America is suffering an invasion of nitwits. Not just any old run-of-the-mill nitwits, but arrogant, illogical, narcissistic nitwits. The days when a pompous twit would be regarded as a foul odor wafting by are over. Those same twits today are being allowed the attention they crave by the silent majority out of political correctness.

Not only do egocentric meatheads exist in all spectrums of society, they exist at the highest levels of government. Masses of nitwits have made their way to Washington. And they don’t solely exist in one political party, or one gender, or race or socio-economic class – nitwits are equal opportunity offenders; they exist in every shape and form in Washington.

The U.S. needs to curtail the spread of nitwit fever. And the way to do it is to start at the top, nip it in the bud, if you will. Talking meatheads have gained entry into top elected offices in Washington and have been passing laws and policies that affect the wellbeing of America for years. What country would allow talking meatheads to set rules and policies?

And we wonder why the U.S. is in its worst financial crisis ever. It’s time that the president, members of congress, justices of the supreme court, federal and state courts be required to qualify for their positions. All members should be given psychological and ethics tests. (No cheating allowed!) Also tests on critical thinking and abstract reasoning as well as comprehension would signal if the candidate possesses enough gray matter for problem solving.

These key government positions are what shape the country. Individuals holding these positions are relied upon to make critical decisions so why shouldn’t they be required mandatory testing to prove their fitness to serve? Way too many in Washington have the intelligence of a doorknob, yet think their big bulbous head shines brightest in the room. Fair enough, make them prove their worth.

There is no need to tiptoe around arrogant C-students any longer. People must face the fact that not everyone is on the same intelligence level. Obviously. We’ve seen what happens when low comprehension combines with a super-sized ego; the combustible mix turns such people into full-blown nitwits. These turd blossoms all resort to the same bag of tricks when something is beyond their cognitive skills. They respond in the same manner: 1) Try to divert attention away from the issue, 2) Try to blame others and 3) Act out aggressively in nitwit fashion to protect their ego.

President Obama would have no problem passing the tests on all levels – intellectual, emotional, psychological, and obviously he passed the physical test, or he would not be a sitting president. How absurd that the only requirement for a president is to pass a physical.

But how many members of congress and on the Supreme Court would be able to pass tests measuring their critical thinking ability and basic reasoning skills today? It should be mandatory for all elected and appointed officials to go through testing to weed out any bombastic C-students who do not pass. Tests to qualify for a position are given all the time; it’s nothing new. The military give extensive testing for critical, high-level positions, and so do major institutions, businesses, agencies and firms. Yet the three highest branches of government – the Legislative, Executive and Judicial – require no testing to yield the utmost power.

Why then, are the most critical positions in government appointed simply based on popularity? Comprehension and reasoning skills testing should start immediately and periodically to all members of the three branches of government. State governments would also do well to consider testing members of their legislature and courts. Bombastic nitwits everywhere would immediately have their illogical blather and antics curtailed. What would they complain about then? Intelligence discrimination? Doh.
