Here's a factual observation, there are those on both sides that are a bit remiss on their spelling and punctuation, it is a sanctimonious corona head that chooses that as a basis of attack rather than the topic at hand.

And read my post. The post an individual puts forth needs to be clear. Some are extremely hard to decipher.

Because Kevyn likes to defend morons who don't have a clue but are in the same camp politically speaking. If you went to a doctor about a very serious problem and he talked like he was very uneducated, you thought maybe he received his medical certificate out of a cracker jacks box: 1) you would question his professional and abilty, 2) you would probably walk out of the office.

I will probably get some flack on this; however, I couldn't stay silent. I had to respond to this attack.

The person I am quoting before replying might want to check the beams in their own eyes before pointing out the splinters others have in theirs. They need a proofreader, a good one!

Would I take the opinion of someone with a 3rd-grade education and life experiences over someone who just received their doctorate? Absolutely. I have read "learned" individual opinions and considered their opinions lacking in commonsense and fiscal responsibility. Quite a few are currently serving in our Congress.

"You can stick up for the dummies on OPP," name-calling--really?

"...do I have to respect their opinion because of their low level of education? Well, you figure it out BTW, most of them just repeat talking points. [T]they don't have any original thoughts that all of a sudden [,] they came up with.[Ending with a preposition?] Lonely is a perfect examine." [Shouldn't that be example?]

"He hasn't had an original thought since he's been on OPP.[/quote] Assuming facts, not in evidence, are you not?

There are some very learned persons with doctorates with whom I'm afraid I have to disagree. When they dismiss my viewpoint because of my perceived intelligence or lack of comparable education, I believe that they demonstrate a marked intolerance of others' viewpoints and puff their own importance. What is the phrase? Oh, yes, "they are a legend in their own mind."

My father only had a third-grade education. As the oldest son capable of working the family farm, he quit school to help his dad on the tenant farm so his family and siblings could eat.

He taught his children faith, a work ethic, humanity, humility, family before possessions, compassion, tolerance, and honesty. We were at church every service. We knew right from wrong. We were thankful for our blessings and learned to share and help others by example. My dad never preached. He walked the walk.

Disabled in his 20s, the doctors said he'd not live past 35--praise God, he made it to 70. He never complained about his lot in life. He never put anyone down. He might not be considered a success by persons with a doctorate; however, he raised four law-abiding Christian children and never felt entitled to something he didn't earn by his own hard work.

He taught his children fiscal responsibility--never put your home up for collateral, pay off all bills each month, don't go into debt for nonessentials, don't co-sign loans, save for the unexpected.

I don't have a college degree. I have taken some secondary education classes over the years at technical schools--paying as I went. Now for some puffing of my own. Forty years after I graduated high school, I passed a college entrance exam and took a few classes. This tells me one of two things, I retain knowledge well, or teachers are not teaching our children well in school. I'm betting on the last option.

And as such, your corrections on grammar, should and would be teaching moments. I, as a Republican and a Conservative, would otherwise argue my political opinions. I usually read and reread my opinions throughly, hope to catch spell check, and make sense of my opinions grammatically. I'm sure I fail on occasion, especially with long rambling sentences, but I have no problem accepting grammatical corrections. I would hopefully learn from them.

Have a nice day

Your entire analogy is wrong, but you're entitled to an opinion.
