Ever wonder why so many people with letters after their names consistently regurgitate Far Left talking points that Karl Marx would be proud of? NRO's Jay Nordinger offers a glimpse into the mindset at Princeton University:
The Daily Princetonian reports that 157 members of Princeton University’s faculty or staff have donated to the two presidential candidates. One hundred fifty-five donated to Obama; two donated to Romney. The two who donated to Romney were a visiting lecturer in engineering and a janitor.A psychology professor told the paper that “professors in general are engaged in creating knowledge, so you have to be open to uncertainty and open to things being complicated.” She also said, in the paper’s words, that “there is even research that the speeches of liberal politicians are more cognitively complex.”
P.P.S. The psychology professor says that the speeches of liberal politicians are more cognitively complex. How about their ads? “Mitt Romney: Not one of us.” It seems to me there is nothing cognitively complex about Barack Obama in this election. His appeal has been, “Don’t vote for the rich guy who’ll give your wife cancer, ship your job overseas, favor his billionaire friends, rape the environment, cancel the federal government, and put y’all back in chains.” (There’s a touch of Biden in there too, true — the wonderfully cognitively complex Biden.)
And that's an American university. Ours are further left.
This just in from CBC: Romney has conceded. Four more years....
The defenses needed to maintain liberal delusions are surprisingly complex.
Best revenge: Send your kids to welding school.
The only thing cognitive about it is the dissonance.
Thankfully the University professor will eventually die off...
“there is even research that the speeches of liberal politicians are more cognitively complex.”
In other words, "the words coming out the mouths of liberal politicians coincide with the political views of the researchers who regard themselves so highly."
That's not research, that is autofellatio.
Princeton sounds like quite a place. I know of Fausta and John Batchelor that attended Princeton, we can imagine the other thousands are all in the tank for B. Hussien.

Now don't knock it, Herr Wilson. It seems to work quite well for Uga...

You know, they make Psychiatrists get psycho-analyzed before they can practice. Psychologists, not so much.
"Cognitively complex"?
Well, yeah - it takes a whole lot of complex cognition to ignore both reality and common sense while spouting off the leftist's talking points.
Too bad "cognitive complexity" and "intelligence" are apparently not the same thing.
Cognitively complex means unnecessarily verbose, indirect, confused and intentionally unclear.
In short ... full of SH!T.
One has to sound cognitively complex to sell feudalism disguised under all the masking platitudes. Pimping the mindless into slavery, a goal the professoriate shares with their politicians. If we weren't locked into guild socialism, most should have been replaced with library cards, never mind the Internet.
The janitor was the most cognitive of the whole bunch. That speaks volumes.
The lefties have projected the myth that they are more intelligent and educated for so long they have long believed it.
Dumber than drug dealers.....Drug pushers are usually smart enough to not get high on their supply.
And there's this.
It's nice that they enjoy sitting around & complimenting one another on how much brighter they believe themselves to be.

"More cognitively complex" - or, in plain English, "harder to make any sense out of."
"Cognitively complex" or in other words mostly neologisms: words that only have meaning to the user.
As Sigmund Freud once famously remarked,
"Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar."
Funny watching people pimp for their own early demise. Because they will be the first ones in a landfill if their fantasies come true.
Academics. Another living off the government teat group. Either at state schools coupled with gov backed, soon to be defaulted upon, student loans.
And Iggy would be the most cognitively dissonant of them all..
