ARTIFICIAL STUPIDITY: Is thinking now obsolete?Rivera admits, then, that the facts surrounding the Obama Children's Tsunami are too corrosive to the Left to be allowed before the public. So corrosive that a civil war would be justified, if the public knew.
"Geraldo Rivera has denounced the Drudge Report for carrying news stories that show some of the negative consequences and dangers from allowing vast numbers of youngsters to enter the country illegally and be spread across the country by the Obama administration.
"Some of these youngsters are already known to be carrying lice and suffering from disease. Since there have been no thorough medical examinations of most of them, we have no way of knowing whether, or how many, are carrying deadly diseases that will spread to American children when these unexamined young immigrants enter schools across the country.
"The attack against Matt Drudge has been in the classic tradition of demagogues. It turns questions of fact into questions of motive. Geraldo accuses Drudge of trying to start a “civil war.”
"Back when masses of immigrants from Europe were entering this country, those with dangerous diseases were turned back from Ellis Island. Nobody thought they had a legal or a moral “right” to be in America or that it was mean or racist not to want our children to catch their diseases."
I have considerable admiration for Thomas Sowell. This time I think he's wrong: it's only the Left that no longer thinks; the Left knows that the Other thinks straight and that is to be feared. The fear Rivera has is that rational people will react viscerally to the Left's pursuit of unthinking, dogmatic ideology. He's right.
If truth is an enemy to the Left, then so is Drudge.
