Why Conservatives hate education

[bullwinkle]

It’s not education conservatives hate. It’s indoctrination. One is learning concepts and supporting facts. The other is learning concepts in spite of the facts. Conservatives would rather spend less time learning falsehoods and more time learning facts.

Surely you jest! Conservatives voted for and continue to bestow godhood on the biggest liar since PT Barnum even knowing Trump and facts are polar opposites.

Democrats elected Cortez, top that for stupidity you can't

Oh yes we can!

Many Trump supporters and Conservatives are less educated than most...and damn proud of it! Celebrating one's dumbness is a badge of honor for them, but why?? The answer can be found way back in the 70's during the reign of Republican Richard Nixon. In a Woody Allen film a beautiful WASPish woman was asked why she thought Mr. Allen (Character name Fielding Mellish) was a traitor to our country, she replied:

"I think Mr. Mellish is a traitor to our country because his views differ from those of the President and his kind, differences of opinion should be tolerated, but not when they're too different, then he becomes... a subversive mother!

Education forces us to consider diverse points of view, too look at things from the perspective of others. Education encourages us to think outside the box, and to seek new solutions, and expand our boundaries of understanding. This stands in stark contrast to the Conservative agenda, which tells us in little bumper sticker slogans that "we're right, and they're wrong!" "We're superior and they're inferior" "We're strong, and they're weak"

History is full of Conservative thinkers who (with the full backing of the church) taught the earth was the center of the universe, the earth was flat, many women were witches, and must be burned, the study of the stars and human autonomy, and other fields of science were the devils works, and the list goes on-

In my 64 years of walking this old rock called planet earth I've learned: Ignorance = Fear. It's fear that tells Conservatives that waves of evil foreigners are invading our great nation from the southern border and spreading violence and disease. It's fear that tells Conservatives they have to own a gun, or they'll be attacked at any minute, it's fear that tells Conservatives our universities are spreading the doctrine of socialism and liberalism, which undermine the values of our fine Christian nation...just like it's fear that makes Conservatives clutch their little bibles, and believe with all their Christian souls, that Donald J Trump is going to build a great, big beautiful, and MEXICO is going to pay for it.

I feel so sorry for these folks, though their intentions are good, they're blindly placing their trust in a man who doesn't give a shit about them at all....

Is this about today's education or the sins of Richard Nixon, bill718? Or do you just want to post an unpleasant reminder of someone everyone disrespects to beat up on Republicans 47 years later about a different topic than corruption on another issue, not education?

That's not a good way to start an honest conversation on education. You think Conservatives are less educated than most? What about your current company? Some of us were top scholars in our college days and earned not only straight A report cards, some of us additionally spent our years in college doing charitable works too such as teaching seniors in nursing homes how to keep their muscles working through senior exercises, engaging in Walks for cancer cures and heart research (two top killers of American people) Foundations, which funds research to prevent and treat uterine cancers, heart diseases, contributing time to handicapped day care centers for parents who cannot find babysitters for their kids they have to pay hospital expenses for with both parents working, hospices, finding ways to fund blankets for squad cars to treat shock victims of terrible auto accidents, etc. (shock kills more people quickly than injuries do over a long stretch of time in roadside accidents) Back in the 80s, reports were coming out that volunteers in America (which many of us mean ol' Republicans did and still do) were often worth to communities more than 5 times minimum wages are.

So far, in your first two sentences, you have (1) brought up the false witness that conservatives might be less educated than you are, and (2) a US President who resigned because of charges against him for having picked a staff that broke into somebody's apartment illegally to get information and (3) A Woody Allen (accused of incest by an ex-wife) film about being a traitor, to make your sorry case. IOW your post starts off as just another DNC treatise to earn pathos instead of fact. Can you say self-fulfilling prophecy gone bad in one paragraph? Well, I can, because I got an A in communications and still remember the points in my textbook about crazymaker methods of persuasion over, not to mention using pathos about something else to make a winning argument not based on reality. I prefer facts, thankyouverymuch, because I know a weak case when I see one.

All that you have opened with is show the chary discerners of truth, that your case is so very week, you have to paint a falsetto picture that is quite irrelevant to any facts you may have stumbled upon to make a case in factuality.

The fact is this: conservatives value education so much that we are willing to battle people crossing the border bring children whose needs are so expensive education-wise (many of them have zero education but are 5th graders by age) that school districts have the choice of either doubling their budgets or setting aside American children's education to have their teachers devote 2/3 of their day communicating educational points to children who cannot speak English, cannot read, and cannot write because of indifidual state laws that ay say say schools have to keep kids together with other children their own age rather than to fail them and put them with younger children. Not every state requires this, but some do, and their burden to teach with aliens who compete for education dollars winds up with the aliens getting free college educations thanks to Democrats, while Americans have to reach down in their pockets, with border-induced higher tax rates than ever, and pay for the education of American citizens' children.

And you're telling me this lie that Conservatives do not value education because we're ignoramuses? If we are, then you are a jellyfish stinging an American child to death in the deep waters that your party's lies have created to drown American citizens in so they can jealously gain a few hundred thousand alien votes.

Exactly how stupid do your party's lies make your loyal opposition, pray tell?

Yes, everyone should...or better yet, everyone MUST by threat of State force, believe what the State tells them.

Orwell was most prophetic.

Sez Gipper as he hands the State over to Trump as he declares a manufactured emergency over his shattered promise that Mexico would pay for the wall. And then tells us Trump kept his promise as America goes broke paying for Trump's whims.

False Premise here, conservatives love education, and always have. All of the Trumps are college men, ditto for many great conservative thinkers like Dr. Gorka, Dr. Corsi, Dr. Falwell and Dr. Savage. What conservatives don't go for is the ABUSE of education, the liberal indoctrination of young skulls full of mush. What the liberal academics at Boston U did to AOC is a disgrace.

LOL. Yeah Trump’s few billion for the wall, is going to bankrupt the nation.

You aren’t good at math.

And they say anyone who doesn’t want a wall is a traitor. Republicans are sick in the head.

Maybe one day these uneducated republicans will realize it was Reagan and the Bush’s who screwed them.

But even when republicans screw them they blame liberals for it.

Republicans have them brainwashed with god, guns and racism. So even when republicans screw them financially or deny global warming they go along like loyal sheep

Who are you trying to kid? Just your cities alone are filled to bursting with hordes of those kept ignorant by Democrat-designed public education, not to mention the idiocy emanating from your political hierarchy. You people tout Cortez as some miracle degree'd in economics, yet she just helped blow one of the most lucrative opportunities New York has seen in years.

There are 282 more of these currently seated in Congress, with madwoman Pelosi leading them all.

Every potential Democrat presidential candidate is an ignorant polyp or a goddam fool. You cannot advance this country with long worn-out Leninist slogans and stupefying redistribution justifications.

As some states are currently finding out, the money will simply go elsewhere.

We are left with timid whimpering flunkies afraid of angst-fueled mobs who get an Adrenalin rush out of something imagined they can hate in good conscience.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Democrats elected Cortez, top that for stupidity you can't

First, places like USMB let Progressives expose themselves as liars, morons and outright idiots, then they have AOC as their guru and thought leader.

First thing she does is to chase Amazon out of NYC. Why? Because she's a moron!

 

[SassyIrishLass]

Conservatives embrace education...just not the left's indoctrination they call education.

 

[Carl in Michigan]

So they decided to champion "plain spoken" qualities, one thing led to another, this momentum built, and suddenly people who sounded intelligent and articulate were demeaned for it. That, of course, led to demeaning the value of education. And, obviously, this has continued with Trump.

A weird phenomenon.

Silly boy....

And you're telling me this lie that Conservatives do not value education because we're ignoramuses? If we are, then you are a jellyfish stinging an American child to death in the deep waters that your party's lies have created to drown American citizens in so they can jealously gain a few hundred thousand alien votes.

Exactly how stupid do your party's lies make your loyal opposition, pray tell?

Beautress, those were the days alright! Peace Corps and Vista programs that organized and channeled good intentions into actions. But the Republicans who gave so much to America, like civil rights...they're gone now. We are left with timid whimpering flunkies afraid of angst-fueled mobs who get an Adrenalin rush out of something imagined they can hate in good conscience.

There is nothing really unique about Peace Corps and Vista , bull. If they disappeared tomorrow, other good will outfits like Mother Teresa's Missionaries of Charity and Pat Robertson's Operation Blessing would still exist. It was never necessary for Big Government to horn in on the charity rackets.

Why conservatives see educators as crooked

Because they cover up SCIENCE

They brainwash students against science

Abortion is the prime example

Causing this big harm this monster imbalance of young to old

Also trump supporters have the highest net worth proving getting worthless degrees as pure fraud

The wise did not fall for that greed trick to line the pockets of crooked educators

Science is screaming educators as corrupt to the CORE !!!

Many Trump supporters and Conservatives are less educated than most...and damn proud of it! Celebrating one's dumbness is a badge of honor for them, but why?? The answer can be found way back in the 70's during the reign of Republican Richard Nixon. In a Woody Allen film a beautiful WASPish woman was asked why she thought Mr. Allen (Character name Fielding Mellish) was a traitor to our country, she replied:

"I think Mr. Mellish is a traitor to our country because his views differ from those of the President and his kind, differences of opinion should be tolerated, but not when they're too different, then he becomes... a subversive mother!

Education forces us to consider diverse points of view, too look at things from the perspective of others. Education encourages us to think outside the box, and to seek new solutions, and expand our boundaries of understanding. This stands in stark contrast to the Conservative agenda, which tells us in little bumper sticker slogans that "we're right, and they're wrong!" "We're superior and they're inferior" "We're strong, and they're weak"

History is full of Conservative thinkers who (with the full backing of the church) taught the earth was the center of the universe, the earth was flat, many women were witches, and must be burned, the study of the stars and human autonomy, and other fields of science were the devils works, and the list goes on-

In my 64 years of walking this old rock called planet earth I've learned: Ignorance = Fear. It's fear that tells Conservatives that waves of evil foreigners are invading our great nation from the southern border and spreading violence and disease. It's fear that tells Conservatives they have to own a gun, or they'll be attacked at any minute, it's fear that tells Conservatives our universities are spreading the doctrine of socialism and liberalism, which undermine the values of our fine Christian nation...just like it's fear that makes Conservatives clutch their little bibles, and believe with all their Christian souls, that Donald J Trump is going to build a great, big beautiful, and MEXICO is going to pay for it.

I feel so sorry for these folks, though their intentions are good, they're blindly placing their trust in a man who doesn't give a shit about them at all....

TRANSLATION

Education forces children to look at the Progressive point of view, that the Founding Fathers were slave owners, committed genocide to the American Indian, and therefore, should be replaced with Karl Marx because the Constitution must then be crap. No need to mention how the Founding Fathers rightly feared democracy and mob rule, a mob rule that is easily steered through such institutions as education and the media. In fact, let's falsely reiterate time and time and time again in class how the US is a Democracy, when in fact, it is a Republic. Then ignore how the Progressives seek to do such things as do away with the Electoral College to turn more and more to a pure democracy and mob rule. Ignore how Progressives have centralized government to the point that the Federal government now has ultimate control over the states, something the Founders feared would happen as they chose the model of Federalism instead and gave the Federal government limited powers. And NEVER teach children about the Fifth Amendment, which gives states the right to amend the Constitution instead of the Federal government. It has never been done and must never be done to curb the power and influence of the Federal government. And when people refer to it, just call it crazy and say if they try we will end up losing all our rights if we let them. Then point to the racism against the black man that once was used to justify the slavery of blacks, while ignoring the fact that these same white folks turned against it all because of the very Constitution that Progressives disdain. Yes, the racist white man was divided on the issue and fought his brother to the death to do away with it. But how could this be?

While we are at it, let us completely ignore the history of how all centralized governments devolve into war provoking dictatorships and how socialism/communism contributed to this. To start, the NAZI regime will not be referred to as socialists, even though they self identified as such and adhered to socialist policies, hated capitalism, and heavily taxed the top 4%. Let's ignore the fact that the Nazi regime was more concerned about the environment and animal rights than human beings they targeted through identity politics to destroy Jews, like the unborn children of today. Yes, let's refer to the Nazi regime as a right wing hate group because they are fascist and fascist now means right wing cuz we say so. Funny how the Foundering Fathers were not fascists yet they are put in the same arena as the Jew hating fascists of the right today. Yep, communist to the left and Nazis to the right of the fake political spectrum, as we ignore the communist and Nazi regimes that were socialist and collectivist utopias.

Let's continue to use class time to pull children from the class room and drag them out into the streets to protest gun rights, instead of teaching them about the Second Amendment and gun rights in the class room. Never mind that the Founding Fathers favored gun rights, even Gandhi favored gun rights, as all fascist and communist regimes in history sought to take guns away from the populace. Ignore the fact that Obama and Holder ran guns across the border to give to drug cartels, which ended up in zero arrests and many, many, innocent murders, while in the same breath touting the need to take guns from law abiding Americans. Then act as though the Trump regime is criminal while Eric Holder was the only AG in US history to be held in contempt of Congress over the gun running scheme.

Let's strip morality from the class rooms and wonder why children bring guns into the class room to shoot the place up, turn to drugs, and watch in horror as amoral human beings are empowered via education to wreak havoc upon society in various ways.

Speaking of morality, to finish them all off, let's tell children that science is better than religion and has completely replaced religion. That's why we only give you knowledge but refuse to give you any moral instruction whatsoever. Let's tell them that history shows that the church attacked science, burned scientists at the stake for their findings, and believe in fables that contradict science while ignoring the fact that this all occurred under oppressive centralized governments, which was the true culprit. Fables such as the Garden of Eden should be ridiculed because we all know that our origins are in evolution, after all, science tells us this. Yes, ignore the story of a man and a woman told not to eat of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil because they will surely die if they do. Now why do you suppose that the tree was called the tree of knowledge of good and evil? Could it be that the message here is, knowledge without wisdom brings death? Could it be that science, not the Bible, is at the heart of all our ills today? Could they be as blind not to see that such issues as global warming, the threat of WMD's, over population, non-reproducing vegetation that is slowly overtaking those that reproduce naturally, AI and all it's future threats, are because of having knowledge without wisdom? Why is it such knowledge stands on the verge of destroying all of mankind while religion continues to be blamed?

No matter, to hell with them all!! Promote abortion to limit their numbers, run wreckless deficits so that future generations have no real future at all, and then medicate them by legalizing as many illicit drugs as humanly possible so that they won't rise up in protest, while allowing those drugs to continue to flow into the country that has no border security. Then pretend that morality only matters when it comes to walls. Yes friends, the only immorality in the world today are walls.

So they decided to champion "plain spoken" qualities, one thing led to another, this momentum built, and suddenly people who sounded intelligent and articulate were demeaned for it. That, of course, led to demeaning the value of education. And, obviously, this has continued with Trump.

A weird phenomenon.

Silly boy....

Deflection noted, and appreciated.

I don't know about anyone else, but I really noticed this change beginning with Dubya, and really accelerating with Sarah Palin. Obligated to protect and defend their candidates for partisan reasons, they had to come up with a way to spin for candidates who were, uh, somewhat less than articulate.

In an attempt to smear others as dumb or uneducated, you reveal that you believe really stupid stuff.
