Pseudo-intellectuals are like those huge flocks of starlings we see in the Spring and Fall. The huge clouds of birds fly in formations, suddenly wheeling, straightening out, turning, flying upwards, flying downwards, turning right, turning left, all to the delight of those of us who wonder as we watch, “How do they send such complicated flight-directions to so many birds simultaneously?”
When we see the human’s leftist hordes, the same free-wheeling flight patterns are seen. We saw the vast gaggles of leftists as they zoomed toward the ozone hole, whirled away to alar in the apples, swooped low over polluted water, soared above the dioxin deposits, and raced through the excessive carbon particles in the air. Truly, we clearly saw that each and every one of them was as individually mindless as a single cursed starling within the larger flock of condemned souls.
As a general rule, it is fun to watch sincere-looking liberals tell lies and believe that they are truth because they have concluded that they are. But, today, a child in California was one of nine who recently died of whooping cough. That disease was supposedly eradicated, and, for that child, and the other eight, would have been, but his parents were flying among the large flock of buzzards who’d decided to prove they were “intellectuals” by choosing to believe that “Vaccinations are dangerous! My child will never have one!”
How much more proof do we need that “The sins of the fathers are visited upon the children.” The parents of the children whose deaths they certainly seem to have caused are still alive. Are they still complaining? Still enlightened? Still flying high, freewheeling with flocks of nincompoops in one direction after another? Are they looking for someone to sue? Are they finding that they are the only ones at fault? Have they suffered a few moments of actual confusion? Will they attempt to identify and sue those responsible for the mindless hysteria that swept them away?
Don’t hold your breath.
