Basically, it's a weak mea culpa followed by a 'Yes, we elites look down on you, Think little of your needs or concerns and think you are backwards...oh yes, except at election time where YOU MUST VOTE FOR US, OMG THINK OF THE SCIENCE!', this is not exactly an actual reason to vote for Hillary under any circumstance. She had her chance to shine for almost thirty years, and instead she shit all over the place...frequently.<br /><br /> If Hillary wins, the press will pat themselves on the back and go back to not reporting any actual news.<br /> If Trump wins, both a congress full of RINOs and democrats, and a fervid press full of moral indignation will be keeping a close eye on him...which is a win-win situation as far as I'm concerned.

They post them on their website: <a href="https://twitter.com/Cory_MD888/status/765283207860330497" rel="nofollow">see poll</a>. However, Gary Johnson was not very representative (hint: Aleppo).

I guess you really should vote ...Jonathan Burdick,<br /><br />I guess you really should vote for someone who feels we should have open borders, trade deals that favor themselves (not the rest of the country), start more unfunded wars in the middle east (because we really need more of them), take millions in financial 'donations' from regimes that kill homosexuals for just breathing, women for not wanting to be chattel property and...pretty much breathing, and Christians for not being Muslim, and some Muslims for not being Muslim enough. Yeah, talk to me about toleration...I don't think so.<br /><br />Oh yeah, and someone who is so concerned about women's rights...as she is married to a known rapist and sex offender, and has personally villainized any women who has stepped forward to admit it. <br /><br />You might also throw in that your ideal candidate should have great credentials such as being disbarred from practicing law and have been described by one of her first employers in Washington DC as “She was a liar. She was an unethical, dishonest lawyer. She conspired to violate the Constitution, the rules of the House, the rules of the committee and the rules of confidentiality.”…by Jerry Zeifman, chief counsel of the House Judiciary Committee during the Watergate inquiry into Nixon's misconduct....Not much has changed it would seem, yeah, she's come a long way, baby!<br /><br />Please Jonathan, tell me more about what you consider a National Disgrace, it should be enlightening and entertaining. <br /><br />On the bright side, just think, If your golden girl wins, we all get to enjoy ring-side seats as loads of Karma come raining down on her head as she most likely gets impeached for graft and corruption.<br /><br /><br />I'm going to give Trump a complete pass on criticizing the Joint Chiefs of Staff.<br /><br />If you think the Joint Chiefs are so brilliant, perhaps you may have noticed we have been at war for over fifteen BLOODY years with less than nothing to show for it...except mutilated soldiers and thousands of body bags. <br /><br />More of the same from overtly corrupt elitists who know so much better... I don't think so.CFTnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8148573551417578681.post-26332980032783889802016-11-01T04:05:13.959-07:002016-11-01T04:05:13.959-07:00Getting beyond the Yes There Are Foolish Liberal A...Getting beyond the Yes There Are Foolish Liberal Academics general point, we're left with more specific points, like Trump Is A National Disgrace. <br /><br />Trump is rightly loathed as much for his dizzying policy vacillations as for whatever any one or more of his policies are deemed to be. He's all dumbass smoke signals. He thinks he's smarter about military engagements than the Joint Chiefs? Wants to build an anti-Mexico Border Wall, despite what General Patton famously roared about the stupidity of fixed fortifications? What's next, more adulation of ex-KGB types like Putin? Trump sure looks like a raw newbie in his whirlwind roller coaster ride -- I guess he fired the one campaign manager, then Manafort resigns ... Trump Sucks.

Four of my teachers gave me the exact same answer word for word verbatim. The fifty (who was my US civics teacher) told me, "By any chance did the other people you asked give you identical answers?" I nodded to him and he laughed. "That's because they aren't answering your question, they are reading you the lines the have been handed." <br /> When I asked him what his answer was he said, "I think Mapplethorpe should have published his 'art' privately by his own dime, not the taxpayers expense at a public museum. When you use public funds you are held to certain standards of the community. When you want absolute freedom to 'create', you use your own money."<br /><br />I asked him why his answer was different.<br />He replied: "I'm a conservative, your other teachers aren't. I have my own opinion, and I don't trust authority further than I can keep a careful eye on it. "<br /><br />"So what are my other teachers classified as then?"<br />He laughed again.<br />"They're academics...or liberals. Same thing these days."CFTnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8148573551417578681.post-56382549268712232812016-10-31T11:02:36.959-07:002016-10-31T11:02:36.959-07:00My comment was a general comment, not a comment ab...My comment was a general comment, not a comment about politics.Craignoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8148573551417578681.post-12145889523139260272016-10-31T08:58:44.813-07:002016-10-31T08:58:44.813-07:00Academics are usually very smart, but they are als...Academics are usually very smart, but they are also usually not very wise.
