So lets get down to it.
"Prolonged adolescence? Affluence? The disappearance of physical chores and muscular labor? The collapse of traditional liberal education and the triumph of the therapeutic mindset? Disdain for or ignorance of life outside the Boston–New York–Washington corridor? Political correctness as a sort of careerist indemnity that allows one to live a sheltered and apartheid existence? The shift in collective values and status from production, agriculture, and manufacturing to government, law, finance, and media? The reinvention of the university as a social-awareness retreat rather than a place to learn?"
Why intellectuals trying to run our country and tell the blue collar workers what to do,
Actual blue collar works and white collar like engineers and such.
They wake up every day and say an engineer has to build a bridge. If he does not build it right, what consequences could have tremendous impact and people could die.
A liberal professor can pettle and teach their ideologies in school to pass on to the next one and the next, without ever suffering the consequences of what the engineer could have to face.
So the people with actual responsibility are taking orders who practice a fictional theory and personal ideology.
Nice dodge.

I find it hilarious that someone uses the word "intellectual" as a negative.This glorification of being stupid and ignorant is a problem, sure it has its place in comedy/satire, but it should stay there.
I think it depends on the context. For example it doesn't mean you are necessarily saying you don't like someone because they are smart, but rather you dislike them because they are aware they are smart and thus seem to always think they are right and everyone else is wrong.
So that college professor that was calling on some muscle to remove a person recording who had the right to be there is an example of a negative kind of intellectual.
