NPR reporter doesn't know history of "Come and Take It"

"An NPR reporter decided to mark this anniversary with a story about how the phrase has been stolen by Second Amendment activists, “with no appreciation of its origins.” Some local residents of modern-day Gonzales, we’re told, “think it’s been cheapened—and they want it back.”

But neither the hapless NPR reporter nor the several anti-gun residents of Gonzales interviewed for the story know the actual origin of the phrase, or why its application to the ongoing national debate about gun control and the Second Amendment is entirely appropriate—and historically accurate."

Some people have never seen 300, nor read classical history about the Battle of Thermopylae.

We cannot really blame them for their willful  ignorance.  After all, the media and the liberal education policies have dumbed down America to the lowest possible denominator.

Idiocracy is here.

And the original NPR story is proof of it.
