David Brooks had a column in which he basically accuses
Americans who
disagree with Obama of being anti-intellectual. GUILTY AS
CHARGED, I
plead. Yes, I am very much against "intellectuals" running things
because much of the time "intellectual" is a psuedonym for
"educated
fool". The reality is that being academically educated has
nothing to
do with being able to competently run anything, in fact, most
of the
time it is an impediment. The best leaders I have known rarely
had
much education. I may be well educated but I would never expect
anyone to expect me to lead, it simply is not within me to lead.
When you get to know somebody who is brilliant but a failure it is
exasperating because it is difficult to see how someone so
smart could
so often fail, yet smart failures are very common. The best
leaders
never flaunt their educations because they want their followers to
identify with them, thus Brook's "educated class" is by
definition a
set of poor leaders.
So, YES, I am anti-intellectual because I see most
"intellectualism"
as being the mark of a failure.
So what you're saying is that you'll disagree with Obama about
anything and everything, even before you know what it is? Yep,
everything Obama bad, everything Republican good. Thanks for
proving
my point!
Reading problem? I don't see the words 'Obama', 'Republican',
'good',
or 'bad' anywhere in the post above yours. Do you?
You've done NOTHING here but spread political
bull****, lies, and distortions for months.- Hide quoted text -

**** off, asshole. I'm done with your bull****. You've completely
gone
haywire and can't even think straight.
I suggest you drive up to herring's house and straighten him out. I
can recommend a couple of good restaurants in his immediate area.
I'd pay $1000 for a picture of Herring covered in Aunt Jemima syrup
and Uncle Ben's rice.
You sound as kinky as Harry and myself. nice to see you join the
club. Next time we meet in Halifax, maybe you can "join' us.
Are you sure you want that. You don't want anyone coming between you
and harry, do you?
Wouldn't be me, though. I can't come at all.
This is too funny. the guy that's been crying about people spoofing him
is getting into the act. Get rid of your apple if you want to fool anyone.
That and the 'eternal-september' stuff. No one ever said he was too
bright, except Donnie, and maybe the plum. Oh no, she was talking
about herself.
They left you outside in the cold.
