August 23rd, 2007 liberals are smarter than conservatives?
Apparently, Fox News viewers have the least knowledge about domestic and world affairs. Not very surprising, really, if you have ever watched Fox News for more than ten minutes. What I fear the most is that America is breeding a very dangerous generation of ignorant farm-boys raised surrounded by conservatives only, watching the Fox News Channel, and not really have a clue about what the world is like outside of their community. Mixing ignorance, politics, and religion is a dangerous concoction. This, together with the religious fervor and dogmatism that are on the rise in the middle east (for both Jews AND Muslims), is setting the stage for what I only fear will be the most devastating period for humanity. And these different beliefs can never be reconciled because they are based on faith, not evidence. In deed, how can any amount of evidence and rational thinking bend the will of God (or what they perceive to be the will of God)? This is grim indeed.
