So David Brooks has a column in the New York Times lamenting the influence of the tea party movement.  Only, he makes a glaring error regarding the class of people that offends the tea party movement so much.  Here is an excerpt with corrections added.

The public is not only shifting from left to right. Every single idea associated with the educated indoctrinated class has grown more unpopular over the past year.

The educated indoctrinated class believes in global warming, so public skepticism about global warming is on the rise. The educated indoctrinated class supports abortion rights, so public opinion is shifting against them. The educated indoctrinated class supports gun control, so opposition to gun control is mounting.

The story is the same in foreign affairs. The educated indoctrinated class is internationalist, so isolationist sentiment is now at an all-time high, according to a Pew Research Center survey. The educated indoctrinated class believes in multilateral action, so the number of Americans who believe we should “go our own way” has risen sharply.

A year ago, the Obama supporters were the passionate ones. Now the tea party brigades have all the intensity.

The tea party movement is a large, fractious confederation of Americans who are defined by what they are against. They are against the concentrated power of the educated indoctrinated class. They believe big government, big business, big media and the affluent professionals are merging to form self-serving oligarchy — with bloated government, unsustainable deficits, high taxes and intrusive regulation.

It’s not the education that the tea party movement has a problem with; it’s the indoctrination by leftist higher education.  Really, would an educated person want to count a terrorist like William Ayers among their ranks?  Certainly not.  Only an indoctrinated person would behave that way.

Liberals have been indoctrinated by the propaganda of the church of global warming and its pontiff, the Goracle.  They have been brainwashed into the idea of abortion on demand being anything more than an easy excuse for objectifying women and cheapening sex into a reptilian activity.  Snakes have been known to kill their young as well.

They are so averse to the idea of doing anything themselves that they would delegate their own survival to an agency of law enforcement rather than protect themselves with the best training and tools available. Does this seems like the logical, educated position?

The tea party movement is not isolationist. Rather we refuse to submit to some world government that we didn’t elect.  This country was founded by those seeking to “go their own way.”  I always thought education was intended to empower a person to reach their individual goals, not to become an Obamaton automaton assimilated into some class of elitist shills cleaved of distinct thought.

David Brooks condescension reeks through his words.  He seems to believe that those who do not agree with him are unintelligent.  It’s the whole, “I’m right and if you can’t see that, then you are stupid,” argument.  And really, it is no way to have a conversation.  Honestly, I don’t have any issue whatsoever with educated people.  I just don’t like condescending elitist assholes.
