This site needs to be renamed “realclearlypolitical.com”. Sheesh.
He can talk down to the “less educated” but he should realize that to him, most of the country must be “less educated”. He’s outnumbered.
Pity he doesn’t try to educate them.
Tells you everything you need to know about how the left really thinks, and the narcissism that drives them. As several others have posted in this thread, many of us here have advanced degrees, and Ivy backgrounds, but that’s not even the point. The point is that those things don’t magically make my opinion better than that of a farm worker in Iowa, or a cashier in Akron.
What really matters is the content of your character, the efforts you put in for others and to make the world a better place, your willingness to at least consider the views of others, and your ability to see the world as bigger than yourself. Making fun of a person’s ‘gene pool’ because of their ‘pedigree’ clearly indicates that you are lacking something with regards those criteria.
It’s all those SEIU members who have their Phd.s in Philosophy and Gender Studies. Millions of ‘em.
MIT grad here. Voted for trump.
Sounds plausible. It’s a sort of elitism.
Well raise my dixie flag and call me a redneck.
Petroleum Engineering degree, Civil Engineering license, been licensed in 3 States.
The reality is; people who weren’t real bright or motivated; chose easy college journalism degrees like Mr Brooks likely did.
They are the ones with no curiosity about the world; outside of their small little worlds. They never accomplish or build anything of significance.
They never travel outside of their safe big city cocoons. They never interact with anyone who thinks differently than they do.
They think they know a great deal; in reality they know very well.
They think they are knowledgeable; but they are are far from wise.
Liberals are so dam condescending and narcissistic.
This turd is a Canadian capo! He needs to go back to Toronto and take Ted Scruze with him. We have too many border crossers from both Mexico AND Canada these days.
The message isn’t meant for you.
The left tells their supporters how smart they are. They suck it up. Then they go away.
While all the geniuses on welfare, the college graduates mowing your lawns, the gang bangers, the single women who can’t manage to land a husband will vote for Cankles.
The problem is the uncivil engineers...
Possessing a clear understanding of the failure of previous civilizations to achieve and sustain freedom for individuals, our forefathers discovered some timeless truths about human nature, the struggle for individual liberty, the human tendency toward abuse of power, and the means for curbing that tendency through Constitutional self-government. Jefferson’s Bill For The More General Diffusion Of Knowledge For Virginia declared:
“…experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms (of government), those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny; and it is believed that the most effectual means of preventing this would be, to illuminate…the minds of the people…to give them knowledge of those facts, which history exhibiteth. History, by apprizing them of the past, will enable them to judge of the future…it will qualify them judges of the actions and designs of men; it will enable them to know ambition under every disguise it may assume; and knowing it, to defeat its views..”
Education was not perceived by the Founders to be a mere process for teaching basic skills. It was much, much more. Education included the very process by which the people of America would understand and be able to preserve their liberty and secure their Creator-endowed rights. Understanding the nature and origin of their rights and the means of preserving them, the people would be capable of self government, for they would recognize any threats to liberty and “nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud.” (Adams)
The left, like to portray themselves as the party of the poor. More often than not, the poor is not well educated. However, they insult the group that they say they protect. It is so weird.
It has been my experience that smart and educated are not necessarily synonymous.
These elitist jackasses have not a clue. Their demise is going to be really painful for them. I will be sure to make it as difficult as possible on the snobbish cretins.
Two degrees, one professional certification and nearly done with earning another. Voting for Trump. ESAD Brooks.
Maybe SOME college educated will vote for Her Heinous. Those with masters in Ubangi transgender studies, Aztec lesbian drum beating or whatever other irrelevancies they majored in in those ivy league diploma mills, that wouldn’t qualify them to operate a French fry machine at McDonald’s for minimum wage.
If you happen to be highly educated and so far have not figured out what this deceitful and crooked bitch Hillary stands for your education certainly has failed you and I would apply for a refund. On the other hand if you don’t care where this country is headed, then go to it.
