There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.

Look, Dana, they're trying to portray Border Patrol agents and ICE agents as Gestapo, Nazi, and many other words.
Stephen:
Yes, do not compare ICE or Border Patrol agents to the Nazis. That's an unfair comparison. The Nazis were willing to show their faces.

I suppose an honest man shines more in politics than he does elsewhere. But shouldn't the senator keep his word or the president. Shouldn't he set a high example in keeping one's word, so extraordinary a thing when the person achieving that feat is the first citizen of a civilized nation.
