I agree re the mixture part...but why do you lean to the 'academics'? Joe Six Pack may not be an Ivy League academic, but he is far from being stupid AND he has proven that he can go out into the real world, build business (as opposed to academia 'talking about' businesses) run budgets, etc.
And, they're pretty!Because you're anti-government instead of being against the agents of anti-government who took over Liberalism and purposely pervert government services. They may be sincere, but lying to themselves about the destructive impulses that really motivate them is the worst form of insincerity. The guppies don't have minds of their own; they are totally controlled by the feelings of class supremacy they were brought up to believe in.
What if he reads them and disagrees with the points they make? That's the problem with academics; they make many errors in connecting dots. They only collect the dots. They assume that books have some magical power to make things self-evidently true. Using this false retort, I could say you shouldn't debate the merits of the Ivy League Ivory Tower until you've read Lucky Jim, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf, and I Am Charlotte Simmons. If the acadummies ran the government, they'd just say the people don't know how to read the truth and have to be ordered around by those who do know what to read.
The cartoon squaw's wishy-washy rap music makes me feel all warm and fuzzy and touchy-feely. I'm so choked up I think I'll go hug a tree and say I'm sorry for all the times my dog pissed on it.
LOL...what's not to understand? It's how they make us feel. A smashing pair of heels make an outfit. They help show us to our best advantage.
I can't compete with all the well-financed brainwashing that prevents you from realizing that modern Liberals are agents of the Right Wing. But let me put it this way in order to protect your Right Wing heroes from the charge of influencing their sons to take over the Democratic Party. To the Liberals, it's not a job; it's a position. They are satisfied with wallowing in the glory of power and not at all interested in doing the hard work of turning their agencies into effective public services. By definition, the Leisure Class is allergic to any kind of work.
I didn't use to believe this, but I am becoming more and more convinced that the unrealistic wildlife the treehuggers saw in cartoons when children permanently sets their viewpoints even after they should have grown up. They think of the vicious and unproductive jungle as a petting zoo. Children should be shown movies like Apocalypto instead. But even in that movie, only the bad guys get exposed to what the "rainforest, habitat, pristine paradise " chaotic nightmare is really like.I always liked how she reached into a tree and grabbed a bear cub right under the nose of its mother while singing about how ignorant the white man is. There is nothing ignorant about what she did there at all.
Politics is nothing but a food fight at a prep school. It doesn't make sense that only one faction of the guillotine-fodder aristocracy hates the rest of us. They only argue over which is the better method to whiz on the masses as they sit on top of the wall--trickling or spraying? They are not afraid of what happened to Humpty Dumpty.
Today Horatio Alger would advocate a hero who sucked his thumb in college, working without pay and living like a 12-year-old because he was afraid to grow up. A true criticism of his 19th Century heroes that you never hear is that all they did was work hard and conform, having talent being irrelevant to promotion. So we get people brown-nosing into positions where only talent matters and they inevitably wreck everything because of their natural insufficiency, which no hard work, aggressiveness, or attractive personality can change. No one is wise enough to point out that lack of natural talent makes cheating necessary. That drives the overpromoted brown-noses into it more than greed or dishonesty does. But the people at the very top, in a position to define what virtue is, got handed their positions by their Daddies and that's why they demand a society not based on natural talent, but based on birth and brown-nosing to birth rather than based on worth.
