(998 posts)for him. Obviously didn't get anything out of it. Could have saved his parents a load. Wonder why he's sending two of his kids to college any way.
His parents too must have been snobs as his dad had a Ph.d. and mom was an administrative nurse. Maybe they were "home colleged"

(31,706 posts)How else does Faux Noise, Hate radio and the rushpublicans keep relevant? Downplay education and keep their ilk as ignorant as possible. It makes it easier to drill in the talking points and make them stick to the point of craziness we see and hear today. The powerful remain that way by keeping the "masses" as clueless as possible.
For the past 30 years the rushpublicans have used the "elite" dogwhistle that has always been a disdain for education and those who are educated cause they promote free thinking and tend to believe facts rather than talking points. Rectorum knows his fish and is just throwing them some chum...
