The viewers who religiously watch Fox News and listen to Limbaugh are living proof of how very ignorant  and lazy many Americans have become ! We the people pay an enormous price: the precious lives of our people who are sent off to war !

Not only does being intellectual make you an elitist, it also means that your anti God as well as a tool of Satan!!!!!

Naw, I know what you mean. I guess if we let this trend of ignorance continue down its path, we will end up where it takes us, which is a terrible, terrible place, and were about half way there already.

I fear how ignorant this country has become. I fear the fact that intellectuality is scorned nowadays as "elitists".
