Ignorance creates confusion and division.

[kentuck]

We need clarity and simplification.

This confusion and division created the "Tea-Baggers". They operate out of ignorance. They know nothing about the healthcare bill. They know nothing about the deficits. They know nothing about history. They only know what they are told to know. And they are told just enough to stay confused. They are simple pawns in a game.

So they gather all their knowledge together in angry groups and it doesn't add one iota to any of their understanding. So they become even more angry. How can we cope with such ignorance? Is it that they don't want to understand?

1. "And they are told just enough to stay confused."

Sounds like DU some mornings. :D

2. I think they are driven by racism. As such knowledge and facts are unwelcome

as it would conflict with their irrationally held belief that a black man is incapable of being a good President.

3. Yup

4. I'm also starting to think this is a "social" event for them. They probably

have few friends and this is a way to socialize. I'm just guessing but they really gravitate towards each other with a sophomoric get together meme...and call it patriotism...LOL.
