Ignorance Is Bliss?

Is ignorance really bliss?  Apparently many Americans think so.  Either that or they're just too ignorant to know that they're ignorant.  Many Americans are so buffaloed by the liberals and mainstream media that they don't understand that the Liberals and their anti-American anti-freedom anti-opposition agenda is what's causing all the problems in our country today.  It's so frustrating that so many people are hoodwinked.

From Rush Limbaugh.com:

"One of the most frustrating things about life in America today is how seemingly ignorant so many Americans seem to be about what's happening to them. I mean, they're living their lives, they're encountering obstacle after obstacle after obstacle -- be it student loan debt, be it no jobs, be it the rising cost of health care, be it cultural rot -- and they, for some reason, don't have the ability or understanding to understand why.

"And even when they're told, oftentimes they reject it. But most of what's happening in this country today that you would consider harder, an additional obstacle in your life? It's the result of policies that have been implemented over the years by people that believe in Big Government. There's some Republicans in this mix, too. But it's predominantly Democrats, it's predominantly liberalism, and it's predominantly done by people who want you and need you less productive, less self-reliant, less individualistic.

"They want you dependent on them. It's their key to holding on to power. But it goes beyond that. They don't just want power for the sake of it. They want power to transform and change. These are people who have never appreciated the miracle that is the United States of America. They've always resented it for whatever social injustice reason that they manufacture or come up with.

"Everybody knows something's not right. ...But for the most part there is a giant sense of unease, a giant sense that things are out of whack, that the nation's in decline. It's just that so many millions don't seem to be able to understand why.

"And that is probably one of the most frustrating things, 'cause I've spent 28 years behind this microphone trying to inform people of that, and it's very difficult. If they're committed leftists, they're not gonna believe it anyway. They're gonna believe some distorted version. They're gonna believe the country's in decline because of racism, or the country's in decline because of bigotry or the country's in decline because we never deserved to be a country anyway because of what we did to Indians, or some stupid explanation they have for feeling negative about things and the country.

"And there's no turning them. I mean, there's no persuading them. There's a lot of people out there in the middle who are not political. That's another thing I wish I could change. The Democrats have politicized everything.

"... My point is they politicize everything. Everything. They politicize virtually everything. Kindergarten's politicized. 

"...They just don't understand that it's the Democrats politicizing everything. So in not conforming with the Regime -- and that's what our presidency today is. It is a Regime, and the media has become the defenders and protectors of the Regime, and you can see it in who they choose to go after. They go after anybody who disagrees, anybody prominent who might be successful in turning people away from the Regime. That's who the media targets.

"So Trump is the current target. He's the GOP presidential nominee. These people on the left are not interested in debate; they're not interested in being coequals in the arena of ideas. They want to eliminate all opposition. They shouldn't have to suffer any opposition. Their arrogant and conceit is such that there is nothing else; there are no opposing views, and no matter how bad things are, "We're still the best. We're the only ones! Conservatism's a disease. It's a plague, and it has to be dealt with."

"...They exist to promote frauds. They exist to invest in fraudulent beliefs and policies. I keep hoping that the American people are gonna experience a great backlash over all this.

"When I stop and think how many Americans I know who readily know something is wrong, something's not right, this is not how America's supposed to be. There's supposed to be economic progress. You're not supposed to get older and things get harder. You're supposed to earn more money. You're supposed to be more successful as you get older. The economy is supposed to grow. Innovation is supposed to take place. None of that is happening. And the reason why is now completing his eighth year in the Oval Office. And somehow...he escapes all accountability." -- Rush Limbaugh October 14, 2016

The Scriptures even back up Rush Limbaugh: "For it must needs be, that there is an opposition in all things." --2 Nephi 2:11.   It's obvious who is running the Democratic Party and controlling all liberals.  Satan's plan does not include opposition.  His plan does not include agency.  Everything the Democrats and liberals stand for is what Satan stands for.  Satan wants complete control of us as do the Democrats/liberals. 

Ignorance is not bliss.  Lack of knowledge is lack of power and lack of control.  "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge" -- Hosea 4:6.  I echo the words of the great prophet Nephi who said, " I am left to mourn because of the unbelief, and the wickedness, and the ignorance, and the stiffneckedness of men; for they will not search knowledge, nor understand great knowledge, when it is given unto them in plainness, even as plain as word can be." --2 Nephi 32:7 

Ignorance is certainly not bliss. Wake up America and see the wolf in the sheep's clothing.

That's my two cents.
