Just another leftist judging everybody else

Americans are "uninformed", Emily tells us. Unlike Londoners we are dim and stupid - but she is a 'political animal' and totally engaged. Yipee! Also, she thinks everyone should operate as 'anarchists' every day. I guess that works, except in Hollywood where these blathering sheep get in front of cameras and recite words someone else have written. Where is the anarchy there, Emily? Why don't you just rewrite all of your own lines and see how far that will get you.

I don't like boycotts, but in this case I'll just avoid anything this clown is on.

I read through part of that link, and while I'd agree that approximately half of the population here now is painfully ignorant (and these days, it seems to be split down political party lines-- with the supporters of one side significantly more clueless than the other), that article is ridiculous, for the most part. I don't know how they selected participants for those surveys, nor do I know exactly how many people they questioned for each one, as it's a random compilation of a bunch of different surveys-- but some of those questions, and their corresponding results, are laughable in terms of being representative of the entire population. Also, just scanning through, I saw one that mentioned how "only 23%" of Americans got their news from the internet... That stat alone is enough to invalidate that entire article, as far as using it against people in 2013 (when you posted it) is concerned.

What do you care what EM thinks? You seem to have a very entrenched view. Isn't Faux Spews enough to validate you? Or must you cast about in the Diaspora looking for Villains to Blame?
