Santorum Stands By Calling Obama a “Snob”
Rick Santorum took a swipe at the president's higher education push on Saturday.
"President Obama once said he wants everybody in America to go to college," Santorum said. "What a snob.”
The GOP candidate was speaking to a crowd of Tea Party activists in Troy, Michigan.
“Not all folks are gifted in the same way,” he explained. “Some people have incredible gifts with their hands...there are good decent men and women who go out and work hard every day and put their skills to test that aren’t taught by some liberal college professor trying to indoctrinate them. Oh, I understand why he wants you to go to college. He wants to remake you in his image. I want to create jobs so people can remake their children into their image, not his."
His comments echoed remarks he made on Friday, calling colleges "indoctrination mills."
As the Washington Post points out, Santorum's criticisms are curious considering his three advanced degrees. He holds a Bachelor's, a law degree and an M.B.A.
Obama is currently pushing a plan to make college more accessible by reforming federal student aid and providing incentives for colleges to keep their tuitions under control. He first introduced the initiative in his State of the Union speech.

Attaboy, Tricky Ricky. You're doing fine by spewing out out useless
insults. You have no " vision " for America, no executive experience,
no plan worth mentioning to make a difference to 300 Million Americans.
So you play your bluff hand close to the vest, keep up your pretense
that you're fit for the Oval Office, when you're clearly not, and make
your bid for the gravy train. Ask not what you can do for America, only
ask what America can do for you, huh ? You're a God damned piece
of work, mister. You, Romney, Gingrich should be running away from
any candidacy instead of running for it. If you 3 tools were honest, no
doubt you would be. Every day that passes makes me believe more
and more that it was Bush who vetted Nobama to keep his seat warm
for Jeb Bush to be nominated instead as Henry Kissinger was boasting
to the Chinese. Because except for Ron Paul, who is the only honest
R candidate, Tricky Ricky, Mutt, et al not worth mentioning are POSERS.What do I mean by that ? I think the Rs freak show depends on making
people believe these tools are anything other than what they realy are-
a distraction. You don't have to be a duck hunter to understand what
a decoy is. I think these tools of the .0001% are using them as their
marionette show to pretend. So that Jeb Bush can do an end run
and be voted their concensus candidate as has been speculated
in 3 other articles I've blogged here on this website. I hope I'm wrong.
And that doesn't happen. But I've seen the Bush Dynasty's tactics
in 2000, 2004, and 2008. And I'd have to be a foolish ignoramus
to not have good ground to rationaly suspect the Bushes plan their
voter Fraud again in November, 2012. I've been following all the
excellent, informative, news articles wbradleyjr1 has been posting
here prolificly for over a year now. And all the evidence points to
the charade Romney, Gingrich, and Santorum have been staging. - 3 months ago

Why stop with the attacks on public education and college education? Why not abolish the right of women to vote. Bring back slavery and prohibition. Limit the right to vote to free white men over the age of 21 who own property. After all you are the candidate of the past not the future.

Amen to that. Their stage play reminds me more of a poker game than
anything else. In one scene of the Paul Newman movie, Cool Hand Luke,
George Kennedy looked at his hand after the game, and said; " Nothin'
You won with nothin' ! " Luke: " In poker you don't have to have a winning
hand to win. If you know how to bluff well, you can win with nothin' " - 3 months ago

Well, I remember when Obama came back from Europe once and said how the Europeans speak two and three languages. Implying, of course, that Americans are stupid for not speaking more languages.
But if students go to colleges like this one, then we will have a bright future:

I understand that there may be implications that are hard to avoid, but we need to get past the illusion that students can be evaluated on their degree of multi-lingualism, while still encouraging students to learn foreign language. I don't look at people who know only one language negatively. I don't look at people who cannot learn any language at all negatively. It's unfortunate.
If you feel someone is being condescending, then feel free to politely point that out, and we can find a way around it - let's have that discussion. Education needs to be a positive experience for people of all ages and backgrounds. Still, the American English dialect is losing traction to Asian English dialects. Isolationism doesn't help here. We cannot presume to understand, and be understood in these dialects, and that may affect how our young adults are placed in a global society.
I have looked at Libertarian messages before, so you don't need to recommend any. Suffice it to say that I do realize the value of cutting costs of government already.

The reference was only about Obama's attitude. It was condescending.
Anyone can learn a foreign language, however. But it is up to the individual. We should not be compared to Europeans in a negative and condescending manner, especially by our president.
I am not a Libertarian by any means. I support a few of their ideas, but I find much lacking with them.
Glad to see that you realize the value of cutting government.

My father's clan, the Ficks, first entered Pennsylvania in 1704. My
dad's clan emigrated there from Germany and the Netherlands,
becoming what today we call the Pennsylvania Dutch. Some of us
were Menonites, some Amish. Some of us became Quakers aka
the Society of Friends, who strictly believed in non violence toward
others. We're farmers, and lived close to the land. My parents'
parents themselves much later on migrated through Ellis Island,
and settled in upstate New York. Yet one of the highs of my life
was to shop at Sodders, an Amish natural foods supermarket
outside of Elmira, New York. I realize not all Pennsylvanians
share the History my forbears do. But I've had a chance to my
self travel through Pennsylvania, check out their architecture,
shop in their stores, talk to their people. And it truely puzzles
me how such salt of the earth could have voted such a NeoCon
as Santorum. A person even whose name per se is anathema
to his guileful nature. for there's nothing sacred about him.For months now. I've blogging stories on all the outrageously
offensive, irrelevant, and foolish things this guy Santorum
has been spewing out to get attention. Compared to the
Pennsylvanians I know of, that guy is assumably alien to
what they appear to be. My gut tells me he's as bogus a
poser as they come. And like nearly all the other Rs con
tending for the nomination, a complicit part of their freak
show. He's an unknown who apparently can't be credited
with any real accomplishments other than sucking up to
further his own portfolio. And being preened by disreputable
big shots who line his pockets from behind the scenes.
I can't think of a more mala fide candidate unfit for the
Presidency. He has no " vision " for the USA except to
line his own pockets. - 3 months ago

I almost fell off my chair when I heard him say that Obama wants all your children to go to college because he wants to indoctrinate them. Tell me Mr. Santorum, did you go to college? Are you educated? WTF.
Santorum also wants to eliminate funding for education at both the federal and state levels. Talk about creating second class citizens. This would eliminate public education and if you cannot afford to pay for your child to go to school too bad. This would mean every underprivileged child would not be able to get any education. If he had his way the country would become a serfdom. With the wealthy having everything and everyone else being a slave and ignorant.
So while the rest of the world is moving forward through progress. These tea-baggers want to go backward. If he gets his way, America will fall off the map.

This is an example of why the moron is such a dangerous animal. His "theology" is to keep as many americans ignorant and uneducated as possible. By doing so he will wield power to fool the masses, for education brings about critical thinking, and in his universe, this is forbidden at all times. I reject this "theology" of ignorance and I reject this wanna be Mullah. He wants his own personal theocracy.
