The culture wars are over and the idiots have won. That is a veteran journalist’s caustically funny, righteously angry lament about the glorification of ignorance in america.

The three Great Premises of Idiot America:

– Any theory is usually valid if it markets books, soaks up ratings, or otherwise movements devices. – Anything could be accurate if somebody says it loudly plenty of. – Fact is that which more than enough people believe. Truth is determined by how fervently they believe it.

Charles Pierce provides led a profession- about Idiot America: How Stupidity Became a Virtue in the Property of the Free long quest to separate the smart through the pap, and today it is time to try and salvage the Property of the Enlightened, buried somewhere within this new House of the Uninformed. Along with his razor-sharp wit and erudite reasoning, Pierce delivers a gut-wrenching, side-splitting lament about the glorification of ignorance in the United States and what sort of country founded on intellectual attention has deteriorated into a country of simpletons more likely to vote for an American Idol contestant than a presidential applicant.

With Idiot America, Pierce’s thunderous denunciation is also a secret proactive approach, as he hopes that, somehow, being intelligent will stop being a stigma which pinheads will once again be pitied, not really celebrated.
