Very likely,
many people listening to some of the more esoteric or fringe radio
hosts
(Gallagher, Reagan, etc.) would not necessarily be the same ones that
read
William Buckley or even George Will.

Duh. That was hard to guess. Do you think 15% of conservatives (can)
read
Buckley or Will?

Liberals do not have a monopoly on
college graduates.

But, you'd probably blast college teachers (more educated than just
college) as
being the vanguard of the commie invasion, right?Remember, you do
exactly
that
later in your post!

Additionally, I think an easy case could be made that elitist dumbasses
such
as yourself

Aren't you the same guy that was lambasting liberals as namecallers
because
they lack intellect?! Did you have a lobotomy, yesterday?

must rely on an ever-larger, uneducated (or lower-educated) mass
of people to try to elect your socialist dream teams.

So, do you really want to stick to the ASININE claim that liberals
appeal
more
to the lower rungs of society than do conservatives? Now, that's
boggling!

With the help of
their alliance with teachers unions, the Democratic agenda of late has
been
to create a populace as uneducated as possible, convinced that they
must
be
reliant upon the government.

Oh, I get it. Teachers are against education. They want ignorant
students.
That
must be why Bush's Secretary of Education calls teachers terrorists.

Stinger, I've generally respected your posts more than most of the
so-called
intellectual conservatives on this NG. But this last one was pure,
unadulterated horse****. I'm sorry to see what a negative effect this NG
is
having on you.

Lately, I've been reading this twit's postings and watching him claim that
all conservatives are poorly-educated, gullible rednecks. That
condescending, elitist snobbery in ill-thought post after post disgusts
me.
He's not worthy of my respect.

His moronic belief that all conservatives listen (and believe) every
right-wing guy in front of a microphone is just plain stupid. His
complete
ignorance of demographics is astonishing, and his "we know what is best
for
you people" tone is contemptible.

Actually, I very much support the idea of tenured professors in the
(semi)-protected environment of academia. I do wish that they would keep
some grip on the reality of the outside world by doing some activities
outside academia, such
as consulting. There is no teacher better than experience.

However, my accusation against the teacher's unions in on-target and true.
These organizations fight against testing teachers for ability, testing
students for learned skills or achievement, and against rooting out which
teachers are short-changing our children's education. Just as with any
other union, their agenda is all about protecting jobs (for even the
worst,
as long as they have seniority) and getting more for themselves. The
students' interests are not even in their equation. Look at the absolute
horror that is being uncovered each and every day in the New Orleans
municipal school system (in which the teachers unions have vigorously
opposed any reforms).

As far as making any "asinine" claim that Democrats have a lock on the
uneducated, that was not what my post said. If you re-read both Leonard's
and my post, you'll see that I was refuting his conjecture that the
Democrats had all of the educated voters. My assertion is that they have
at
least as many of the uneducated, and also that Democratic politicians have
learned to pander to them.

I would like to make a clarification on this post: The "condescending,
elitist twit" I mentioned was an earlier poster that we were discussing --
not Michael Bryant. Upon my second reading, I see that my quick editing of
this comment (I also replied via e-mail in more detail) made it look like I
was denegrating Michael when it was not my wish to do so. His heart's in
the right place, and eventually, we'll get his mind there, too. ;^)

Thank you for your time.
