I am SOOOOOOOOOO HUNGRY for a President whose educational background someone with CORE like Reagan had or Palin has. I am SICK of the way the secular elitist metro-sexual freaks have taken over the Ivy League schools and robbed the students there of any balance whatsoever.

I spent two years in grad school at Dartmouth, and it's obvious to me why these Ivy League "masters of the universe" have driven us into the ditch in which we find ourselves. The place was filled to the brim with extremely confident bulls**tters who have never really lived in the world you and I inhabit. They haven't met a payroll, worked with their hands, or even held a job in the private sector. They think dorm room bull sessions, feel-good legislation, and officious hyper-regulation are the answer to every one of life's disappointments. They are, in their own way, profoundly stupid and ignorant people. Many of them, I wouldn't even trust to walk my dog.

I understand EXACTLY what you are saying. Dartmouth was the first college that tried to woo one of my kids. And Harvard sent out a package so slick and fancy smancy you wold have not BELIEVED IT!

Because I have a brother who lives in Boston, the application did go through to Harvard cause he had been sending T-shirts from the school for years! THANK GOD HARVARD REJECTED our child.

Thank God.

My brother reflects a lot of what you describe in your post, and interestingly, he has lost his job as of a month ago (architect)and yet still goes woozey over uhbama as does his wife. He has forgotten the love of a dog, the goodness of our country and the full bore conservative core of our upbringing. He has lost a lot with nothing to fill the void.
