Palin takes John Kerry to task for his joke about those who don’t study getting “stuck in Iraq,†but the story of her own son proves that he was right. Track joined the military after deciding that he didn’t want to bum around after high school like his friends. This implies that he wasn’t smart enough for college.
We’ve managed a neat trick in this country: to raise up generation upon generation who never know what it is to sacrifice for something bigger than themselves. People whose biggest inconvenience is a long commute to an office. People who see and read a great deal but understand nothing about how the world works.
Richard Hoste, you will never know, nor understand how profoundly ignorant you are.
You have my pity.
