But I think the Repubos are teachable - and the New Lefty Democrats are not. That about sums it up for me.

I don't think they are. Most republican politicians are committed authoritarians. The only reason to stay republican, and I haven't given up this hope yet, is that we might be able to take over through primaries.

What is needed is a basic Constitutional primer on the website that will explain several principles of Constitutional law. Seperation of Powers, the role of the Judiciary, do non-citizens have rights, etc., etc.

I'm not talking about controversial stuff. Rather, very basic third-grade level stuff that 80% of the posters on this forum seemed to have either (a) forgotten or (b) were never taught.

Perhaps this would end a lot of the idiotic posts. If someone posted a comment based on a seriously erroneous view of the Constitution or some principle thereof, the responder could simply reply by saying: "See III(A)(1)(b) of the Primer."

Just a thought. What do you think?
