That's pretty funny..I've grown up with people who looked down on education. The TParty is rife with people who think you're "showing off" if you speak well and use "big" words. It's sad yes?!

the daily constitutional.

The walk? Or the morning restroom visit?

too funny

I thought it was the morning restroom visit too.

I thought "daily constitutional" meant taking a dump

"republicans" and "liberal"?

If she says this to your face, you can only imagine what she says about you to others.

Since most of my own friends (and some family) are Republican and I'm the non-confrontational type, I tend to keep conversations to fairly neutral ground, though I will speak up when an obvious factual error is presented.

Sometimes, it's just better to smile at certain individuals and move on.

I hope your wife falls asleep with a smug smile on her face.

I'm almost wondering when went wrong with your "friend".

I even like the word "smug" when used properly.

in Saint Augustine....

All I have to do is say ONE word that triggers a political thought, and my neighbor will rant and rave about "the government, it's the government's fault", etc. I just ignore her and walk away... and "he's a Musllim", etc.

what is it with Republicans always wanting to prove how stupid they are? Really, please tell
me why you think being stupid is a good thing? What is the value in being ignorant and proud of it?

As if it is not "work" to obtain a degree, of which they are so fond and claim they do so much of -"Hard" of course.

The pride these people have in their willful ignorance is just stunning. I assume your wife will continue to use words correctly which will irritate the ignorant. Knowledge will out.

I don't do that anymore.

Typical, though, she tried to cover up her own stupid goof by going on the attack. "potatoe"

She said going to college was a waste of money? Yeah, I guess, if she still doesn't like "big words"

But boy, howdy, they sure are proud to be stupid.

Betcha she doesn't know what THAT means, either.

... to use any form of the word CONSTITUTION in any way other than in reference to the sacred document the teabaggers hold so very dear (though most of them are clueless hypocrites).

about young people going to college or smthg. Yet Santorum has an undergrad. and law degree, and his wife has two degrees also. Must be the old 'pointy- headed intellectual liberal' meme and a new one to deter kids from college, esp. since jobs are declining.

Whatever they say, simply reverse the references between them and us and you will have the truth! Although I admit that claiming you need a college education to understand "constitutional" is a bit bizarre.

The way a general wears medals. They are a sign of victory and virtue.

Many Americans take great pride in their level of ignorance. I suppose it is that level of ignorance that allows them to.

...not their own peculiar dialect where they use the same words but they mean different things.

"dumb idiot", "smug liberal"

Why associate with them at all?
