“Anti-intellectual”
It is a ridiculous assertion that questioning, debating or criticizing leftist ideas is being “anti-intellectual”, the whole idea that the Ivory Tower idiots are above reproach is the very definition of “anti-intellectual”.
I guess a “peer review” is considered a hate crime too.
Peter Singer thinks children should be aborted years afer birth. This is not intellecualism, this is savagery.
Margaret Sanger, Kinsey, Freud etc etc are not above criticism and disagreeing with their barbaric notions is not in any way “anti-intellectual”. Labeling those who dissent from the lefty orthodox as “anti-intellectual” is a convenient sheild that is the height of hypocrisy.
There is nothing more intellectual than dissenting, challenging, questioning, criticizing orthodoxy! Those that believe critics are “anti-intellectual” are describing themselves.
When you bother to read an entire paragraph before responding in silly cant, I will respond. Or, you could simply re-read the last sentences “One can oppose leftist social engineering without being anti-intellectual. There is a conservative intellectual tradition in America. There is an older tradition reaching back to Plato. We have 3000 years of history, while the ersatz intellectuals of the left are all but parodying their own failures of the last 250 years.” and retract your response as baseless.
