"Bleep the EU": Victoria Nuland, another Obamacrat Ivy Leaguer, makes a fool of herself

Americans curse more and more--especially on reality-show TV.  Profanity has become so commonplace on television that the producers of Duck Dynasty actually add gratuitous bleeps for the Robertson family's dialog, because the Robertsons--evangelical Christians from central Louisiana--don't curse.

"Bleep the EU"
So we shouldn't be too shocked to learn that Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland said "F--- the EU" in a leaked conversation with the United States Ambassador to the Ukraine, Geoffrey Pyatt.  What's most embarrassing, of course, is that the United States government and the New York Times have been lecturing Russia about meddling in the Ukraine, but the leaked phone call shows that it is the U.S. that turns out to be the biggest meddler.

And where did Ms. Nuland attend college? Brown University.  Yes, Ms. Nuland is another one of Barack Obama's people who was educated at an Ivy League college.  Apparently, these schools do not teach civility and diplomacy; they just  teach people to be scornful and arrogant.

Thus we have Secretary of State John Kerry, a Yale man, who insults the Syrians at the peace talks on the Syrian uprising by basically telling the Assad regime up front that it has to go.  He behaves so arrogantly to the Israelis that the Israeli Defense Minister  accused him of having a messiah complex.  And Barack Obama himself is so contemptuous of the American people that he lies to them repeatedly without bothering to even make a decent apology.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again.  All three branches of our government--but the Executive Branch and the Judicial Branch in particular--are stuffed with people who achieved degrees from elite universities who do not know how to behave decently.  They do not have the simple dignity, grace and character that most Louisiana crawfish harvesters innately possess.
