There are some points I agree with BUT here's the truth about the Charleston church massacre. It was done by a lone alienated loser, on his own website he decries that even in cracka country he can't find any racist organizations to join, the KKK is pretty much dead as are others so in his own words he decided that if no one else will take any action than it's up to him alone.

Look at the demonstration in Charleston, almost half the people who showed up to march were white. We aren't dumber overall, we're smarter.

White trash racists stand out today because they have become such a small pathetic sub species of cartoon characters.

Remember that intellectuals came up with the wonderful solution to the injustice of the world - they called it Communism.

Straw man argument to me from this author, ' it is beyond dispute that critical thinking has been abandoned as a cultural value' - utter bullshit, he draws this conclusion from the dumbest of the dumb, Internet comment section trolls, fundamentalist Christians who believe dinosaurs were on board Noah's Ark, the Congressman who brought the snowball in to deny global warming, etc. He doesn't mention at what point in the history of America critical thinking was such a treasured cultural value. I'll presume he means the 1960's, the decade that gave us a drug culture,50% divorce rate, horrible child rearing. The intellectuals blame anit-intellectual culture and society for the ills that create these monsters - who created that culture - the movies, the shock jocks, the drugs, latch key kids with mom off at some job because feminism told her being a good mom isn't enough, sexualized children/teens and on and on - it sure wasn't the dumb anti-intellectual conservatives he points his finger at.

There are plenty of dumb intellectuals, they may have educations, but their ideas are dumb and/or unworkable. Dumb goes both ways, intellectuals are as blind to their own failings as the dumbest bigot.

I do agree with him that base racial hatred the perpetrator of the massacre possesses really only comes from a bottom feeder class of people. On the few occasions I've read Stormfront, the racists try very hard to impress each other with their knowledge of history but it's easy to see that the vast majority of them are pretty low IQ social rejects. But that's hardly news, I think almost everybody can agree with that.

His argument is too simplistic, he assumes as most intellectuals do that intellectuals are superior in raw intelligence and highly rational people and that if everybody else thought exactly like them what a grand world it would be, therefore the riff raff who don't think just like him, the anti-intellectuals are what's killing America. America is hardly dying, with all its faults show me a country close to its population that is superior.
