About Those "Highly Educated" Voters
The Virginian/The Diplomad ^ | 5/28/2008 | Moneyrunner

Have a few minutes to spare? Go to "Google," type in the phrase "highly educated voters," hit "Search News." Go ahead. We'll wait . . . OK, what do you get? All sorts of stories about Obama voters, and how he attracts the "highly educated." You will get the same from the pundits on network and cable news: lots of blather about how Obama appeals to "highly educated" Americans.

That, of course, is just more MSM "spin doctor" nonsense and we conservatives let them get away with it. We heard the same song when John "Xmas in Cambodia" Kerry ran for President, to wit, the "highly educated" went for Kerry the ignorant ones went for Bush. Every time you hear that phrase, "highly educated" substitute the phrase "attended a lame liberal college or university." That's what we are really talking about. Given the state of higher education in the world, including in our own beloved Republic, spending four years in a typical "liberal arts" institution generally qualifies you for . . . uh . . . well, not much, except, of course, to boast that you are "highly educated." And that just don't mean a whole hill of beans today. Let me explain.

A few years ago, more than I care to mention, I headed a large office at the State Department. I got tasked with hiring a couple of Presidential Management Interns (PMIs). These PMIs come from the elite of the elite student body at the elite of the elite universities. ...

The author gave them his "World War 2 test." The test, and the results are fascinating.

Moral of the story: do not accept the mantra that Obama voters are "highly educated." They just went to "institutions of higher learning," you know, like the one where the Weatherman terrorist, Bill Ayers, teaches.

Are the 90+% of his black supporters “highly educated”? I didn’t think so. How many are even high school educated?

I invited the applicants for interviews. These PMI wannabes came off as slick and somewhat rude. I noted something among my subjects, a sense of entitlement, they all, to varying degrees, emitted a message along the lines of "Why are you bothering me with this silly interview? I am obviously brilliant. I have a degree from Columbia. I am not going to spend my whole life as you have in this stupid bureaucracy. I just need this to add to my resume. I am in a hurry."

Yep! I too have run into that smirky sense of superior "entitlement".

Obama Hussein gets the "Women's Studies" and Liberal Arts majors at colleges and universities.

He also gets these voters.

Highly educated in BS worthless degrees maybe. The kind of BS majors some women take in college just to meet husbands.

I have degrees in nuke and mechanical engineering and it helps me know that Obama is even MORE dangerous. People I know in the defense and nuke industry are TERRIFIED of a ‘rat administration. Our insane enemies will not negotiate and the rats are fully out of touch.

Thanks for posting this. Mainly just so I can know that someone from Diplomad is still out there and posting again. If you have a ping list, put me on it.

As for “highly educated”, I remember the pride I felt when I took the GRE and found out I placed in the 99th percentile for students in my major. Then I found out that education majors were the lowest of the low academically.

Being notified that I outperformed 99 percent of education majors is kinda like being told I weigh less than my 400 pound cousin. Who doesn't?
