Is America ready for this?

 I love Jon Stewart!

51% were either ready or asleep because he was re-elected in 04

That was the moment I gave up on this country Grelo.  Frankly, it deserves him.

Stewart rocks!

I don't know.  First off, he was never elected in the first place...he was selected by The Supremes,  cronies of his dad's.  Second off, I really don't believe he was 'elected' the second time either...it was more like it was 'stolen.'   But, I'll admit the dumbing down of America (which seems to get more popular on a daily basis) has caused me to lose faith in my country women and men.   That does make me feel a little low.  I don't even recognize my country anymore since it's been FUBAR...and that makes me angry.

 lol i love it

I sure hear you, Widdle. If we are to get our country back, we need to make being stupid uncool. I don't know when dumb became fashionable, but we need to ignore (I wanted to say "reject," but that seemed too extreme) the Paris Hiltons of the world and start glorifying people who actually do something positive.

You go, Jon Stewart!

The dumbing down of America is extremely sad especially when you consider everyone has access to free primary & secondary education. Also, most everyone has access to the internet and TV -- both of which do have many ways to learn. Sadly, what is most attractive is stupidity.

"Reject" work's for me, Aashlee!  We are in an extremely dangerous place right now which calls for extreme measures to salvage what's left.  If anything.   If we don't reject this 'dumb and dumber' mentality how can things possibly get any better?

 Doesn't sound extreme to me either, it sounds right on!

Jon always has a way  of wording things just right.

I guess I want to reject the stupidity without rejecting my fellow countrymen. I guess what I want is to guide them, not leave them behind in the ditch. Patriotism is more than saluting a flag or reciting a pledge; it's making a commitment to one another. I want all of us to get better, be better, and prosper.

So, here's to intelligent people who have the smarts to help us all.

Larry King is an idiot to ask the question but Jon Stewart hit the nail on the head!!! *LOL*

It's a non-question to me, too. People are people who should be judged by the content of their character.
