“Bush Hatred and Obama Euphoria Are Two Sides of the Same Coin”

“Bush Hatred and Obama Euphoria Are Two Sides of the Same Coin“:

From the avalanche of vehement and ignorant attacks on Bush v. Gore and the oft-made and oft-refuted allegation that the Bush administration lied about WMD in Iraq, to the remarkable lack of interest in Mr. Obama’s career in Illinois politics and the determined indifference to his wrongness about the surge, wide swaths of the media and the academy have concentrated on stoking passions rather than appealing to reason.

Some will speculate that the outbreak of hatred and euphoria in our politics is the result of the transformation of left-liberalism into a religion, its promulgation as dogma by our universities, and students’ absorption of their professors’ lesson of immoderation. This is unfair to religion.

    The Op Ed section of the Wall Street Journal really does a great disservice to the rest of an otherwise excellent newspaper. I particularly enjoyed this person’s attacks on our educational system here in the States. It makes it hard for someone like me not to call conservatives stupid. The more they attack education, the more they show they don’t want to be well educated. Seriously, why are conservatives so afraid of a well educated professor?
