Because his peers used the title out of respect for his actual accomplishments versus his own insisting he be recognized as having a doctorate...
Dude didn't have the self awareness to allow his accomplishments and his resume' to do the talking. Obviously.
Probably because they wanted to kiss Kissinger’s ass. Either that or because they figured he was smart enough to be a brain surgeon. Now that he’s dead (2023, age 100) nowhere does his Wiki page say Dr Kiss. or even Henry Kiss., PhD. Why? Because no one gives a sh*t now that he’s no longer in this world but for the organic fertilizer.
Dr Jill desperately wants to be seen as an elite. In reality she is only effete.
I imagine it would to an elite conservative.
I wasn't saying to feel sorry for her. The question was asked why she wasn't actively campaigning and I believe that is the answer. This isn't her thing. She doesn't have interest in being the center of politically motivated attention so she isn't going to go out of her way to get center stage.
I think I am against “community college retention.“ Isn’t the whole idea of a community college to get somebody a jumpstart into a better education? Move on, up and out?
Community college retention means that they stick it out at the community college long enough to get an associates degree, or enough credit hours to transfer. So if you are interested in them "moving on, up, and out" to a better school, then retention in that 1-2 years of community college is an absolute MUST.
Since retiring 13 years ago, I bristle when someone still refers to me as “Dr”. It sounds extravagant…so pretentious. I tell them I vaguely recall being a “tooth jockey” in one of my past lives, but please, it’s just “abraxis” now. Not everyone’s like that. I know a retired oral surgeon…excuse me, an oral and maxillofacial surgeon, who insists his grandkids call him “Doc”.
I think Jill DOES like being the center of attention politically. She just prefers to get it the easier way, that is vicariously through her husband. She IS on center stage, helping the old coot out, without having to think too hard like a real doctor always under threat of a frivolous lawsuit. She’s got too good of a gig going to divorce him now just for a stiffer prick. The fact it smells like three-days old, sun-ripened fish becomes irrelevant when sleeping in separate bedrooms.
No worries...😉, most of us consider you, Colorado, IU Crazy, abraxis and McMurtry, along with the "Dream Team", The ultra-elite of Elite Conservatives... So much so, that you've all (along with myself 😉) have been awarded Honorary Doctorates from "The School of Hardcore Hoosier Fandom & Political Analysis or "The Hardcore" for short (soon to be as well known as Kelly)...
We shouldn't be. Many of us have recommended young college students start there and get an associate's degree before transferring to a four-year college for a Bachelors. I got my daughter to go this route and she finally got her BA from Cal State S.M. It took seven years and it still cost me a lot of money, but she got it done. She had to take every math class twice, unfortunately, and we live in Ohio, so it was more expensive until she got residency. She's an only so, what the hell. Also, she did make the Dean's List the last two years. She just finished her MS and she's adulting with a decent job at 32. I guess my grand plan worked out - finally.
We have several Doctors of Education where I work and we call them Doctor out of courtesy. I don't know that I necessarily believe that poorly written opinion piece, but any of these Doctorates insisting on being called Doctor is not a great look. I wouldn't get my panties in a bunch over that - it's much more concerning if she really knows Joe isn't going to be able to execute his job in a second term and she's not telling him to drop out.
It's just in good fun.
I assumed that it was about keeping Community Colleges in business, but it could be retention of the student so they get their associate's degree. Sometimes you can find copies of dissertations online. My thesis is out there, I just looked. Cool thing about mine is that I did it for the Army and they actually used what my thesis was about in their JANUS combat simulator. I know because I saw it in action when I went to the Army Command and General Staff College and the techs had a copy of the thesis too. Most of these get filed and never looked at again. I was happy to help the Army out.
I don’t think conservatives see people as part of a particular class. Classes are a Marxist/liberal/progressive thing.
I hope that's not true, but if it is, it's part of your problem. If you want proof, go find a poor conservative area of the country and start talking about your law degree, your judge friends, your tandem bike, and your stoker. See how it works out for you.
She knows. It's all about the power and the perks for her.We have several Doctors of Education where I work and we call them Doctor out of courtesy. I don't know that I necessarily believe that poorly written opinion piece, but any of these Doctorates insisting on being called Doctor is not a great look.

By the way, my golf league partner and good friend has a Doctorate and I call him by his first name, as do everyone else in the league. That's OK too. People call me by my name, Sir (I never demand it, they just feel more comfortable doing it since they work for me), and a few in the league call me Admiral. I was never an Admiral.
Why would I talk about those things? None of that has anything to do with conservatism.
I have one dentist buddy and a handful of md buddies. I call them all doc. I’d never refer to a phd d.ed as doctor
Have you ever seen any movies dealing with the battle of classes and snobbery? Trading Places, Caddyshack, even Animal House. Would you classify the people in those films as marxists, liberals, or progressives?
The membership of Bushwood, Mortimer and Randolph, and Fawn Lebowitz were all Democrats. Duh.
Class differences is a necessary, in fact a vital, part of leftist ideology and politics. This takes many forms but the general leftist theme is to divide all of us into victims and perpetrators
Well in today's world.....

Or because there’s precedent & it’s the most likely scenario?
As well as race, gender, etc. Categorizing or classifying people and identity politics is employed on a much larger scale by the left.
If we are categorizing by party, each has its share of elitists, egalitarians, extremists, and morons.Well in today's world.....
Democrats being party of the rich could cost them 2024 election
A growing body of research shows wealthier Americans flocking to the Democratic Party. The working class, meanwhile, has been forgotten.
Now they aren't Socialists, at least not when it comes to their own wealth. The perception I have of the typical Democrat is that they always tend to believe that the "rich" are going to be the ones that need to spread the wealth and they typically don't view themselves as "rich". Everyone should pay their fair share and they just so happen to already be paying that amount.
Anywho, in the 2024 version of that movie, the wealthy people would likely be Democrat voters.
Cc depends on profession here. Biz guys 100 percent republicans. Lots of Dem lawyers tho
