UNCULTURED PEOPLE ARGUING ABOUT THE CULTURE WAR


HOW IRONIC THAT THOSE WITH THE LEAST CULTURE WOULD BE CARRYING ON THE BANNER OF THE CULTURE WARS

There seems to be one common element that these Tea Bag wing nuts have and it is the lack of education, the display of ignorance and their total disregard for meritocracy. It seems that if you are crass, folksy, unsophisticated and denounce intellectual endeavors you are celebrated as someone special who should be running for office.

There is no love for the arts or for literary excellence…these people don’t like books, they don’t like to read and if you give them anything other than a very short slogan that can easily go into a bumper sticker they will immediately be stricken with severe apoplexy.

What really lurks behind all this lack of intellect and repulsion for knowledge is their desire to discriminate, to dismiss diversity as something undesirable and to push their concept of exclusivity, their God-given right to be at the top of the feeding chain.
