The Tea-Klux-Klan is here defending the modern wage slave system of the 1%. I went back to college in my late 30s -- nothing bad about being a student at 28 or any age. In fact, in a fast evolving science and technological world, everybody needs a lifelong continuing education.
The fashion industry which employs sweatshops of illegal immigrants to make zillion-dollar gowns for the Hollywood Elites getting out of limos onto the Red Carpet events is a strange industry for the Tea-Klux-Klan to champion. It has everything that they hate: Hollywood elites living bazillionaire lifestyles, immigrants taking American factory jobs, outsourcing textile jobs (to Latin America, Africa and Asia), effete liberal media devoted to covering an industry filled with gays (clothes, hair, make-up).
The only explanation for this weird acting-against-one's-own-interests as a class, is the Tea Attack Dogs are completely trained to turn on anybody who whines or complains about the Boss-class. Whining is a signal that somebody is isn't in love with being exploited to death, obviously the enemy of the Boss-Class, who needs a thumping. The well-trained attack dogs, given a choice between two things (1) on the one hand bosses who exploit and pay ever lower wages, and (2) some poor slob who got cheated out of even a paper "recommendation" after 6 months of hard labors, instantly know who the bad guy is -- it's the whiner complainer.
Any good conservative would be happy to be in the company of the greats and glean any knowledge and networking prospects from them and if nothing came of it, so be it and they would still work hard to be known. A good liberal would coast along and expect to be made a millionaire for their time just because they hobknobbed. Conservative=happy to have been there. Liberal=mad because they were not compensated greatly for their knowledge or lack therefore of. Opt out of badges if you are a conservative and encourage others to do the same. Thank you.

Of course, "good conservatives" are as well trained as dogs. "Charles G. Koch Summer Fellows" are paid $1500 for a ten week stint ($150/week) plus free bunk in the dormatory bunkhouse. That's minimum wage or less. Their "work" consists of spamming Huffington Post and other websites with spam comments about how wonderful it is to be a lapdog getting an illegally low wage for the near-richest guy in the world.
OF COURSE the "good conservati ve" applauds cheating an employee of SIX MONTHS WAGES, which consists of nothing more than a LETTER OF RECOMMENDATION.
If the employee is no good, why did they keep her working for six months, instead of firing her and hollaring "NEXT"? They kept her because she did the job that they asked her to do. Now they have to pay her PLUS get the humiliatio n of having a low-wage nobody whip their public image down a few notches during FASHION WEEK when everybody is looking at articles on fashion like this!!!!
What, Liberals in the publishing business taking advantage of indentured servents? No, it can't be! Liberals are for fair wages and safe working conditions.

Since when has it been liberal to operate a multinational media empire, which serves a 1%-er clientele, and promotes outsourcing textile jobs, illegal immigrant sweatshops, subsidizes the Red State cotton gentlemen farmers for $4,000,000,000 a year, fosters the Koch Industries Lycra fabric brand, and clothes the red carpet trophy wives of the media movies-TV-cable-music billionaires. The ongoing FASHION WEEK today is parading multi-thousand-dollar garments in the David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center in NYC.
Since when is any bit of this liberal?
