"I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man."
— Joe Biden on Obama.
Socialism is just the modern word for monarchy.
D.C. has become a Guild System with an hierarchy and line of accession much like the Royal Court or priestly classes.
Private citizens are perfectly able of doing a better job without "apprenticing".
It's the Jacksonian tradition. To paraphrase Walter Russell Meade, "the problems are complicated, the solutions are simple."
That is a flattering way to characterize things in the current Republican center of mass. It is also fair to describe many Republicans
as distrustful of cultural elites, science, technology and achievement. Their ploy in response to the fact that most people
with advanced academic degrees are liberal and irreligious is to label attainment of excellence as effeminate and immoral. To be
precise and careful and eloquent is to be politically correct. If you are, well, frankly, incoherent, mendacious and very much like the Bush vignette I posted
here, is to be plainspoken and "our kinda folks."
I'm sorry, I'm not following your kinda folks anywhere. Dumbass is not nearly the superlative Republicans think it is.
