Wow. I’m incredibly bitter and angry about my country’s anti-intellectualism and how it plays out in our politics. Having been raised to consider patriotism a virtue (I’m old, military brat and southern enough), it makes me kinda squirm to openly, sincerely express such a foul opinion of the USA.

@luciferMysticus Someone mentioned that for a country that claims to despise elites, we sure are ruled by a wealthy few.

I feel it's about the elites in question; we have no problems with "normal folks" with money, but we can't stand intelligence or education on display. I feel the only time we value either is when it pays off in immediate profit and I actually feel that's one of the two biggest reasons the right wing hates Obama so, he dared to be *smart* in public.
