Not only was Hitler knowledgeable about Judaism.
He helped Germany recover from the Weimar hyper-inflation and somehow built post WW1 Germany into an industrial powerhouse.
One of the key points of his domestic remedy - simply expelling Jewish people from positions in government, business, and academia.
Something worked for Germany.
THAT could not go un-punished.
I do not find anything about shithead entertaining.
Although I am sure people all over the world are laughing at him.

It's pretty amazing how smart the TDS crowd thinks they are.
Compare the education levels of trump supporting states to blue states and you'll see.

I've met quite a few educated people and they are dumd as shit when it comes to real problems. Education means nothing if they have never worked a day In their lives and sponged off their parents or student loans for their education.
People with college education make more money than people without a degree. If more people in the country have degrees the country does better.
It's just that simple.

I disagree with this. The country does better economically, doesn't mean the people do better. The graduating student owing six figures to the government is in no way better for the student, but it makes the government look a lot more profitable, just like a large corporate hiring contract employees so it doens't have to pay benefits or holidays is more profitable on the books. Sure it looks better, but does it actually create a better company? I work with a lot of people who have PhD's, the large majority of these people have trouble doing basic tasks on their computers, the most necessary of all tools in the workforce today. Higher education doesn't mean higher intelligence, it simply means you can play the game better. It's almost Pavlovian, the more letters you 'earn' after or before your name, the more 'treats' society rewards you with. You're right though, it is very simple.
i'm afraid that there are plenty of folks with degrees holding down jobs that involve a whole lot of "you want fries with this, ma'am ?..."
Brother, this has nothing to do with dogs salivating. On a individual level it has to do with the mental ability to do more complex tasks and having specialized knowledge that others don't have. People who don't have the capacity don't make it through college. People having the ability and the specialized knowledge, certified by a degree, generally have something they can make a better living with.
Bringing this back to my original point, Blue states generally have populations with more education and higher average income levels. This is easily verifiable. On a larger scale look at all European countries having free college and their standard of living. My wife was educated in Europe and she got something that blows away what's going on here.
I agree with you that higher education does not necessarily mean higher intelligence on an individual scale. On a large scale it probably does. This can be seen in numbers of college drop outs - they didn't have it. To your point, I think that anyone who has the ability should be able to go to public colleges for free.
Sad but true.

I don't know Zeez, I salivate when money is held in front of me, as I believe do the majority of people. I also understand to get that treat that makes me salivate I have to play their game, e.g. hear their bell ringing. Humans can learn to ring the bell themselves though, so I guess that's where it differs. I wasn't trying to attack either, but I found your statement pretty broad and basic, so thanks for expanding on it.
My point was what is 'better'? The country I live in has a higher average IQ and higher average happiness than the US, but are we doing better economically, no. Higher incomes can also lead to more class disparity, I don't see that as a good thing, regardless of what color you rep. Just because the Bay area is better off than Flint Michigan economically and at the intelligence level, deosn't mean you or I can afford to live there or would want to. Neo-liberalism isn't the left as much as neo-conservativism isn't the right.

Thanks for the reply White Beard. My post was in response to med4u claiming Alinsky tactics were used only by dems or libs as he claimed. I was pointing out the tea party used Alinsky's tactics.
This was my post right below med4u.

I hear you Brother. It was broad and basic, but true, even the expanded. This is another level. Another term for it is social stratification (Burger King degree). It does create animosity, but I believe that it is good to have a motivation to want to do better and a cookie when you get there, just as long as some people don't get to steal all the cookies and fuck everybody else. I've worked in communist countries in the late 80's. It sucks. Also lived and worked in "socialist" countries. They are not really socialist, it's a misnomer.
I think we had it going pretty well in the 50s 60s and 70s, except for the war. The thing was that all the competition was decimated and rebuilding after WWII. Since then it's been all down hill and our acquired wealth was squandered on the war machine.
I respect your opinion and wouldn't take it as an attack. I listen to intelligent opinions and try to keep learning. Finding that I'm wrong isn't a bad thing.
You do not need to have a collage education to succeed. We teach and learn from others. As long as you have a HS education you wont have any issues doing complex tasks unless you have learning disabilities. Its ridicules when you need a AA just to get a interview today. To many company's are requiring higher education for positions that don't need them. New hires with AA/masters couldn't do much. We had to train them to be as competent as we where. .
