The unvarnished truth - politics and economic factors shaping the US and the world

[miles]

In their mind they have chosen a nobler path than chasing money; they chase information and act shocked then to find it not a valid currency and the frustration grows when their truth is rejected by the VoTech slave class thanks to educated men who realize that an education is fruitless without individual liberty, objective law and property rights...

I chose a noble path to provide from my family.

I just call 'em like I see 'em.

If I am a slave for bringing home a paycheck, you are the slave of the slave who brings home the paycheck.

You call yourself educated and were educated in the same system that I am being educated in. Come on, Bro! The street is not one way.

No, I was educated outside of the system classically with a mentor who saw potential in an anarchist type...

Yes, I did somewhat attend physically a public school, but I was there only physically because my classmates could not keep up mentally, and yes, I did go to a college, but outside of the math and physics department I ran into the same wall...

So, TWICE now in my life, I have briefly allowed my education to be interrupted in order to better understand Babbitt's world...

That was on my first reading list, between public school and the VoTech.

This is true, but hopefully, he's chosen his field well, so that person can make a living for himself thus contributing to society, instead of consuming further it's resources.

I am all for that.

What I am against is deluding the poor souls into believing they are "educated" and equipped with the tools to think, when in fact they have been trained to blindly accept by people who know better but choose to use their education as a manipulative tool for social justice.

I found this to be an excellent summation and it even begins with one of those rhymes that Petey seems to enjoy...

Where professors rule, life is cruel.

That is the bottom line for the average American in this, the transformative age of the president the New York Times and Washington Post has called "Professor" Obama, who "schools" the ignorant at home and abroad. Never before have so many with so little humility gathered together in our government, each believing he "is the smartest guy in the room."

This is an administration stuffed with academics. And not just any academic: These are educators from elite universities, the kind of experts prized by a political and media elite seeking confirmation of a worldview that expects, notes the Washington Examiner, "the rest of us ... to shut up and do as we are told."

Inside the Beltway, "Harvard know-it-allness" is a prized commodity; outside, its practitioners are largely regarded as "obnoxious and arrogant" in the classroom and "jaw-droppingly incompetent" out of it. Small wonder trust in government has hit a fifty-year low.

Welcome to government by professor. Assorted faculty of Ivy League schools have come together to form an administration with the least real-world and most academic experience of any in modern times, the American Enterprise Institute notes. And so we have a government of scolds, lecturers, and bullies, arrogant academics cheered on by mainstream media when they take a "paddle" to average citizens and taxpayers.

Main Street, say hello to Harvard Drive, Chicago Place, and Berkeley Boulevard. The latter are roads that begin in the elite universities and bring "someone better than you" to power in Washington, D.C. Or so says the dean of the School of Law at the University of California at Berkeley, a card-carrying member of what David Brooks of the New York Times fawningly calls "the educated class."

There's a difference between political indoctrination and real education.

Kinda reminds me of our money. There's money that has real value, and there's that which supposedly represents value.

The collision of Objective and Subjective.

And so they gather in Washington to "reengineer" your life according to the "abstract theories" they have taught for so many years, as political observer Michael Barone put it. Witness the latest addition to the administration's professorial ranks: Dr. Donald Berwick, the Harvard Medical School professor picked to head the Medicare program. Of course, his knowledge of senior health care is academic, having never actually treated seniors.

But he has consulted for National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE), the infamous British rationing board that is responsible for killing more ailing seniors through long waits and treatment denials than any single disease in the United Kingdom. Dr. Berwick shares the "social utility" philosophy of Harvard colleague Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, the ObamaCare czar who believes that seniors and the handicapped belong in the back of the usefulness bus.

And Dr. Berwick is the colleague known for his thinking about the bureaucracy that will put them there. In Cambridge and Hyde Park (University of Chicago) and Berkeley, this is known as thinking transforming thoughts about "health outcomes"; in the rest of America, it is called "death panels."

With classic understatement, Thomas Lifson noted that the "skill set of the faculty lounge rarely translates into great leadership." He points to the nation's last professor-president, Woodrow Wilson, who "paved the way for the emergence of fascism" at the beginning of the last century.

Where professors rule, life is cruel. Elite professors have routinely championed thugs and butchers. Ivy League campuses and at least three of Obama's czars continue to extol the virtues of communism, "a totalitarian and bloodthirsty theory that killed one hundred million people in the 20th century."

And Nazis and Nazi sympathizers have always found a home among our nation's educated elite. Just this past month, Dr. Stephen H. Norwood of the University of Oklahoma published what critics are calling the definitive study of the relationship of America's elite universities with the Nazi. In The Third Reich in the Ivory Tower: Complicity and Conflict on American Campuses, Norwood is blunt: Our top universities, led by Harvard and Columbia, openly supported Nazi Europe and gave faculty jobs to Nazis who were no longer welcome in Europe after the Second World War

The University of Chicago, for example, welcomed to its faculty lounge a Nazi official who was complicit in atrocities that "cover[ed] a complete range of a demented imagination ... torture and killing." The official went from leaving "Jewish corpses in the street to be chewed up by dogs" to "a highly successful professional career" as part of the "educated class" of David Brooks and our media elites.

They also welcomed William Ayers with open arms and approving kisses...
