Welcome Senator Kerry Roberts to the, "Too Dumb To Know it" club.
Some folks are mesmerized by their own voice, and others are simply
charmed. The difference is that some of them finished high school,
and others didn't.
I noticed that the Good Senator is also opposed to abortion. Could
this mean that Senator Kerry Roberts is prepared to take
responsibility for the millions of starving, abused, imprisoned and
unwanted children already here due to unwanted pregnancy.
But of course the biggest hoot is the belief by Senator Kerry Roberts,
that higher education breeds Liberalism. Sorry my dear Senator,
higher education breeds Intelligence. Or, perhaps it's simply a sign
that some young students are bright enough to achieve, and benefit
from, Knowledge...a word you might need to look up in your
dictionary...if you can find one.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — A Republican Tennessee lawmaker says he supports
getting rid of higher education because he argues it would cut off the
“liberal breeding ground.”
Sen. Kerry Roberts of Springfield called for eliminating higher
education while speaking about attending a recent abortion legislative
hearing on his conservative radio talk show on Sept. 2.
Roberts specifically called out one activist who testified in favor of
protecting abortion rights. He asserted without evidence that the
woman’s beliefs were a “product of higher education” and claimed that
getting rid of higher education would “save America.”
The senator did not immediately respond to a request for further
elaboration.
Roberts also questioned funding higher education with tax dollars. He
voted in favor of the state’s $38.5 billion budget earlier this year,
which included money for colleges and universities.

“Who is more humble? The scientist who looks at the universe with an open
mind and accepts whatever the universe has to teach us, or somebody who says
everything in this book must be considered the literal truth and never mind
the fallibility of all the human beings involved?”
