DERSHOWITZ DEFINES THE YUPPIE FASHIONABLE OPINION | 2005-02-12

Now here is the connection between my sister's attitudes and Dershowitz's.

All the people my sister associates with got their opinions of what an educated person should think in college. Their parents got their ideas of what an educated person should think in college.

But all the professors who told them what to think were at Podunk U. To their professors, the ones who told them what to think, a Professor at Harvard like Dershowitz was one step above God.

All the Fashionable Opinion my sister listens to comes from the sheep who were the sheep of Dershowitz's sheep.

I remember some of these Fashionable Opinion Sheep were astounded that "some people in the 29204 area" - the Fashionable Area - by which they meant Lake High and me, were leading in the fight for the Confederate flag!

NOBODY in that nouveau riche area was for the Confederate flag! That was TACKY! Harvard professors said so, their Podunk U. professors said so, and The State newspaper said so because the New York Times said so.

And it is tacky to say those hard-working third worlders should be kept out because the masters of their Podunk U. professors said so.

Dershowitz and the Fashionable Opinion Sheep said that opposing immigration was lowah clahss. To them, for someone to say, "We do not need those hard-working third worlders here," is retarded.

Meanwhile, you have to be a real retard to say, "This is a rich place with no guns. Come and get it."

You have to be a real retard to say, "We need those hard-working third worlders here."

In other words, these people are retards.

And they're going to pay for it, big time.
