ah, the MSM..........and when dictatorial powers become established, historically, what segment of the culture are among the first to be "kicked in the gutter" if not executed?

And may all keep in mind the difference between egotistical and egoistical.............

"....the veiled anti-intellectualism inherent in the attacks on people with Ivy degrees."

I did not take it as "anti-intellectualism", but as anti-elitism, which can have many foundations other than intellectual.

Sometimes too much education can ruin people, especially since we are seeing what these prestigious universities are teaching these days. Some people are taught how to think, what to believe, even how to behave. It depends on who is teaching them to know how they might turn out. Take Obama for example, it would be interesting to compare grades of his with the grades that Walker got to date. Oh, that's right, Obama has hidden his grades. Could it be that perhaps they weren't so good because maybe he smoked a lot of pot or crack most of his college years? How could he prove otherwise? Who knows? I think someone might have helped out to get him a law degree, sort of like the same as the books he supposedly wrote. But then again, he may have written them from a teleprompter.

Excellent P.A. +10

Nor has anyone in his law school class remembered him being there.....................

Roark had no college degree.............AR did not reveal how many units he acquired before the dean (hmmm Howard?) summarily booted him...................as for Howard Dean.........consider the source. KOTCB (Kneeling Over The Commode Barfing)

I can't help but like Walker, even when I disagree with him (which is not often).

He's also dense -- as in impervious.

Scott Walker is at least TRANSPARENT. Too bad Joan Rivers isnt alive. She would make a good president. She would tell it like it is for a change, and not hide behind agendas.

BTW (By the way)

My response was to samrigel's comment.

Sometimes the reply function seems to shift in order.

I love this topic. College? Harvard? Here is a good evaluation on the "value" of college in the REAL world.
If you want to see some VERY interesting statistics look here.
http://www.bls.gov/oes/2012/may/oes_nat....

Average Salaries for the Chief Executives, 255,940 of them is $120,060/yr. Most of whom have MBA's of some type.

Software Engineers, many I know personally who have minimal "higher education."
391,700 of them earning an average of $102,000.00 or $47.59/hr.

Construction Managers, some of whom I know who have barely graduated high school.
207,580 of them earning an average salary of $90,960/year or $39.80/hr.

College not required to do well.

Take you car BMW to that shop and look at your $90.00/hr bill + parts, you entrust to that ASE Certified mechanic who may not have graduated high school. My neighbor is one and he hears $40.00/hr of that $90.

Love it! Thank you!

Actions speak louder than words. Rock on Mr. Walker.

I left college with 154 credits and no degree. Looking back over 50 years, I used very little of what I learned in those 154 credits with any position I held. While I look back in awe at what I accomplished, if I was to start over, I would be a welder or an electrician. I had a few good instructors who taught me how to think for myself, but about 90% plus just wanted to tell me what to think.

Internet acronym for Rolling on the floor laughing my a$$ off.

Obviously I have trouble composing it right. (:-(

LOTFRMAF - Looter Obama's Two Faced Rotter Mentality And Fraud?

I thought it was ROTFLMAO - "Rolling On The Floor Laughing My A** Off..."

Sorry to be a pain. What does ROTFLMAF mean?

Still on the first cup of coffee

Obama is transparent? I always thought he looked rather dense (as in opaque) to me.

Help! What does Lotfrmaf mean?

I suppose a candidate's level of formal education might be relevant if it were seriously being asserted that he/she lacked the mental capacity or training to carry out the duties of the particular office. That is not the case with Walker so this issue is trivial unless he was tossed out of college for cheating or some other behavior which might tell us something about his character. Again, that is not the case with Walker. On the other hand, I don't understand the veiled anti-intellectualism inherent in the attacks on people with Ivy degrees. Some such graduates are severely misguided and others are not. Why attack them all with a broad brush? If you don't care for Obama, for instance, (and I do not) why attack him for his degrees from Columbia and Harvard? Instead, try engaging on the wrong headedness of his ideas, principles and policies. To take the "I hate pointy headed Ivy graduates" approach undercuts the seriousness of your argument and makes it appear as if you oppose education. [Disclosure: I have an Ivy degree]

Since the get-go, I have for years been looking straight through the emperor too.
