Smug is you libs in NY proving how racist NY ISSL #16
If by "they" you mean Republicans, we concur.
For you see, the smugness plainly evident in this topic is rather more Republican than Dem.
If the topic title is true QUOTE A DEM ASSERTING IT.
But you don't.
It's all just groundless insult. It's a lie.
"Do you really believe "liberals" are disproportionately represented in academe for their intellectual inferiority?"ZZ #12
Some things are defined by context, doughnut holes being an obvious example.
I'll walk you through it.
a) The topic title is:
Dems think they are smarter than everyone else
"everyone else" includes Republicans.
b) The topic title is NOT a quotation of a Democrat declaring leadership position / opinion.
It's an obvious groundless partisan snipe at Dems
c) If were true we'd know somehow, whether by:
- quotation of a Democrat in leadership, or
- a valid statistical study of some sort, or
- some other valid indication.
But this topic's got SQUAT!
It's a conspicuously partisan insult without stated foundation in fact.
BUT !!
I fully understand that the profoundly self-deluded are immune to such objectivity.
Bias confirmation compels them (you) to believe:
Dems think they are smarter than everyone else
and you justify it by dismissing the challenge.
But you do not define reality. And reality doesn't need your validation.
You and the other partisans are welcome to continue to think of it in terms of on party being "smarter".
Reality is a little more complicated than that.
And just one sanity check on that is academe.
Republicans love to whine bitterly about the "liberal bias" in our colleges & universities.
But the tenured professors there aren't just high schoolers trying to make a little extra $jingle. They're quite often the tops in their field.
Do you really believe "liberals" are disproportionately represented in academe for their intellectual inferiority?
Sober up.
I believe your list is useful, but incomplete. I'd add "experience", which is a two-edged sword."is based upon one's personal views, opinions, feelings and beliefs. None of which reflect one's intellect." U2
U2 #23,
I appreciate your thoughtful consideration here.
Rather than you perceiving me to correct you, if I may merely add:
I believe your list is useful, but incomplete. I'd add "experience", which is a two-edged sword.
- The young learn what it is to get caught in the rain.
- The experienced know the virtue of carrying an umbrella.
Whether academe is in fact dominated by liberals I cannot prove. Seldom if ever have I heard a liberal complain about it.
But I've lost count of the ostensible conservatives that whine that it is so, though I don't recall any proof they've offered of it.
BUT !!
If it is so, my suspicion is that the conservative is attracted to material reward, a well-paying Wall Street job for example.
WHEREAS:
The liberal may prefer the rewards of Bodhisattva.
I don't base this observation on premise of religion per se, I'm not proselytizing for the Buddha, or anyone else. I'm not in academe.
But I enjoy concepts, my reason for posting here.
It's a ratio of course. The Wall Streeter doesn't sequester his mind, never to think another thought. And the academic doesn't live in a cardboard box on the sidewalk.
But in coarsest terms, the academic seems willing to settle for a shorter yacht, in exchange for a richer interaction with humanity (pun not intended, but enlightening).
Ref:
bodhisattva (bo´dî-sùt´ve) noun
Buddhism.
An enlightened being who, out of compassion, forgoes nirvana in order to save others.
[Sanskrit bodhisattvah, one whose essence is enlightenment : bodhih, perfect knowledge + sattvam, essence, being (from sat-, existing).]

Nah, we're just smarter than dumb fvcks who think in part or whole that a presidential candidate would run a child sex ring in the basement of a restaurant ... to the tune of nearly 50% !!!!Dems have hard time connecting to voters because they know so much: Hirono
Hirono, 71, said Democrats need to stop speaking in a way that comes off as manipulative or strokes fear and resentment.
“But we have a really hard time doing that and one of the reasons-- it was told to me at one of our retreats-- was that we Democrats know so much, that is true. And we have kind of have to tell everyone how smart we are and so we have a tendency to be very left brain," she continued.

First, study shows they talk down to minorities because they think they are smarter....now they admit they think they are smarter.
Dumbasses, the lot of them.
Nearly everybody wants a brand new Ferrari. Few if any of us hawk up the $Quarter $Mil it costs to buy one."These "liberals" actually desire the same monies the Wall Street non-liberals seek but to do with as they desire and call that "compassion" for others, not themselves." U2

Until they have a Venezuelan experience and that really fucks it up for the rest of us."white kids nowadays get college degrees, wear white collars, and vote democrat"
For awhile anyway, until they get slapped around by reality enough to figure out where they fucked up.
Nobody can follow your posts unless they come by them at random or assiduously read every thread. You have got to learn to quote your responses properly or you more often than not won't get the replies to them.SL #28
No. But I'm sure you'll keep trying anyway. Good afternoon.

Trump calls himself a stable genius.they amaze even themselves
How much is in your bank account? Why do hate successful people? Jealous?Trump calls himself a stable genius.
What do you say about that?
<smirk>
Oh, dear. You goofed on your reading of the article. Hirono was repeating what she'd heard, not making the claim herself.Dems have hard time connecting to voters because they know so much: Hirono

Some of them do wake up; there are folks out there all over handing out red pills.Never Mind and You Will Never Matter
College education prepares them to think unrealistically. As students, they formed a mindset of denial of the overwhelming reality that, not being paid to learn, they lived like teenagers afraid to grow up. A college graduate suffers from the Peter Pan syndrome; he will never grow up.
What kind of reality do you live in for believing that these zombies can ever change their programmed attitude because of reality checks? Traitors feed us that comforting lie. From the demographics of the election results, it is undeniable that Yuppies remain in the Liberal bubble until the bitter end.
We are headed for disaster if we sit back and passively expect things to change from the way the ruling class has programmed them to be. Therefore, the Conservatives who tell us that their Liberal pets will mature, and that we don't have to worry about elitist-snob Democrats continuing to force destructive laws down our throats, are trying to put us to sleep. The ideological duopoly wants things to continue on this downhill slope for the rest of us until it is too late to wake up to the fact that college graduates will never wake up.
Like the Europeans?"white kids nowadays get college degrees, wear white collars, and vote democrat"
