This election may be the real showdown between the producers and the non-producers in our society.

"The real problem the elite media has with Gov. Palin is that she is not a product of the Ivy League or its eastern liberal arts college cousins. How can someone that hasn't read the same 50 books, and studied under the same leather-patch-elbowed radical professors be taken seriously? On the other hand, those of us that earned BS degrees from land-grant universities in fly-over country have much the same lack of respect for the coastal French Art History crowd. They are ignorant of basic scientific principles, economics, mathematics and other hard subjects that make up the knowledge base that makes the free world work. This election may be the real showdown between the producers and the non-producers in our society."

Brilliant and worth repeating. I'm going to send it around to friends.

"I don't think the lower 48 media pack will faze Governor Palin one bit."

Wait a minute. Shouldn't that be lower 55?

"This election may be the real showdown between the producers and the non-producers in our society."

As McCain said on the Leno show (paraphrasing), "Pretty much agree on the problems - the difference is in how we go about solving them."

IMHO - This election is capitalism vs. socialism, and Palin is a big threat because she is, in addition to her other assets, and unlike the Dem female leadership, a leader who believes in re-allocation of existing funds instead of simply increasing taxes (in 2008 that makes a politician a "maverick"). A good contrast would be Palin and Granholm, the governor of Michigan.

Speaking as a man with an M.S. degree from a land-grant university in flyover country: HOORAY!

Liberals are refining their voter fraud tactics as a backup after they attempt to destroy Sarah. When that fails, voter fraud will be their next tactic. The GOP needs to be vigilant and stop their attempts to steal the election.

“Just as sunlight through a magnifying glass becomes concentrated to a burning intensity, so too will the media’s focus either destroy Mrs. Palin or strengthen her to a tempered resolve”.

...my money’s on “strengthen her to a tempered resolve”. It actually has!

How can someone that hasn't read the same 50 books, and studied under the same leather-patch-elbowed radical professors be taken seriously? On the other hand, those of us that earned BS degrees from land-grant universities in fly-over country have much the same lack of respect for the coastal French Art History crowd. They are ignorant of basic scientific principles, economics, mathematics and other hard subjects that make up the knowledge base that makes the free world work.

It should be emphasized that the young men and women who study at backwater schools and Christian schools read things like Plato and Aristotle, Kant, Hume, Berkeley, Locke, and the other classical authors whose writings constitute the Western cannon.

You would not even recognize the names of the 50 books that are read at elite East coast schools, and they will be remembered only by historians of western culture 200 years hence trying to understand the intellectual foundations of loonies. In fact, for those of you who think Marx is what underlies their intellectual foundations, Marx is not read either. Marx was actually a respectable academic thinker. Wrong, yes, but respectable. The filth and slime that passes for great thinking is beyond comprehension.

But the author of this piece is wrong about the French Art History crowd, because this group of self-loathing, god loathing country loathing cretins don't understand French Art History either. You see, the French have always had a strong respect for classical learing and they are Catholic, and so in order to understand French Art History, you have to understand the bible, and Aeneas and Plato and Rousseau and Montaigne, and that gets this crowd back to the same old problem. They are trying to extirpate history, not interpret it.

Is it ok if we skip the Budweiser? Real beer (malted barley, hops, water and yeast) was not invented in DC anyway.
