In reading blogs this morning, I came across one that declared that “educated” voters would, of course, vote Democrat. That particular blogger wanted clubs in schools to “educate” children and youth in civics.Â
You know - if we poor uneducated Republicans could only know as much as the supremely wiser Democrats, we would feel the same as they feel and would give up our ignorant beliefs and become enlightened and “progressive” as God intended us to be.
I still marvel that such arrogance and such a wide-spread condescending attitude can be so widely accepted.  To many Democrats, people are too ignorant and/or stupid to make their own decisions and manage their own lives. They need the government to do their thinking for them and to provide for them.

It is the power of the liberal press!!!! The predominant liberal media has managed to equate “conservative” with ignorance in the minds of the average unthinking public. An example is the way Dan Quale, and even Ronald Regan, was protrayed…
When President Clinton was going through the Monica scandal, he was shown every Sunday on the steps of a church holding his Bible. He had a crew of ministers to come to the white house to “counsel” with him and was shown with them on TV and lthe media. Yet it is “George W.” or “Shrub” who is protrayed as “wearing his faith on his sleeves” The new Speaker continues to tells us…”Democrats have “values” but we do not wear our faith on our sleeves.”
TMS: the liberal press and the Democratic party in general has been very successful in characterizing conservatives and Republicans as uneducated and bigoted. It is telling how quickly and blindly so-called “intelligent” Democrats swallow that line. It’s the easy route. If you dismiss your opposition as being stupid, then you don’t have to look at your own policy and opinions very carefully.

Wow… I’m a Republican so I’m supposedly uneducated? Gotta love the MSM…

I’m not a Republican but my DH is, and he’s *way* more educated than the average Democrat.
I do, however, agree that children ought to be taught more about civics than government-run schools typically do. That doesn’t have anything to do with trying to influence political affiliation though! I just think that Americans should be more informed citizens in general
