I wish it were true (that Americans aren't dummies), but in fact, many seem to be dummies. A poll yesterday showed that a huge majority of people twenty and under believed the hype about the draft being reconstituted. That was a big fat lie concocted by the Democrats--and of course we know Charlie Rangel (what party might he be in, I wonder?) actually put forth a bill to do that--and voted against it.
This is not encouraging for those of us who love freedom. If people will believe any lie put forth by mediots and politicians (provided they tell it often enough), this country is in deep trouble.
