like Douchey would be permanently out of work if they got the permanent GOP majority they so badly hope to finagle. With no "liberal" causes to rail against, Fox could let 95% of its staff go.

yet have no clue at all about American history. Shouldn't every American understand Jim Crow Laws, why they were used, and why we should never, ever vote to allow these things to creep back into society? On FOX news history is something to not know, cry the other side doesn't understand, and then force fantasy land to be the new normal or you're nuts. This is the crap people claim they need to watch to stay balanced.

so actual ignorance of true American would not be an issue if they are allowed to teach it according to their beliefs.
