For all this view is worth it means a lot to more than a little of the American population. Just not enough for this view to have yet taken hold to produce any lasting comfort. The fact that the argument of our country's problem is whether or not one is more worthy than the next still exists, perpetuates our degradation. Really, at this point, none of this matters anymore. Decline, uneducated or educated, inexperienced or experienced seems to be the hot new fad. Decline in respect for the American worker to cheap overseas labor shows how these 'college educated idiots' appreciate their country's driving force. It realistically only requires a few to start and offer opportunity. While it takes millions to keep these ventures prosperous. However, arrogance preaches a total and frighteningly different story.

IME it is true that whatever does not kill, makes one stronger. We'll know soon enough if strength is stronger than arrogance. We (America) may cease to exist, as we know it. Or We may grow stronger and wiser. Anyone's guess I'd say.

I suppose one can be an optimistic pessimist.

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 [/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]notes[/SIZE][SIZE=3]. And so we have a government of scolds, lecturers, and bullies, arrogant academics cheered on by mainstream media when they take a "[/SIZE][SIZE=3]paddle[/SIZE][SIZE=3]" to average citizens and taxpayers.[/SIZE]

American Thinker: America's Death by Professor


It's all fun and games till someone loses their country. This has become a country of 'amusement' at best. At least for now.

I don't see how larding this administration with academics can be much worse than the previous administration's band of corporate toadies, oil barons and ideological followers of R.J. Rushdoony.

If one considers 'life-support' surviving, then we're good to go.

I prefer breathing on my own.

^ well I don't see the GOP and their retarded pledge doing any better. In fact their "pledge" is the same BS that ran us into the ground prior to '08. That is of course if you were one of those that benefitted from those prior policies.

Just in case no one has been paying attention, this administration has made no new footprints. They've just been stepping in the same ones previous. Must think they're tracks are going unnoticed. Relative difference is, we went from ignorance to arrogance.

Absolutely true. Don't have faith in either 'party' though. The only benefit I had (HAD) is the most important... work. Those that 'benefited' from those policies found cheap labor and have been receiving cheap, recallable products ever since. Trying to pass things off as 'O.K.'. Situations are far from that. Unless of course one is listening to the 'upper' 2 - 5 percent of the population.
