Citizen Kane - Speech

Ah, a politician "type." We are seeing a lot of those these days. What Orson Welles created here was a type of a "type." (Think about it!) He softly blurs the line.

@kortexsirvasil “The difference between a smart man and a wise man is that

a smart man (intellectual) knows what to say, a wise man knows whether or not to say it.

calling someone an imbecile is incredibly disrespectful however truthful it may be, its perhaps agood trait to be able to identify the soundness of anothers mind, however no intellectual (which to be honest is a bulls**t term in your usage of it) would stop people and say your an imbecile (with implication: in comparison to me.)

I'm going to say this in my high school student council speech tomorrow.

The Sound and the Fury by Faulkner would be a great movie

[rhersh2011]

Faulkner, Hemingway, Robert Frost, Twain, Whitman, Melville, Hawthorne, best US writers

New deal that's what we need out of this depression

[rhersh2011]

"A nation which has forgotten the quality of courage which in the past has been brought to public life is not as likely to insist upon or regard that quality in its chosen leaders today - and in fact we have forgotten" John F. Kennedy and FDR with the new deal that' what we need right now worst economy since the great depression

@Miketheprofessor Not true. If we are not able to recognize the idiots amongst us and point them out, we are no better than them. The intellectual is able to tell that someone is an imbecile and say it out loud without fearing the consequences,.

@kortexsirvasil - Have to love the way some critics on the left--who probably, and ridiculously, I might add, consider themselves intellectuals--who like to run down the right as possessing less than sound intellect invariably pepper their speech with invective (e.g., kortexsirvasil's use of "illiterate", "moron", "idiotic") to describe those with whom they disagee. They don't possess intellectual capacity to realize that such techniques are the very mark of an unsound intellect!

@kortexsirvasil .. Beck, on the other hand, has always been an illiterate moron who only appealed to the most idiotic part of the US electorate. So he never had to have any integrity because he never held any morals - unlike Kane, Beck is an actual populist.
