Thread: Debate #3! Its about time McCain took the fight to Obama!

I always liked the way my father put it:

"Ignorance is not knowing, Stupidity is not knowing and not caring."

Instead, we have people who revel in their ignorance, are proud that they have no cognizance of the world around them, relish their xenophobia, disdain the tuition of others with broader learning and experiences, and all the while attempting to force their beliefs on others.

Looking at the GOP today, Greeley, Bovay and the others would be enraged, Lincoln would be weeping.
