House of Paine

united front of the elites?

here's a gem
 FROM "A highly prized"
  e- ZENE
  CALLED
    SLAT-TURN 
         OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT 

please read 
this snatch
 from a review piece
i found there 
  
   ===================================




ITS WRITTEN 
  by some pleasantly  quaking /quacking 
     mid level 
       hackademic  ger-bill

his hidden  credo:

elites of both wings
have  an urgent need
to restore 
the merit based
        pecking  
               order 

  refurbish the high--Q norms

    

put the fucking 
Know Nothings 
back in the pig sty 
where they belong  ....

 ==========================

 seems some half wit junior college teacher
wrote a thumb nail tour of america's history
from a   brass horn 
      whiteface 
  plug headed
willfully negligent 
   but 
   bar room  sly  perspective 

 i guess
the books success
got our prof here
 to flutterin like a humming bird 
        and 
thus this review 
                      .......

-------------------  


" Though no longer 
on the Times best-seller list
 'The Politically Incorrect Guide '
is still weighing in 
at an impressive No. 217 
 in the Amazon.com rankings...."

-----blah blah blah ----------

 " the author's ' critics 
              "on the right" 
belong to what might be called 
the conservative elite
whereas Hannity, Buchanan, 
and the radio talk-show hosts are,
 like their most fervid followers,
 essentially populist"

------ notice no dinker on the pop label
        like mindless demagogic etc etc 
  looks like
         just bein pop is bad enough -------------- 

" Whatever jabs these elite conservatives
 may take at the liberal media
             or at academia

----- gotta love his tossin in that academia shit -------


 "like their elite liberal adversaries 
they  harbor
 an underlying respect
 for the values 
of higher education
 science
 reason
 and expertise"

---- doesn't that
pea pickin list
 have a nice 
 shabby genteel  chin uppity 
bathos to it ..... ----------------

 "Conservative populists
 on the other hand
 more often exhibit scorn 
for intellectual authority altogether"

------ not just
 the fag parts mind you 
nope 
 the whole of  thinkerdom
is outsville
for these Babbitoids    -------------

" For a while now
 conservative elites 
have made common cause
 sometimes cynically
 with populist anti-intellectuals"

------- YES YES GO ON 
BUT NO ....
INSTEAD WE GET WISTFULNESS ----------


" Once upon a time" 

---AAAH --

" the original neoconservatives
the academics and intellectuals
 around the journal 
the Public Interest
rested their critiques 
of liberalism
 on penetrating 
social science scholarship 
and attacked 
the left
 for preferring
 bleeding-heart sentiment
 to polemical rigor

------ NOW THERE WAS A TIME ...

WHY  EVEN THE RIGHT HAD...
HAD..... HAD ....
RESPECT FOR DIGNITY 

SURE IT WAS IN  
A CRABBY PIN PRICKY
SORT OF WAY 

BUT ALAS 
 WERE THEY NOT
A VARIETY OF THE BEAUTIFUL TOO
BACK THEN  ...---------


" But now 
the Public Interest 
is defunct"

-----BLAM -----


" and in the Bush years
 conservatism has embraced 
not only the familiar ridicule 
of the eggheads "

----- I BET 
THIS FELLAH WAS TEASED
 IN THE GRADE SCHOOL PLAY YARD -----------
 
" but a rejection 
of the very legitimacy 
of independent
 nonpartisan expert authority"

------- I.E.
 SIR  EGG HEAD 
   OF THE ROUND TABLE  --------------

" The wisdom of legal professionals
 such as those 
in the American Bar Association
 is now denied
 and
 since George Bush took office
 no longer used by the White House
 in evaluating candidates 
for federal judgeships"

----- SHIT
NO MIND TO THE ABA
THATS  WORTHY OF OLD PITCH FORK BEN ----------

" Mainstream journalism
 such as that 
in the major newspapers 
and network news shows
 is deemed liberal
slanted
 and unreliable"

-------- OKAY UMH SO ...-----------


" The faith-based belief 
in creationism......
  is accorded equal 
 (or greater) weight
 as the scientific theory 
     of evolution "

---- FOR THIS ALONE
 WE SHALL REEP THE WHURL  WIND -------------

"It was only a matter of time
 before this kind of thinking 
spread to history......
 Politics has always colored 
the ways that people interpret
         the past
 but 'The Politically Incorrect Guide '
politicizes history 
      in a new way......
 reducing all scholarly inquiry 
to a mere stance 
       in the culture wars"


-------NEW WAY?
JUST AS A START UP
TRY READING SOME ACADEMIC
JIM CROW SCHOLARSHIP CIRCA 1920
OR INDIAN WAYS  CIRCA 1870  ------

BUT I DIVERGE....------------



SAMPLE OF THE BOOK'S TAKE  :

 'Everything 
(well, almost everything) 
you know about American history 
is wrong 
because most textbooks 
and popular history books 
are written 
by left-wing academic historians 
who treat their biases as fact' 
------- NOW READ WHAT FOLOWS THAT QUOTATION ------------

" Conservatives who believe 
in open intellectual pursuit 
understandably blanch 
at the popularity 
of a book like this"

--------- THE SNIFF 
              OF SUPERIORITY
             OF AN IRISH  MAIDEN AUNT 
                   OVER 
  CLIPS OF HUGH HEFNER'S ESCAPADES 
                    AT 103
COULD HARDLY BE 
GRANDER  
MORE ENDEARING
OR ULTIMATELY 
LESS CONVINCING -------------- 


--BUT HERE BE 
         THE NUB COMIN...--------


" The problem, however,
 isn't a lone piece 
of agitprop...."  ------ AGIT - PROP ---------
 
" but a cynical alliance 
 conservative intellectuals 
forged 
with those who hold
 their ideals 
of scholarship in contempt"

--------- HE COULD HAVE  
LEFT IT 
       TO HIS RIGHTEST BRETHERN
TO DRAW 
THE PROPER CONCLUSIONS...

  BUT NO 
INSTEAD
 HE ENDS
 BY SOUNDING
IF NOT A BIG 
VULGAR
FOUR SQUARE
WARNING BLAST...
A"YOU'LL REGRET THIS MY PRETTIES"
       
  AT LEAST 
         A NICE LITTLE DING ----------

 "It's not surprising 
that the anti-intellectual 
      currents 
the ELITE RIGHT 
HAS  aligned themselves with 
           are proving 
         too powerful 
               for them to control "

------ UNFORTUNATELY 
AS NICE A TURN AS IT APPEARS
WHERES THE BEEF?

AS MUCH AS I'D LOVE TO SEE
THESE HIDEOUS MUTATES 
RESTLESS
AND ON THE VERGE OF A RAMPAGE


GOD ONLY IF...

 THEY TURNED  
DRUNK TO HIDEOUS BLOATATION 
SWELLING LIKE BABOONS 
WITH A CONFIDENT RAGE
AND WITH A 
"WE DON'T NEED THESE PRIGS"
TURNING ON  THEIR  OWN 
           VINCENT PRICE MENTORS
          AND RIPPING
     THEM TO BLOODY SHREDS 


BUT HEY 
I'VE NOT SEEN 
     THIS YET

            HAVE U?



IN FACT
ITS MY SOLEMN BELIEF

NO "PAT  AND PAT AND PAT 
                      GO BURZERKER 
                          THING
         WILL EVER                   
  REACH TOO FAR UP 
         THE  POWER  POLE 

NOT IN THIS COUNTRY
NOT IN THE HUB 
         OF THE GLOBE'S PEERLESS EMPIRE 

 AROUND HERE
  CUFFLESS KOURT KLOWNS
          GET 
A QUICK WALL STREET  TA-ZZERING 
IF THEY SO MUCH AS CLIMB 
      ONE WRUNG 
        TO CLOSE TO THE GOLDEN SUMMIT ...
 
                 WHAT SAY  U ?--------
