The 20%

This excerpt from my last piece bears repeating--and cries out for understanding:

According to a recent poll, 20% of Americans still want to believe President Obama is a Muslim, when he is an active, professing Christian. (As though it should be a problem if he were.) Most of those same people apparently want to believe he is a socialist, when he is an advocate of a robust, creative and intelligently regulated free-market economy--but one that also funds the social programs that identify a modern, advanced society, those necessary to strengthen, stabilize and perpetuate it. (And they don't appear to know the difference.) But there's always the 20%.
