We have a kakocracy ruling this country. Betters? Ha! The worst.

>>” the Golden Corral of the mind”<<

When undertaking to scold people for being elitist, it is generally a bad idea to be guilty of elitism.

I think Golden Corral is pretty good and a heck of value for the $.

I guess I am too middle-America for the author.

One thing I learned years ago is when making an argument, avoid embellishments since if your embellishment gets shot down, so does your argument.

Another brilliant column by Schlichter.

[workerbee]

A college student was an invitee to an intellectual banquet where he could sample the best of Western civilization, of art and literature, of civics and philosophy. But today, it’s all gender studies and grade inflation, with whiny social justice warriors drowning out any voice that won’t sing in tune. It is steam table trays heaped with gray, fatty meat and limp asparagus - the Golden Corral of the mind.

I swoon.

"its idolization of people who erotically abuse the foliage"

Writing that Hemingway would be proud of....

[Night Hides Not]

The comment about Golden Corral was gratuitous, and uncalled for, the kind of comment that he was griping about.

[bert]

And, it was wrong.

[z3n]

To help make, or at the least to allow to manifest, problems with one hand, and to hold up false solutions with the other hand that are designed to accumulate money and power; that is what our betters are better at. We are a nation that allows sociopaths to promote themselves by any clever means necessary and marvels at their power and arrogance like fan girls.

[Nothingburger]

Schlichter is definitely on a roll in this column ... but I still like the fresh yeast rolls at Golden Corral, along with the fried chicken and nearly everything else they serve.

These are supposed to be our betters???? I don’t think so.

[SMARTY]

True and also, part of the problem is ... we have a society which lets young people (actually encourages them) to habituate themselves to lionize ‘celebrities’. They grow up to be adults capable of the most simple-minded idolatry of totally mundane and ill-qualified people in American public life.

The MSM can easily (and does) manufacture a cult of personality around otherwise worthless and even criminal people who have nothing to recommend themselves to our notice much less our approval or adulation.

[LaRueLaDue]

Kurt has never been to a Golden Corral.

For later

[subterfuge]

Harvey Weinstein should hook up with the woman who has sex with the earth.

[Terry L Smith]

If there is someone walking the face of the Earth, that did not wear diapers, nor striped them, then MAYBE they might be a ‘better’.

Therefore, those that think themselves ‘the betters’ can go wet a rope!

At least the Golden Corral offers choices. Today’s university would be more like a People’s Liberation Army mess hall.

They are legends in their own minds—the punch lines of jokes for everyone else.
