I was just reading Maureen Dowd's latest column, and I think she hit the nail square on the head when it comes to the anti-intellectualism of modern conservatism--something that worries me more than other GOP problems.
The anti-intellectualism of the GOP at large is the main reason I can never be a Republican. Sane and rational candidates like Jon Huntsman can never win the GOP nomination because he refuses to shut his reason and logic off. Saying things like he "trusts science" are big blows to his nomination hopes. Just sad.
I don't know. He looks like he's pulling down middle five figures -- $50,000 or so -- but he's outraged that people are even suggesting we tax millionares at a higher rate.

It is. I don't mind Romney as much, and at least Ron Paul has a coherent philosophy--much as I disagree with it, but neither of them are the front runner at the moment. As an educated person, I cannot justify voting for someone like Perry and, at the same time, call myself an educator.
Has Dowd gone bi-polar? Wasn't it just a few weeks ago she was railing against Obama?
Silly liberals!
Ron Paul is much more like Stewart's movie character than Perry. The woman clearly doesn't know her Westerns.
