Partisanism

One of two things that George Washington warned us about before retiring and everyone completely ignored him instantly. Few people realize that George Washington warned America not to form political parties, only nobody listened and here we are, lost in perpetual gridlock.

He also warned us about forming permanent alliances with foreign countries(e.g. NATO and UN).
Worker #1:"Hey, you registered as a Democrat or Republican?"

Worker #2:"Neither. I'm registered as an independent. Partisanism has to be the worst idea since the electoral college."

partisansexship 

The ability of Democrats and Republicans to see the other party's sexual trysts as morally reprehensible while excusing their own party's sex scandals.
Every Republican points to Former Democrat President Bill Clinton's sex scandal with Monica Lewinsky and bemoans the fact he should have been impeached and removed from office, while noting or overlooking that Republicans Newt Gingrich, David Vitter, Mark Sanford, John Ensign and Larry Craig among others were or are entitled to finish their terms in office while their sex scandals are excused. This partisansexship remains an on-going dichotomy not easily explained by rational thinking human beings.

Partisanism

Like racism except that the person assumes something about someone due to their political beliefs instead of race. Someone who does this would be a partisanist.
Republicans who assume all Democrats support Obama's policies are guilty of partisanism.

The striver is an interesting phenomenon that is seen across college campuses. In essence, the striver is an over-achiever who comes from a working or middle class family. He may be an immigrant. He may have been a slacker in HS who was "born again" into an academic wunderkind. Or he may just be an over-achiever who is keeping at it.

The striver is willing to sacrifice his social life at the expense of Phi Beta Kappa and Summa Cum Laude. The striver is the guy who stays at the library long after you are gone. The striver is the guy who takes 30 credits/semester and considers anything below an A/4.0 failure. The striver doesn't work on campus, he is too busy finding ways to pad his resume instead of working retail or workstudy. The striver lets his grades pay his education by applying to ten scholarships a year.

The striver is a future Soros/Fullbright/Rhodes/Gates/Marshall/etc. fellow. The striver lives to study. For the striver, their fun comes from the rewards they expect to receive in return for their diligence. Be it Law School, B-School, academia, or politics. The striver seeks to find the American Dream through academic success.
Anthony was a striver. He transfered from a TTT to an IVY and graduated in 2 years. He studied his ass off and went to Penn Law. He got a Biglaw offer. But lost it all because of an unmoderated mesasgeboard.

Successful strivers:
- Barack Obama
- Harold Koh

- I'm trying to book an award flight to Paris, but I only have 70,000 SkyPesos
- Just forget about it, you don't have enough SkyPesos to fly anywhere.
