So which Ben Stein should we believe today?

"...It seems to me it is a testament to the complete collapse of education that people can have such preposterous policies as an end to free trade and think that’s going to help America. It’s just startling that: a) the candidates know so little and; b) that the voters have not been better informed about this. The American education system is in a state of freefall collapse so that certainly explains a lot,” he says..."

The guy who hired himself out to a creationist movie decries the state of US education.

How about you clean up your own steaming pile of misinformation first, Ben?

That's something Ferris Bueller would say: "Party before country. Always."

There are many options. Neither of the above two are good ones.

Listen to this video. In the beginning, Stein says Trump doesn't know a GD thing about the economy, that he wasn't a good businessman, and that he started off with a lot of money giving an big advantage in life.

He likes that Trump "is a proud American" and "he'd be good for national security" and a main reason he's for Trump is because of the thugs protesting against him.


Seriously bad reasons, imo. But the logic is very similar to what we read here on CDF all the time. Stinking thinking.....
