Educated to be stupid

This is an interesting perspective with quite a bit of truth. What I understand from the figures in this article and from what I knew before I read this article is that the world is not capable of ruling themselves through democracy. The schools and media have educated the world to be stupid. Therefore the world still needs the educated elite to run the world for them because they haven’t got a clue. By the way, that is what the ruling elite also believe and that is why democracy is a facade put on by the elite to appease the dumbed down commoners.

American Thinker: Who’s Your Daddy? The Psychology of Most People’s Voting

Some voters still embrace their personal freedom and the responsibility that comes along with it. They study the issues and they vote on the issues. But sadly, they are a distinct minority. Don’t expect the American people to vote on issues. They almost never do. My guess is that more people will vote on how the candidate looks than what the candidate thinks. They vote for whoever meets their personal psychological needs. Thus someone like John McCain can lead the Republican Party even though the “party’s issues” run contrary to his thinking.

Most people don’t like Hillary and can’t imagine her as a parent figure, unless it is the ‘Mommy Dearest’ type.

Obama isn’t old enough to inspire parental psychological needs and the religious mass movement that is driving his campaign will probably falter because of weak faith.

McCain is a hero parent who will protect us from danger, and most people like him. Most Republican voters will overlook his policy positions, just like they overlooked strong and protective Rudy Giuliani’s liberalness. Unless McCain screws up and shows signs of being a bad Dad, McCain will probably win.
