“The dumbing down of America has been very well documented. It’s deliberate and it’s been going on since the 1930’s.”

One particularly insidious thing about this dumbing down process is that it gives rise to an unquestioning mind set that assumes that “if we’re doing it for the people” then there are no adverse consequences to liberal policies. Again, the so-called educational establishment and the popular media are notably guility of practicing this form of intellectual dishonesty.
