Good grief

A new Harris Poll released today revealed the following, stunning statistics:

Forty-one percent (41%) of U.S. adults believe that Saddam Hussein had "strong links to Al Qaeda."

Twenty-two percent (22%) of adults believe that Saddam Hussein "helped plan and support the hijackers who attacked the United States on September 11."

Twenty-six percent (26%) of adults believe that Iraq "had weapons of mass destruction when the U.S. invaded."

Twenty-four percent (24%) of all adults believe that "several of the hijackers who attacked the United States on September 11 were Iraqis."

Despite the slightly optimistic news that these percentages "have declined sharply since the questions were asked in February 2005," the results are still absolutely shocking. They indicate that America has become a nation of willful dunces, blissfully content in their sheep-like ignorance to remain misinformed by the President, his Administration, and a contemptibly complicit MSM which has obviously been unsuccessful in dispelling the lies reflected by those statistics.

Good grief, America. This amazing level of stupidity is embarrassing and inexcusable. It's incomprehensible that these percentages could exist in an era where we are literally surrounded by information that clearly refutes each of those topics polled. I can't even find the words to describe such widespread idiocy.

Guess it really is time to begin seriously examining those Canadian real estate listings...
