Walz tests anti-elitist message by knocking Vance’s Ivy League degree

CHICAGO, Illinois — Tim Walz is betting his vice presidential rival’s sterling academic credentials won’t impress voters.

The Minnesota governor, at a recent rally with his new boss, Vice President Kamala Harris, the 2024 Democratic nominee-designate, mocked the educational achievements of Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH). Vance, a 2013 Yale Law School graduate, was tapped for the undercard role on the Republican ticket by former President Donald Trump, the 2024 GOP nominee.

Vance wrote about his rise from Appalachia through Yale Law School and beyond in the bestselling book Hillbilly Elegy. But Walz is hoping Vance’s experiences will be seen by voters less as a sign of achieving the American dream through hard work than cronyism among a wealthy elite.

“Like all regular people I grew up with in the heartland, J.D. studied at Yale,” Walz said sarcastically at the rally. Vance “had his career funded by Silicon Valley billionaires. And then wrote a bestseller trashing that community. Come on, that’s not what middle America is,” Walz continued.

The governor, in a recent interview on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, expanded on that point, saying, “None of my hillbilly cousins went to Yale, and none of them went on to be venture capitalists, or whatever.”

Did Walz also knock Baraq Obama's  Ivy League degree?
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

But I thought Democrats loved intellectuals and looked down upon people who didn’t have college degrees?
I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

CLAIM: Kamala Harris had a middle class upbringing.
TRUTH: Kamala Harris spent much of her childhood in Canada.
Kamala HQ is insinuating that Kamala Harris can relate to middle class Americans because of her upbringing.

When Kamala lived in Montreal she lived in Westmount which at the time was the wealthiest community in ALL of Canada. Doesn’t seem very middle class.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

The entire Democrat/Socialist/Communist shtick is predicated on ENVY.

He/she has some thing, some opportunity, I think I would have wanted, therefore they are evil.
BUT if they'd had the chance, would they think they were evil if they had had it themselves?
(of course not, and the whole time they are railing against those who have or have had well,  whatever, they are busy wanting it themselves--bad enough to forcefully take it away from others or even destroy it if they think it is out of their reach)

It's the 'hook' the Communists use to get neotenic humans to join up, and it is highly effective with the emotionally immature and especially the intellectually lazy.

When two of my granddaughters were little, they were viciously competitive.

I asked one if the other had a club foot would she want one, and she promptly replied YES!
Then I explained what a club foot was. Their competition cooled, (though I must note each has had a set of twins, and each has four kids...) :laugh:
How God must weep at humans' folly! Stand fast! God knows what he is doing!
Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

This guy is beyond weird. All the camo hats and high school football stories can’t hide the fact that he’s an effeminate socialist:
