Indicting Democrats as .......'Intellectuals'!

[PoliticalChic]

Never a met bible beating creationist who thought book learning was good thing

There's only one book we need to read and thats bible right hillbillies?

I’m the God-fearing, gun-toting, flag-waving conservative you were warned about.

Let me know when you're ready to compare education résumés.

Im sure youve read the bible a lot. The bible is a great way to get you illiterate inbred hillbillies to read, just maybe try another book once in awhile

Let me know when you're ready to compare education résumés.

I dont think anyone who loves anne coulter can claim they have an education

"I dont think anyone who loves anne coulter can claim they have an education."


The first three words are really all anyone need know about you.

 

[PoliticalChic]

1. Although the Liberal voter loves to claim the title for himself and his elites, awarding the appellation 'intellectual' as something to be proud of is as false a narrative as their dogma, and as are their elected choices.

One need only look at the graduates they turn out, and the foaming-at-the mouth rantings of their tenured staff.
"Professor: Brady's Trump Support Is More 'Un-American' Than Kaepernick" Professor: Brady's Trump Support Is More 'Un-American' Than Kaepernick

“Some ideas are so stupid, only an intellectual could believe them.” George Orwell



The fact is that real Americans, those on the Right, use the term 'intellectual' as a disparaging and less than complimentary term, an identifier of the Liberal dogma-afflicted who will never contradict the collective's talking points.


2. Thomas Sowell, a real intellectual in the positive sense, writes that this intellectual vanguard tends to take the “benefits of civilization for granted.” The “vision of the anointed” lacks respect for the wisdom inherent in experience and common opinion.

Its practitioners value abstractions—dreams for a peaceful, egalitarian world where conflicts have been overcome—over the “tacit knowledge” available to the parent, the consumer, the entrepreneur, and the citizen.
Sowell vigorously defends wisdom—practical reason—against an abstract rationalism that values ideas over the experience of actual human beings. Intellectuals, he argues, are particularly suspicious of the ties ordinary men and women feel to family, religion, and country. They look down upon “objective reality and objective criteria” in the social sciences, art, music, and philosophy. Their “systems” tend to be self-referential and lack accountability in the external world."
"Intellectuals and Society," by Thomas Sowell An Independent Mind

a. And here is an example of one of those 'intellectuals' doing just that:
“And it's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy toward people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.” Obama on small-town Pa.: Clinging to religion, guns, xenophobia




3. 'Intelligentia' is a Russian term that has made its way into the English, along with agitprop, apparatchik, commissar, gulag, Kalashnikov, nomenklatura, pogrom, samizdat, and vodka. The author of the following essay on 'intellectuals' attempts to explain its meaning....

"Russia has always been a caste society and the intelligentsia was a particular caste, consisting of educated people who did not fit into one of the traditional categories—clergy, nobility, peasants, merchants, or the urban middle class." It defined neither the academic nor the political.
Things have changed.
"Decades of exposure to constant propaganda inevitably left its mark on all but the strongest of intellects. Cut off from contact with the outside world and normal cultural, intellectual, and artistic influences, the Soviet intelligentsia’s tastes were frozen sometime around 1937. " Intelligentsia Elegy




Today's thread will prove the joined-at-the-hip sameness of the above, the Russian 'intelligentia,' and the leaders and followers we call Democrats and Liberals.

And for the very same reason: "...Decades of exposure to constant propaganda..."

This coming from such an idiotic poster is quite ironic.

What a brilliant response to the OP!

And, I mean 'brilliant' ins the same way as folks mean 'Einstein' when they refer to you in that way.

You have no intelligent reply. I accept your capitulation. And just look at the people agreeing with me. Thank you for playing.

5. One cannot help but be astounded to find


" In the Soviet intelligentsia of his own day, Solzhenitsyn saw only a spiritually spent shadow of its pre-revolutionary predecessor—subverted by the Soviet state and stripped of the few virtues that the old class possessed.


Where before the intelligentsia felt a sense of obligation to and repentance before “the people,” now there was only a sense that it was the people who were guilty and stubbornly refused to repent.
[Obama: they cling to their guns and religion....]


The Soviet intelligentsia felt little empathy or connection with its own history and possessed no principles that differed significantly from the principles put into practice by the Soviet regime.
[Have you seen the the posts from Liberals stating we have no rights except those given us by government?]


The contemporary intelligentsia, by contrast, had sold out to the state for a few crumbs of privilege. Its main flaw, according to Solzhenitsyn, was moral cowardice. Indeed, it was itself complicit in the regime’s crimes and its system of lies." Intelligentsia Elegy




Just as I said:

You're so dumb you don't recognize the term 'intellectual' is applied as a pejorative by the Right....

...for these reasons:

It's a checklist for the Democrats and Liberals!

an obsession with egalitarian social justice
paralyzes the love of and interest in truth
hypnotic faith in its own ideology and intolerance for any other;
and the adoption of “hatred as a passionate ethical impulse
fervent rejection of Christianity



The Bolshivik intelligentia and their derivatives, the Liberals and Democrats, are a danger to freedom loving people everywhere.

6. The author of the essay, Oblomov, confirms the very essence of this thesis:
"...the qualities he despairs of are endemic to educated elites everywhere. Or, it may be because our American intelligentsia has been Russified over the past century.

[ 'Russified'? The Liberals??? You betcha'!
All six have the same goals in mind: Communists, Liberals, Socialists, Progrssives, Nazis and Fascists]


You would think that a free society would give full expression to the intelligentsia’s virtues. Yet, somehow our own intelligentsia, lacking any serious need for moral courage, has managed to concentrate in itself the worst aspects of its Russian cousins: sanctimony without sacrifice; obsession with egalitarian social justice that “paralyzes the love of and interest in truth”; hatred of its own history and the confusion of that hatred with a “passionate ethical impulse”; an exaggerated sense of its own rights and entitlements; contempt for the views of ordinary people; a transparently false, pretentious pose of acting only on the basis of undisputed facts and disinterested principle.

If in the Soviet case we see a servile intelligentsia crouching defensively against an all-powerful totalitarian police state, in the United States we see a different dynamic: a powerful, self-assured intelligentsia increasingly at odds with the workings of democracy." Intelligentsia Elegy




Democrats and Liberals
"....intelligentsia increasingly at odds with the workings of democracy."
A perfect example:
" If liberals could trust the voters, they wouldn’t need the Court to invent ludicrous ‘constitutional rights’ for them in the first place.
The only limit on liberal insanity in this country is how many issues liberals can get before a court…A lot is at stake for liberals with the court. If they lose a liberal vote, they will be forced t fight political battles through a messy little system know as ‘democracy.’
Coulter



Although I am an optimist at heart, I fear that the people who need this thread are the ones least likely to read it.
So sad.

7. Sometimes we get a glimpse into the true feelings, the totalitarian ethic of the Left.
"If only America could be Communist China for just one day, lamented New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman. If only we could be ruled by an all-powerful junta of Harvard professors. Or by a plenary committee of nine eminent jurists."

Democracy is their enemy, the name of their party, a joke.



Here, the definitive quote from the Right:
“I would rather be governed by the first 2000 people in the Manhattan phone book than the entire faculty of Harvard.”― William F. Buckley Jr.

Which quote aligns with the nation imagined by our Founders?



8. "Unlike Tsarist Russia, with its rigid system of castes and ranks, the United States was from the beginning an egalitarian republic, with no native intelligentsia. In the nineteenth century, Tocqueville found that, “there is no class . . . in America, in which the taste for intellectual pleasures is transmitted with hereditary fortune and leisure and by which the labors of the intellect are held in honor.”


Tocqueville conceived of the intelligentsia in French terms and identified it with aristocracy. But Americans were doers, not navel-gazers. They lacked a “taste for intellectual pleasures” but possessed a huge appetite for acquiring practical knowledge."
Intelligentsia Elegy



Bolsheviks.....Liberals.....more and more difficult to tell the difference.
But clearly....neither are Americans.

'Intellectuals' don't get caught hiding military data / facts, like the fact that you killed over 500 innocent men, women, and children in your bombing campaign in Syria in an UN-Authorized, UN-Constitutional war - in the midst of a civil war between ISIS and a dictator - we should not even be in.

'Intellectuals' don't get caught lying to the press about not knowing about a private e-mail account / server, only to be exposed as having used an alias in an attempt to hide the fact he was e-mailing her long before he admitted to knowing.

Just sayin'...

For clarity, the term 'intellectual' does not mean the same thing to both sides of the aisle.

As explained earlier in the thread, it is not .....not....a term of approbation to the Right, and is applied in a somewhat snide manner.

The essay quoted throughout explains how 'intelligentia' devolved from what it meant originally, into what the Left....the Democrats and Liberals....represents today.

Now...take notes so you don't look so foolish again....


9. Every totalitarian view...Socialist, communist, Fascist, Liberal, Progressive, and Nazi, ...originated in Germany, with Hegel..... The Germans have a history of embracing authoritarian rule.

As the German philosopher Hegel said, “The state says … you must obey …. The state has rights against the individual; its members have obligations, among them that of obeying without protest”
Ralf Dahrendorf, Society and Democracy in Germany


The 'Shameful Six'- Socialist, communist, Fascist, Liberal, Progressive, and Nazi,- all have the same demand of submission to government as their doctrines.


Americans, quite the opposite.
In Thoreau’s On the duty of Civil Disobedience, he states: “ There will never be a really free and enlightened State until the State comes to recognize the individual as a higher and independent power, from which all of its own power and authority are derived.”




Now....study the above....take your time, I understand you're not as bright as some of us....
.....and I'll continue with the explanation what 'intellectual' has come to mean, and why.
