Why They Fear Scott Walker "...... Walker’s success despite not obtaining that degree represents a real threat to the government’s education cartel, the public unions it sustains, and the maintenance of the pipeline of left-liberal groupthink and its young adherents.

There is not, and has not been for a long time, a question of the existence of overwhelming liberal bias at institutions of higher education. The inquiries into the phenomenon focus on why that structural bias exists and persists. Whatever the reasons, it’s easy to understand why the liberal establishment wants to protect the biased architecture of American education......"

College “careers” are overrated. If DemocRATS with Diplomas are so damned smart, why the hell did they elect the Kenyan? Twice!

Yep, the left hates when you don’t attend their liberal indoctrination camps that are disguised as Universities these days.

Its classical progressive thinking.Walter Lippman was one of those classical progressives.

Lippmann was an early and influential commentator on mass culture, notable for not criticizing or rejecting mass culture entirely, but discussing how it could be worked with to keep democracy functioning. In his first book on the subject, Public Opinion (1922), Lippmann said mass man functioned as a "bewildered herd" who must be governed by "a specialized class whose interests reach beyond the locality." The elite class of intellectuals and experts were to be a machinery of knowledge to circumvent the primary defect of democracy, the impossible ideal of the "omnicompetent citizen". This attitude was in line with contemporary socialist thinking.

:: Outside of that world, neither grades, nor school pedigree, nor even possession of a finished degree matter very much. ::

So...we should less of college credentials presented to a graduate of Idaho-Moscow.

Then, downgrade that a bit more if the student was a scholarship-athlete for, say, the women’s basketball team.

What would the “Maverick of the Senate” answer?

Presidents without college degrees: Andrew Jackson, Martin Van Buren, Zachary Taylor, Millard Millmore, Abraham Lincoln, Andrew Johnson, Grover Cleveland, Harry Truman

The Republicans, if they stop being the Stupid Party should have fun with this. The Elitist Democrats attacking the (whatever) percentage who don't have college degrees? Attacking Abraham Lincoln? Criticizing the capabilities of Bill Gates, Matt Damon, Thomas Edison, LeBron? Criticizing those who bravely fought to defend their country instead of attending college?

wow

Anybody ever seen any proof of Barry Soetoro’s so called “college career”? I haven’t. I don’t know if he ever even went to college. His entire life has been sealed to the general public.

The Demonrat party is made up of the overeducated elite, and an equal part of the dumbest uneducated slugs in America.

The standard Demonrat line is that Republicans are evil rich billionaire CEOs, and at the same time uneducated knuckle-dragging rubes clinging to their guns and eating road-kill for dinner.

The media never bothers to question Demonrats on how they figure uneducated Republicans managed to acquire all the wealth, take over big business and Wall Street, and do it with only a 3rd grade education?

I think we should be able to see all of his transcripts.

But only after we see Obama’s transcripts and whether he applied as a foreign student.

21 months before the election and the mainstream media has already done more vetting of Scott Walker than they ever did of Barack Obama.

George Washington didn’t have any kind of a degree. I’m not sure he even got out of grade school. But he did do a slightly better than average job, all things considered.

College-educated pols gave us the cesspool of an economy and popular culture we have now. If we want to get out of the manure pile we are in now, I would be willing to try someone that the “educated” moron Howard Dean considers “uneducated”. It would be tough to do worse than the blockhead “scholar” Obama that we have now.

Ideally, college study helps to form the whole person.

what a patently elitist thing to say ....I can point to several million tradesman who skipped college and crafted careers, and rebuilt post war communities

College Degrees in Gerbilizm, trans-gender studies, political “science”, etc. are worse than useless.

This is a crap argument/discussion. There is no education requirement for the office; not for a college degree, not for high school diploma. The fascists want this to become a heated argument. Blow them off and remind them again that their whining about degrees is elitist. Slam them with that and show them your back; they will move on to the next attack.

Although I find Gov. Walker’s non-graduation refreshing -
has he been in government all his career?

They must realize that he can win the election.

I don’t care about degrees. I do care about a president who openly welcomes people who have professed their hate for us.

Given that nearly all colleges are breeding grounds of socialism and feminism, one could view the lack of a degree as a positive. One could also view it as meaningless either way. At the end of the day it’s a piece of paper. He’s succeeded without it, proving he didn’t need it.
