Stockman walks out of State of the Union

70. Dumbing Down

I get my entertainment from right-wing talk radio, trying to understand how the other side thinks.

Right-wing talk radio is remarkable for its lack of specificity. "Constitution, Constitution, Constitution." "We are the side that respects the Constitution." "With all these executive orders Obama is violating the Constitution." These things are repeated over and over, never supported. They never explain *how* they support the Constitution and we don't. They never say *how* the use of executive orders violates separation of powers. The president's job is to run the executive branch of government. One tool he uses in doing that is executive orders. There is nothing wrong with that.

It's almost as if these talkers *want* their listeners to stop thinking.
