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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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!

I like Golden Corral but I acknowledge that it ain’t fine dinning and is best for kids, seniors and large hungry bus groups.

[FreedomOfExpression]

I agree that he could have used a much better way to illustrate the way colleges are today. Elementary school cafeteria food would be a much more fitting illustration of his point. In my day it was tasteless, bland food that had little nutritional value.
That being said, his overall point is true. We have Felonia von Pantsuit, other elites, and the media scolding and lecturing the commoners when they themselves are so morally and in many other ways inferior to those they are talking down to.

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.

It's also engineering, physics, chemistry, accounting, supply-chain management, and so on.

[Future Snake Eater]

I love the folks bitching about his Golden Corral comment. His point is valid—college was supposed to be for cultivating the elite among our society, instead it’s been devolved into an overpriced, bland, anti-intellectual experience.

Golden Corral is fine for what it is, but it sure as hell ain’t “elite.”
