“The electorate is completely different today and there are less thinking Americans than there were then.”

You got that right, the myth is still being promoted that we have a higher level of education now. It is said that the average WWII soldier only had an eighth grade education which is true but what is left out is that the average recent college graduate has LESS THAN an eighth grade education by the standard of 1945. Anyone who doubts it need only read samples of the writing done by those soldiers and compare to what people write today. I am constantly amazed that TV “stars” of today don’t understand the use of pronouns, something which used to be taught in grade school.
One of the worst examples is Obama himself, we are told that he is a super genius but in samples of writing which are KNOWN FOR CERTAIN to be his own writing he cannot make subject and verb agree!
A perfect explanation of our education situation. Well stated.
