Don't you know? The Bible says "Rely not on your own understanding." Dem college intellectuals are commies and hate America.

Well even if it is a bit of... a weird gaff, he does actually have a point in a kind of weird way. Intelligent, well educated, people tend to trend away religious and fundamentalist values, it's because they tend to ask questions, especially difficult questions, and fundamentalists aren't good with questions, they usually fail to answer them or answer them with insane logic.

It was the same reason why Stalin didn't like intellectuals.

You have a point Pnx but you still should not point it out (to your clientele). It's like saying: if you like my ideas you are stupid.

So ... this is a parody? not a genuine newspaper article. right?

Oh man. It's actually real.

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

This reeks of satire  :-\

To be fair, American politics are more absurd than satire. The truth is stranger than fiction.

I knew this was the real deal from the start, not spectacular enough for a satire piece, plus the attack on Libertarian Republicans isn't something the other side would dream up.

Scaring away the moderates as well as the libertarians? Sounds like winning GOP policy to me!
