lets take a walk back in time fr a moment people During the 1956 presidential campaign, an enthusiastic supporter called out to the Democratic candidate, Adlai Stevenson: Senator, you have the vote of every thinking person. Stevenson wistfully called back: Thats not enough, madam, we need a majority! Once known as the silent majority, now as the nations low-information voters, these citizens perform their civic duty on election day. But they have no real clue for whom or what they are voting. Yes, when it comes to their occupational callings, investment, or sport picks, they may be highly rational. Its just politics and public affairs that hold no interest for them. It has long been hoped that the silent majority would one day wake and grow politically engaged. In 2010, the Tea Party Movement did just that. But it yet speaks as no more than a marginal voice. The majority remains politically asleep. And this silence understandably draws the ire of those who can see the fiscal calamities to come and care deeply about the countrys future. But perhaps the community of the concerned should reconsider its position. The know-nothings may yet hold the key to taking our country back.
