I can’t disagree with a lot of it. Not being able to read is something I simply cannot fathom.

And it's true on both sides of the aisle.

Look at the conservative authors I read in my teens and twenties: Russell Kirk, Wilmoore Kendall, Leo Strauss, Ludwig von Mises, Friedrich Hayek.

Who's filling their shoes today?? Maybe Thomas Sowell - maybe - but otherwise it's a pretty steep intellectual drop to the likes of Hannity, Coulter, etc.

Allow me to explain how I couldn't read till third grade. The public school system was so screwed up, there was no fixxing it. My mother spent a summer with me teaching me to read. According to the what the school said, my reading level went from second grade reading failure, to junior high level reading in one summer.

With the love and wisdom of my parents, managed to be one of the few, who received home schooling, and public education (any wonder Ma-Ha Rush calls them scruels). America needs to wake up to the fact that schools indoctrinate, they don't teach!

"The change from a print-based to an image-based society has transformed our nation. 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."

Yeah, but this is a hit piece on the deluded Christian right--not an inability to read. And this asshat doesn't have a clue, because the members of the Christian right spend a great deal of the time reading the Bible----which is nobody's light reading entertainment.

The REAL uneducated deluded segement of the population voted for Obama.
