While I largerly agree with you, I have a bone to pick with Rush over his promulgation of the “low information voter” concept.

He attributes this group to not being informed about the truth. This implies, he thinks, that if they had the needed information they’d react rightly. I whole heartedly disagree.

While they aren’t being informed of the truth, they could give a rat’s patootie about it as long as they get their iPhones, WICs, TANF, SNAP, Section 8 and EITC. They would fight to the death on the devil’s side if these entitlements were removed - they just don’t care about morals, right, ethics and hard work - they haven’t since LBJ I’d say.

And if you need more evidence about low-information ‘citizens’ reacting rightly if only they were told the truth, I respectfully submit to you the criminal case against OJ Simpson.

Some of the supposedly most “educated” Americans, those who hold post graduate degrees, helped to elect the band of demons who now run this country. “Low information” is not the real problem, refusal to recognize reality is the problem. We have a strange phenomenon of people who have triple digit IQ numbers, some of them in the actual genius range, who steadfastly refuse to recognize what is going on in front of their faces. The way I express it now is that people must make a choice, you cannot praise the founders, praise all the great men and women of the nineteenth and early twentieth century and at the same time praise the demons who have taken over this country. If you believe what is going on now makes sense you are saying that your grandparents and all who preceded them were mentally deranged. It is one way or the other. I personally think my parents, grandparents and others before them were humans who made mistakes but I don’t think they were all nutcases.

One way or the other folks, one way or the other, it cannot be both ways. If you say we have a good president now you are saying George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and most of the others were all terrible presidents and you are calling Benjamin Franklin, a man who has often been listed as one of the greatest thinkers in history a fool. One way or the other. As for myself I am more amazed at the brilliance of the founders everyday. I will stop now before I really begin to rant.
