before it’s all said and done, this scrawny huckster will us all at each other’s throats.
One of the better blog/posts I read in a while.....nothing like a good “historical” anecdote to illustrate a modern day truth.
Highly “educated” MEANS Hightly INDOCTRINATED
As a bit of an old timer who just spent the last two years completing a degree I left unfinished years ago, I can vouch for the ignorance of far too many of the college students and unfortunately some of the professors are even worse.
Go to GoogleFight. This site pits two keywords or phrases against each other, and the one that comes up with the most search results wins.
Enter "stupid voters" and "highly educated voters" and see what the winner is.
Thanks for the great post.
Group propaganda.
We wish to be though of as “highly educated”, intelligent, thinkers.
The group we wish to belong to all are voting Obama.
If I want to be in that group, I must support Obama too, or the group will not accept me.
It is always the same. The media claims that the “highly educated voters” - read that “professors at liberal colleges” - all vote for the ‘Rat candidate and us low class idiots vote for the GOP.
ping for later
Our 'elite' schools, the exact definition probably escapes all but those it self defines, have become the grist mill for our letter bureaucracies since Franklin Roosevelt, and accelerated with John Kennedy. Their 'old school networks' are second to none and regardless of their regional origin, they appear to exit school shaped to become the ideal left-leaning, big government is good, apparatchik bureaucrat. They work equally well in the various governmental agencies, the foundations, academia, legal profession and journalism.
God help us all, I am sure the majority mean well and seek to do a good job. It is just that they work to their training, always seeking more power to do more good. As Tolkein and Lord Acton have memorably written, power, even with the best of intentions, feeds the need for more power and corruption can make that power come easier.
Our Founders, wise in the way of autocrats and tyrants, strove to limit our government by limiting its powers, making it strive against itself in 3 branches and making it free of hereditary nobility. The fact that the majority of the legislature has safe seats (as a rule) from their self-serving reapportion schemes, the bureaucracy is almost permanent below the executive appointment levels and the fact that the current POTUS is the son of a former POTUS with another active candidate being the wife of another POTUS and several states have 'family tradition' control of governmental offices, makes me think that we have run out our luck in this area.
What do the most educated do? Why they educate. Teachers for Obama sounds more like it.
More educated does not mean more intelligent.
