That they think they are thoughtful and progressive’ just adds to the reality of how pathetically shallow and uninformed they truly are. These are the kind of people who buy Stilton and brie, know the differences between a Brunello and a Cabernet, have seen La Boheme at the Met, have traveled in Europe, think Carl Marx was a smart man with a nice vision, and generally think that one can only be smart and educated if one goes to the right schools and comes away thinking the same way they do.
The truth is that people like Fineman are the ones who hate and judge unfairly. It is they who need to be educated and who need to get out of their artificial self-supporting small worlds and expand their minds.
As one who appreciates both Stilton and Brie, and knows the difference between a Brunello and a Cabernet...but graduated from Okie State and also prefers a red beer more than Karl Marx...I wish to lodge a complaint with the NRFRC (National Respect for Rednecks Commission).
That’s a good opinion, pieceofthepuzzle, and I respect it.
Semper Fi, buddy.
