Academic intellectuals are worse than the Taliban
American Thinker ^ | 26 Aug, 2021 | Pamela Garber

Many people like to pose questions when getting to know someone. I was recently asked by a potential suitor what I think about the state of affairs in the world. We are living in times when even a rainstorm could be given nuanced debate regarding whether the raindrops actually occurred and if the word storm is offensive, at best or masculine, at worst.

In the same way that parents who enable drug-addicted offspring are worse than the drug dealers, academic Intellectuals are worse than the Taliban. Terrorists and drug dealers share the commonality of more often than not stating their intentions and following through with clear actions, sans nuance, sans deliberation, and sans contemplation. Driveling academic intellectuals pave the way for threats on the United States to materialize. Enabling parents provide money and foster entitlement for their offspring to sustain a drug habit. Academic intellectuals provide distraction and smokescreens as they turn a plain-as-day fight between good and evil, survival or death, into a Socratic discussion, with verbal layers delicately peeled by minds that canvassed many textbooks.

During a series of news updates, Friday August 20,2021, witty words of meaningful dialogue flowed. From sea to shining sea, our government scheduled an emergency meeting for... Monday, August 23,2021! "First thing Monday morning” says the National Security Advisor with a glare in his eyes and filler in his face. Monday, not Friday, not Friday night, Saturday nor Sunday would be sacrificed for those sacrificing for us. Sometime Monday morning was soon enough. Sometime Monday morning was set to strategize rescuing our stranded Americans in Afghanistan. We got to see a level of patriotism that matches the Greatest Generation’s vigor to fight the Nazis after watching Hitler’s propaganda films. Not quite. We the People were privy to another press conference.

They’re not only worse. They are the Tolleyban. Don’t you just love how the Left pronounces Taliban. You can tell that they admire them. A lot!

I had a coworker who had a saying about these types in our company management. He said "If you could buy them for what they are worth and sell them for what they think they are worth, you would make a lot of money."

If light bulbs could run on arrogance the liberals wouldn’t need their windmills.

Those who are educated beyond their intelligence as Jerry Clower would say.

They have the same demonic spirit but without the guns/bombs/weaponry and without the ability to go around physically killing people....at least not yet.
They’re worse because they’re in a position to shape vulnerable, young minds to their vile ways and have the audacity to call it an “education”. They get paid handsomely by the parents for the destruction of their offsprings’ minds. It’s one heckofva gigl!!
