But a new Princeton study suggests that the opposite could be the case &#8211; and that people who have no interest at all could be vital to the working of a democratic society.  The uninformed are essential to democracy because their apathy helps to dilute the effect of powerful minority interests &#8211; for instance, highly educated elites &#8211; who would otherwise dominate public life.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_57499\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/obamaUUHHHH_large.jpg\"\/><BR\/>Now, I\u2019m gonna have to study this.  I just saw this.  &#8220;The researchers used animal research, mathematical models and computer simulations. They report that in animal groups, uninformed individuals &#8212; those with no strong feelings on a situation\u2019s outcome &#8212; tend to side, simply, which whichever group is the largest.&#8221; So now you people who don\u2019t know anything are being compared to animals.  How do you study an animal that doesn\u2019t know anything? How do you study an uninformed animal, for crying out loud?  How do you know?  What, does the animal tell you it doesn\u2019t know anything?  The uninformed are manipulated by the elites.  The uninformed manipulate the elite?  It\u2019s the uninformed who end up being the serfs. <\/line><\/p>\n<p>Anyway, this just cleared, I\u2019ll have to study this and form my analysis when I have the appropriate amount of time.  You know what I think? I think they\u2019re trying to justify the Democrat base.  They\u2019re taking the uninformed and saying they\u2019re key. The uninformed, the ignorant are the key to a democracy.  But I don\u2019t know yet how.  If you want to make that assertion, would you say, &#8220;Well, maybe because they\u2019re uninformed you can more easily influence them. Since they have no core belief system, they\u2019re more easily influenced.&#8221;  But since this is a media study, I, of course, am obviously profoundly skeptical.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  You know, I don\u2019t need to wait \u2019til tomorrow to analyze this bogus piece of BS from the UK Daily Mail that the uninformed are the key to a successful democracy.  Yeah, from the standpoint of the Democrat Party.  I was gonna wait \u2019til tomorrow \u2019til I read the whole thing to analyze it for you, but I don\u2019t need to wait \u2019til tomorrow.  Isn\u2019t it due to ignorant and uninformed voters that we got Obama?  Aren\u2019t the Democrats trying to dumb down everybody in our schools?  For what purpose?  Brainwashing them.  No question in my mind.  There\u2019s no other reason or way to explain what they\u2019ve done to our education system.  And so now we dutifully get a story in the UK Daily Mail where they\u2019ve compared the average Obama voter to a bunch of animals in a study.  By that I mean the uninformed. <\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s nobody who is informed properly on capitalism in America who would vote for Obama unless they personally benefit from it and don\u2019t care what happens to the country in the process.  And that\u2019s half of Wall Street, at least, and all of the welfare recipient class. (interruption) Oh, damn straight, Snerdley, I mean that from the bottom of my heart.  I know the people on Wall Street will put themselves before the country \u2019cause they think the country\u2019s always gonna be there. <\/p>\n<p>Damn straight, if they can make a cozy corporate deal, crony corporate deal with Obama that enriches their corporation or themselves, sure, they\u2019ll do that, over doing what\u2019s right for the country, because they think the country\u2019s always gonna be there.  This is their one golden opportunity. Of course Obama plays off, there\u2019s no question. But somebody who genuinely cares about the country and is informed would not vote for Obama.  The uninformed voter is the Democrat target audience.  The uninformed voter, the stupid, ignorant voter is the victim in American society.  And that\u2019s who the Democrats go after.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: From the UK Daily Mail: &#8220;The Uninformed Are the Key Ingredient for a Working Democracy, Study Finds &#8212; A well-informed, interested public is often hailed as the &#8216;ideal\u2019 of democracy.
