More Coffee?

I was reading through some of the posts to the Wall of the Coffee Party Facebook page and came across this one from a Wingnut…

"…Is this party for me? I hate the Democrats they are war mongers. I hate the Republicans they are war mongers. I hate Liberals who think they are elite and educated. I hate Religious Wacko Conservatives. I love the Constitution and Ron Paul? What is this all about?..."

Did you happen to notice the 'hate'? And the most telling of all…hating the educated. It's a hallmark of the Rightwing; they hate intellectuals and they prefer to be ruled by bumpkins, such as our last President. How do we change that kind of reasoning? By education and it has to start at the lowest levels, the elementary schools. But what do we do? We starve our schools to death by refusing to pay for what they need to educate our children. When it comes to statistics, we're already near the bottom among the industrialized nations when it comes to education and we seem determined to go even lower than that. Because we hate intellectuals? Doesn't seem like a good enough reason to do the damage we are doing.
