Someone called me an intellectual once and I almost punched him, which of course would have been sufficient proof that I was no such thing.

Thomas Sowell is an intellectual, too bad Obama would never tap him for anything.
To: saganite
Ha, maybe you should have and learned him something. :)

Dr. Sowell never disappoints. How can 2 people that share similar upbringings, Chicago roots and educations at Columbia and Harvard think so differently.

History fully vindicates the late William F. Buckley's view that he would rather be ruled by people represented by the first 100 names in the Boston phone book than by the faculty of Harvard.Dr. Sowell has a wonderful ability to express himself, but a true reason to respect Sowell is the credit he unjealously gives to others who deserve it.

If Mr.Kristof of the New York Times thinks we don’t like intellectuals now, just wait until we’re done with Obama. Of course, wasn’t Carter supposed to be an intellectual as well?
To: Seven Minute Maniac
Thomas Sowell would have had my vote for President.
To: smoothsailing
So true, that was a great line by Buckley and Dr. Sowell fully appreciates it.

“That is one of many reasons why intellectuals are not taken as seriously by others as they take themselves.”
Brings up Orwell’s famous observation...
... ‘an idea SO stupid that ONLY an intellectual would believe it’

It was said that the taciturn Coolidge could be silent in five different languages.That is an amusing line.

“Intellectual” is a word that simply confers favorable status on the person being described—as Sowell rightfully points out here. It has no other value as a characterization.

Good point about BO, he talks a good game but so far in life has done zero. I don’t remember Carter being referred to as an intellectual but he could have been, I was so ticked off at him then I might have blocked it out.
