    First of all, are you saying you don't consider me an intellectual? Secondly, the post quoted doesn't pass any test for being anti-intellectual. Thirdly, the world as a whole regards academic institutions as being more liberal in nature. It's a given. Fourthly, were I anti-anything...

    No. Where did you get this notion?

    Bold Confessions of a Nerd-Party Candidate

    For the record, I again state that I don't trust any politicians. I am sympathetic with the idea of being anti-government because you can't seem to trust anyone in the government. Indeed, anyone in a position of power is suspect, or so it would seem. Based on ideology alone do I feel the best...

    Bold Confessions of a Nerd-Party Candidate

    So your belief in satire trumps my beliefs, whatever they may be? You say beliefs are made to be ignored or laid aside yet you firmly, wholeheartedly, unequivocally believe in satire? That makes very little sense to me. Instead it seems an attempt to be disingenuous. If your son or daughter or...

    Thanks. I hope those people that are anti-intellectualists stop what they are doing, whoever they are.

    Bold Confessions of a Nerd-Party Candidate

    He sounds like a kook. If Todd Palin is involved in an Alaskan terrorist organization then the people of the country need to know this. I'm not against it at all. My sense of humor can be very black, very dark, very crude and very tasteless but I pick my moments. Just a week or two ago, we...

    Bold Confessions of a Nerd-Party Candidate

    I"m bolding this for emphasis, that this is my failing to continually not finish thoughts, with an explanation later why it happened this time. I love humor too. BUT..... It is no more appropriate to apply satire or other political humor right before an important election, than it is to use...

    Bold Confessions of a Nerd-Party Candidate

    Whatever associations are true then we all need to know about them. I've never claimed otherwise. You and your sources are the ones not wanting to stay in the middle ground and consider all options. If McCain has ties to a terrorist, then lets see them all. I have no problem with that and you...

    Bold Confessions of a Nerd-Party Candidate

    Funny? Um, I don't think so. Appropriate? I don't think so. I don't care if Obama was eight or not when they first "met". You conveniently forget that he and Ayers have had political dealings and the association with a terrorist is therefore of great importance. If anyone chooses to ignore...

    Hardly small mistakes. FOXNews.com - Did Biden Get It Wrong? You Betcha - Opinion Considering the latest debate, I think that both men, though different idealogically, represent well and I see no differentiation based on intelligence. If anything McCain clearly has the most experience. The...

    Grim, I think it's an inane question to ask anyone (note this isn't about Palin but applies to anyone) to name one source of information they've read. For God's sake, who cares if she names one? Why do you care unless you're just being picky. I strongly believe that if she had answered with...

    I suppose vacuous applies to her as much as mean spirited applies to Biden. That's my opinion. Biden comes off as pushy, easily agitated and most likely to bluster and aggrandize his presence when he feels he's pushed. He's clearly a better speaker, but I would expect that from a politician of...

    As a rebuttal of the original post and poking fun at Palin, I give you Biden's shining moment on youtube. I would think your darker side is going to have a good laugh again, Grimhelm! YouTube - No Way Obama - Joe Biden Rewrites History

    I'm watching the VP debate and Palin seems to be speaking fine.
