The elitists love to confuse academic achievement with intelligence. A cousin of mine who just passed away had multiple degrees, spoke five languages, and was an uber lib drama queen who did not possess enough common sense to come in out of the rain.
oh yeah...a leftist dogwhistle!
They ALL know what that means...code for stupid and deplorable.
They know it when they hear it.
[Same crappy argument they use: Make America great again is a dogwhistle...]
It’s funny how Hillary has the majority of those with college degrees, but a sharp minority of those who make over $75k. So the majors of those Hillary supporters with college degrees are likely in useless SJW degrees you could get out of a Cracker Jack box with no real world value. I would love to see a breakdown by specific degree. My bet is that those with valued degrees that (STEM, accounting/finance) heavily lean towards Trump, while those in basket weaving, arts/history/languages/psych/social worker/Afro Deviant Feminist studies etc. are nearly all in for Hillary.
As one who graduated from the college rated No. 1, among all coeducational undergraduate schools, the year I graduated, I will affirm before the Almighty that I never, not in four years, encountered one single "Liberal" student, whom I could not dismantle intellectually on any Left/Right issue. Very, very few would even feel lucky enough to try.
The anti-patriots; those like Obama and Clinton, who seek to make America dependent upon a collectivist world order--the Humanist day dreamers--are the most pathetic of all; for they would reduce all of the earth's peoples to the cultural equivalent of inhabitants in a series of programed ant hills.
This is not the only age in human history, where a whole culture was hijacked by demagogues and/or charlatans. But the followers of those demagogues & charlatans do not achieve greater credibility by reciting the places where they were indoctrinated.
“Thomas Edison, the most innovative of them all”
How could I have overlooked him??
But you got the message.
Love that “college is the place where brain cells go to die” line. College is okay for some, but it ain’t the only way.
In many of the subjects, you are right on the money. On the other hand, one who is not susceptible to being indoctrinated, can learn a lot about what is wrong with the artificial, cloudborne dogma being promoted.
Masters-level, White male pediatric ER nurse here. TRUMP 2016!
Yeah. That’s what happened to my middle daughter.
“qualifies them to be a Starbuck’s barista”
If they’re lucky enough to get that job.
Too many wind up living in Mom’s basement, posting liberal garbage on “Media Matters” or the like.
I salute your exemplary educational achievement, Ohioan.
I can’t tell if you’re a Trumpist or not, but I suspect you’re on our side.
I’’m a white male with two undergrad degrees both with a 4.0 GPA and graduated Summa Cum Laude, working on a master’s degree now. I’m all in for President Trump. I work in the broadcast media.
Anyone want to question MY academic achievement??
President TRUMP 2016!!!!!
I’m with others here - I have some kick-butt degrees, but I had my politics set even before setting foot in college, thanks to parents that thought it made sense to ‘guide’ their children, rather than leaving them wallowing just so others (i.e., professors) would instead ‘guide’ them.
Trump was a no-brainer for me, on demographics alone it wasn’t even close compared to the rest of the bunch.
There are about 1000 Jews remaining in Iran. They are left alone to practice their religion and likely live decent lives. In the government’s eyes they serve a purpose - to prove that the Iranian government is tolerant of other religions and cultures (which is total BS, of course, but it works there).
The GOPe is INCREDIBLY STUPID to not understand that their party will be reduced to the status of Iran’s Jews if they lose ONE MORE ELECTION. With the courts in Hillary’s pocket, she will be able to interpret any law as she sees fit. There will simply NOT BE A “NEXT TIME”. There will a SOLID DEMOCRAT MAJORITY in the country, as her first priority is getting the Illegals into the voting booth.
It says something about our colleges that people with degrees (and those running the GOPe) cannot understand this - and people without degrees also likely don’t understand the demographics...but at least they’re able to sense that something is VERY, VERY, WRONG with the direction of this country, and they understand the threat of Hillary much, much, better than the those with the parchment.
This is the same kind of things resentful confederates said of free slaves.
I was only able to afford 3 years of collage and never finished my Electrical Engineering degree. Lockheed Martin classified me as a Senior Manufacturing Engineer and I wrote several repair plans for the Shuttle Atlantis in 2007 as part of a special team before I retired with 25 years in the Shuttle program. My electrical designs, test procedures and manufacturing plans were used until the Shuttle was retired. It didn’t hurt that I had a year of electronics training from the Air Force. Being able to do it on paper is one thing. Being able to do it in the real world very different!!
I am voting for Mr. Trump!!!!!!!!
“those in basket weaving, etc.”
Some go to college to acquire the knowledge necessary to excel in their chosen field, while too many go to college just to go to college.
My "achievement" was really not so exemplary. I was a Conservative in High School, and went to Oberlin precisely as a training school for fighting back against a trend that was already far along. My advantage is that I see more of the context of issues than those trying to force their cloud borne wish lists on other people. It is an immense advantage.
“never finished my Electrical Engineering degree.”
I would conclude that you used your lack of education well!
I took a year of college in a 2yr local campus. Then the college asked me to teach night courses in computer science. This was in the 80’s and I ended up teaching for 9 years 5 different programming languages, logic & design, operations courses. When asked if I had a degree I always said No, but I did launch over 2,000 students towards theirs.
