MarkEMark2, it must be very hard to be a college professor these days-- you probably feel very isolated politically. Dr. Phil, who has his own network now, has called-out the academic environment as "ivy-covered intellectual rot". How ironic (and nearly incomprehensible) that a field long known for "intelligence", has fallen so badly into groupthink insanity.
But you have found a home here, among the readers of Don Surber--Welcome! We recognize and appreciate the clarity Don brings to the political arena. His truth-telling (calling a spade a spade) and his wit are SO refreshing after the buckets of propaganda and strident Marxist ideology that have been dumped on America in recent years.
Agree with you on Trump--he's not looking at Zuckerberg and Bezos through rose-colored glasses. He's being pragmatic and will take what they have to offer and leave the door open for their new-found conservatism to grow some roots. One thing about billionaires--I would think they are repelled by incompetence. The Democrats are losing the billionaire class, because their gross incompetence has been destroying everything they touch.
I thought it was HILARIOUS--when Trump responded to criticism at one point by declaring "I'm a very stable genius!" I still regret I didn't snatch up one of those "Very Stable Genius" T-shirts when they were available.
Thank you. I am VERY fortunate to work as a professor in the Business College where there is some, but not nearly as much of the typical “college professor” liberal mindset. After all, they are teaching concepts of how to succeed in business. And, I live in a very (currently) red state, so that helps. I’ve enjoyed reading the comments on Don’s blog as they tend to be more reasoned and thoughtful than the majority of comments on other sites, primarily due to the higher intellectual readers here 😀.
The commenter Shrugged here on Don Surber's column is also a professor who works in the Business College of his University. Like you said, the Business School is not as stridently hard Left, because business, by its nature, is oriented to practical results, not touchy-feely "talk". You would enjoy Shrugged's comments--always interesting and as you say "sane and based".
