Why do conservatives hate intellectuals anyway? Isn't being an intellectual a good thing? Karl Rove even quipped one time that people vote Republican until they get too much education proving that there is such thing as too much of a good thing. I really don't understand this thinking among neoconservatives, many of whom are intellectuals themselves (albeit Straussians).

Can someone explain this? I'm not tying to start something, but I can't get my head around it. It seems so silly.
