It is becoming apparent even to the “intellectuals” yhay Soetoro, while indubitably an intellectual, has not much actual intelligence by which to intellectualize and casts a bad light on the brainier type. The truth is that Intellectualism is too often an abandonment of sense and even intelligence in favor of fantasy.
“Intellectuals” have no ability to distinguish between what sounds good to them and what will actually work or is even possible. Their motto should be, “Don’t confuse me with facts”. When confronted with facts that conflict with their belief system they don’t change their beliefs, they refuse to recognize the facts like a woman who has just married some rich fool far above her station in life and now refuses to recognize her former sweatshop coworker when she passes her in the street.
