Solomon prayed to God, who blessed him with wisdom.

The ignorant people I know pretty well know they are ignorant and do nothing to try to overcome it.

If stupid people were in charge of important things Pakistani spies would control all of the computers and laptops that congressional Representatives use.

In defense against charges that Supreme Court nominee G. Harrold Carswell was “mediocre”, U.S. Senator Roman Hruska, a Nebraska Republican, stated:

“Even if he were mediocre, there are a lot of mediocre judges and people and lawyers. They are entitled to a little representation, aren’t they, and a little chance? We can’t have all Brandeises, Frankfurters and Cardozos.”

Daily Iowan, and specifically ‘editor’ Dan Williams are examples of idiocy privilege.

“The meek shall inherit the earth”

If you truly understand that verse then you know what I am saying.

By the way, hey leftists...I thought you were all about darwinism and the belief in the fittest shall survive?

Now we’re getting into Pol Pot territory. Anyone who wore eyeglasses was an intellectual, therefore a class enemy. In Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge they were to be executed.

Wow!! I guess I’m just ‘lucky’ to have “cognitive privilege”.

Oh course my mom was ‘lucky’ to actually picked cotton (with the proverbial toe-sack)and we were ‘lucky’ to milk the cows and tend to the garden if we wanted to eat then and during the winter. I just love all of the ‘luck’ that “cognitive privilege” gave unto us each and every day.

So, what are some of the ‘luck’ quotes...?

“I’m a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work the more I have of it.”

The harder I work, the more luck I have.Diligence is the mother of good luck.Poor luck is often given as an excuse for lack of energy.

“You make your own luck and must work hard and plan carefully if you would succeed.”

“Of course I hope you will have good luck on your side, but also I hope you will not wait for luck. You can make your own luck by hard work and the use of common sense.”

What a worthless bunch of pansy BS.

I was born smart. My brother was born tenacious and highly competitive. Guess who has gone further in the business world? These little snowflakes don’t want to realize that hard work and tenacity can take you a lot further than skin color and inherited intelligence.

I will think my response to you!

“Thus, the accident of having been born smart enough to be able to be successful is a great benefit that you did absolutely nothing to earn. Consequently, you have nothing to be proud of for being smart.”

Well this idiot was not so fortunately born.

Plenty of people are born smart enough to be successful and achieve nothing. It takes effort and a lot of hard work to turn that potential in to success.

This is just another effort to incite rabid egalitarians to Marxist violence.

“Oh well. So now they are willing to admit that IQ is a herited trait

Without actually reading the original article it seems that the liberatard very carefully skirted the genetics aspect of what he was suggesting.

There is also weight privilege. Those of us who are naturally slender are entitled to designer clothes. The horror!

What about city privilege vs mountain deprivation?

Coastal waterways and ocean privilege over central habitation?

Respiratory privilege vs asthmatic mouth breathers who had no chance to breathe freely?

Red haired caucasians who can’t expose themselves to sun without burning vs the melanin blessed?

Hey Travis....good to see you still around. Still waiting on another book. ;)

Those immigrants must have had abysmally low IQ scores to bring down national averages....

An 80 on the chart used to mark you as retarded. It seems 80 is considered high these days.

Yes, I AM cognitively privileged. 145 last time I checked, but it doesn’t really count because I was stoned off my butt when I took it.
