"Michael Bryant" wrote in message ... From: "Stinger" 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 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. Michael Bryant, WA4009SWL Louisville, KY R75, S800, RX320, SW77, ICF2010K, DX398, 7600G, 6800W, RF2200, 7600A GE SRll, Pro-2006, Pro-2010, Pro-76 (remove "nojunk" to reply) 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. -- Stinger |
