Berg’s Eighth Law: This Is The Misogyny You Were Looking For
By Mitch Berg
The party that defended Ted Kennedy’s sluffing his way through legacy admissions to Ivy League undergrad and law school, to say nothing of allowing a woman to slowly die in his car as he staggered around Chappiquiddick looking for sobriety and an alibi with all the conviction of OJ looking for the real killers…
…is tittering over Lauren Bobert’s education, and a “criminal record” matching those of an awful lot of teens and 20-somethings.
Berg’s Eighth Law is universal. There is nothing a Prog needs to destroy more than one of “their” people – women, minorities, the underclass – leaving the plantation.

She doesn’t have a college degree. On the other hand, neither does Bill Gates and half the NBA. Point is, lacking letters behind your name doesn’t predict failure . It’s another Sarah Palin hit job. The progs always find a way to smear opponents regardless.

Can we stack this against our current AG Keith Ellison’s stack of unpaid parking tickets, driving without a license, warrants for failure to appear and domestic assaults?
No, no we cannot.
It doesn’t work that way.

Don’t mistake hate for classism. Classism is the means. Hate is the goal.

In the current year, lack of a college degree is a feature, not a flaw.

Perhaps we might posit that the reason the left loves credentials so much is because so many uncredentialed people do so well. The list, if I remember correctly, includes not only Gates, but also Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak (when Apple was founded–he later got his BS), Rush Limbaugh, Harry Truman, Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, and a bunch of others.

Pushing college degrees to show credibility is the Left’s thought-vaccination program.

I suspect the elitists pushing for so much credentialed education is part of the plan: the temper tantrum known as Occupy Wall Street demonstrated this: Misguided youth and their equally misguided parents took out tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars in student loans apiece so the youth could pursue unmarketable college degrees. Nobody held a gun to their heads. Didn’t the youth, or more importantly their parents, ever question if there was going to be a return on the investment of this money? Or whether some of the youth were better suited to traditionally blue-collar job, where they could quickly assert their financial independence without going into deep debt? Apparently not. The elitists seem to want you to become an “educated idiot”, as my mother calls them: By encouraging the pursuit or a worthless degree, rather than a marketable skill, the youth and their parents secured their future dependence on Big Government. The response to this pandemic is just cementing large numbers of economic dependents. My sister is a manager for a catering company in Florida. She’s interviewed a number of people during the past year, and many of them withdraw interest in the job after learning they will “make” more money while on unemployment and getting the COVID-19-related stimulus funds.
Didn’t it use to be a mark of shame to have to rely on the taxpayers’ largesse?
