Cultivated Ignorance is a repubican cash crop
They rely on it to maintain their base.

Birther is but the latest example.

1. Why do you think they are so opposed to funding education?
They likes 'em dumb as rocks.

2. what kills me is -
they use propaganda to do it and it's very badly done - easily disproved in this day and age - yet the ignorant conservative base just eats it up - it's like they LIKE being lied to - it's so fucking disturbing

3. Actually, they don't want to be lied to. But they would rather that if it validates their own ......

5. It's aggravating to hear how "good" they are at it. Bullshit; those who it resonates with....
....are ignorant and hateful. Eager beavers to accept the skewed messages as truth.

4. You'd think people would want to verify the shocking "news" they hear . . .
. . . such as "the Obama plan will require elderly people to be euthanized."

Nope. They just buy into it at face value. Too stupid, too lazy, too indoctrinated in RW talking points.
