It's completely true that a huge percentage of the population in this country is willfully ignorant. The fact that George Bush Jr was allowed to become pResident of the United States proves it.

I'm not talking about the Florida coup or the Supreme Court selection. I'm talking about the fact that he was the GOP nominee in the first place and then managed to get slightly less than half of the vote.

His father left this country in economic wreckage after 12 years of reckless policies designed to benefit nobody but the ultra-rich. And his daddy invaded Iraq for reasons that had absolutely nothing to do with the security of the United States, but everything to do with corporate profits.

Who in the FUCKING HELL could possibly be ignorant enough to believe that his moronic son wouldn't do exactly the same things, or even worse?

A lot of people, apparently.

And if the Wall Street Journal wants to print that, please go right ahead and do so.
