The Basic Flaw in Neoconservatism -- Populist America.com

The Basic Flaw in Neoconservatism

Aside from being stupid? Well, there's this little paper called the Declaration of Independence...

"All men are given unalienable rights by God. The sole purpose of government is to protect those rights. When a government instead abuses those rights, then the people have the right and the duty to overthrow it and create a new government. 

Some Americans today are so stupid and/or ignorant of their country's history that if you asked them if people have the right to overthrow a government, they would reply in the negative. I had a professor who asked that question, and in a class of more than 30 students, only four of us said "Yes." 

For God's sake, if you're going to claim to be an American, at least read the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Federalist Papers."

The neo-cons count on you not having read them and if you're voting Republican, maybe never even having heard of them. 

Ignorance is bliss... to neo-cons.
