An educated society: the RW's single worse enemy

The apocalyptic fervor over a President of the United States discussing the value of education to school children is not surprising. The RW's spin machine relies on a simple army of well...simple people. Their ability to ratchet up fear, rage and group hysterics is dependent upon using emotion rather than intellect or logic to rally troops.

Before an agenda or inkling of what would be presented in the President's school broadcast was known, the fear machine was loaded up and the socialism, communist boogy man parade begins again. What better way to build an even larger future army then by having kids miss a day of school to protest learning.

and people with postgrad degrees are growing year by year(many are waiting out the recession by getting advanced degrees).

And they've been trending Democratic since Kerry.

Thanks for the thread, ksoze.

at the baccalaureate level. Doesn't have to be a graduate degree. But an educated society doesn't blindly accept the status quo rwingers are feverishly trying to defend. Questions and neoconservatism cannot coexist.

"Liberals make decisions based on emotion instead of logic."

Although it's hard to keep stupid people from reproducing, their impact on the rest of society can be minimized. People who ask 45 year-olds why they aren't on Medicare need to be sent on a sabbatical until they learn the answer to that obvious question. People who ask where the birth certificate is need to sit after class in the hall of records in Honolulu and write out 500 times "I have seen the real birth certificate". There was a time when stupidity was punished and not just by waiting for fatal Darwin Award types of consequences. Stupid people need to be disqualified from positions of authority, no matter what family they were born into or how much money grandpa left in his will for them. If stupid people were fearful of opening their piehole and letting their ignorance show, that would be a good thing.

Adlai was Running for President.

A woman came up and gushed, "Mr. Stevenson, you have the vote of every thinking American!!"

His reply: "Sorry, ma'am, I need a majority".
