Dumb And Numb-Just How The Eilites Like It

I have to say, I can not wait to buy and read Laura Ingraham's http://lauraingraham.com latest tome, "Power To The People."
One thing that she said on her radio program today has stuck with me. She said that it appears that many Americans like to be dumb and numb. It was one of the most accurate comments I have heard in a long time.
In defense of many Americans, there are thoughtful people and yes on both sides that are trying to push for better education for Americans and a better informed citizenry.
But, let us face facts. I feel like I am in a time warp.
Yesterday, Sen. Hilary Clinton (D-NY) unveiled her Hilarycare II, trying to sugar-coat the socialization of medicine in the United States, and O. J. Simpson is in jail again. And, for good measure, there is still rumblings that Newt Gingrich is thinking about running for president.
Is this 1995 or 2007?
So, I have a pop quiz.
How many know anything about the Israeli air raids into Syria? Or, how many know about the story of a group of Iranians and North Koreans in Syria who died in a chemical weapons accident? (HT: Jerusalem Post http://jpost.com)
Not many, I am sure because the DDBMSM likes you to not know, thus not care. It is more important for some news outlets to show you what O. J. Simpson's jail toilet looks like http://FoxNews.com. It is more important to show an ignorant Sally Field railing at the Emmy Awards that if mothers ruled the world there would be no more war.
An aside, I believe that former British prime minister Margaret Thatcher was a woman, and a mother, and led Britain to war with Argentina over Argentina's illegal invasion of the Falkland Islands in 1981. What does Miss Field have to say about that?
It amazes me to converse with people and when I bring up what is going on in the world what little people know. And with all the options out there such as the Internet, television, radio and yes, even newspapers, it appears that most Americans are dumber and number.
Does the United States need to have a major city nuked to wake up the majority of people? Does the United States need to continue to allow abortion on demand unabated because seven men in black robes mysteriously found a "right" in the constitution? How about banning school prayer? What about spending at all levels of government going unchecked? May I go on?
That is what I try to address when I can. We need to do what Miss Ingraham is saying in her book. We need to take back this nation from the abyss.
In the post previous to this, I implore on people to call their senators and congressmen to tell them NOT to pass the "Dream Act" which, among other things, gives illegal alien college students in-state tuition. It is amnesty through the back door. The American people were able to change the senate's mind once, now it is time to do it again.
When it comes to public education, we all need to get involved, whether we have children in the public schools or not. It is there that minds are being molded and mostly by left-wingers. If we are to take back something, it will have to start at public education.
What Miss Ingraham is saying is what I will say. Educate yourselves. Be on top of issues. Do not fall into the trap of being dumb and numb.
