I don't view the current attitude as "anti-intellectual"...

It's simply a logical correction to the idea that intellect is ALL you need...

President Obama is a perfect example... A very VERY smart guy..

But NOT a good leader... Sure, he can make some smart decisions here and there. But I am positive that is coming from his advisers.. At least he is smart enough to actually listen to them..

But a good leader is someone who can make the wrong decisions for the right reasons and make the decision come out right...

Obama and the Democrats have proven time and time again that, more often than not, they make the wrong decision for the wrong reasons.

And THAT is why the mid-terms resulted in a course correction..

Are you saying that the overwhelmingly vast majority of the American people are wrong??

Well, apparently they were in 2008, so you MIGHT be right.. :D

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm Something to think about...

Maybe the Country should adopt a live and let live attitude.Unfortunately we have gained really big headed jingoistic semi literate anti intellectual creed;oops I forgot this is a gift from those folks who sailed away to the New World from Devonshire,some 500 years ago.Think about that for a while amigo.

What accept about this country is it stands for very little;

Why do you think that is??

Because every time Americans want to stand up for something, there is always another group of Americans who say we can't...

I read a HuffPo commentary once upon a time on how the US has no traditions of it's own.. This author commented how traditions in foreign lands with foreign peoples go back thousands and thousands of years...

A commenter commented that the reason the US has so few traditions is because those who are obsessed with being politically correct and who are hysterical about not offending other groups won't LET Americans celebrate their traditions..

That struck me as soo dead on ballz accurate, it was scary..

It's why we have Winter Break and Spring Break instead of Christmas and Easter Vacations. It's why people are persecuted if they actually try to display their traditions.

Instead of trying to fight everyone and everything, maybe the Left (AND the Right) should adopt a "live and let live attitude", eh???

Maybe then we could all stand for something as Americans...

Just a thought...

What accept about this country is it stands for very little;We are an empire fading into a mass of moosepoop.That my friend is reality.The good thing is I never have to worry about leaving any children in this world.The inmates run the asylum America is on its way out;every indication is here that in 50 years there will be no United States;alas.

Ironically enough, I felt as you do about 3 weeks ago..

But, then the Mid-Terms happened and gave me hope that the USA could regain it's former glory..

Time will tell who is right and who is wrong. :D

Once you accept the reality that this country IS a Center-Right country,then it's easier.

The 24/7 no news cycle strikes again;National Opt out day complete farce.We Americans have become a nation of hysterical sheep.If this keeps up I may by osmosis turn into conservative;reliving my teen age years.Looks like the Moose poop will get deeper;or Sewards Folly becomes Obamas regret.

So we'll see what happens tomorrow. The tactic is supposed to be for those annoyed at getting groped to demand to be groped, in the hopes that this brings the security checkpoints to a virtual standstill. What this means is that a lot of folks behind them in the lines may miss their flights home to Grandma for Thanksgiving. Which (picture me scratching head) is supposed to prove... what, exactly?

By and large, that's the Leftist logic at work...

Present company excepted, of course. :D
