Anti-Intellectualism and the
Republicans
When I
watched the NBC Nightly News segment on day one (October
1st 2013) of the Government
Shutdown (video below) I felt as though I had been
transported to a La-La Land, hallucinatory state of mind,
“is this truly happening, has the Shutdown become a
reality, did 3 long years of debate between Democrats and
the Republican Tea Party on the Affordable Health Care
act plummet to sort of a victory for the Tea Party
Republicans who were dancing in the streets with joy,
singing the praises of their accomplishment?”
Yes, it happened and yes the Tea Party is overcome
with delight, but why. Never could figure out the WHY in
all this… that is until today while I was still
searching the Internet for answers I came across a
Wikipedia informational piece on the subject of
Anti-intellectualism. Voila, that’s it, when the
Republicans became the PARTY OF NO, their main objective:
Dumbing Down (the deliberate diminishment of an
intellectual level) became their only goal, no more
trying to get work done while making sure the hoi polloi
is slow to understand and dim-witted, we’re out for
blood and stamping out ‘thinking’ and
‘questioning’ by those who can give us power,
should be our only drive. The most frightening part
of all this is… they seem to be succeeding.
