Walker Has No College Degree...

No reply from bizzydummy... What a surprise!

Even vette apologized for being wrong...


What a douchebag
 
Honestly, who the fuck cares if he has a degree or not? When did that become required to hold public office? It's just making the ones complaining sound elitist and out of touch.

It might not matter if he were not right now striving to establish an antagonistic relationship with academia -- whether out of sincere hostility or to pander to an anti-"elitist" GOP base, either way it does not reflect well on him.

It still doesn't matter. People with college degrees have been antagonizing academia for years, especially those that spent time teaching at Universities instead of joining the workforce. It been the "I worked for a living, while they studied working" argument. Unless he's openly saying that all college educated people are worthless, I don't see the difference.

And that always looks embarrassing, and it looks even worse when a guy without one does it, it makes him look like he's got a grudge.

The workforce includes professors.

I'm not arguing their position, I'm just saying it's not new.

Attacking a man for not having a college education just makes the opposition look petty and elitist. And every blue collar American out there who did just fine without a college degree will agree. If his opponents don't care about those votes, then they should go on about their business. They'll lose, but at least they can lose being asshats.

Hell, I am college educated, and my wife has an advanced degree, and we were both turned off by the discussion.

More on Walker, from Paul Krugman.

Scott Walker, the governor of Wisconsin, is said to be a rising contender for the Republican presidential nomination. So, on Wednesday, he did what, these days, any ambitious Republican must, and pledged allegiance to charlatans and cranks.

For those unfamiliar with the phrase, “charlatans and cranks” is associated with N. Gregory Mankiw, a professor at Harvard who served for a time as George W. Bush’s chief economic adviser. In the first edition of his best-selling economics textbook, Mr. Mankiw used those words to ridicule “supply-siders” who promised that tax cuts would have such magic effects on the economy that deficits would go down, not up.

But, on Wednesday, Mr. Walker, in what was clearly a rite of passage into serious candidacy, spoke at a dinner at Manhattan’s “21” Club hosted by the three most prominent supply-siders: Art Laffer (he of the curve); Larry Kudlow of CNBC; and Stephen Moore, chief economist of the Heritage Foundation. Politico pointed out that Rick Perry, the former governor of Texas, attended a similar event last month. Clearly, to be a Republican contender you have to court the powerful charlatan caucus.

So a doctrine that even Republican economists consider dangerous nonsense has become party orthodoxy. And what makes this political triumph especially remarkable is that it comes just as the doctrine’s high priests have been setting new standards for utter, epic predictive failure.

Krugman using the word charlatan is rich.

Wilson wrote:

“No doubt a great deal of nonsense has been talked about the inalienable rights of the individual, and a great deal that was mere vague sentiment and pleasing speculation has been put forward as fundamental principle. The rights of man are easy to discourse of, may be very pleasingly magnified in the sentences of such constitutions as it used to satisfy the revolutionary ardor of French leaders to draw up and affect to put into operation; but they are infinitely hard to translate into practice. Such theories are never ‘law’; no matter what the name or the formal authority of the document in which they are embodied. Only that is ‘law’ which can be executed, and the abstract rights of man are singularly difficult of execution.”

This tells you all you need to know about Woodrow Wilson, Progressives, and Barack Obama.

Wilson wrote as well:

“The makers of our federal Constitution followed the scheme as they found it expounded, in Montesquieu, followed it with genuine scientific enthusiasm. The admirable expositions of the ‘Federalist’ read like thoughtful applications of Montesquieu to the political needs and circumstances of America.” And that, “They are full of the theory of checks and balances. … Politics is turned into mechanics under his touch.”

“The trouble with the theory [of limited and divided government] is that government is not a machine, but a living thing. This is where the living and breathing constitution comes from. It is modified by its environment, necessitated by its tasks, shaped to its functions by the sheer pressure of life."

A underhanded rejection of structure of the Constitution, and the Declaration of Independence.

Wilson goes on to say:

“No living thing can have its organs offset against each other, as checks, and live. So the government is a living thing. It’s like a body, and it cannot live unless it changes and it adapts."

This is the classic progressive belief that the Constitution is an ever changing platform for expanding government power, that it is a "living document." Wilson knows that all things that live, die; which is really what he wanted, government to grow and our rights to die.

How so? When was he ever wrong?

Krugman threatens their carefully constructed reality-distortion zones. He is considered an Omega-level threat to the hive mind, and therefore must be ridiculed and denigrated. Nothing personal, they do it out of habit.
