I like to say that if one doesn’t know a thing, it makes them ignorant regarding that thing. And it is nothing to be ashamed of. I can not tell you the different names of the various kinds of clouds. That makes me ignorant of that. But a Meteorologist that is ignorant of that is also what I call STUPID. If you don’t know something that you SHOULD know, you are stupid.

A politician that doesn’t know that FDR was not president in ‘29 and people didn’t have televisions in the US at that time, well, that’s stupidity.

I saw a quote recently from Benjamin Franklin (haven't verified it): "We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid."

I just hope that the Democrats don't discover before the 2020 election that Donald Trump was born illiterate.
