I’ve said many times that there are many ignorant people in the world, but fewer stupid people. Most of them are liberal politicians and those who believe in them. “Stupidity is not lack of facts, but willful failure to face facts. That’s why Sir Arthur Clarke remarked that ignorance is forgivable, stupidity is not.” (Steven W. Browne) I say it differently, but the meaning is the same. “Ignorance is just lack of information. Stupidity is HAVING the information, but refusing to acknowledge it.” An example is the left’s tendency to call ALL dissenters to Obama’s disastrous policies “racist.” They know better, but it’s easier to ignore the facts and try to “marginalize” those dissenters without answering their charges.
