*Since there are a number of us that as public school employees are conservatives, are not Marxists, and have IQ’s higher then 90, she is not entitled to use the label of ALL.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Lenin is credited with inventing the term “Useful Idiot”. It has nothing to do with IQ. In fact the “Useful Idiots” who enabled and promoted the Bolsheviks very likely had very **high** IQs. Many were journalists, in theater, some in government, and in other social positions of power.
I recommend the Wikipedia site. It has a very nice explanation of the term “Useful Idiot”. I mention this because from your post it seems that you think the term “Useful Idiot” somehow implies retardation or low mental capacity. When referring to Marxism it most certainly does not mean this.
Are you trying to say it is a compliment, because anyway I read it is an insult?
As the rules say personal insults are not allowed.
It is a fact. It is not a compliment. It is not an insult.
It is believed that Lenin was the first to use the term “Useful Idiot”. The “Useful Idiots” were people in the West in positions of great influence. They were most often **really** bright people in the arts, journalism, education, government, etc.
Sitting here shaking my head.
verga, I am taking a break from your posts for a good long while. I am feeling totally worn out.
Thank you for your support. I was feeling a bit overwhelmed.
Since perception is reality, and I perceive it as an insult and a personal attack, the debate is settled.

A better choice would be to take a break from attacking the good, honest, hard working, Public school employees. I am certain that all of us will find that refreshing.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Perception is reality????
...and since **your** “perception” tells you that is an insult makes it one?
OK...I really am done!
Heard it before, don't believe it now
