“And I truly believe that—unlike so many liberal pundits—he knows the Source of wisdom is not located in his own mind! “
I tend to agree. It must be that *miracle* of grace.
;-))))
Actually, higher education CAN provide the environment for improving your IQ....IF the brain is properly engaged in the learning process...and does not simply and passively accept all information presented as correct.

“...Carney invited political scientists into Perrys 2006 gubernatorial reelection bid. He allowed them to create, in effect, a laboratory for experiments testing different forms of campaigning. “
I thought Romney was a skillful political operator but after reading that, I am pretty sure Perry will win this thing.
How many teachers are able to provide that environment? I can count on one hand how many good teachers I’ve had through 13 years of schooling.
I think they also present us with model specimens of GK Chestertons famous quote:
The first effect of not believing in God, is that you lose your common sense.
Ain’t that the truth! The left has replaced God with Government as the supreme authority. A dangerous path indeed.....
No: this is a common misconception.
In Columbus's day most educated people knew that the world was round. They also knew the size of the world and also knew that China was way too far away for Columbus to get to.
What they didn't know was that there was a whole Continent waiting to be discovered.
CERN has demonstrated that the suns magnetic field is responsible for decreased cosmic rays, which reduces cloud formation. Global warming is a result of the suns activity.
See the following article: http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/jamesdelingpole/100102296/sun-causes-climate-change-shock/
FRiend, that's not the quote.
"When people stop believing in God, they dont believe in nothing: they believe in anything" G.K. Chesterton.
He went to describe about how such people start believing in mutually conflicting ideas, and/or change their beliefs every week - its a real tour de force. I think it's found in 'Orthodoxy'.
Actually, my quote was correct and is from one of his Fr. Brown books.
;-)
No, climate change is caused by SUVs and coal power plants.
Al Gore said so.

Nooooo!
Cow farts!
`Mexican standoff’: Perry doesn’t think we can return millions of Mexican cooks, while the liberals think we can actually lower the Earth’s temperature by eating less Mexican food ...
On second thought, maybe they’re both right.
CW, I went to the actual article and read the entire thing. It was really interesting to see how Rick Perry brought in political scientists who would challenge traditional politics, and it was even more interesting to see the guts Rick Perry exhibited to follow their innovative campaigning suggestions. It will be refreshing to see no more “politics as usual”.
The garbage global warming nonsense the author tried to compare with the use of innovative political changes never made it to first base though.
Thanks for the article!
If Perry was REALLY smart he’d hire Delinpole on his staff, or, if James refuses, someone who at least reads Delinpole regularly. (Like me.)
