I am sure that someone else has had this brain fart before. Freepers, conservatives, libertarians, any concerned citizen who wants to learn more about how government works (a civics class basically), the Constitution, the Supreme Court, Federalist Papers, etc etc. should organize into small groups of 10-25 once a week either around a person who will act as teacher ( I am sure there are many gifted folks among us) or more informally as a study group. It has been my experience that most people know diddly about politics and most of their opinions are based on emotion (even when they're on the right side of things). Politicians on both the right and left play upon this ignorance. Personally I think the Democrats have more of a vested interest in keeping people ignorant but the Republicans are not entirely blameless either. I really would like some feedback on this...or if it's happening already let me in on it. I am in NYC (I know, a state with a sickly hue of blue)....but give me a break.
Yes to it all for sure. And no, the pubbies are not entirely blameless. None of us ever are. But on the whole, I believe the right is more right on things than the current left could ever be......
PS - I'm in NY too, but upstate in the red. It's too bad there is so much blue in NYC. It drags the state down (politically). It could very easily be a much better place if it tried.
