Without a sense of responsible citizenship, voters can elect leaders who are not merely incompetent or corrupt, but even leaders with contempt for the Constitutional limitations on government power that preserve the people's freedom.

Right On!

Democracy (and democratic republics) in the Middle East are done, for the time being at least.

I am sorry for a few of my Arab colleagues and their families.

Dr. Sowell direct, and to the point. He’s so right on the mark. Thanks for the ping jaz. Appreciate it.

Bare literacy is just one of the things needed to make democracy viable. Without a sense of responsible citizenship, voters can elect leaders who are not merely incompetent or corrupt, but even leaders with contempt for the Constitutional limitations on government power that preserve the people's freedom. We already have such a leader in the White House — and a succession of such leaders may demonstrate that the viability of freedom and democracy can by no means be taken for granted here.

thank God we inherited a Constitutional Republic...but can we regain it ???
