The Demise of Democracy

As a philosophy professor I am very seldom without words; but this video clip leaves me speechless.

Last weekend Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin staged a “rally” in Washington, DC. From reports, it isn’t obvious what the rally was about.

Here is clip full of interviews with people in attendance. After watching the clip I am even less sure what the rally was about.

I challenge anyone to find a shred of reasoning here. Political thinkers often say that democracy requires an educated public.

How about a public has maintains some connection with reality?

  Here’s what those in attendance had to say.
