It would not have stomach for a self-professed intellectual of any variety even if it knew what one was.
Denigrating intellectualism - which is of course a term covering all higher human thinking - is only done by those who fear it or regard it within insecurity. As I don't think you are afraid of higher thought or insecure about it, dda, I can only assume you are parroting this crap from some loudmouth knobjockey who is.

Good. You have demeaned me. You have demeaned an entire country. I don't know whether you profess to be in any way intellectual but you certainly are following in the pattern of which I complain.
