American Right Wingers Prefer Abject Ignorance

And no, this isn't about "elitism." This is about intellectual dishonesty.

GOP leaders believe they can eventually con ordinary Americans into living without health care, retirement, veterans' benefits, job security, clean air and food and water or a living wage. Into dying for corporate profit, in other words. And ignorance is their greatest ally. 
American ignorance and stupidity in the 21st century, so carefully cultivated by Fox News and Rush Limbaugh, is like quicksand. There's no bottom there.
