    According to a survey from the libertarian Cato Institute think tank…

    This is all a bunch of ideological bullshit, isn’t it?

    This civic ignorance extends to basic governance: Nearly 60% do not know the main purpose of the U.S. Constitution is to limit government power…

    Yep.

    From the bottom of my heart, Cato and NPR and all these smug dipshits who want to call everyone else ignorant because we’ve got better things to do than give a shit about their tired ass mythologies can go fuck themselves. Fucking morons wonder why people don’t have more respect and reverence for the country like the last 50-60 fucking years of history didn’t happen.

      I think they would argue that it is the ignorance of the constitution and the lack of respect which has made the decline possible. The lack of accountability especially!
