Blah blah nice backpedaling from your previous post. You are all over the map but you do seem to have a hair up your ass about people who are better educated than you are.

Your analogy wilts under light examination. First of all, one can't compare Pol Pot's anti-intellectualism to plain old anti-stupidity. First of all, Pol Pot's policies demanded the absolute political illiteracy of the general populace, as does liberalism today. Anybody who is even moderately politically and economically informed ought to know that flooding the market drives down prices and strangling companies with regulation prohibits their growth. It would make sense that economically minded voters would swing to the Republican Party, yet soaking Peter to pay Paul is just SO enticing, isn't it? Today's institutions of higher learning are sadly one-sided, and as I previously mentioned, one can go to Harvard to get stupid. I don't fear pointy-headed intellectuals, as the disconnected ones concoct various snake-oil concoction to sell to the public that are usually fairly easy to debunk. There's nothing to fear about something that can be defeated.

Wait! I want to know how you know Stizz isn't well educated. He could be a Rhodes Scholar for all you know. Just toss it out there?
Boy did that make you look dumb.

95% of BO's appointees are Clintonites. Hardly "change" as he promised.

Shakeman, you are a moron.
Not to mention--if you're going to call yourself "Cagney" then you ought to say you're from Belfast or Shannon, not Glasgow.

He promised no Clinton people? I didn't hear that. Is there something wrong with the people that created the greatest economic expansion in the history of human existence? (Yes, it all happened within the years of his presidency. Not before, not after). Why should they be excluded? What makes them terrible? What have they done that's so awful that they should never ever be considered for employment? Why wouldn't he want to hire people who are experienced and talented? Why is excluding them considered the definition of "change?" They all work for Obama.
