Comments on: Rush And Oklahoma’s Anti-Intellectualism http://www.okobserver.net/2009/02/02/rush-and-oklahomas-anti-intellectualism/ To comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable Fri, 27 Jan 2012 03:45:53 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: Andrew http://www.okobserver.net/2009/02/02/rush-and-oklahomas-anti-intellectualism/comment-page-1/#comment-27 Andrew Tue, 03 Feb 2009 20:48:11 +0000 http://www.okobserver.net/?p=715#comment-27 While I listen to Rush Limbaugh from time-to-time, I do not get my marching orders from him. Rush is basically an entertainer who uses politics as a tool to put forth a message. Take it or leave it. Sure, he's immensely popular but I doubt that if you spoke to many of these folks you disdain that they would say that they agree with everything he says. Regarding President Obama. Well, there have been a number of lawsuits calling for the president to settle the matter of his birthplace once and for all. Each one has been rejected by the Supreme Court. It doesn't change the fact that the president has refused to offer the long form of his official birth certificate, not the live birth certificate offered by the State of Hawaii. Was he born in Kenya? Only Obama and his close associates know for sure. As for William Ayers, there has been plenty of information placed in the mainstream media proving they were and assumedly remain friends. If you compare the writings in Ayers' books and Obama's books, there is an odd similiarity in writing styles. Did Obama the scholar who never wrote anything for the Harvard Law Review even though he was editor in 1990, ghost write Ayers' books? I think not. And your crack about homeschoolers was unnecessary. Would you rather they attend some chaotic public school where discipline is absent and the disruptive children keep the smart children from getting the attention they deserve? Homeschooled children I've met are some of the most intelligent and polite young people I've had the pleasure to meet. The average public school kid??? As for screwballs and dimwits, well, it seems to me that Gene Stipe and his corrupt buddies were Democrats. Mike Mass? Randall Erwin? Don't get me started. Oklahoma is not behind the curve, it's ahead of the curve. Oklahomans know the score and voted accordingly. They know an Obama presidency is not good for our state. And two weeks in, we can all see that it's been a rather bumpy road for Obama and company. I'd say he has poor judgment.
