Carly Fiorina: My college degree in medieval history will help me fight ISIS
NY Daily News ^ | 10/6/15 | ADAM EDELMAN

Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina may not be a liberal, but she certainly appears to be a fan of the liberal arts.

The 2016 contender said Monday that her college degree in medieval history made her uniquely qualified to combat ISIS and other terrorist groups.

“My degree in medieval history and philosophy has come in handy,” Fiorina said at a town hall in Windham, N.H., “because what ISIS wants to do is drive us back to the Middle Ages, literally.”

As someone who obtained a master’s degree in medieval canon law, which served to get me admitted into a good law school, and had no other purpose, I am amused at this article.

“She’s barely above Marie Harf with this statement.”

As a medievalist myself, I think she’s on to something.

Carly just released on her plan to combat the Black Death.

1. Blame the moon and a planet or two.

2. Blame the cats. (Except when speaking with single women over 35. If so blame men who dumped them in college.)

3. Blame rats. (Except when speaking to 50 year old ex Goth Girls. If so, blame the Cure.)

Europe’s medieval period was quite good, in comparison to other places of the period, actually. Yes, many people were economically tied to the land as serfs, but they had basic rights to property and due process. Labor could migrate and Women could own property, and often did, especially after the black death. The Church as a powerful check on rapacious government, and wars were usually conducted by nobles and their mercenaries - and didn’t often involve the destruction of the common people, as wars do now.

Bringing Islam into the medieval period would actually be a great improvement, Carly.

Carolyn the Crusader? Wow.

Maybe she can borrow a stuffed horse from the current HP pooba, Whitman. One with glowing red eyes.

Oh how medieval of me..

Not sure how her degree will help, but maybe she can challenge IsIs to a joust.

Example of a basic Joust.

Good Lord she’s an idiot. Saw her on full display when she ran for Senate here in CA. She will flash and fade. Do NOT want her carrying the Conservative banner. She will be eviscerated.

Is this whole world going crazy or is it just me?

Cuomo wants Fed to surround New York

New York Mayor DeLooser is nuts

Russia just got obuma’s syrian army to surrender

Rosie ODonnell is just a fat slob

Jeb is crying cause he can't walk in his father and brothers shoes

Rubio doesn't show up for votes

Hillary says if Benghazi Committee didn't do an investigation she wouldn't have been caught with all those emails

and now Carly thinks she's the top General of the World

I think I'm going to take a nap and hope when I wake up, the world or me, or both, will be back on it's axis...
