The irrationality of the self-described "intellectuals" and left-leaning "education." The Bible predicted this 2000 years ago: "Professing themselves to be wise, they became as fools." Rom 1:22.
The results speak for themselves. When Reagan left the CA governorship in 1976, CA's financial status was equal to the eight wealthiest country in the world. Now and for quite awhile, under these highly "educated types," CA had been continually close to receivership.
This "intellectual elite" irrationality is obviously transferable and is entrenched in Washington D.C where they have gone into multi-trillion dollar debt having no idea where the spent trillions went.
And Regan said it best... “Well, the trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant, but that they know so much that isn’t so.”
