The question really is, are we under or over 50% of educated idiots. Or in other words, have we reached critical mass, the point of no return...

Teetering on the brink, hanging by a thread, balancing on a high wire in a strong wind, grasping at a last straw, on the cusp of an abyss...

I agree with this author. (Reminds me of PJ O’Roark) It’s not the ‘prince of fools’ that concerns me, it’s the real Fools or EI’s that are dragging down this country.
i think the correct term should be ‘indoctrinated’ because an ‘educated’ person wouldn’ believe this nonsense.

Actually, the tipping point is when the number of idiots PLUS the number of "just plain evil" together exceeds 50^.

Maybe. I saw him on the road to Morocco.

It is good to put the word “educated” in quotes now, the real problem is not educated idiots, that is a contradiction in terms, the real problem is idiots who have degrees but little or no actual education. The author alludes to this when he mentions that Americans of 1865 understood the Gettysburg address, were more well-spoken and had a richer vocabulary than modern day Americans. Listen closely to what passes for English among “journalists” on television. Most could not pass a fifth grade English test from the nineteen fifties. Even those who major in history at today’s universities know less about real history than the average twelve year old son of a sharecropper knew fifty years ago.

It is perfectly plausible to assume that they are both. Marxist and moron are like tall and fat, either one may apply to a particular person or neither one or both may apply.

All constitutional conservative believers look away.

For the rest of you, yes you the folks that voted for this O’sucka,

YOU HAVE BEEN PUNKED!

YOU ARE IDIOTS, you were so anxious to seek change you skipped the pre-flight checklist on Obama and his act is about to crash.

0.5% will actually learn. I hope and pray that far more of the idiots and parasites will lose interest and stay home.

Like Orwell's 1984, a day will come when a small segment of the population views this film as a prophetic, cautionary tale...

...a more vocal segment will embrace it as a, "pretty cool way to go!"
