WARNING - Liberals have completely hijacked the intellectual elite!

[OrlandoGator]

I tell you, it's terrible. When you take a look at the smartest, most sophisticated and creative people in the U.S....it's ALL LIBERALS! Everywhere you turn, if it's intelligent and applies to the real world, it's being said by a liberal.

What I want to know is, when are Republicans going to mount a campaign to take back the intellectual elite? Because right now it's completely overrun with those damn progressive liberals.

If the Republicans really want to turn "intellectual elite" into an insult...by all means, let them.

1. I guess using your brain is a bad thing huh?

:eyes: So by that notion since my dad uses his brain and is an engineer than he is a liberal? Even though he's a republican (the Teddy Roosevelt type thank God he isn't a freeper or fundie).

[OrlandoGator]

2. Not to worry, Bill Clinton is a Teddy Roosevelt Republican, too.

Democrats are far more conservative than Republicans today.

3. Wait a minute (putting on thinking cap)

There's gotta be a few great minds in an organization as large as today's GOP. Lets see, there's Ann Coul....nope, how about Charles Krauth....naah, there's always Bill O'....LOL, (readjusting thinking cap) How about Sean Hann....ROFL, or maybe just maybe * is the intellectual elite of the GOP....ROFLMAO

4. Jesus, thanks for the spit-take.

Yep, I indeed think that George W. Bush is the intellectual pinnacle of the neoconservative movement.

12. That's pronounced and spelled "intelleckshuuahl"

in Bushworld.

5. OR: "WARNING - NeoCons have completely hijacked the mentally deficient!"

6. By the way, this thread was inspired by the new "Merlot Democrats" meme.

If they want to try to marginalize us for being sophisticated and intelligent, who are we to stop them?

11. "Merlot Democrats"...

sounds tasty. I think I will just go pour myself a glass. :)

7. Repugs can take over when they learn to read and think. n/t

8. And the opposite of "Intellectual Elite" would be

Stupid Sheep. Or... Freeper, if you prefer.

9. I'm sorry you are wrong science, empirical evidence and logic are out of

fashion....kill the intellectuals or put them in prison.

fascism rules damn it.

[awoke_in_2003]

10. thank god

it is about time we control SOMETHING

[OrlandoGator]

13. Don't you people understand!

There are almost no conservatives left in the intellectual elite? Those sneaky liberals have taken over our universities and are now the only smart people out there!

The intellectual elite is being run by LIBERALS!

Perhaps I'm the only one amused by the new notion that being intellectual is a bad thing.

[meganmonkey]

16. I'm amused by the fact that once people get educated and intellectual they

BECOME liberal, because liberal is better ;) and the conservatives don't understand it.

When one of them TRIES to become an intellectual conservative, they invariably become an intellectual liberal, because of the laws of nature. So this method backfires.

Once in a while there is an intellectual conservative impostor, but they aren't really intellectual, they just know how to repeat 'smart'-sounding things (e.g. trickle-down theory of economics blah blah blah)

That's my story and I'm sticking to it! :D

14. Who were enemies of Hitler, Pol Pot and Stalin?

Intellectuals!

[Toots]

15. Must be a difference between being smart and being an intellectual

If we were so damn smart we would not be out of Power and having to put up with the disgrace that is occuring in our country.

[porphyrian]

17. How dare we use our intelligence to help all people...

...rather than to see how a few can profit from the rest.

Damn you, progressive intellectuals!
