Study: Spoiled, wealthy college students more likely to support terrorists
daily caller ^ | 3/20/2014 | Scott Greer

The story of the Boston bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev shocked the American public consciousness and made many ask: how could a person with a good education from a well-off family turn out to be a terrorist?

Support terrorists? How about become one? Paging billy boy ayres. Guilt due to being wealthy and somehow sympathizing with the downtrodden. Maybe that's why there's a lot of wealthy liberals out there. Of course not too guilty to divest themselves of their wealth for the "greater good".

Yeah, but college students are truly the dumbest among us.

They think they know everything, but they know absolutely nothing.

Liberals just don’t understand terrorists or Islamic terrorism.

Liberals like to think that crime or terrorism happen because people are grappling with poverty. In their worldview, this is what they expect.

It confounded them that Bin Laden came from one of the wealthiest families in Saudi Arabia. They just can’t get their minds around the fact that Islamic terrorists from good backgrounds are willing to die for Allah.

In fact, they can’t get their minds around the fact that there is Islamic terror in the first place. They call Islam a religion of peace, and deny that Islamic terrorists are doing things in the name of their religion.

Here’s a crazy thing to try.

Google “terrorist scarf”.

There’s actually a “terrorist chic” fashion trend going on.

Still wonderin’ who payed the tab for this asshat. That is if he ever attended these schools or some clone did it for him. “You didn’t do that. No. Somebody else did that.” “If you like your Crimea, you can keep your Crimea.”

What else is new?

I remember how the 1960s Marxist-Alinsky campus radical, psycho spoiled brats were celebrated in the establishment MSM as the most intelligent generation ever! They are now arguably that very establishment that praised them and they hold themselves and their ideological issue in even higher regard.

Saul Alinsky's "Rules for Spoiled Brats".

There's always the theory that the entire Left was created and is run by the wealthy for the purpose of consolidating their control over all resources through government monopoly ownership.

The Left still spouts that talking point that terrorism is caused by poverty.

Bin Laden was a billionaire.
Arafat was a billionaire.
Half of the world’s 10 richest men lived in the middle east around 9-11-2001.

Those kids are financially protected and may not understand reality as others do in some cases.

I read something awhile back that homed in on the fact that the people who support terrorists are from the same socio-economic group as those who support other political activities and speech— the upper middle class. The point was that these people are doing violently what the other people in their demo are doing peaceably.

It’s not disenfranchised, down and out people who terrorize, it’s people of some means who feel like making an (evil) impact.

Just remember that sophomore comes from two Greek words meaning "wise fools."

” the people who support terrorists are from the same socio-economic group as those who support other political activities and speech— the upper middle class. “

The upper middle class is that one sliver of economic strata where the most hateful people seem to come from. Terrorists, vitriolic liberals, the ‘mean girl’ bullies that cause suicides in their victims and usually the Obama voting SUV fluffy hair stay at home Oprah fans that I often rant and rave about.
