What exactly is an intellectual in your book,
the minimum qualification would be not being a moonbat..(ch)
and whats so bad about being one?
there is none..the author of the article (and he has a book on the subject too, Thomas Sowell, is an intellectual in my book...the intellectuals that contributed to the betterment of people's lives and I admire the most are probably our Founding Fathers, and their principles they founded are still working..
the intellectuals that I am very suspicious about are the ones on the left..to me many of them are pseudo-intellectuals since they fail to draw the right conclusions from history, analyze their own ideas and their consequences followed..also intellectuals are great when they do what they know best, like Bill Gates and computers..when they start worrying about the rest of humanity, lifting people from poverty, advocating what the rest of us should do..in other words, building own legacy and playing popularism..
