IGNORANCE MAY BE OUR GREATEST THREAT

Friday, December 12, 2008

Have you been watching and listening to all the news about the automobile manufactures and their financial problems?

Cal Thomas says that ignorance is a greater threat than terrorism.

Thomas Jefferson warned: “If a nation expects to be ignorant and free…it expects what never was and never will be.”

I have lived a long time and I have never seen such appalling ignorance from people who are suppose to be our leaders. I see this from those who are suppose to lead their families, the church, the schools, state and federal government and just about every place.

What is lacking is not just what we call formal education—it is mainly plain old common sense or as some would say, “horse sense.”

Whatever happened to it?

If we spend more than we can afford, the wonderful government does not give us a bail out. Aren't we grateful for our Democrat leadership? (Yes, I'm being sarcastic.)

I think they have all been drinking some kind of kool aid.
