“You’ve got to have a degree to be able to know anything, duh. Not that there’s not value in degrees, but I hate the idea that without the letters behind your name, you’re not worth listening to. I don’t think any of the founding fathers had a degree, but then their document was only 4 pages long. Obviously a fail.”

sometimes it doesn’t matter even if you DO have the letters behind your name…

So somehow, all this auto bailout stuff falls back onto elitist pretensions and the defenestration of the middle class? Sounds about right in our current media and political climate.

Obama’s plan is not concerned about the companies of GM or Chrysler. It’s about pushing his green agenda. Americans only worry about using gasoline when costs are high. When costs are low, not so much. He’ll try to make us buy crappy little cars. He believes in global warming. We do not.

But, if your company breaks down, you’ve got to go to the experts on the ground, not the bureaucrats.

People who don’t have law degrees and who don’t live in the Imperial Capital can’t possibly be expert at anything. The best they can hope to achieve is to become a Community Organizer in the service of our Glorious Leader, the Messiah of The Holy Teleprompter (pbuh).

An old war song comes to mind, “We’ve done it before and we can do it again.” Way before my time, but these words meant something then and they still would if anyone in DC really gave a rat’s a–! Lee was a doer, not a “think tanker.” He was on the board of directors for the company to which I gave 20 years of my time and efforts. Really a great man.
