One good rant?

 

1. A very good read, thanks for posting that link.

   Oh, and…
   

   For any Star Trek Original Series fans, this is Episode 70, my take. Let ‘em keep fighting!

2. My Gawd, there are too many topics here, but I’ll take just 2 of them.

   Hey, how come the NEA has no problem with how it’s perceived by other people? How come lawyers don’t fret about how they are perceived by other people? Why aren’t our Congressmen concerned with how little we respect them? Why doesn’t the MSM fall over in a dead faint because of how they are viewed?

   I know the answer to this one! It’s because they are IN and their detractors are OUT. They are proud of their accomplishments and their unity, no matter how many kids can’t read, widows’ pensions are devoured, imminent domains are confiscated or ficticious stories are produced and lives are ruined. But they won’t extend that grace to their own country. It’s a dysfunctional mindset on a deeply and seemingly irretrievable level.
   

   And greed? The truly greedy are the ones who are first envious of someone with more. That is the one really ugly thing about the liberal Left: Class warfare.

   Day by Day had a nice take on this: Day by Day Elitist Solutions

   Al Gore tells us to live without the things he enjoys.  Diane Feinstein thinks no one should be allowed to own a gun, while she has a concealed carry permit.  It goes on and on.  Yes, this is class warfare, the haves vs the middle class and the have nots.  The MSM and all the other power and information brokers controlled by the Democrats make them feel invincible.  No conscience, no concern, just the pleasure of their own righteousness. 

   A short note on Tenure.  Theoretically, it’s given only to accomplished teachers and professors.  What isn’t defined is the concept of “accomplished”.  Someone who has a good buddy on the approval board or who has kissed enough ass, has a far easier time getting tenure than someone who questions the status quo, no matter how qualified they are.  I used to have a relative working at a major university.  I’ve had first hand accounts of it.
