I do reach out to anyone who wants to learn the facts.

However one basic fact is that other nations have the sense to want smart folks in charge. Only in America is the line, “I’m just an ignorant hick, just like you! something that gets someone elected.”

Ignorant hicks are not morally bad for beinf ignorant and stupidity is not a crime.

However, stupidity in national leaders gets people killed.

No one would let a hillbilly like Palin do surgery. She would not even get into medical school. Yet, for high office, great masses of stupid folks think that is just fine - where she can do far greater and more lasting damage.
