Why Are There No Democrat Intellectuals?

[citygator]

Gator, I would NOT call it fake news; maybe a more descriptive term would be..........immaterial news.

I mean, I can NOT draw parallels enough, Germany basically started 2 world wars, so we should hate all Germans? Lindbergh was a tremendous star, and his child got murdered. He loved the Nazi's, so we should have loved the Nazi's too? Roosevelt called Stalin "Uncle Joe," think about that!

For me, (I used to be a Democrat) it is not about what the Democrats did in the past, for if it was, I would still be a Democrat. It is about what they did/are doing in the present, and what they want to do in the future.

And just a little food for thought-------------> A person is stuck/lost in the desert. A week later they find the person, rescue them, and give that person a gallon of water. For some reason, it happens over, and over, and over again, so the rescue crew comes up with a GENIUS idea............lets build a 5000 GALLON WATER TOWER that is 100 foot tall, and the water is cooled. This way, when someone gets lost in the small desert, they will see the water tower, and head right for it. BRILLIANT!

1st person lost in the desert afterwards, sees the tower just as predicted and heads for it. Walks up to the tower, and pulls the lever and, WOOSH! All 5000 gallons of water comes crashing down on them, and drowns them, breaking their neck in the process.

THE MORAL OF THE STORY---------------> A good thing, is a good thing. Sometimes, to MUCH of a good thing, ends up being a BAD thing. Such as WELFARE, ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION, taking money from law enforcement, taxing the people to much, etc, etc. And yet, at one time, many of these actions that I mentioned were considered to be needed and a good thing. Not so much anymore, but that is EXACTLY where the Democrats (who are actually Democrats in name only) want to take us again, and they have said so succinctly.

And finally------------->The Democrats (in name only) want to protect illegals. Fine, then why don't they sponsor a bill in the Senate and The House to put forth that position? Why such insistence from them for everyone from LAW ENFORCEMENT on down to citizens, to just go along and allow the law to be broken? They have not uttered 1 word why such laws are archaic, nor put forth ANY effort to change the law, just BREAK the law! All you hear is how we need illegals to do this, that, and the other. Why do they have to be illegal? Why can they not be people allowed in to do the work?

The real REASON IS-------->We do not need them all, not even close! And the high tech jobs coming online!!!!!!!!! Hell, many of our workers are going to need training to do them. So, who are we going to train 1st? Our citizens, or another country's citizens?

And so I looked. The latest I could find quickly was stats for 2022. It states that in April of that year, 630,000 people were hired by our farms, of which a little over 50% were illegal.

And so, lets make them all ILLEGAL for the sake of debate, and DOUBLE that number to almost 1.3 million. That is a far cry from the 10, 20 million that Biden let over the border, is it not? Sooooooooo, as I stated.........it is all a red herring, plain and simple!

So after all that your message is that the reason you, as a working class dude, are struggling is because of other poor people? Your contention is that poor people have too much money and should have less? That is your point? You get how silly that is right? You are not struggling because of poor people or minimum wage immigrants. You are struggling because the owner and corporate class have built a country where ONLY they win and they have you blaming the people who HAVE NO MONEY.

If you were a democrat because you believed the working class was being left behind but have switched to the GOP because you think tax cuts for corporations, tax cuts for wealthy, weak labor protections, abusive labor union laws, and reduced public support for healthcare, education, and retirement are the answer.... well then.. you might as well just take your fist and punch yourself in the face to cure your headache.

There are Democrat intellectuals....as stated in the OP......just aren't any on the board.

Self claimed/defined perhaps.
My concept of intellectual has them pseudo and below standard.

Actually, I am doing just fine, thank you very much.

Your diatribe is well taken. Then tell us.......who IS the party of the rich-) Not 30, or 40, or 50 years ago, but TODAY, right now!

How about them tariffs? Who didn't like them? The Wall Street Journal! Yep, they are the voice of the working person, lol. All the company's/corporations that went off shore! Oh yeah, they are really for the working person. All of those PI** ANT countries that were just shipping stuff into our country, and cleaning our economic clock while doing it. Yep, for the working person they are, lol.

Your whole SHTICK is trying to claim how WONDERFUL the DEMOCRATS are today, because of what they did before. You......for some unknown reason............are to out of touch to realize that these people, ARE NOT DEMOCRATS! The GOP in many an example, are closer to being Democrats, then the Democrats themselves; which is EXACTLY why their registered numbers are growing, and registered Democrat numbers are FALLING.

You can spin all you want GATOR, and tell everyone what the Democrats did 40, or 50 years ago. They DID what you say for the most part, and today, it means absolutely NOTHING!

Are you old enough to know what a 1960s Pontiac GTO is/was? It was one of the most celebrated vehicles EVER! They even had a top 10 song about it, LITTLE GTO, lol.

Today, not only is the GTO gone, so is the division that built them, PONTIAC!

Why?

Because just like you, they insisted it was all good once, and that means it will be again if we just keep doing the same, bullsh**!

PONTIAC executives are now out of a job, their nameplates no longer exist, and shortly, so also will be the DEMOCRATS! They are living on their laurels of a bygone era, and do not even support the same positions they used to. That is exactly WHY their numbers are SHRINKING!

Doubt me, lol.

Then EXPLAIN to all these nice people why----------->Florida was a swing state, but is now solid GOP! Same with Missouri! Looks like Penn is going that way too! Ohio anyone!

You can spin, propagandize, or gaslight all you want..........or maybe, you are actually one of the few who believe what they say. In any case, I don't HAVE TO LIE! Americans have discovered what your people did, and now don't like them! I mean, I could be ignorant and arrogant, and ask how Swalwell and FANG-FANG are doing, but my intention is NOT to talk about DEMOCRATIC/SOCIALIST new age people in congress, because that is to EASY, lol. I want to talk about what they want to DO!

And so, FOR YOU, and ONLY YOU, I will refrain from doing anything obnoxious. Instead, as long as you talk about current, or recently passed policy's, (say 8 years is the limit) I will do the same. If we are civil with each other, then we will have to/should start our own thread, because hijacking PCs thread is NOT cool for either of us.

Have a great 4th of July!

 

[Dr. Phosphorous]

What a stupid post......seems to be your specialty.

Except it's true.

Why does Trump want price controls for Walmart? Why is he a communist?

 

[HikerGuy83]

I am not a resident of New York City, so mayoral candidates there do not concern me.

I recognize the superior knowledge of scientists, medical doctors, and educators in their respective disciplines over political ideologues, however fanatical.

Only dumb folks swallow crap like the Blowhard you worship lying about Black immigrants eating pet cats and dogs.

US judge blocks Trump from ending Temporary Protected Status for Haitians​

Still stuck on this one?

Might want to move on.

Unbeknownst to you.....we didn't buy it either.

Does not matter.

He's still 47 and the SCOTUS is kicking your ass.

 

[HikerGuy83]

This thread has "completely obliterated" the Dunning-Kruger Irony meter.

It's a true USMB classic. A remarkable achievement. A feat of historic proportions. An accomplishment for the ages.

I would agree.....and it's surpassed by the projection you show with every post.

Moron.

Keep barking Fido.....

It's no less funny this time than the 100 times you arfed it out before.

Look out UsedTo Hikeguy. The poor people are coming for your money!!! Hide from the poor people. They have taken all of it to date… and apparently, what, given it to the rich people?

 

[HikerGuy83]

To the best of my knowledge, most poor people have dignity.

You seem like a bigoted idiot.

I am not the one complaining that the problem with this country is free loaders (slang for poor). The narrative that poor people get too much money and that is why the middle class is shrinking is a hilariously stupid argument the GOP made to election victory. Seems like it worked on you.

Jeffries is now talking for many hours and ringing up individual republican congressmen to smear them for the vote. This is what you are. You will kill millions. I say to all people. At some point we will vote hardliner into office. We will have a choice of Communist hardliners of the Progressives or hardliners for local and regional areas. Survival will be the caveat. Smear and destroy individuals is what Progs do.

You have got to be kidding me. Trump is the first president to call his opponents vermin and the first to call on Americans to fight against other Americans since the civil war. Your selective faux outrage knows no bounds in hypocrisy.

I don't ever recall hearing that argument.

Come on back GATOR, I am not done slapping you around yet in front of the USMB board............or are you scared-) Bring your friends, AND your socks, lol. You will need all the help you can get-)

I think you just made his point. You are as uncouth , unpatriotic and disturbing a person as trump is. That is no compliment. It is an affront to intellectuals. I wish I were smart enough to be considered one. trump has no hope of ever becoming one , obviously neither do you.

 

[Mac1958]

I cannot find any alternative, objective surveys that refute the empirical data that confirms that Red States are less-educated than Blue States, but invite those who whine about that reality to post any such studies.

I think it may be time that we admit the obvious.

Trumpsters are clearly better educated, more accurately informed, and far wiser than anyone who doesn't think like they do. Their critical thinking skills are immaculate, their logic is flawless, and their temperaments are consistently solid, mature and steady. In short, the rest of the world should feel fortunate that we are allowed to share the same planet with them.

All you need to do is read the posts they kindly provide us every day here. Further, they are kind enough to gently remind us every day how much more intelligent they are than anyone who doesn't think like they do.

They are simultaneously intimidating and inspirational. The rest of us can only admire it.

That's the only thing you've said that I can agree with. You have an amazing grasp of the obvious.

And you just made my point---------->you are NOT a Democrat, but a SOCIALIST, hiding in Democratic clothes.

If ANY of you want to try and debate, feel free to tell me so, lol. I know you are all on the D or F team for the DNC, but it would be so much fun proving it to USMB-) (of course, I know you will not, because once you are proven to be INCOMPETENT, IRRELEVANT, and IMMATERIAL, you will have no where else to go to collect 2 or 3 cents a post, hahahahahahaha!)

The reason the bunch of you are losing, and appear to be complete a**holes, is because all of YOUR EDUCATED PREDICTIONS turned out to be false! (CORRECT UNLUCKY DUCK, and DERFLOOZY) If all of you predicted it was going to rain tomorrow, all of us would plan to go to the beach to get a tan-) It is 100% true, all of you look like FOOLS!

But please, you and your crew keep PREDICTING, lol. Showing your incompetence is so much easier when you do it yourselves-)
