Consider this…in light of this…

“If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be.”
–Thomas Jefferson to C. Yancey, 1816.

    I saw that article yesterday and thought that’s what you were referring to. I kind of feel sad for those people. It’s really not all their fault that they are so stupid. It’s not like the schools are teaching much these days except how to love yourself and put on a condom.

    Libertarianism

    Conservatism
