That Republicans are better informed about politics is obvious to anyone who knows Democrats.
Two things are compelling in this survey (What the Public Knows about the Political Parties) by the Pew Research Center:
- More Republicans correctly identify Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the “father” of modern America as a Democrat than do Democrats who arguably worship him, and
- The left is in high-dudgeon over this poll, smearing Pew from pillar to post. This is the same Pew Research Center that is widely considered to be “center slightly left” but generally fair, much like the Gallup Organization.
The loony left spends countless hours at the academy crafting damnation of Conservatives and Republicans as an unworthy subspecies, veritable Troglodytes, if you will. And, for all of its effort, it audience doesn’t know the party of its patron saint.
Who did they call stupid?
