub of regressivism, I lived in a po neighborhood, we's was all po, black, white, hispanic, we's moved to New Joisey dough, I's guess we's was still considered po, I's was a Republican az a baby, I's was a Republican growing up, and I's still a Republican. Hates to breaks it to youse guys at DU, but the most arrogant, pretentious peoples were'z the ones whose called themselves libber-al. They'z come in the po folks neighborhood and says lotsa stuff bout halping the po folks, den dey gets in them lemo-sines and goes backs to they'z rich hoods.
I'm educated Nads, and I'm smart enough and secure enough that I don't feel the need to punish those who decided to go further in their education, or chose a different path in life.
-
Those of us who are country bumpkins always have a good laugh at the idiots like nadin who think they are smarter than bumpkins and who prove their ignorance by spelling it with a "g".

There was is a group that was is very anti intellectual though, and those are the ones we still see supporting the teabaggers now Obama.
I fixed that to be truthful. The most anti-educational group there is are the blacks that think wanting to be educated is equivalent to wanting to be white.
-
A bumpking is like a dumpling made with beer batter.
It's really good, but can lead to parenteral poisoning if you eat too many sieverts of it.
I learned that from a retired nuclear sub captain that I accosted in a parking lot.
Anyone who disagrees with that is just an anti-intellectual bumpking.

Now, frank. That is not fair. She is the one who explained how Teapot Dome led to the Sherman Antitrust Act. She has to have quite the unique intellect to make that connection.

In nadin-speak, that was Tea Pot Dome. It's near the air port, by the laundry mat.

Child's play. An infant can do that.
It was Lord (Bertrand) Russell who said that a drought in central Asia during the 1350s was responsible for Chicago becoming the world's largest railway center during the 1890s--really, he did--and nadinostradamus has a long, long, long, long way to go, to even distantly approach Lord Russell's intellect; probably a few galaxies or something.

I can't believe she actually passed up a chance to write a confused discourse on the real, historical Know-nothing political movement.

Goonads has a history degree from some obscure school in Mexico.
Y'all ought to be licking her toes and telling her how wonderful she is.
She does, after all know everything. Just ask.
For shame. :lmao:
Yoo, Goonads, care for a nice cold glass of milk?

Wow...consulting "Teh Wiki" isn't always a good idea, nadin. Who knew?
Oh, and I'm one of those "bumpkings" you keep speaking of. Like Hank said, "I got a shotgun, a rifle, and a four-wheel drive, and a country boy can survive..."

I read a good book yesterday, "Robert E. Lee on Leadership", by
H. W. Crocker lll. Lee was a kindly man and a good judge of character but I don't think he would have allowed nadin to wipe Travellers ass.

If nads is the best example of booklearning then we are all better off then her stupid ass.

And to think I'd gotten used to teabagger! These people just have to put people in neat little boxes. That's what happens when you see race/creed/color/gender (real or pretend)/sexual preference instead of individual. And Nads, people can have plenty of "book larnin'" and still value common sense more.

If those asshats ever get the kind of government they really want, the boxes won't even be provided, we'll just be going into the ditch in groups of ten at a time and not coming out.
