Ignorance = Votes

TNC posts HERE about the baffling bumbling of Rand Paul on the Civil Rights Act. D'argent quote:
I think there's this sense that it's OK to be ignorant about the Civil Rights Act because it's a "black issue." I'm not a lawyer, but my sense is that for a senator to be ignorant of the Civil Rights Act, is not simply to be ignorant of a "black issue," but to be ignorant of one of the most important pieces of legislation ever passed. This isn't like not knowing the days of Kwanzaa, this is like not knowing what caused the Civil War. It's just embarrassing--except Paul is too ignorant to be embarrassed.
Because it's not important WHAT you know, it's that you DON'T KNOW ANYTHING except the book-learning elites in DC are trying to take your guns away.
