The Real American Schism: Educated People Vs. The Easily Fooled

The true sign of a failure is a lack of curiosity.

i haven't even read it and i'm saying: this.

This just in: Europe 100% free of idiots!

I loved this- Huge segments of our population, especially those who live in the embrace of the Christian right and the consumer culture, are completely unmoored from reality.

Good read and all too true. I swarmed something about illiteracy acouple months ago but No One Cared to read it. One of the comments (you could get lost in that mess) said the title had changed from America the Illiterate on truthdig. The change is deceiving or confusing or both.

IT'S LIKE, THER ARE BLACK PEOPLE, AND THERE ARE meepERS

*white people laugh uncomfortably

There are over 42 million American adults, ...

Those are some fascinating numbers to not cite a single source for.

I just riled a Bush worshipping Republican with this piece... and I highly doubt he even read it all ( I posted the first paragraph there) His reply? Verbatim: 'That Mahority description is the best description i've heard of the Obamaites yet!' Fuk! They're SO easy!

Huge segments of our population, especially those who live in the embrace of the Christian right and the consumer culture, are completely unmoored from reality. They are willing to use force to impose this clarity on others, especially those who do not speak as they speak and think as they think.

While I agree with the article, this isn't just a Christian right-wing problem.

Hoots, You're correct. (even if they ARE the loudest). The last statement in the article is correct in including Obama's retard campaign rhetoric as the same sort of thing that the pundits, and Republicans spew, but then, politics and religion were almost fused, like The Fly, for the last 8 years.

'IT'S LIKE, THERE ARE BLACK PEOPLE, AND THERE ARE meepERS'

deserved a damned repeat (OH, and a minor correction, heh)

Old article is old

pjp56, you're right. And I don't see the two ever changing.

Idiocracy?

yeah i would say that the level of discourse in this article is about on par with idiocracy

ever see a bird peck at a mirror, and you're like, bird, you don't even know what you're doing

Blind religious republicans are less numerous than blind republican hating liberals. They are, however, worth about the same.
