Ed Shultz recently blasted Glenn Beck for suggesting we should abolish a public school system that engages in outright indoctrination. Beck is correct that the government monopoly on schools is (and has for some time) creating uninformed, juvenile citizens dependent on the Nanny State.

A Washington Times article describes a recent Harris poll that diminishes those who view the president as a socialist by lumping them together with those who believe he is the “anti-Christ” and “he wants the terrorists to win.” Why not juxtapose those who believe Elvis is still alive and the moon landing was staged?

Rasmussen Reports found in a survey of 1,000 “likely voters” that:
“Fifty-five percent (55%) of U.S. voters continue to think that media bias is a bigger problem in politics today than big campaign contributions, identical to the finding in August 2008.”
