Frum will never change his mind. He can’t get over the fact that he is so smart and that she is not him, because he couldn’t get elected to a school board.
“He can’t get over the fact that he is so smart and that she is not him,”
This is indeed the inner rage of the elitists.
Most of the people in politics are quite frankly lightweights in the brains department.
The policy wonks cant quite get how their great ideas get snubbed while idiots run the country. Maybe that’s ok because the smart people are needed to do the *real* work, like create inventions and run businesses. But the elitists see it as so *wrong* that they dont get to run things since they are so smart and have all the answers.
The one answer/quality they lack: Humility.
Of course we live in a country where our leaders are chosen by elections and not GRE or SAT tests. Perhaps we should choose the latter method in some form... China did it, and perfected dynasties of bureaucratic marvels. Not good for freedom and prosperity or even innovation, but ... ‘everyone had their place’.
Personal note: My IQ is higher than Palin’s, Obama’s, Biden’s, GWB’s and probably even that smartypants Clinton. There has been more than one time when I just want to throw my shoes at the TV set over the stupidity of some politician. But it is folly to worship intellect - a good tool, but a bad master.
It is her religion that bugs Frum. Its amazing how those who would detect the hostility in a New York minute if it were directed at their faith, do realize Christians see it when its directed at them. Just because Christians shrug it off doesn’t mean they don’t see it Mr. Frum.
