Barack Obama and his supporters sicken me, and hopefully many others, by saying everyone deflects away from the issues. For over 17 months he has yet to outline a single plan , except to dangle "catch Phrases" in front of clueless young voters.

His entire career has been playing cards with entire deck being comprised of race cards. He attempts to hide his actions along with his "trusted" spiritual adviser.

People say he's the new politician , but what comes out of his mouth and what he does are diametrically opposed. Not to mention his past. Rezko , Rev.Wright, his not proud wife.. People in this country elected Bush because he was the kind of guy you'd like to have a beer with. We got what we asked for. Now we have a chance to elect an educated, half-black man. Does that give you goose flesh or what?

The future of our country, and probably the planet, hinge on the outcome of this election.

Needs a “BARF” alert!

Like the only people criticizing Obambi are the uneducated...

I could plausibly argue that the ones supporting the Obamamessiah are the propagandized, not the educated.

[Paleo Conservative]

No, I show contempt for miseducation.

FWIW...

I am obliged to confess I should sooner live in a society governed by the first two thousand names in the Boston telephone directory than in a society governed by the two thousand faculty members of Harvard University.

“We have also seen Americans reinvigorated, surging with a refreshing patriotism that is fully aware of the country’s shortcomings.” What planet is this guy from? Oh, yea, New York.

One of the reasons that people like Obama succeed in this country is that the American public appears to be and behaves as though it’s completely incapable of seperating the Propaganda of the Liberal Media outlets from the true facts of a situation. This article is typical of how the Liberal Elites in the media will package the Obama campaign; they will ignore the facts of Obama, i.e. that he’s a big “S” Socialist and likely a racist as well. If Americans elect this guy, they will have openned the door to unbridled wealth redistribution aimed at relieving the middle class and the upper middle income groups, (not the wealthy, they can’t be hurt because they’ll just leave), from their property and any savings they might have managed to accumulate. And that will then be redistributed, (badly) to the PCP’s, i.e. the Politically Correct Protected Entitlement groups. Worse, by raising taxes on dividends to 40%, they seek to insure that Joe Average white guy will never be able to retire, to otherwise “withdraw” quietly from the system, but rather, will require he toil away endlessly, feeding the evil, corrupt government.

The writer’s idea of “educated” is indoctrination to Communism. And now science is infiltrated by an insane insistence that evolution has more than a passing importance in “hard” science, something most Communists find not just “hard”, but impossible.

[9YearLurker]

Once again, Obama isn’t criticized for being one of the elite, he is criticized for being elitist. Big difference.

[ItsForTheChildren]

Real leadership is something internal, not superficial, and should be judged by substance, policy and solutions that are empathetic but realistic, inventive, fiscally responsible and feasible. No one knows the taste of pie in the sky, but we have all felt and smelled the putrid humidity of hot air.

And he still supports Obama. Amazing.

[Post Toasties]

This article is undistilled BS. An uneducated underclass is mandatory for elitists like Hussein to maintain their positions.

It's Obamaesque elitist LW policies that have lead to inner city 40% high school drop out rates.

[MortMan]

Elite is an attitude,, not an education level. Obama is definitely an elitest - he believes that he, and only he, can make failed policies from the past work because he, and only he, is able to make people believe.

It's too bad that he's also an educated, smooth talking (when scripted, photogenic idiot.

[norton]

I started to get into this but quit after about - far too many - lines.

Obama does represent an elite, an elite by its own definition that believes that only its members can assign proper roles for the rest of us.
Obama's elite knows who should go to school, who should pay taxes, and who is too ignorant to understand the blessings of an all knowing government - assuming that 'they' control it.

(Side note, reading on pre WW2 socialist/communist conflicts; it's interesting to see Hillary assigned to the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy.)

[Tzimisce]

When they say “change”, they don’t mean for themselves. :D

[Aquinasfan]

this basic truth: Education is the key to social mobility in our country.

SCHOOLING is the key to social mobility in this country, not education. BIG difference. Schooling = paper credentials. Education = knowledge. But even paper credentials can only carry a person so far. Is it a coincidence that Dell, Jobs and Gates never finished college?

Ultimately, a person who is well educated will be happier and lead a richer and fuller life than someone who is merely schooled. And there's more to "success" in life than simply earning money.

[The Electrician]

It has become commonplace for the predictable millionaire puppets of Fox News and their conservative talk radio counterparts to present themselves as the voices of the working class in combat with an educated elite from places like Harvard.

There's a lot of rubbish in this article, but I will highlight just one piece of it. Notice the dishonesty by Crouch here. He uses "millionaire" as an epithet to characterize his stereotyped view of Fox News and talk radio commentators. Yet I don't see him using the same epithet to taint his saint Obama, the millionaire.

Education has always been viewed as suspect by everyone from slave owners to totalitarians. Wherever in the world you find them, they share one hostility: They hate books.

Actually it is other peoples' wealth that has always been viewed as suspect by everyone from slave owners to totalitarians to every flavor of leftist (such as Crouch). Wherever in the world you find them, they share one hostility: They hate the wealthy. (except for themselves, that is)

Crouch clearly reveals his totalitarian nature in this article.

[Philo-Junius]

Stanley Crouch seems to be casting Obama as the erudite Adlai Stevenson running against the boorish Eisenhower.

Well, America made the right choice last time.

[HighlyOpinionated]

On the barfometer, this is definitely a B..A..R..F!

Elitists are like the "can you hear me now" man . . . they see all the "little folks" or in ObamaSlama "white folks" standing around merely to serve them in their endeavor to prove they are worthy of their own praise.

BARF indeed. The writer is from the planet Barf, it's on the other side of the moon.

Barack Hussein Obama is the epitome Race Card. He uses it deftly. He allows everyone's racial bias to determine his lineage as African (Negro), when it is Kenya ARAB. He wrote lies in his books to cover himself. He could and should have decided as a teenager to accept his ARAB lineage rather than have all the emotional trauma of trying to become a "black" man. He is not black. He is ARAB and there is no "color" to ARAB. His father when working for Jomo Kenyatta is described as ARAB. Not a color, just ARAB.

And I think that is why he is so angry and bitter. He knows he is living a lie. He knows that somewhere, sometime, someone is going to publicly document his true lineage. And then he will have to admit the truth. Let's just hope this happens BEFORE November.

I wonder if Stanley Crouch would like an in-depth examination of his shortcomings?

[aruanan]

Enemies of 'elite' Barack Obama show contempt for education

Stanley Crouch is either a moron or is being sneaky. He's doing a variety of the undistributed middle fallacy: A is middle. B is middle; therefore A is B. Or a cat is a quadruped. A dog is a quadruped. Therefore a dog is a cat. Or in his argument: These bad, bad guys such as slaveholders and totalitarians hate education (actually totalitarians love education; they just want to be the ones totally in charge of the curriculum). You hate Barack Obamaa because he's educated; therefore, you are one of the bad guys like slaveholders and totalitarians.
