We Need a Christian Dictator

Seriously. Wow. Where else but in the mind of the faithful elect would you find such an argument made seriously? Even if I strongly suspect that he has a point — that being uneducated about politics or about the world leads you to make errors at the ballot box that we all pay for — I don’t think he realizes that he’s the one that’s grossly misinformed. And I don’t think I’d ever argue for his right to vote to be removed, or for a religious test to be put into place for voting much less for being elected.

Wow, hashtags in titles are kind of ugly. Wish I could make a “tweet version” of the title without having to hack the plugin I’m using…

    It’s amazing how many people (on both ends of the political spectrum) think the solution to everything is to have just their POV in power. No need for any kind of balance. If those people who disagree with me would just shut up, everything would be fine.

    I know, and I weep for democracy when the very real problem of lack of education, information and an informed electorate, is conflated with people believing something incorrect and that they need to be weeded out of the voting process. The problem is not one of getting the “right people” to vote, it’s getting the real information out there and stopping the very real flow of misinformation and propaganda. What’s disturbing is, both sides think “their information” is the real information and the other side is slinging propaganda. In a lot of cases, with the “framing wars”, it’s true.
