Watch as Victor Davis Hanson destroys Bloomberg for his ignorant remarks denigrating the skills and intelligence of farmers

By Thomas Lifson
Victor Davis Hanson is the perfect person to refute the arrogance of former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who denigrated the “grey matter” needed by farmers in now-infamous remarks to a group of elitists at Aspen. Hanson is not only a brilliant historian of ancient Greece and a political commentator with few if any peers, he is also a fifth-generation farmer.

He understands the skills and brainpower needed to be an academic or other elite member of the analytical class, and he understands the skill sets and brainpower needed to be a successful farmer today. And in his mind, there is no contest.

This is absolutely must-see TV. I almost stood up and cheered when I saw it.




When done with Hanson's remarks, stay tuned for Mark Steyn, who follows immediately, also slamming Boomberg's arrogance.

Some people who think of themselves as really smart, are really smart yet lack anything resembling not just intelligence but any knowledge whatsoever about major areas of the economy. If they don't know their own deficiencies they will not know to go about filling them.

It's like asking Joe Biden how many 'clips' a rifle or handgun should legally be able to hold. His answer will be worthless because it's not based on any real awareness of the issue.

.... If they don't know their own deficiencies they will not know to go about filling them.

A really smart person would more than likely be well aware, as situations present, of their shortcomings.

And who in their right mind would ask Biden ... anything?
