Politically And Civically Ignorant

I saw an article today that actually surprised me very little, by Jonah Goldberg, in it he discusses how folks who don't even know who their VPOTUS, 31%, are asked their opinions of politics in random polls. Heck, majorities don't know who the majority leaders are and their opinion is so important these leaders must lead by them. Its sad but I know its true, most folks can rattle of sports, music and TVland trivial gossip and follow their stars with an unbridled passion and for what, entertainment. Is it any wonder then most folks that claim to vote for the democrats tend to be celebrity followers and folks like me that vote republican have never seen an episode of Seinfeld, Friends, or any of other of the slop served by the networks. I have to be really bored to even turn on the TV let alone watch it unless it has a purpose, ie. sports, news, or educational.
These mindless TV drones are then of course going to come to think of their stars as real heroes with an educated opinion and adopt their soundbite talking points as if they were facts. Since they have never seen real experts or heard from them they of course don't exist and should thus be dismissed, nothing illustrates this better than the flap over global warming/pollution. Ah, socialists have always been the masters of propaganda over the mindless held immobile by screen with pretty pictures and ideological voices. Conservatives understand that life does not begin at Cheers and end with Friends and that Sheryl Crow, whoever she is, and Babs Streisand etc. ad nauseum are not diplomats, scientists, or experts and that most are dropouts and failures in the real world so they become caricatures, making a living as poseurs to their adoring public in search of nirvana.
My childhood heroes were folks like Nathaniel Hale, Davy Crockett, Daniel Boone, Kit Carson, Wild Bill Hickok, Annie Oakley, Geronimo and Sitting Bull as I read their biographies. In later years I have met many celebrities mostly from the rock and roll world and never asked for an autograph, they were just like me nothing special other than being good at their chosen trade. I admit that I have never understood celebrity worship or the gossip mill that surrounds it.
The elites that I do care about are the ones that have real power, the power to make and decide the law that I must live under. I know the folks I help elect and they know who I am because I call and email in support of real policy and against any form of socialism and I get responses except from my lefty senators, Boxer and Fienstein.
My fellow conservatives we have a mighty tough row to hoe and the weeds are thick and high, time for slingblades and an aggressive swing to clear the way. Hmm, I have to wonder if the urban moonbats even know what a slingblade is while I know every redneck and hillbilly out there does. I am a redneck political junky and believe me we need Mitt Romney, Rudy, John, Newt, and Fred all in the next administration. I am a Mitt Romney supporter for POTUS because he is by far the best qualified, I could care less if he hunts or not as long as he supports my right to. He knows money and can manage our unreal budget, he knows what we face abroad in islamo-fascism and does not shrink from telling it straight up. He is a family man and knows the value of marriage as it should be, man and woman. He is prolife but understands the POTUS really has no voice in the matter unless a bill comes to his desk for signature. Mitt is the man no matter what the pundits tell you.
