12. Comes down to framing the debate
Edited on Wed Apr-16-08 11:46 AM by libodem
I sure bristle when I hear conservatives use words like 'elite' and 'entitlement' against liberals. I think those are both words that describe them. They are the rich 'upper-class' and we are the permanent underclass. What makes them mad is that we are still smarter than most of them because we are creative and able to form an original thought, once in a while. They are the no child left behind, spit back on a test, memorizers, of every verse and chapter of the Bible. That is all the 'proof' they want. I don't care how much you can memorize and spit back it doesn't equate with scientific reasoning. Ever wonder why they hate science? I know this is all over the place but there is just so much about these 'snobs' that pisses me off. It's hard to remain rational. I think it's what they count on. They lie and distort so much that it's impossible to counter. If someone could it would just be dismissed anyway.
