Democracy in America

[Wry Catcher]

Consider:


“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”
― Issac Asimov

“As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.”
― H.L. Mencken

“Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred.”
― Martin Luther King Jr.

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

The people are solely responsible for the bad government they get.

Asimov was correct. The fact that your ignorance on the type of government we have seems to give you the notion that your opinion is as valid as Mine.

Mencken was aware that when we invest everything in to a Unitarian President, we get what we deserve. I despair of the Democrat party ever looking to return the power of the people to the House of Representatives.

Freedom exists by the sacrifice of those who love and cherish it above meme.

"the notion that your opinion is as valid as Mine" with a capital M.

Egomaniacs are so funneh, mostly because they're so oblivious to it.

My understanding of our form of government is clear, democracy works when an educated populace votes. That is not to say I support an IQ test or a diploma to register to vote.

The "strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life" and on pages and pages of posts on this message board.

That said, maybe you will explain why you suggested my understanding is not valid, when you have not offered what type of government you support, and why it would be more valid than the ideal written in Art. I, II and III of our Constitution (along with a number of amendments making voting a right to more and more people).

Pretty simple really, even for a Democrat.

We are NOT a democracy. We have NEVER been a democracy. That fact that you can't get that right speaks volumes about your 'intellectualism'.

I do agree that there is a thread of anti-intellectualism raging through our country. It is on display every time someone promotes emotionalism over thought, compassion over logic, and a false morality over true help.

Democracy works ONLY in destroying society.

How about a Economic test? The left can't tell the difference between these two burger baskets...


A Wyoming $8 dollar burger basket from the local mom and pop diner (minimum wage $7.25)

Or A Colorado $12 dollar burger basket from the local mom and pop diner (minimum wage $11.10)

My point, inspiration of the curious. Curiosity is not a characteristic of the anti-intellectual, thus I didn't expect that set would ever engage in thoughtful discussions on each of these quotes, in terms of contemporary politics and internet culture.

Mockery is not thoughtful or thought provoking.
