Betsy has something in this post that I want to comment on.  It's the failure of the young to connect their circumstances with the policies that are causing it.  In other words, why do young people vote Democrat when its those very policies that are harming them and their futures?

My theory on that is that Democrats run the educational system and their crowning achievement there is to turn people into morons.  People may be "instructed", but they are not educated.  For if they were educated, they could "connect the dots" between their pessimism and what's causing it.  The inability to think for oneself is being drummed out of the kids.  Also, the ability to distinguish one thing from another is being drummed out.  "To discriminate" is a bad thing, but it is necessary in order for someone to be intelligent.  To wit: everyone is said to be "equal", but everyone is not equal.  Equivalencies are being made that do not exist.  History is not taught.  Math is not taught.  Hell, nothing is taught that is worth anything.  What is taught is how to be confident, while that is perhaps a good thing, it means nothing if one is incompetent.

Perhaps the tombstone upon which is written the epitaph of the American Republic will have the inscription:  "Died of ignorance" upon it.
